Haaland was born in England to Norwegian parents, so he could choose. but there are also a couple of people that could have chosen between 3-4 countries. If you have parents from different countries, were born In a third country but grew up in a fourth country, then you have a lot of choices
It’s really cool to hear how invested Corey got into Newcastle and football generally. If possible it would be really cool if you could watch the World Cup final together or at least the highlights of it
Not quite after the Saudi "money" so far they've spent money stockpiled by Mike Ashley... currently it's a case of he's lucky he discovered Newcastle after Mike Ashley left and since Eddie Howe took over. We've yet to see Newcastle really tap into the Saudi spending power more or less because of FFP, but once they get the new sponsorship deals through the door and they secure Champions League football they'll be able to take more of a swing with their spending. It only looks like they spent a lot since the takeover because they spent barely anything compared to the teams around them over the past 5 or 6 years and then just spent a chunk over two windows, yet to put that into perspective even with those two windows factored in, West Ham and Everton have spent more. 9 players that featured in that Spurs game were at Newcastle before the takeover, so let's also give Eddie Howe some credit in how his transformed existing players who didn't even look good enough to play Premier League football for long periods of time, let alone be part of a team that's sat in 3rd for a good period of the season.
Normal football season for most European and south American clubs is August to May. Slight variation can occur. Some leagues pause for a few weeks in the winter. Some smaller northern European leagues run February to November to avoid the winter like Sweden Norway etc the MLS also runs similarly
It would be good to find a fan or someone else with deep football knowledge that would be available during these podcasts, on a discord call or something just listening in. You and Corey would talk just as you are now, and if you ever hit a brick wall or have a question about something you can't figure out you can buzz him in and ask then he can give you instant feedback as opposed to waiting for the comments to answer. Plus, comments don't always answer every pressing question you have.
One thing that even many lifelong football fans don't know is that added time is a "MINIMUM", so the ref has the minimum time to be added and he judges if any more needs to be added in addition to that
Ikr, it’s hilarious, every game when the additional time is announced they even say the word “minimum” 😂 I’m an Arsenal fan and the amount of people who called us lucky after the Bournemouth 3-2 game after we scored 1 minute over the added time yet Bournemouth time wasted for a whole minute right at the start of the added time
It's worth saying top 4 is really important because it qualifies for Champions league which is massive money and the best football. Especially for Newcastle them getting top 4 this year would be an excellent season
Newcastle were sensational for the first 21 minutes, everything they touched turned to gold. Isaks goals to minutes played ratio is just shy of Haalands, and he has got a couple of years of development needed and hes going to be a beast. Joe Willock earned his nickname "Willochinio" with easily the best assist of the season, the transformation of Joelinton under Eddie Howe is incredible, Sean Longstaff is the glue holding the midfield together, Bruno Guimares would slip straight into any squad in the country right now. He could have played in Sir Bobbies Champions League squad. The really scarey thing is Newcastle are just 1 year into their turnaround, after the wreck and ruin of Mike Ashleys ownership. They are going to dominate, Cory picked a very good time to follow a very good club!
Stoppage time is decided based on how much the game was "stopped" in the first 90 minutes. After that, no time is added. The ref can technically stop the game whenever he wants to, but it depends on what's going on. The ref might stop the game early if one team is getting spanked 6-1 for example or if a team is in a good attacking position and in possession of the ball he might let them keep going till it ends. The difference from the time he's expected to stop usually isn't over a minute. Harry kane has interest from Manchester United and bayern Munich and his contract with Tottenham ends in a year.
This isn’t entirely correct. The ref has to let play go on for a minimum of x minutes. So no, the ref doesnt stop the game early even if its one sided. Also there are times when the winning team or team playing for the draw, tries to stall the game by going down and acting injured during stoppage time. In those cases, the ref usually adds a few mins in addition to the stoppage time
for friendlies between seasons, top teams like united rarely play their A-side against someone like wrexham. It's the time to test the academy players, B-squad, helping fitness for players coming back from injury, etc
3:47 there was. His name is Sir Alex Ferguson. Let say Bill Belichick had similarities to SAF. SAF reign last for 26 or 27 years and he also created a dynasty for Manchester United from 90's to early 2010's in English football
Another one that should be mentioned is Alan Curbishley, 15 years at Charlton and got them from lower end of the 2nd tier to top 10 premier league regularly, after he left (he left, didn't get sacked) they collapsed and now sit in the 3rd tier
This was the comment I was looking for. Also looking for a correction on Pep going from Barça to ManCity skipping the years at Bayern and the titles there.
Sorry there isn't a "derby weekend" where they put rivalry games on over the same weekend. Sometimes it may line up with a couple of big derbies on a weekend but it's not intentional. The police would simply not allow them to do such a thing anyway haha.
@@lukessportsacademy they do that in the mls I think. LA Galaxy vs LAFC. Houston Dynamo vs FC Dallas. Portland vs Seattle. Nycfc vs New York Red Bulls. Etc. And they call it rivalry week.
You definitely need a joint Q&A style stream where you guys ask the viewers about issues you're unsure of about any topic in football as we can help a lot with administrative issues (when the season is played and the role of FIFA) as well as questions about the actual game itself e.g clubs history, roles of people in a club. Really enjoying your stuff :)
With choosing a team, if you’re stuck between 2 then I don’t think either are for you, like Corey he just stumbled into it and all of a sudden, he’s a Newcastle fan. Just enjoy the games and you’ll know when you’ve found your team.
If you don't find yourself drawn to your local team, that's definitely the way to do it. Thats why I work with Londoners who support Man United and Geordies who support Liverpool. A lot more fun that way.
Man sometimes I wish I wa there to solve some of these questions haha. Nationalities in football and most sports can get complicated, but it all makes sense now that we have rules and regulations. The most important rule is, once you play 1 minute in an official (not friendly) match for a country, your are tied for life. You made your choice and you can't change represented countries anymore.
Not true here in concacaf(and I’m pretty sure everywhere bc fifa is the governing body)you have to make 3 official fifa appearances before being cap tied to country
Tbh that's how people become football fans: they cheer for the team that is winning. When the wins stop coming, but they stuck with the club, that's when you know that you're a fan. Just ask most liverpool fans, Istanbul is gotta be there somewhere. Barcelona fan? Ronaldinho / messi era. United? Golden generation or 99 treble. Etc.
