For La Liga, who does Vicente play for? If you're thinking Valencia well you got the wrong position. He plays the same position as Kily Gonzalez (he has even played forward). Certainly not a defender.
And Puyol is better than Ayala. Ayala is definitely the product of a good defensive system that Valencia has.
You forgot other notables such as Naybet, Sergio, and Coloccini.

sorry i don't follow la liga as much as the other ones. I was using Vicente from Valencia so that would be wrong...i'll take him off.
Spain: Helguera, Hierro, Salgado, Roberto Carlos,De Boer, Puyol, Juan Fran, Romero, Nadal, Christanvaal, Ayala, Sergio, Naybet, Coloccini

Pretty daring your estimations. The leagues just start! There are so many games to come where it can be proven wrong

If i had five, the french league might not even be one of them. I would consider Turkey and Holland with the french, so stop complaining

Keep dreamin pal ! Don't you know the Turkish and Dutch leagues have about less than 5 different teams each that could win the league. That's not balance.

I think Serie A wins it.
or..they should.
Otherwise they don't have any excuse to make the games less exciting than the EPL or the La Liga.
