It's true. But I'd also say Brazilian and Argentinian championships are not that far behind european leagues. Certainly La Liga, Premier, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are better, but after that you could argue Brasileirao is better than Portuguese league or Edervise. 

What do you have to support this? I've never seen anyone try to equate these leagues. 

Honestly it's just a guess, I don't think there have been many times when they face each other. I base it on the production of players and how they fare when sent to more competitive leagues. I also have the feeling national team coaches value competition in Brasileirao very well, and at least in here in south america, argentina and brazil are like the stepping stone to reach visibility to end up in the top 5 leagues in europe. 

I'm sure with Edervise and Portuguese league it's kinda the same, but that's why I think they are in comparable level and it wouldn't be crazy to say one is better than another