I'm not sure if anyone has explained this to you but here goes: Playoffs DO exist in Association Football In fact, in the Wrexham documentary part of this process is documented. In the Premier League you get like 5 european tournament spots for the top 5 The English League cup winner also gets a spot in the european draw If an English team wins one of the european cups they can also get a free ticket to the european competition for the following season. 3 teams at the bottom are relegated to the Championship (tier 2) In the Championship, 1st and 2nd are auto-promoted to the Premier League Following teams 3-6th or 3-8th depending on the division then compete for a final promotion place in a playoff series. In the National League (tier 5) Wrexham were faced with only 1st place gets promoted then 1 other team promoted via playoff 2nd-7th. Thankfully they came first so guaranteed promotion this season. FA Cup and English League Cup are both straight knockout tournaments. European competition is Group Stage followed by Knockout Stage, the entire competition is filled with teams based on the previous years results so it sometimes becomes a clown fiesta like Sevilla are like 12th in La Liga at the moment but just knocked Man Utd who are like top 5 in Premier League this season out of Uefa cup. Sevilla obviously placed well last year but this season they've been trash domestically but still get a 'cup run' (playoff run) in european competition. ----- Sorry for the long post :D -----
48:00 The seasons are different based on the continents. In Europe, the season runs from late August to late May so it's really just two months off for players. It's in that window that these international tournaments like the world cup and the euros are usually scheduled.
As for the question of long term coaches in the Premier League who are like Bill Belichick… there is only really 2, Alex Ferguson at Man Utd for 26 years and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal for 22 years. In the modern era of football coaches/managers usually only spend 1-2 years at any one club. For perspective, in the top 4 divisions in England (92 teams) there are only 6 managers who’s tenure is 4years or more.
Great video lads. So much to comment on, but I’ll limit it to a few points. Being at St James’ Park on Sunday, it was a crazy first 21 minutes. There was definitely a feeling of ‘what on earth or we witnessing?’. I can’t think of a time where I’ve seen anyone (let alone Newcastle) take a team apart so quickly! Luke, choose your team carefully but don’t just pick it on how good a team is at that time. Things change. A team that is terrible can quickly become a team that is great (Newcastle is a prime example. 18 months ago we were dreadful!) and vice versa. There needs to be a deep connection there (though I think it’s easy to say that as someone who supports their home town club). The Football season in most of Europe runs from August through to the following May. ‘Derbies’ are specifically local or regional rivalries. Occasionally you might get a couple of different derbies occurring in the same round of fixtures, but there isn’t really a situation where loads of derbies are played at the same time. As strange as it may seem, the US actually has the oldest footballing history of any country outside of the British Isles. I’d recommend a book called ‘Soccer In A Football World’ by David Wangerin which is an excellent book about the history of football in the US. If Corey has any questions re Newcastle in his journey learning about the club and supporting us, by all means drop me a line.
The coach in UK called manager because they are more involved than just coaching like they have more right to influence players transfer or other thing outside the dressing room. The best example was former man united manager Alex Ferguson and former arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Being from San Diego and grown up a suffering Chargers fan, Tottenham Hotspur, to me, reminds me of the English version of the Chargers, without a doubt. Talented players and should be a good team, but consistently find new ways to lose and humiliate themselves 😂
Turns out this is a fun conversation to listen to. You're not just talking about football but also football. I mean, having someone talking about football with southern accent is the best part. Because most of football talkshow speak with their British accent. And we are exchanging information from this. And one thing you can't be missed. You need to watch Manchester City vs Arsenal game. Because this game will become championship game for this season. Kick off maybe on 2 or 3 PM Dallas time. Also you have to tackled Champions League semifinals on the next episode.
some context to the Tottenham loss is needed. The owner called Levi has spent million on a new stadium but has no love for football so over the past couple years he has let the spurs team go downhill. He wont buy the players we need because he is tight with money even when previous managers have asked for them and the 6-1 was a reflection of how much frustration us Tottenham fans have. We want to win stuff and hopefully we will however we will never do it without new ownership. The players gave up before the Newcastle match had even started and that shows in the apologies and refunds the players personally gave. Tottenham isnt about winning, its about being a family who have ups and downs together
You could think of the champions league as the playoffs for all of Europe. top 4 teams get invited to a knockout tournament it’s just the regular league has its own winner
this is kinda random, and i dont know if you guys know this: In football you dont trade players (you can, but dont happen often) like in the nba and nfl. But in football a club buys and sells their players to and of other clubs. Doesn’t matter if the club you buying from is in your own leaque or in a other counrty. So you pay a money fee to the club you get the player from. So big clubs with a lot of money can buy the good players from the poorer clubs. That happened to leicester city, all their good players went to other clubs after their championschip season.
They call it the Managerial Merry-go-round with the hirings and firings. There have been managers who have been at clubs decades, Arsenal Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson being named that come to mind.
Nice to see a Magpie abroad! Howay the lads! You should do a video on Newcastle's all time GOAT Alan Shearer. What a striker. Regarding stoppage time and it taking longer than the given number, if any stoppages occur during stoppage time, that can also be taken into account by the referee.
47:57 summer is the off season, every league start and end their league at slightly different times...but, for the top leagues in Europe, it is mostly from September to May and depending on the leagues and how many clubs are playing in said league, there can be a various amount of games to be played, for example, in both the Premier league and Serie A, only for the league (so not for the cups or for the Uefa tournaments) there are 38 matches to be played in a season.
The top two "one-club-managers" are imo Arsene Wenger who managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, and the greatest manager of all time sir Alex Ferguson who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. Wenger won 3 Premier Leagues, one of which where they went undefeated in 03/04, 7 FA Cups and 7 Charity/Community Shields, 2 Doubles (winning the domestic cup and the domestic league the same year) in 97/98 and 01/02 (both FA Cup+Premier League). Fergie won 13 Premier Leagues, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 8 Charity/Community Shields, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Super cup, and 1 FIFA World Club Championship, 3 Doubles in 93/94 (FA Cup+Premier League), 95/96 (FA Cup+Premier League), 09/10 (League Cup+Premier League), and the Treble (winning a domestic cup, the domestic league, and the Champions League in the same season) in 98/99. Not to mention what sir Alex did with Aberdeen before he went to United, breaking up the domination of Rangers and Celtic in the Scottish Premier League, winning 3 Scottish Premier Leagues, 4 Scottish Cups, 1 Drybrough Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup, and 1 European Super Cup, doing 1 Double in 83/84.
stoppage time consists out of player exchanges, showing cards, injury treatments, VAR times, or a little beef amongst players..etc... basically everything which is stopping the game within the official 90 minutes and those lost time got added at the end... The ref is wearing on his wrist a stopwatch and he stops the watch when ever the game got interrupted for longer than just few seconds and short before the offical 90 minutes are over - he looks at his watch and adds that amount of time which is left on his stopwatch for having actual 90 minutes game time......and "Yes" lost time during the stoppage time will be added as well...the shown up stoppage time is not absolute...because injuries can happen, the VAR can happen, everything which is interrupting the game can happen in the stoppage time as well obviously..and that will be added as well in order to get the actual 90 minutes game time.
