The most viewed football competition in Nigeria is the
English Premier League (EPL). An array of stars is lined up in most of the top English clubs due to the League attracting superstars all around the globe. For about a decade
now an English club always gets to the final of the prestigious Champions League.
With the quality of this League it is expected that the
English will boast of players of their own who are superstars. I have always
believed most English football stars are just over hyped. So much noise was
made about the cute David Beckham. I did not see him as a spectacular player. I
believed he even got to be better when he joined Real-Madrid. I don’t see the John Terrys, Lampards, Ferdinands or any of their stars making big impact in
other Leagues. The likes of Rooney are also just over hyped. No wonder the young and
energetic Germans made mincemeat out of them in the world cup.
I don’t expect so much from the emerging over-hyped English young stars
in Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool. Let’s not forget so much noise was
made for Walcott too.
The English league may be the best but the English players
can’t hold their own down.
