It really depends on the criteria. England, Spain, and Italy all have had top teams and allow four teams (currently) to qualify for the Champions League. Smaller strong leagues have a lower quote but have still managed to create plenty of upsets, such as the Bundesliga (Germany), Portugal, and Eredevisie (Netherlands).\n\nThere is no top league, as each year, the champions change hands, but Spain definitely holds the single most successful club in European history (Real Madrid), Italy is a close second by having Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. England have Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea who can handle Europe, and smaller leagues such as Portugal (FC Porto, Benfica), Netherlands (PSV Eindhoven in recent years - earlier Ajax Amsterdam) have made it to the top honours.\n\nIn terms of TV revenue, the #1 league now is France, as they signed a record deal of over a billion dollars (not sure of the amount) with Canal+. It used to the Premiership, but not anymore.

The FIFA World Rankings is a ranking system for national teams in football (soccer). The teams of the member nations of FIFA, football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. A point system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of matches played in FIFA-recognized international competitions. Under the existing system, rankings are based on a team's performance over the last eight years, with more recent results being more heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a team. Teams delivering consistently good performances tend to be more highly ranked, and the system currently in use is somewhat slow to respond to significant changes in a team's performance. A new baseline of calculation, which will only consider results over a shorter four year period, will be introduced in July 2006.

It is Brazil who made the no. 1 in FIFA ranking as their own property for quite a few years by now.\n\nCurrent top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.   \n\nIf Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.

Of course the other first division leagues are better.  Those teams have been around for a hundred years.  The MLS is only 10 years old.  Give it time before you start trying to compare it to the EPL.  It may not be as pretty as the games from other countries, but it is still soccer and still great to watch.  It is also helping move the game along and make the US a more competitive national team. No complaints about it here.

Brazil. They are the no. 1 ranked team in the world at the moment.  Ghana on the other hand play an exciting brand of football but I just can't see them winning.

The Premier league in England is meant to be the toughest and most competitive and on terms of entertainment it is probably the best. La liga in spain is also good but mainly for the quality of football by players like ronaldihno. The English leagues are also good because of the support from the fans and people. they are much louder than other countries, though other countries have bigger stadiums

This question is tricky as most of those teams have not participated neither had a good position on the FIFA ranking so it Will make you answer the US. But I consider it will be equal comparison if you make the same question comparing top 20 teams in the FIFA ranking.