Those trophies you were looking at for Tottenham are deceiving. They haven't won anything in the past 15 years, those titles were back in the mid 1900's
Seasons go throguh two years, the one we are in is 2022/23, it starts in August and ends in May, with a pause in January. June, July, August it's usually when there's a pause for national teams (World cup every 4 years, EUROs, Copa America etc). Also, there's transfer windows, one in January and one from June 30th to September 1st, when you can buy, sell and loan players
other random fact: in the premier leaque the top 4 clubs qualify for the champions leaque next season, spot 5 and the winner of the FA cub qualify for the europa leaque(lesser version of the champions leaque), spots 6 and 7 are qualifing for the conference leaque(the lesser version of the europa leaque) and place 18, 19 and 20 are getting relegated. So you have three international club toornaments: champions leaque, europa leaque and the conference leaque.
So as an American, I found the EPL format of crowning a champion more "fair" ... more a determinate of who was actually the best team of the league over a long season (August to May). The schedule has every team playing each other home and away, so you do not get an advantage by avoiding certain divisions (NFL) or teams within your conference (College Football). Moreover, a wild card team can get hot at the end of a season and win four games, become champion and yet they were mediocre over the full season, which is really a random outcome.
We have that in every league in football, while in cup competition like cls, world cups, euro, copa etc you have only 6-7 important game that matters, so many team in a calendar does very well in 38 game league but not well in cup games and vice versa. few team in history has won league, int.cup competition, home cup competition which we say treble in same season.
Since Corey is one of us now, he should know if he ever watches Sunderland til i die he has to root against Sunderland and laugh at them as they’re rivals with Newcastle
Talking about Tottenham and Man Utd so much you should check out Teddy Sherringham great player In addition, Gareth Bale was insanely good for Tottenham and Man Utd wanted him for big dollars but he wanted to leave for Madrid for a record fee €100mil or something like that Bit of a tragic career story he has but also incredible player on a good day
Re: playoffs, yes no playoffs in the Premier league but every league below it does have a playoff to decide the final promotion place in each league, normally between 4 teams, it's semi finals over 2 legs and a final, played at Wembley, Nottingham Forest won the playoff final last season to go to the Premier league and these games are often the most dramatic, as whole seasons are on the line
23:50 That's the point, why should you "screw the rest of the season"??? There's insane work that goes behind winning a league, and it can be just as exciting as your playoffs sometimes. Last year, for example, the league came down to the last day, and the two teams were playing at the same time, not knowing what the other is doing. Or 2012, when City won the league in the last minute of the last day.
If any clubs finish with the same number of points, their position in the Premier League table is determined by goal difference, then the number of goals scored, then the team who collected the most points in the head-to-head matches, then who scored most away goals in the head-to-head.
In regards to added time, if a team is attacking the ref will continue after the allowed time so long as the ball is still in play and it’s a clear and obvious attack
Arsenal may be the best for him cause it would be like the Cowboys finally getting back to glory. It's why this skins fan is now an arsenal fan. The Amazon prime show featuring them made me fall in love w Bukayo and Mikel
There's a an expression that's been coined in recently "Spursy " which means blowing it or bottling like Spurs. You guys should watch Oozing Expressions for his match day reaction.
On Derbies - there are loads of derbies. Some are regional such as east Anglian derby, Norwich City vs Ipswich Town), some are local (like the North London Derby, Arsenal vs Tottenham). There are great rivalries, like Arsenal vs Man Utd, that are not derbies. So an American sports equivalent say in the NBA, Knicks vs Nets and Lakers vs Clippers would be a local derby, and Heat vs Magic would be a regional ‘Florida derby’.
I love your content, it's nice to see guys discovering a game i love since little kid. I'm happy for you ! Here are some comments in reaction to some questions you had and some things you said. In european football as Luke said there are multiple competitions that are played at the same time during a season. A classic season begin in august generally and end in may or june. There are a few interruption in between by international break during the season (one week at a time in general, it's a that moment that international team play their qualification game for the world cup for example). During the season the team compet in the following competition (for the biggest club) : - The national championship (Premier league, liga etc.) - The national cup (in some country there is 2 kind of national cup ) (FA cup, copa del rey etc.) - The europeans championships ( for those how qualify only ; The champions league, Europa league, conference league) - A few small competition that are generally played in a few matches that are called the supercup (those are a bit less important but count as a title). - The club world cup is a competition that regroup the winners (and sommes runner-up etc.) frome the different continental championship (european champions league, copa libertadores etc.). The trebel that you mention is winning : your national league, your national cup and the champions league. If we had to make a hierarchy this would probably be the order of importance : - The champions league (It’s the biggest competition and most prestigious in club football) - The national league (the 5 biggest national league are the premier league, La liga, la serie A, the Bundesliga and ligue 1 event tho historically and in general i think the first 3 are the 3 biggest). - The national cup - The others smallest titlle i mention. As i said in term of of prestige the world cup is of course the biggest competition. Then there are international trophy : - World cup - Euro, copa america, CAN etc. These are maybe the most prestigious and watched competition (especially the world cup) because winning with your country is something elsea and the level is of course every good but as they are not use to play together like in club i think it’s a bit behind the club football in term of level and The champions league is in term of pure level the biggest competition. PS : Sorry if my english is not perfect, not my first language.
I love this presentation. Great to watch All Americans for all teams and players have a cowboys comparison, a browns comparison and a labron comparison.
Luke if you see this comment, as a Spurs fan, it isn't often when a newbie football fan decides to support the Spurs. It might be tough to be a spurs fan, but someday when we do win a trophy, it would be the greatest day of our lives. We also have a new manager named Ange Postecoglou, and he might be the perfect manager for us to finally get back on track. I recommend you react to a video by the channel FourFourTwo that details Postecoglou's insane rise to the Premier League and his tremendous winning mentality.
Good luck with the podcast guys. The end of the season is going to be insanely tense as 5 big clubs have the potential to go down (of course only 3 will) in the Premier League.
FIFA is the governing body for the whole world. There are other governing bodies over the continents, UEFA is Europe, CONCACAF is North America, Central America and the Caribbean... etc. Then there is a football association in every country. For example the English Football Association is therefore under UEFA. The governing bodies all have their own competition, UEFA European Championship for example. They also host qualification rounds for the World Cup.
Dude I just found your channel and I love it. I'm an Irish guy who is literally going through the reverse of you guys. I'm a Chelsea fan and our season has been our worst in like 3 decades so I was like I need another sport to take my mind off this, started watching NFL and can't lie I'm now Hooked. Iv thrown my lot in with the Buffalo Bills, the way Josh Allen throws that ball does it for me. I do have a soft spot for the Ravens though.
