My team has never reached the Premier League, although we have been very close to reaching it a few times. So for 30+ years of following my team we have moved up and down many times between the 4th and 2nd divisions, but you still continue to support them and travel all over the country for away games because they are part of you. It's in your heart.
I was going to guess Barnsley but I have a sneaky feeling that they did have a season in the PL in the 90's? Errrrrr...Bristol City? I know they've been in the top flight but never the PL as far as I know?
@@unomas4250 I was going to say them!!! That was my next guess. I live in Plymouth (not an Argyle fan though) and the locals are NOT happy with your club lol.
Yes clubs usually take a huge financial hit from being relegated. The second division (in England at least) is also a very different proposition. More games played and it’s a much more physical league. Some teams go down to the second division and stay there for decades, some go down and come right back up, and some can slip down 3 divisions in 5 years. I’ve even seen teams that you’d expect to come right back up be stuck in the second division for 5 years or so. And yea you’ll see a lot of tears when a team gets relegated, that’s why people are so connected to their clubs, you really go through stuff.
As you may imagine it's even worse outside of England, since a great number of championship team still make more money than a great majority of teams in big leagues around Europe. Most of the times getting relegated its the start of the end for a lot of teams
To make it simple a soccer field is compareble to a american football one in terms of size. I know ive seen a few MLS teams play on football arenas, you just need to paint some new lines.
@@ImDembe It's close but I played soccer in US and a soccer field is a good bit wider and its as long as a football field but counting the endzones so I guess the playable field is longer. I used to hate playing on football fields.
My team in Mexico (Leon) stayed relegated for 10 years. When they finally came back to the 1st division they won back to back championships. This relegation thing is what makes soccer so much more exciting than other sports
Last games of the season are an absolut thriller when teams involved try to avoid relegation. Usually in every league, 3-4 teams have to fight till the last minute of the last game to stay in the league. It's often quite more entertaining than title fight, which are usually decided 3-4 games before the league ends. For a lot of teams, avoiding relegation is like winning a title. It's the beauty of this sport, it's not just a matter of winning titles, it's something bigger than that. Every game and detail counts
Love Czech League. Last games are much more like politial drama, unexpected results, upsets..Is like ... you know these types of "accidents" or "luck" when you lose with team who desperately needs a win
Not to mention the middle of the table teams have something to fight for two, the only thing this video forgot to mention are the qualification spots for the Champions and Europa Leagues. The way its set up, every team is fighting for something almost the entire season. Every game counts.
Winning all three competitions is called winning the Treble. That puts your squad down in history as one of the greatest, no doubt. Teams that done that in recent history: Man Utd '98-'99 Inter Milan '09-'10 Bayern Munich '12-'13 and '19-'20 Barcelona '08-'09 and '14-'15
The really difult things is winning the Champions League 3 times in a row, only ONE team have ever done in the current formant Real Madrid. including the old format sin the 1950, there have been 4 teams that won 3 europeans champions in a Row Ajax, 3 in a row (one time) Bayer Munich 3 in a row (one time ) Real Madrid with 5 times in a row, and then 3 rimes in a row ( total 4 times)
My team got relegated from the Premier League in 2000, and have never managed to make it back since. Yes, it is crippling financially and you tend to see less and less people showing up for games. It's rough.
The domestic cup competitions are so great. Imagine if your local pickup basketball team could play against the Lakers. And once in a while, these random local amateur teams would actually beat a professional team (usually a G league type of team, but still). Relegation is also just great. No playing for draft picks. No benching your best players to avoid injury. Every player is fighting for their lives. Usually in their contract they will have clauses that make them take a pay cut if the team is relegated, so these guys are playing to keep food on the table for themselves! You want to keep that sweet car you just bought? Want to keep paying the mortgage on your new house? Better not get relegated!
Depends on a country/league, but there are many divisions. I come from Poland, so I will give you example from my country. We have 8/9 divisions. Divisions 1-3 are called central divisions, but starting with 4th division, there are groups in that division. Ex. in 4th division there are 4 groups, more in 5th etc. They are called then regional divisions, where regional associations decide upon groups and they go down to 8th division with some 9th divisions in some county-equivalents. And yes, as long as you do well enough you can progress from 8th division up to 1st. It is almost impossible though, because you would need a lot of money, and lower divisions are purely amatoure clubs. Yes, you can gather 11 friends, one coach, make some shirts, decide upon your colours, symbols, organize yourself a pitch (you could even make a deal with local school for that), send all required documents to your local football association, and there you go - you have an official team in official league.
The financial loss is very severe. E.g. Schalke 04 is a German Club that recently got relegated. To compensate for that loss they had to shut down or sell other divisions of their "Franchise" a.k.a. teams playing in other sports. They even sold their eSports division so they could survive financially
Football is quite easy to understand. Play to win. Full stop. The more a team wins, the more points they accumulate. Full stop. Funding comes from national football associations where, winning trophies result in receiving funds from the league. Same when there are European/African/Asian/South American tournaments.
In America ppl grow up being told that soccer is a women’s sport or for Mexicans very few areas play soccer in USA competitively besides California and east coast things are changing now but I doubt Americans who love american football will call “sissy ball” football. I grew up playing futbol w Mexicans and Latinos in California but everyone besides the Latino community no one cares for it much
Goddamn, give it a rest. If Americans didn’t call it soccer when talking to other Americans, it’d be easy to confuse the two. Cut the pretentious bullshit
Here in Brazil we have a different calendar, we are in the end of the season now, if you look at the table we still have 3 games to play, my team (Ceará) is now fighting for a spot at Libertadores next year, South American version of Champions League, and we have the same amount of points of another team, about 5 teams are close in the table fighting to be in top 8 (to play this competition), also, this year one of the biggest teams in the country is fighting relegation, they're rich, they have great players like Douglas Costa and Rafinha (former Bayern Munch players) but they're 18th place and almost relegated, this is crazy, alsto 2 former league champions are in the zone for relegation and the reason why this sport is so amazing!
Football pitch is waaay bigger but the thing is that in basketball you have both teams running up and down the whole time, whereas in football, players that are away from the ball can be more static. But a basketball match only lasts the half of a football match and there is a constant rotation of the playes that play. You should also watch a video that discribes the actual rules of a match MAD LOVE FROM GREECE BROTHERS
Footballers run much further in a game than in basketball, around 10k per match. A surprising amount of that is spent sprinting, an awful lot of it isn't noticed because it is off the ball and comes to nothing (the ball isn't passed to them, for example)
These are some of the ways European teams make money (I will not list everything): --> Members - Fans that pay a monthly fee to support the team; --> Selling players; --> Playing the Uefa Champions League --> Sponsorship from brands; --> TV rights paid by the league; The last two play a huge role in relegation. Brands want visibility, so if you drop to a minor league, even if they keep the sponsorship they will renegotiate the contract to pay you less money. Second division has less TV time and interest, you will get less money to play on that league. Oh, yes. Don't forget about the tickets... your stadium seats will have less value as well.
Relegation is definitely a BIG hit for clubs, but if the institution is stable and intelligent, the club can survive and fight to get back to 1st division. Some clubs just don't have that luck
Goals scored or goal difference are used as tie breaker in case of teams with the same points. In some cases even the games between the teams involved are used as tiebreakers.
Love to see you Guys learn more about the sport. So please react to: A clueless Americans guide to the premier Leaque. That is the most populair Leaque (Engeland) in football besides the champions league. It is a video to help you pick a premier Leaque team. You have Barcelona and your brother have Real Madrid in Spain. Now let’s see witch English teams you gonna pick. Love from Amsterdam!
