    Said the last few years that Germany have been incredible. They have hot he nail on the head with their youth programmes and fans involvement is immense.
    Very exciting league in terms of winners coz in the last 10 years there have been several winners of the bundesliga and it really is on the rise.
    Other countries could learn a lot from the German model of football.

    Has been by far the best league in the world for 3-4 years now and will only get stronger. I think as a whole the league produces the best quality of football and produces and develops the best young players. It is generally the most competitive in the world also, hence recently the huge number of differing clubs who have won the league, been in European places, been in relegation battles etc. The fact that there is rarely a spare seat in any stadium ( many with 50,000+ capacities ) is testament to the leagues success in recent years.

    Germany is probably the best ran country for football in Europe. They do a great job with training, the Bundesliga and 2 Bundesliga are very exciting and the financial rules from the DFB are top and the rest of Europe should use them as a guide. Even though I love Celtic and the SPL I find the German Leagues way more exciting than the English and Spanish.

    While it's very good for Germany how well they are doing you have to remember that it's only come about due billions of £££s invested in football by the government and the emergence of large numbers of footballers from immigrant backgrounds. These situations aren't easily replicated in other countries.

    Fantastic country for Football :50: Proud to be able to call myself part German, and I can easily see us winning World Cups in the near future. I watch the Bundesliga quite often as a neutral (though I do have a soft spot for Bayern) and it's easily the most competitive league in the world. No terrible teams that have zero chance of competing with the top teams, always entertaining games and the fans are second only to us :icon_mrgreen:
