World football - who has the best system?

I have to take my hat off to Jonathan Wilson, a Guardian journalist who produces some great articles on football. His latest piece, written for the FSF's magazine TFS (The Football Supporter) entitled 'Stolen thoughts of a football robot' attempts to answer the question most England fans ask every 4 years or so, sometimes every two years when we fail to qualify for Europe! The question of course is who has the best system in the world for producing good competitive league football, a good national team which competes at a world level and club sides who compete in their respective area competitions?

So who is it? Spain are currently European and World Champions, so is it natural that their league system is the best? Not when you consider that their league is one of the least competitive around and essentially is a two horse race. So, what about the Germans? Or even the Brazilians or the Argentinians?

Do yourself a favour and read the article here, it might just brighten your morning!
