Travel throughout Southeast Asia and you will soon notice that English Football shirts dominate over all other European leagues.
I don't know enough about the game to tell the difference between the quality of the national leagues of Europe, but whenever I meet a football purist they will you about how the Italian or Spanish league is better quality than the English league. This may or may not be so, but in terms of popularity English football is miles ahead.
Here is a good article about English Football at Time Magazine.