The main thing about Tottenham firing their manager is because they're at risk of dropping out of the Champions League or Europa League qualification places. Which would be a big financial hit. As an Aston Villa fan, I'm hoping that this happens though, because we are trying to take their place.
30:20 i will try to explain: So, if u are born like he said, in Italy, and move on to Germany as a little boy, u can choose the nationality and represent Germany. Something that we call "naturalization". Like Jorginho, (player of Arsenal), he is brazilian, but he move on to Italy, and choose to play for Italy, cuz Italy gave him opportunities that for the Brazilian team he would not have. in case he has both passports, but if I'm not mistaken, after a limit of matches, you can't go back and want the other national team.
I enjoy the conversational style of the podcast where Corey and you discuss football, and it is one of my favorites. However, I have a suggestion that I think could make it even better. It would be great if you could cover the Champions League more, as it is the most significant competition in Europe, and we are now approaching the semifinals. It seems a bit odd that you are not giving it more attention.
Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest Manager ever The G.O.A.T and he stayed at Manchester united for almost 3 decades while winning 13 premier league titles the most ever by anyone 2 Champions League and lots of other cups
It is overall cheaper to fire the manager than change the players so firing managers is common. Also Alex Ferguson was the manager of Man Utd from 1986 to 2013. Also european cup is the champions league which Spurs have never won. They have won the Cup winners cup which is now defunct. Okay so here is how national teams work. You can play for a national team if you have citizenship there or you have had relatives from there. So it is not in opposition to each other. All that happens is that we have breaks in the season where national teams play their qualification matches.
44:00 there are national federations, that are the ones in charge of every league (premier League has is own federation, La liga in Spain have their own separate one, Italy has one etc etc). Then there is the continental federations who are a conglomerate of every national federations, that runs both international club football and national team tournaments, for exmaple UEFA is the one in charge of Europe and it is the governing body that organize and regulate tournaments like the Champions League or the Euro for example. And then there is FIFA, the all encompassing international governing body for football, the one who regulate world football and that it consist of every continental federation and that it is in charge of the World Cup.
Sir Alex Ferguson managed Manchester United from 1986-2013. Arsène Wenger managed Arsenal from 1996-2018. Pep Guardiola managed Bayern Munich after he managed Barcelona from 2013-2016, and has been managing Manchester City since.
Did you hear about the 6 club Premier League pre-season tournament happening in the USA? It’s Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford, Aston Villa & Fulham It’s set to happen in July
Kane is stuck at Tottenham cause his agent is his dumb ass brother and got Harry tied into a long term deal he couldn’t really get out of. He kinda tried to force a move away a couple of years ago but had absolutely no leverage to make it work.
Many players are eligible for more than one country; A National Team may call up an eligible player but the player can turn this down if they wish to play for another Nation. Once the player plays in one competitive game (even as an 89th minute substitute) for a National team they cannot swap. Plenty of English players have declared for other countries once it became clear that they would never be selected for England. Famously the 1990 Ireland World Cup Squad only had 6 Irish born players in the team, 13 were born in England, 2 Scotland and 1 Wales. To qualify as Irish only one grand parent had to be born in Ireland (or one parent). This lead to accusations that Ireland were really the England B-Team (Reserves). However the Squad were very successful, reaching the Quarter finals and this boosted the popularity of the Sport in Ireland. England similarly played Owen Hargreaves on the basis of his ancestry. Owen Hargreaves was born in Canada to a Welsh mother and English father, and moved to Germany at 16 to play for Bayern Munich. Due to his long term residency in Germany he would have been eligible to play for Germany in the future; but in 2001 he accepted a call up to England, turning down both Canada and Wales, and a potential possible eligibility for Germany in the future
Throughout the season, youll see 1-2 week breaks across all leagues for when players are called up to their intl. teams to play. Sometimes they play friendlies, sometimes they play qualification games for big tournaments. Players arent required to join up with their international teams, but most players go anyway (e.g. a lot of players dream of representing their country as kids). Some players also retire from international football earlier than club football as playing more games raises your chances of sustaining an injury.
One of the teams Wrexham will have played in the season they were relegated from the league would have been Brentford. While Wrexham have been stuck in the National League Brentford have climbed and are now sat tenth in the Premier League.
National federations are like states, UEFA CONCACAF AFC and other Continental federations are like the EU, FIFA Is the equivalent of a world governing body which does not exist in politics
The rules for international sides is residence, sort of. 90% of players choose to represent the country they are from, and if you play for 1 national team you cant switch, but in haalands case he was born in england but moved to norway when he was young, his father was norwegian but played for leeds
Newcastle gave Corey a fantastic welcoming gift
Still run by murderers
Haaland was born in England to Norwegian parents, so he could choose. but there are also a couple of people that could have chosen between 3-4 countries. If you have parents from different countries, were born In a third country but grew up in a fourth country, then you have a lot of choices
It’s really cool to hear how invested Corey got into Newcastle and football generally. If possible it would be really cool if you could watch the World Cup final together or at least the highlights of it
Corey doesn't know how lucky he is now that he discovered Newcastle AFTER the Saudi money
He’s definitely chose the right team that’s for sure
@@CJ-ih4oh if you support murderers, sure
Yeah I like this team now
Not quite after the Saudi "money" so far they've spent money stockpiled by Mike Ashley... currently it's a case of he's lucky he discovered Newcastle after Mike Ashley left and since Eddie Howe took over. We've yet to see Newcastle really tap into the Saudi spending power more or less because of FFP, but once they get the new sponsorship deals through the door and they secure Champions League football they'll be able to take more of a swing with their spending.
It only looks like they spent a lot since the takeover because they spent barely anything compared to the teams around them over the past 5 or 6 years and then just spent a chunk over two windows, yet to put that into perspective even with those two windows factored in, West Ham and Everton have spent more.
9 players that featured in that Spurs game were at Newcastle before the takeover, so let's also give Eddie Howe some credit in how his transformed existing players who didn't even look good enough to play Premier League football for long periods of time, let alone be part of a team that's sat in 3rd for a good period of the season.
As an arsenal fan spurs losing that bad has made me forget our poor run at the moment.
Edit: Weston now plays for leeds united.
They don’t like him at all however 😂
Normal football season for most European and south American clubs is August to May. Slight variation can occur. Some leagues pause for a few weeks in the winter. Some smaller northern European leagues run February to November to avoid the winter like Sweden Norway etc the MLS also runs similarly
Incorrect, in South America the season goes from March to December
It would be good to find a fan or someone else with deep football knowledge that would be available during these podcasts, on a discord call or something just listening in. You and Corey would talk just as you are now, and if you ever hit a brick wall or have a question about something you can't figure out you can buzz him in and ask then he can give you instant feedback as opposed to waiting for the comments to answer. Plus, comments don't always answer every pressing question you have.

