From all indications, it very easy to say that the English Premier League Soccer is not just the most popular but also the most exciting league in the world as at this moment. With football being the most popular sport, it can also be said that the Premiership is the most popular sporting activity. It is the best football league and attracts a very high media attention. The media cannot help but report the activities of this league and this singular act also helps in increasing the popularity.
The unfortunate thing here is that though the English league is the best, the English National team has failed to record much success at the international competitions. The Premier League is popular due to a number of reasons which include the following:
The Premiership records most goals when compared to other leagues. Winning, they say is about scoring. Fans enjoy goals. In fact, that is the main reason they go to the stadium or have their eyes glued to their television. Once a goal is scored, everybody celebrates it; from the scorer to the team mates, the coaches and the fans.
The English Premier League Soccer has very strong teams with very high level of confidence. Each team fight very hard to be among the top 4 that will play in the European competitions and when it becomes obvious they will not make it, they fight even harder to avoid being relegated. The teams have a positive approach to playing. They don’t play not to lose; they play to win.
Most of the greatest clubs in the world are there in the league. Clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are any fan’s choice any day. They enjoy very strong followership all over the globe.
The league enjoys a good gathering of world class star players. Every great player that has not played for the EPL looks forward for an opportunity to be there. Success goes with followership. For each star player in the Premier League you have thousands of fans watching his game. Players like Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogber, Stephen Gerrard, etc bring a lot of fans to the league.
The power of the media is another reason the league is the most popular. There is hardly any newspaper in the world that does not have regular news and update about the premiership. The same goes for television stations around the world. This keeps fans abreast of all the fixtures, scores and every bit of exciting information.
