Then you have Valencia trying to inflate their players because they're so desperate to sell. Talking about Málaga, they're financially backed by Sheikh Abdullah Al Thani and have a squad that should be able to get them into the UEFA Champions League.
As for Ligue 1, well they'll have to accept being second place is a worthy achievement. The called him the Parguayan Lionel Messi, well that was until he decided to switch from Paraguay to Argentina. They fought out a tough draw against Barcelona, and would have given Barcelona a better contest if not for José Manuel Pinto being horrifically unsportsmanlike.
Sweden have always produced great footballers, from Gunnar Nordahl to Henrik Larsson to Zlatan Ibrahimović.
Player to watch: Celtic's 25-year-old Honduran left-back Emilio Izaguirre. Austria looks like a half-decent side. Player to watch: MTK Budapest's 19-year-old forward Patrik Tischler.
Though with the talent they do have, they will nurture them into world class footballers just like Uruguay, a nation with just 3.3 million people have done. Then you factor in a gold medal at the 1948 Olympics, finalists at the 1958 FIFA World Cup, third place in the 1950 and 1994 FIFA World Cup, and semifinalists at Euro 1992. It's somewhat symbolic of the Serbian SuperLiga to be ranked after the Nemzeti Bajnokság I because Serbia is experencing the same issues that Hungary did post-revolution.
The events surrounding Celtic manager Neil Lennon and his life being under threat over a game of football was disappointing to say the least.
Rudņevs had an excellent games against Juventus and a second string Manchester City side.
Mark my words, P.S.G will become perennial UEFA Champion League contenders. A.C. Milan are building a dynasty, and Inter Milan are rebuilding following the departure of José Mourinho and Leonardo.
Player to watch: Austria Vienna's 23-year-old Austrian attacking midfielder Zlatko Junuzović.
If you wanted to know, he's plays with more urgency than the languid Berbatov. He's at Guangzhou Evergrande in China with Darío Conca, both are earning money that would rank them among the best paid players in the world. The main problem with the Serbian SuperLiga is for all the talent their clubs produce or sign, they lose them after a breakout season. Lega Serie A was established in 2010. More often than not, they fail, which shows in the fact that a Veikkausliiga club hasn’t qualified for the Champions League since the 1998-1999 season when HJK Helsinki did. They have enough talent, they don't need to be stealing from other nations. So it's generally always Sparta Prague or sometimes Slavia Prague, though Viktoria Plzeň surprisingly won the league last season pipping Sparta Prague to the league title by a solitary point. One problem I see is the likes of Ben Sahar, Gai Assulin, Nir Mantsur and future Israeli teenagers venturing out to bigger leagues and trying to make it. One word to sum up the Uraknian Premier League in the past few seasons: Brazilian. Serie A changed it's logo and has restrucuted their league to copy that of the English Premier League (EPL), so lets see if it will be as financially successful as the EPL. Last season, Ståle Solbakken's Copenhagen gained a lot of respect for qualifying ahead of the more fancied Rubin Kazan and Panathinaikos. Shakhtar Donetsk: Eight Brazilians, two out on loan 2. Russian teams will contend in the UEFA Champions League for seasons to come. We produced Paul Van Himst, Fernand Goyvaerts, Enzo Scifo, Eric Gerets, Jean-Marie Pfaff, Jan Ceulemans and many more.