One thing that even many lifelong football fans don't know is that added time is a "MINIMUM", so the ref has the minimum time to be added and he judges if any more needs to be added in addition to that
Ikr, it’s hilarious, every game when the additional time is announced they even say the word “minimum” 😂 I’m an Arsenal fan and the amount of people who called us lucky after the Bournemouth 3-2 game after we scored 1 minute over the added time yet Bournemouth time wasted for a whole minute right at the start of the added time
@@user-io8cm4dk1f same thing when Liverpool got the extra minutes against Newcastle and won last second and Newcastle's fans went into meltdown
It's worth saying top 4 is really important because it qualifies for Champions league which is massive money and the best football. Especially for Newcastle them getting top 4 this year would be an excellent season
Newcastle were sensational for the first 21 minutes, everything they touched turned to gold. Isaks goals to minutes played ratio is just shy of Haalands, and he has got a couple of years of development needed and hes going to be a beast. Joe Willock earned his nickname "Willochinio" with easily the best assist of the season, the transformation of Joelinton under Eddie Howe is incredible, Sean Longstaff is the glue holding the midfield together, Bruno Guimares would slip straight into any squad in the country right now. He could have played in Sir Bobbies Champions League squad. The really scarey thing is Newcastle are just 1 year into their turnaround, after the wreck and ruin of Mike Ashleys ownership. They are going to dominate, Cory picked a very good time to follow a very good club!
You speak only facts bro
No spurs were shit I would not read anything into this
If Chelsea and Liverpool were not so shit this season Newcastle wouldn’t stand a chance of champions Leicester football
@@ashleyknight455 Newcastle have performed like at home most of the season Newcastle we’re very good
@@ashleyknight455 ahaha are you joking of course they would
Stoppage time is decided based on how much the game was "stopped" in the first 90 minutes. After that, no time is added.
The ref can technically stop the game whenever he wants to, but it depends on what's going on. The ref might stop the game early if one team is getting spanked 6-1 for example or if a team is in a good attacking position and in possession of the ball he might let them keep going till it ends. The difference from the time he's expected to stop usually isn't over a minute.
Harry kane has interest from Manchester United and bayern Munich and his contract with Tottenham ends in a year.
This isn’t entirely correct. The ref has to let play go on for a minimum of x minutes. So no, the ref doesnt stop the game early even if its one sided.
Also there are times when the winning team or team playing for the draw, tries to stall the game by going down and acting injured during stoppage time. In those cases, the ref usually adds a few mins in addition to the stoppage time
for friendlies between seasons, top teams like united rarely play their A-side against someone like wrexham. It's the time to test the academy players, B-squad, helping fitness for players coming back from injury, etc
3:47 there was. His name is Sir Alex Ferguson. Let say Bill Belichick had similarities to SAF. SAF reign last for 26 or 27 years and he also created a dynasty for Manchester United from 90's to early 2010's in English football
Yeah for real Fergie is the reason Utd are the team even people who hate football know.
Another one that should be mentioned is Alan Curbishley, 15 years at Charlton and got them from lower end of the 2nd tier to top 10 premier league regularly, after he left (he left, didn't get sacked) they collapsed and now sit in the 3rd tier
This was the comment I was looking for. Also looking for a correction on Pep going from Barça to ManCity skipping the years at Bayern and the titles there.
20 years of refs in his back pocket
Sorry there isn't a "derby weekend" where they put rivalry games on over the same weekend. Sometimes it may line up with a couple of big derbies on a weekend but it's not intentional. The police would simply not allow them to do such a thing anyway haha.
Gotcha, I heard someone say that it was derby weekend but they could have just been talking about a specific scheduling quirk
@@lukessportsacademy they do that in the mls I think. LA Galaxy vs LAFC. Houston Dynamo vs FC Dallas. Portland vs Seattle. Nycfc vs New York Red Bulls. Etc. And they call it rivalry week.
It's fun to see how Corey is falling in love with this sport as this episodes pass. Greetings from Argentina!
Love these exchange videos. Please keep 'hem coming 🙏
You definitely need a joint Q&A style stream where you guys ask the viewers about issues you're unsure of about any topic in football as we can help a lot with administrative issues (when the season is played and the role of FIFA) as well as questions about the actual game itself e.g clubs history, roles of people in a club. Really enjoying your stuff :)
With choosing a team, if you’re stuck between 2 then I don’t think either are for you, like Corey he just stumbled into it and all of a sudden, he’s a Newcastle fan. Just enjoy the games and you’ll know when you’ve found your team.
If you don't find yourself drawn to your local team, that's definitely the way to do it. Thats why I work with Londoners who support Man United and Geordies who support Liverpool. A lot more fun that way.
Man sometimes I wish I wa there to solve some of these questions haha.
Nationalities in football and most sports can get complicated, but it all makes sense now that we have rules and regulations.
The most important rule is, once you play 1 minute in an official (not friendly) match for a country, your are tied for life. You made your choice and you can't change represented countries anymore.
Not true here in concacaf(and I’m pretty sure everywhere bc fifa is the governing body)you have to make 3 official fifa appearances before being cap tied to country
“Football Crash Course” would be my name for the pod since you got into the sport later than most
Tbh that's how people become football fans: they cheer for the team that is winning.
When the wins stop coming, but they stuck with the club, that's when you know that you're a fan.
Just ask most liverpool fans, Istanbul is gotta be there somewhere. Barcelona fan? Ronaldinho / messi era. United? Golden generation or 99 treble. Etc.
I'm not sure if anyone has explained this to you but here goes:
Playoffs DO exist in Association Football
In fact, in the Wrexham documentary part of this process is documented.
In the Premier League you get like 5 european tournament spots for the top 5
The English League cup winner also gets a spot in the european draw
If an English team wins one of the european cups they can also get a free ticket to the european competition for the following season.
3 teams at the bottom are relegated to the Championship (tier 2)
In the Championship, 1st and 2nd are auto-promoted to the Premier League
Following teams 3-6th or 3-8th depending on the division then compete for a final promotion place in a playoff series.
In the National League (tier 5) Wrexham were faced with only 1st place gets promoted then 1 other team promoted via playoff 2nd-7th. Thankfully they came first so guaranteed promotion this season.
FA Cup and English League Cup are both straight knockout tournaments.
European competition is Group Stage followed by Knockout Stage, the entire competition is filled with teams based on the previous years results so it sometimes becomes a clown fiesta like Sevilla are like 12th in La Liga at the moment but just knocked Man Utd who are like top 5 in Premier League this season out of Uefa cup.
