Is the French League a little underrated? Should it get more respect? It divides opinion, an example, even though many rate someone like say Lacazette, he still somehow (not sure how) has a lot of reserved judgement out there, with the old lazy "Ah but the French league is only micky mouse" garbage. Even when Ibra was announced to come the PL, there were plenty saying it's a different ball game, he won't have it all his own way, etc... but he's carried on as he was doing in the France, and if he was a little more ruthless in parts this season, he'd be quite a few goals clear in the race for the Golden Boot.
Ok, maybe their bottom half teams aren't quite as good as those in the PL (which I wouldn't be too sure about anymore), but as we've seen in Europe lately with PSG absolutely destroying Barca, Monaco coming and scoring 3 away goals in an absolute cracker, and St Etienne giving a terrific account of themselves at Old Trafford against a team with a far superior squad (Still think 3-0 was a tad harsh scoreline on them).... so, is the level of the league vastly improving?
