If the Universe is expanding into existing space then the cosmological principle is violated.

Mathematically I would be able to define a "centre" of the Universe.
To account for the cosmological red shift data and observation that shows that the Universe is isotropic, I would have to place the Earth at the precise centre of the Universe.

Now that is too much of a coincidence.
