Unnamed Trialist Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If they'd been given that deserved penalty and scored it (which I somehow think they would not have), no one would call them the worst or even near it. I was just researching this a bit online as others are doing, and one of the good ones is that Pescara season in Serie A where they got one win all season--but it was a game they actually lost but were given a 3-0 in their favor because the rival fielded an ineligible player.

You used an article from 2016 to prove the CPL is the worst league in the world. I have no idea why something doesn't jive here but maybe you can enlighten me. You rank right up there with BBtB for biggest douchebag...and that's currently btw. You off your meds again?

Bison44 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hmm, worst team in CPL, but probably the best paid attendance (as I hear sifting through various parrot droppings Forge has substantial give aways and deals). Imagine if we won a few games. Is it bad I am already thinking about next year?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opening post of this thread read as follows: If the CPL is the world's worst national league, then Valour FC has to be the undisputed world's worst club! The second part of that post is an indisputable fact. Valour FC is the worst club in the CPL. So far, there has not been any evidence presented here that would disprove the first part of that post. Maybe, if Cavalry FC ends up beating both the Impact and Toronto FC, that the CPL can claim that the MLS is a worse league than the CPL, but until that happens the CPL will still be the worst national soccer league in North America, and with CONCACAF being the worst confederation in the world, I maintain that Valour FC has to be the undisputed world's worst soccer club!

Scotland predictably ranked as the worst league in the world... even though they're not even the worst league in the UK. You may need a geography lesson. Even the DR Congo league doesn't belong on that list. CPL is a lot closer to the top leagues than the worst leagues if we're doing a worldwide scale from 1-200. CPL is probably higher than the CMNT's ranking.. fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binky Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 WOW! Maybe the CPL is better then I thought. Kick Algorithms has the CPL ranked at 77th in the world, just slightly ahead of the Campeonato Caboverdiano de Futebol (Cape Verde Islands League). https://www.kickalgor.com/ Would anyone here pay $20 for the cheapest ticket to watch a Cape Verdian championship match? If there's enough interest, I'm willing to organize a tour for the next Sporting Clube da Praia vs CS Mindelense clash, which should be a real doozy!

Are you unhinged? Do you seriously think that the CPL is worse than say... the Haitian or Grenadian leagues? 1) If you do, you’re out to lunch; and, 2) If you don’t, you’re just a troll so get lost. deschamp86, Cheeta, grande and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering the second best team in CPL beat their champion 4 months into existence I would rank it around CPL. That same league had 2-3 players in the last World Cup. Guatemalan teams have also beat MLS and Liga MX teams so they’re no slouches. I think top 50 (top divisions only) wouldn’t be far off.

It's only halftime and the second best team in CPL is only up one goal, after having had the home-field advantage in the first half. Knowledgeable soccer supporters like you and Ted must surely know that the game's not over until the final whistle has sounded, right? ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
