That is the problem.
The A-League is not the EPL.
The standard is actually ok imo, but so many people expect EPL quality. Why would anyone ever expect that?
And, that's the problem. The money isn't in the game here so our best players head overseas.
It leaves us with the dregs but also gives great opportunities for junior players to shine, who also then head overseas when they succeed.
The A-League is really in a no-win situation.
It's sad really, because it actually is a really good comp.
Not only that, but there are also only three true national teams in this country that are popular nation wide.
The cricketers and the Socceroo's and Matilda's.
I think people like myself have limited amount of time to watch sports. So when I do well it's mainly rugby league. But if I was to watch soccer then I would watch the best of the best. I don't expect it to be as good. I just don't have time to watch EPL and A league anymore but when I did have time it was EPL.
A league is a victim of streaming any sport in the world.
