English Premier League: The most exciting league in the world and YET?

Many People around the World label the English Premier league as the Most Exciting League in the World maybe as a result of the Suspense it creates when Bigger Clubs play the Smaller onces. In this case, anything can happen at the end of the match. It has been the culture of the Premier League for years now. For example, Nobody would believe Norwich FC would Stun Manchester United. Swansea FC have turned to Arsenal's Nightmare for this season. This can hardly Happen in the Spanish league (La Liga). So many People Watch and Enjoy all the English Premiership games with Utmost interest and suspense.

But to FIFA, this is not right... Chelsea won the UEFA Champion's League, Yes many complained about their style of play. Robie Van Persie was on song for Arsenal FC, moved on to Manchester United and continues the same feet, scoring goals week in week out for his club. This, to most superstars is hard to adapt. Juventus was outstanding and played as a very good team in the Italia League (Seria A) and won their League. Buffon was named the Goalkeeper of the Decade and He (Buffon) and Peter Cech were Outstanding in their respective clubsides BUT were not trading their play in the STAR STUDDED CLUBSIDES.

Then we ask What is the Criteria for FIFA, awarding a player at the end of a footballing year?  Is it the Player's outstanding performance in a Team or being among a star studded club?. That is what happened at the Ballon d'Or 2012 FIFA|FIFPro World XI Team of the Year. One thing stands out, Fernando Alonso woundn't have made the List if He still plays for Liverpool and Robie Van Persie, Buffon or Peter Cech would have made the List if they were playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid.
