    Sounds plausible to me, but how are these things measured?

    Let's get real here, I criticize reports that place Argentina so poorly and I will criticize this.

    I think the top 6 Premier League teams, the top 4 Calcio teams and the top 2-3 Bundesliga teams would beat the best of Primera A in a best of 10 games more than 50% of the time...

    This is the real strength:

    1 Spain (only because of Barcelona, otherwise it would be below the Premier)
    2 England (is a more balanced league but it underperforms in int. tourneys)
    3 Brazil (better league than Argentina mainly their clubs have money now)
    4 Italy (diminished of late but still good)
    5 Germany (not very dominant internationally but the most balanced)
    6 Argentina (the big teams are not as strong as in the past, and the small teams just too small to win against the Brazilian top teams in Libertadores

    7 France
    8 Mexico
    9 Netherlands
    10 Russia
    11 Portugal
    12 Turkey
    13 Paraguay
    14 Chile
    15 United States
