Have you ever wondered what leagues contribute the most players at the World Cup?
Kicker has counted the leagues of origin of the 736 players, and it turns out that the English Premiership is the one with the highest representation, followed by the Bundesliga and the Serie A.
The top 5 leagues are:
| League | N. of players at the World Cup |
|---|---|
| 1. Premiership | 86 |
| 2. Bundesliga | 69 |
| 3. Serie A | 59 |
| 4. Primera Division | 49 |
| 5. French Ligue 1 | 47 |

What do you mean, 86 players from the Premiership are in the toilet? Is that at the same time? Surely the French do not make the top 5!
