cnradio: IFFHS Asian League Rankinng 2005 According to Chinese media, the stupid IFFHS league ranking is decided by the following facts: First and most important: the leagues' performance in continent Champions Cups Second: quality of the Foreign players Third:viewership rate for league matchs, especially for overseas broadcast and some other options. 1.(36.) UAE E-League401,5 2.(41.) Saudi Arabia The Custodian of The Two Holy Mosques League Cup 376,0 3.(46.) China CSL 348,0 4.(53.) Korea (S) K-League 317,0 5.(56.) Japan J-League310,0 6.(57.) Qatar Q-League308,5 7.(63.) Iran IPL 297,0 [64. USA MLS 294,5] 8.(67.) Kuwait 288,0 9.(69.) Jordan 285,5 10.(75.) Uzbekistan Oliy Liga 277,0 11.(77.) Bahrain 257,0 12.(79.) Turkmenistan 254,5
How did they throw MLS in the mix as they have their own CL, totally separate from the ACL? We definitely belong in the top 5 on that list, though I'm a bit surprised we're above the J-League.
This poll doesn't mean anything. I'm curious...those the AFC have something like the UEFA Coefficents? Where teams who do well in Asia get more spots in Asian football tournaments?
Seems CSL general secretary is very happy with the Ranking, in a interview he said " I don't know much about E-League and Saudi league, but obviously CSl has more popularity than K-League and J-league, K-League and J-league never achieved such kind of success as we have in middle 1990s', if the league resumes as it used to be in 1997, no doubt the CSL will be NO.1 league in asia! the foundation of CSL company give us a chance to realize that! and let's look at what our stupid media said: http://sports.sina.com.cn/s/2006-01-08/0132751466s.shtml in this article they said K-league and J-league sucks after 2002 WC, and will became weaker in few years
Why? Is it because all their stars will have moved abroad; thus, improving the overall development of Korean and Japanese football?
Ranked above Japan. Right there this list has discredited itself. If the CSL is managed half as well the way Japan is doing it China would have been a soccer superpower already.
Those who dont see their posts anymore, its because I removed them. You were trolling. I want to see none of that, and consider this your last warning. If you have trouble making useful, non-trolling posts, Id be happy to help ban you from the China forum, just ask. Tex.
I must have missed this, because this is totally hilarious. Sure Jia A had some glory years that are easy to talk about, but all of those come before the major corruption scandals which are more recent. It is possible for the CSL to overcome those bad memories and build itself up again, but its not going to be easy. That "if" in his comments is a very, very big if.