Sevilla obviously placed well last year but this season they've been trash domestically but still get a 'cup run' (playoff run) in european competition.

Sorry for the long post :D

48:00 The seasons are different based on the continents. In Europe, the season runs from late August to late May so it's really just two months off for players. It's in that window that these international tournaments like the world cup and the euros are usually scheduled.
As for the question of long term coaches in the Premier League who are like Bill Belichick… there is only really 2, Alex Ferguson at Man Utd for 26 years and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal for 22 years. In the modern era of football coaches/managers usually only spend 1-2 years at any one club. For perspective, in the top 4 divisions in England (92 teams) there are only 6 managers who’s tenure is 4years or more.
Great video lads. So much to comment on, but I’ll limit it to a few points.
Being at St James’ Park on Sunday, it was a crazy first 21 minutes. There was definitely a feeling of ‘what on earth or we witnessing?’. I can’t think of a time where I’ve seen anyone (let alone Newcastle) take a team apart so quickly!
Luke, choose your team carefully but don’t just pick it on how good a team is at that time. Things change. A team that is terrible can quickly become a team that is great (Newcastle is a prime example. 18 months ago we were dreadful!) and vice versa. There needs to be a deep connection there (though I think it’s easy to say that as someone who supports their home town club).
The Football season in most of Europe runs from August through to the following May.
‘Derbies’ are specifically local or regional rivalries. Occasionally you might get a couple of different derbies occurring in the same round of fixtures, but there isn’t really a situation where loads of derbies are played at the same time.
As strange as it may seem, the US actually has the oldest footballing history of any country outside of the British Isles. I’d recommend a book called ‘Soccer In A Football World’ by David Wangerin which is an excellent book about the history of football in the US.
If Corey has any questions re Newcastle in his journey learning about the club and supporting us, by all means drop me a line.
Thanks for the book recommendation for us research minded folks 🙏
The added time is a minimum. The ref can add more time for things like subs, injuries, or time wasting.
The coach in UK called manager because they are more involved than just coaching like they have more right to influence players transfer or other thing outside the dressing room. The best example was former man united manager Alex Ferguson and former arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Being from San Diego and grown up a suffering Chargers fan, Tottenham Hotspur, to me, reminds me of the English version of the Chargers, without a doubt. Talented players and should be a good team, but consistently find new ways to lose and humiliate themselves 😂
Turns out this is a fun conversation to listen to. You're not just talking about football but also football. I mean, having someone talking about football with southern accent is the best part. Because most of football talkshow speak with their British accent. And we are exchanging information from this. And one thing you can't be missed. You need to watch Manchester City vs Arsenal game. Because this game will become championship game for this season. Kick off maybe on 2 or 3 PM Dallas time. Also you have to tackled Champions League semifinals on the next episode.
some context to the Tottenham loss is needed. The owner called Levi has spent million on a new stadium but has no love for football so over the past couple years he has let the spurs team go downhill. He wont buy the players we need because he is tight with money even when previous managers have asked for them and the 6-1 was a reflection of how much frustration us Tottenham fans have. We want to win stuff and hopefully we will however we will never do it without new ownership. The players gave up before the Newcastle match had even started and that shows in the apologies and refunds the players personally gave. Tottenham isnt about winning, its about being a family who have ups and downs together
You could think of the champions league as the playoffs for all of Europe. top 4 teams get invited to a knockout tournament it’s just the regular league has its own winner
Added time isnt accurate, its up to the ref. And if there is a delay after the added minutes were declared they can add more.
Btw Pep went to Bayern after Barca, he joined city after Bayern
The other half of the comment I was looking for. Thank you!
this is kinda random, and i dont know if you guys know this: In football you dont trade players (you can, but dont happen often) like in the nba and nfl. But in football a club buys and sells their players to and of other clubs. Doesn’t matter if the club you buying from is in your own leaque or in a other counrty. So you pay a money fee to the club you get the player from. So big clubs with a lot of money can buy the good players from the poorer clubs. That happened to leicester city, all their good players went to other clubs after their championschip season.
They call it the Managerial Merry-go-round with the hirings and firings. There have been managers who have been at clubs decades, Arsenal Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson being named that come to mind.
In football nobody cares if you’re runner-up you either win or are forgotten especially club football
Nice to see a Magpie abroad! Howay the lads! You should do a video on Newcastle's all time GOAT Alan Shearer. What a striker. Regarding stoppage time and it taking longer than the given number, if any stoppages occur during stoppage time, that can also be taken into account by the referee.
In the two-team PL title race in 2016, Tottenham famously finished third 😂
47:57 summer is the off season, every league start and end their league at slightly different times...but, for the top leagues in Europe, it is mostly from September to May and depending on the leagues and how many clubs are playing in said league, there can be a various amount of games to be played, for example, in both the Premier league and Serie A, only for the league (so not for the cups or for the Uefa tournaments) there are 38 matches to be played in a season.
The top two "one-club-managers" are imo Arsene Wenger who managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018, and the greatest manager of all time sir Alex Ferguson who managed Manchester United from 1986 to 2013. Wenger won 3 Premier Leagues, one of which where they went undefeated in 03/04, 7 FA Cups and 7 Charity/Community Shields, 2 Doubles (winning the domestic cup and the domestic league the same year) in 97/98 and 01/02 (both FA Cup+Premier League). Fergie won 13 Premier Leagues, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 8 Charity/Community Shields, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Super cup, and 1 FIFA World Club Championship, 3 Doubles in 93/94 (FA Cup+Premier League), 95/96 (FA Cup+Premier League), 09/10 (League Cup+Premier League), and the Treble (winning a domestic cup, the domestic league, and the Champions League in the same season) in 98/99. Not to mention what sir Alex did with Aberdeen before he went to United, breaking up the domination of Rangers and Celtic in the Scottish Premier League, winning 3 Scottish Premier Leagues, 4 Scottish Cups, 1 Drybrough Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup, and 1 European Super Cup, doing 1 Double in 83/84.
Such a great vid you too, would love you to carry on doing these long format chat videos :)))
stoppage time consists out of player exchanges, showing cards, injury treatments, VAR times, or a little beef amongst players..etc... basically everything which is stopping the game within the official 90 minutes and those lost time got added at the end...
The ref is wearing on his wrist a stopwatch and he stops the watch when ever the game got interrupted for longer than just few seconds and short before the offical 90 minutes are over - he looks at his watch and adds that amount of time which is left on his stopwatch for having actual 90 minutes game time......and "Yes" lost time during the stoppage time will be added as well...the shown up stoppage time is not absolute...because injuries can happen, the VAR can happen, everything which is interrupting the game can happen in the stoppage time as well obviously..and that will be added as well in order to get the actual 90 minutes game time.
