In the English league there are 6-8 teams that dominate most years and are never relegated. I suppose they are the richest. As best I can tell the other top euro leagues are each dominated by 2-3 teams. Would be very boring for me to be a fan of the other teams. Hope for an upset win or two of the top teams each year and to avoid relegation. The EPL seems the champion is almost always decided a couple months before the season is over. I guess it’s what they grew up with but I like our sports leagues.
We went to 2 games in Turin a couple years ago. One at Juventus and one at Turino FC. The Turino FC game was such a better environment. Much more singing and chanting, and taunting the opposing supporters who were caged in plexiglass. The fans just seemed much more passionate and the big money Juventus stadium felt sterile and more like an American football game. Although the Juventus supporters were on strike about something at the time, so that may have contributed.
I do like the idea of caging the opposing fans. We saw them coming into town in buses with 50 police cars escorting them into their own barricaded entrance to go straight into their pen, and straight back out and out of town after. Probably would be a good treatment for Phillies fans!
