How do the lower leagues compare?

How do the lower leagues in England compare with the lower leagues in other countries? I like to imagine they are a lot better than their direct counterparts.

I think that the Championship is better than most, if not all, equivalent leagues (and probably a fair number of top leagues). Oftentimes there isn't a big difference between the best teams in the Championship and the worst teams in the Premiership and the Prem is usually regarded as the 'deepest' of the top leagues in terms of quality. I can't really speak for League One and below, but I imagine it's a similar story.

Championship is definitely the best not-top tier league in the world. Miles above Liga Segunda and Bundesliga 2. Championship is also better than most top flights in the world, I would argue everyone except the top 7 leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Portugal).

Football Manager actually has a very accurate list of leagues in a ranking system.

I would add Russia to that list as well. Maybe Turkey and Ukraine.

Looking at second leagues I'd say it would be between England and Spain.
It's really tough to say, England either has the best or second best second tier in the world. As for 3rd and 4th tier they probably have the best. Only third tier competition rivaling England's would be the 3. Liga in Germany. As for 4th league? The League 2 is the only 4th tier I can think of that is actually professional football.

I would say:
1st tier:
1. La Liga
2. Premier League
3. Bundesliga

2nd tier:
1. Championship
2. Segunda División
3. 2. Bundesliga

3rd tier:
1. 3. Liga
2. League 1
3. Lega Pro/Segunda División B

4th tier:
1. League 2
No other league really comes close.

With La Liga, are we going by the top teams? Or the whole shebang? Because the Premiership is a much deeper league than La Liga. I'd take the Premiership's bottom 15 over La Liga's bottom 15 and I honestly don't think it's close.