Those trophies you were looking at for Tottenham are deceiving. They haven't won anything in the past 15 years, those titles were back in the mid 1900's
suggestion: the "let's guess how the football world works podcast" 😁🤣
I love watching these podcasts. Keep it up!
Seasons go throguh two years, the one we are in is 2022/23, it starts in August and ends in May, with a pause in January. June, July, August it's usually when there's a pause for national teams (World cup every 4 years, EUROs, Copa America etc). Also, there's transfer windows, one in January and one from June 30th to September 1st, when you can buy, sell and loan players
other random fact: in the premier leaque the top 4 clubs qualify for the champions leaque next season, spot 5 and the winner of the FA cub qualify for the europa leaque(lesser version of the champions leaque), spots 6 and 7 are qualifing for the conference leaque(the lesser version of the europa leaque) and place 18, 19 and 20 are getting relegated. So you have three international club toornaments: champions leaque, europa leaque and the conference leaque.
Loving the new camera angles. Really give a sitcom feel to the podcast
So as an American, I found the EPL format of crowning a champion more "fair" ... more a determinate of who was actually the best team of the league over a long season (August to May). The schedule has every team playing each other home and away, so you do not get an advantage by avoiding certain divisions (NFL) or teams within your conference (College Football). Moreover, a wild card team can get hot at the end of a season and win four games, become champion and yet they were mediocre over the full season, which is really a random outcome.
We have that in every league in football, while in cup competition like cls, world cups, euro, copa etc you have only 6-7 important game that matters, so many team in a calendar does very well in 38 game league but not well in cup games and vice versa. few team in history has won league, int.cup competition, home cup competition which we say treble in same season.
I don't get why americans dont have a league system can someone explain that to me why is the NFL not every team playing home and away?
That can still happen in non leauge play offs, just look at wrexham last year losing out to grimsby.
Since Corey is one of us now, he should know if he ever watches Sunderland til i die he has to root against Sunderland and laugh at them as they’re rivals with Newcastle
1-0 down, 4-1 up Albert luque wrapped it up 🖤🤍
As a Southampton fan I can say I would love to see a ham derby
When bro asked if tottenham has won tje world cup i burst out laughing, love these videos lads keep them coming ❤
Talking about Tottenham and Man Utd so much you should check out Teddy Sherringham great player
In addition, Gareth Bale was insanely good for Tottenham and Man Utd wanted him for big dollars but he wanted to leave for Madrid for a record fee €100mil or something like that
Bit of a tragic career story he has but also incredible player on a good day
Re: playoffs, yes no playoffs in the Premier league but every league below it does have a playoff to decide the final promotion place in each league, normally between 4 teams, it's semi finals over 2 legs and a final, played at Wembley, Nottingham Forest won the playoff final last season to go to the Premier league and these games are often the most dramatic, as whole seasons are on the line
Added/stoppage time is the minimum that goes up on the board. The 4th official keeps track of stoppages
23:50 That's the point, why should you "screw the rest of the season"??? There's insane work that goes behind winning a league, and it can be just as exciting as your playoffs sometimes. Last year, for example, the league came down to the last day, and the two teams were playing at the same time, not knowing what the other is doing. Or 2012, when City won the league in the last minute of the last day.
If any clubs finish with the same number of points, their position in the Premier League table is determined by goal difference, then the number of goals scored, then the team who collected the most points in the head-to-head matches, then who scored most away goals in the head-to-head.
In regards to added time, if a team is attacking the ref will continue after the allowed time so long as the ball is still in play and it’s a clear and obvious attack
The ham bowl 😂😂

There's a an expression that's been coined in recently "Spursy " which means blowing it or bottling like Spurs. You guys should watch Oozing Expressions for his match day reaction.
There was a coach named sir alex Ferguson who was the manager pf Manchester United over 20 years maybe on of the biggest legends in football
On Derbies - there are loads of derbies. Some are regional such as east Anglian derby, Norwich City vs Ipswich Town), some are local (like the North London Derby, Arsenal vs Tottenham). There are great rivalries, like Arsenal vs Man Utd, that are not derbies. So an American sports equivalent say in the NBA, Knicks vs Nets and Lakers vs Clippers would be a local derby, and Heat vs Magic would be a regional ‘Florida derby’.
It's really hard for Harry Kane. He has been with Tottenham Hotspur since 2004 when he was 9 years old.
really digging the podcast style videos
I love your content, it's nice to see guys discovering a game i love since little kid. I'm happy for you !
Here are some comments in reaction to some questions you had and some things you said.
In european football as Luke said there are multiple competitions that are played at the same time during a season. A classic season begin in august generally and end in may or june. There are a few interruption in between by international break during the season (one week at a time in general, it's a that moment that international team play their qualification game for the world cup for example).
During the season the team compet in the following competition (for the biggest club) :
- The national championship (Premier league, liga etc.)
- The national cup (in some country there is 2 kind of national cup ) (FA cup, copa del rey etc.)
- The europeans championships ( for those how qualify only ; The champions league, Europa league, conference league)
- A few small competition that are generally played in a few matches that are called the supercup (those are a bit less important but count as a title).
- The club world cup is a competition that regroup the winners (and sommes runner-up etc.) frome the different continental championship (european champions league, copa libertadores etc.).
The trebel that you mention is winning : your national league, your national cup and the champions league.
If we had to make a hierarchy this would probably be the order of importance :
- The champions league (It’s the biggest competition and most prestigious in club football)
- The national league (the 5 biggest national league are the premier league, La liga, la serie A, the Bundesliga and ligue 1 event tho historically and in general i think the first 3 are the 3 biggest).
- The national cup
- The others smallest titlle i mention. As i said in term of of prestige the world cup is of course the biggest competition.
Then there are international trophy :
- World cup
- Euro, copa america, CAN etc.
These are maybe the most prestigious and watched competition (especially the world cup) because winning with your country is something elsea and the level is of course every good but as they are not use to play together like in club i think it’s a bit behind the club football in term of level and The champions league is in term of pure level the biggest competition.
PS : Sorry if my english is not perfect, not my first language.
World cup was played in the winter 2010 South Africa
COYS! This is the life of a Spurs fan, welcome 🤣
As a lifelong Newcastle fan we welcome you with open arms Cory :)
I love this presentation.
Great to watch
All Americans for all teams and players have a cowboys comparison, a browns comparison and a labron comparison.
