Bundesliga vs EPL: Which is the better football league?

Well, we have to start with the observation that both the German Bundesliga and the English Premier League (EPL) are both superb leagues. Thus if you were to pose this question to any group of serious football fans, they wouldn’t be able to give straigtfward answers – as both the Bundesliga and the English Premier Leauge are good in their own different ways.

I think when it comes to technical astuteness, the Bundesliga is somewhat ahead of the EPL. But this is just my view, and it based on the observation that whenever EPL teams meet Bundesliga teams, the EPL teams almost always seem to be struggling. The Germans seem to have a certain scientific approach to football and a certain level of technical discipline that the English folks seem to be unable to match. But of course, this is just one aspect of the game.

On the other hand, when it comes to ‘swag’, the EPL is way ahead of the Bundesliga. The English people have really worked hard at popularizing their league, to a point where it is well loved and appreciated all over the world. Some people watch the EPL regularly and almost exclusively, only getting to catch Bundesliga games once in a while. So you find that the game played by EPL games may not be as technically sophisticated as the game played by Bundesliga teams, but it is certainly more entertaining. I also think that the EPL is the better monetized league, and EPL teams (and fanbases) tend to be more diverse than Bundesliga teams and fanbases.
