Over the last week, we’ve gone Premier League-centric at SB Nation Soccer, celebrating the launch of the English Premier League’s 19th season. Whether it’s the best league in the world - that’s debatable. Whether the EPL is the biggest league in the world is less controversial. More people watch English football than any other league in the world, so excuse us our momentary obsession. We like England, too, as if you couldn’t tell by the content overflow.