Love how Corey is a Newcastle fan ❤❤
Luke if you see this comment, as a Spurs fan, it isn't often when a newbie football fan decides to support the Spurs. It might be tough to be a spurs fan, but someday when we do win a trophy, it would be the greatest day of our lives.
We also have a new manager named Ange Postecoglou, and he might be the perfect manager for us to finally get back on track. I recommend you react to a video by the channel FourFourTwo that details Postecoglou's insane rise to the Premier League and his tremendous winning mentality.
Good luck with the podcast guys. The end of the season is going to be insanely tense as 5 big clubs have the potential to go down (of course only 3 will) in the Premier League.
DONT SUPPORT SPURS, YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON.
FIFA is the governing body for the whole world. There are other governing bodies over the continents, UEFA is Europe, CONCACAF is North America, Central America and the Caribbean... etc. Then there is a football association in every country. For example the English Football Association is therefore under UEFA.
The governing bodies all have their own competition, UEFA European Championship for example. They also host qualification rounds for the World Cup.
Dude I just found your channel and I love it. I'm an Irish guy who is literally going through the reverse of you guys. I'm a Chelsea fan and our season has been our worst in like 3 decades so I was like I need another sport to take my mind off this, started watching NFL and can't lie I'm now Hooked. Iv thrown my lot in with the Buffalo Bills, the way Josh Allen throws that ball does it for me. I do have a soft spot for the Ravens though.
The main thing about Tottenham firing their manager is because they're at risk of dropping out of the Champions League or Europa League qualification places. Which would be a big financial hit. As an Aston Villa fan, I'm hoping that this happens though, because we are trying to take their place.
30:20 i will try to explain: So, if u are born like he said, in Italy, and move on to Germany as a little boy, u can choose the nationality and represent Germany. Something that we call "naturalization". Like Jorginho, (player of Arsenal), he is brazilian, but he move on to Italy, and choose to play for Italy, cuz Italy gave him opportunities that for the Brazilian team he would not have. in case he has both passports, but if I'm not mistaken, after a limit of matches, you can't go back and want the other national team.
Great conversation!
I enjoy the conversational style of the podcast where Corey and you discuss football, and it is one of my favorites. However, I have a suggestion that I think could make it even better. It would be great if you could cover the Champions League more, as it is the most significant competition in Europe, and we are now approaching the semifinals. It seems a bit odd that you are not giving it more attention.
Ha, you quoted me! 😎 I sounded sooo wise! 🤣
I think you should DEFINITELY go full-ham and call your podcast PODDINGHAM SPORTS-TALK 😂.
😂😂😂
Great podcast loved it
Sir Alex Ferguson is the greatest Manager ever The G.O.A.T and he stayed at Manchester united for almost 3 decades while winning 13 premier league titles the most ever by anyone 2 Champions League and lots of other cups
It is overall cheaper to fire the manager than change the players so firing managers is common.
Also Alex Ferguson was the manager of Man Utd from 1986 to 2013.
Also european cup is the champions league which Spurs have never won. They have won the Cup winners cup which is now defunct.
Okay so here is how national teams work. You can play for a national team if you have citizenship there or you have had relatives from there. So it is not in opposition to each other. All that happens is that we have breaks in the season where national teams play their qualification matches.
😂 the video I’ve been waiting for.
44:00 there are national federations, that are the ones in charge of every league (premier League has is own federation, La liga in Spain have their own separate one, Italy has one etc etc).
Then there is the continental federations who are a conglomerate of every national federations, that runs both international club football and national team tournaments, for exmaple UEFA is the one in charge of Europe and it is the governing body that organize and regulate tournaments like the Champions League or the Euro for example.
And then there is FIFA, the all encompassing international governing body for football, the one who regulate world football and that it consist of every continental federation and that it is in charge of the World Cup.
Hey luke, hats off to you if you do choose spurs as your team to suppport.
Seasons are usually August to May, in England and most big leagues, some slight differences depending on country.
Dallas cowboys are more like Manchester United, great in the 90s but only competitive since then
Sir Alex Ferguson managed Manchester United from 1986-2013.
Arsène Wenger managed Arsenal from 1996-2018.
Pep Guardiola managed Bayern Munich after he managed Barcelona from 2013-2016, and has been managing Manchester City since.
Football is in the Olympics.
Did you hear about the 6 club Premier League pre-season tournament happening in the USA?
It’s Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Brentford, Aston Villa & Fulham
It’s set to happen in July
Yeah we’re gonna try to go
Kane is stuck at Tottenham cause his agent is his dumb ass brother and got Harry tied into a long term deal he couldn’t really get out of. He kinda tried to force a move away a couple of years ago but had absolutely no leverage to make it work.
Many players are eligible for more than one country; A National Team may call up an eligible player but the player can turn this down if they wish to play for another Nation. Once the player plays in one competitive game (even as an 89th minute substitute) for a National team they cannot swap.
Plenty of English players have declared for other countries once it became clear that they would never be selected for England. Famously the 1990 Ireland World Cup Squad only had 6 Irish born players in the team, 13 were born in England, 2 Scotland and 1 Wales. To qualify as Irish only one grand parent had to be born in Ireland (or one parent). This lead to accusations that Ireland were really the England B-Team (Reserves). However the Squad were very successful, reaching the Quarter finals and this boosted the popularity of the Sport in Ireland.
England similarly played Owen Hargreaves on the basis of his ancestry. Owen Hargreaves was born in Canada to a Welsh mother and English father, and moved to Germany at 16 to play for Bayern Munich. Due to his long term residency in Germany he would have been eligible to play for Germany in the future; but in 2001 he accepted a call up to England, turning down both Canada and Wales, and a potential possible eligibility for Germany in the future
Throughout the season, youll see 1-2 week breaks across all leagues for when players are called up to their intl. teams to play. Sometimes they play friendlies, sometimes they play qualification games for big tournaments. Players arent required to join up with their international teams, but most players go anyway (e.g. a lot of players dream of representing their country as kids). Some players also retire from international football earlier than club football as playing more games raises your chances of sustaining an injury.
One of the teams Wrexham will have played in the season they were relegated from the league would have been Brentford. While Wrexham have been stuck in the National League Brentford have climbed and are now sat tenth in the Premier League.
National federations are like states, UEFA CONCACAF AFC and other Continental federations are like the EU, FIFA Is the equivalent of a world governing body which does not exist in politics
Newcastle are going to US for preseason as well. Might Corey check that ;)
Newcastle fan here, welcome corey
Corey watch some Alan shearer highlights. Also pod on the Tyne is a good nufc podcast to keep up to date with things
The rules for international sides is residence, sort of.
90% of players choose to represent the country they are from, and if you play for 1 national team you cant switch, but in haalands case he was born in england but moved to norway when he was young, his father was norwegian but played for leeds