One extra point for the german Bundeliga (don't know if it's the same in other countries), the third last from the upper division and the third best from the lower division don't move up and down right away but have a seperate relegation match to determine which of the two teams gets to either move up or stay in the upper division.
The best thing about the relegation and promotion system in the League's is it gives the 2nd division teams a chance to generate more talent from the youth players. The league is always exciting every start of the season because of the newly promoting teams/players/managers.. Not to mention the Cup games and Champions League games in between. System like this have allowed teams that have come from the very bottom division, earn promotion and even win the the top flight league. Nottingham Forrest are a good example, In 1978 they earned promotion and the very first season won the league. One of the rare few that have managed to accomplish that to this day.
My hometown team is sort of a fallen giant. Mostly played in the 2nd division when I was a kid, but then, we reached the top league again around 10 years ago, and around 5 years later we won it all. Extremely cathartic.
I enjoyed your reaction, my friends though, in England, which boasts the world#s greatest football league which is The Premier League, the difference each year between being in the Top 2 Divisions is not $40,000,000 but $240,000,000 and there is also another domestic English Cup each season called The League Cup which is also played midweek so the very best 7 or 8 teams could be involved in the later stages of 4 competitions so, occasionally, rest their players. In England, there are 4 Divisions in the League involving 92 independent Clubs/Teams and 11 divisions altogether in the Football League Pyramid. THere are over 7,000 teams in The Country :)
Relegation gets super exiting, almost as exciting as watching teams trying to win the division because the bottom teams are trying their best to finish above that line.
Relegation makes the football league system more of a meritocracy. In theory, a new football club can join an amateur league and over many years, gradually fight their way up, through promotion, to higher and higher leagues and eventually become overall champions. The reality is not as simple as this, of course but at least the possibility exists. For the leagues below the top division, fighting for promotion and to escape relegation is every bit as exciting as the competition in the top division. Plus, the leagues are different every year.
Following up what you raise at 10:40, occasionally a team does win the league, cup, and champions league, and that’s known as a treble. Any team that does that is always remembered
The 3 points thing: well in soccer ties are relatively common, and actually, just defending is much easier. At the start of the game you're 0-0 and it's not uncommon that's also the result at the end. You can see this in some combat sports, where fighters must attack or they get a penalty for being too passive. In soccer, the same result you get by awarding a win with 3 points. This way a team (usually the strongest) is motivated in risking and being on the attack. Relegations: yes being relegated can usually be a huge financial hit, due to lower attendances, TV rights, and also less income from sponsors for being in a lower league. That said, life in a lower league is easier, you can sell a few players, reduce the total salary cost, and still have a team strong enough to attempt a promotion back to the upper league. A country has as many divisions as necessary to accomodate for the pro teams it has, which can be a large number, say in Italy. There used to be semi-pro division below pro divisions, and amateurs divisions below that, but today it's pro or amateurs (players who don't get a salary for playing). Also, the player market is open. Time restricted, but no team gets to pick first. And yes some teams managed to win their national top league, their national cup, and the Champion League the same year. Since you have to end very high in standings to qualify for the Champion League, there's also a sister tournament for runner ups (teams that barely missed the CL qualification). It's still a quite prestigious trophy, the Europa League. Just for fun (although there's technically a trophy) the CL winner and the EL winner have a match to see who's the best.
Regarding divisions - In Denmark we have the Superleague (top division), league (curently Nordicbet league), 2nd division and 3rd division, these 4 leagues make up the pro leagues. below 3rd division we have 7 more leagues going from series, and the series 1 to 6. Series 4, 5 and 6 are mostly so called "beer leagues" as are some series 2 teams :)
Well over 1 BILLION people watched Manchester United v Liverpool recently, Worldwide. In England, THe Top 4 Teams THIS season ending in May 2022 will enter NEXT season's Champions League. The teams who finish 5th/6th/7th play in the Secondary Europa League which involves even more games than The Champions League and longer journeys as the best European teams are in West and Southern Europe so if you are an English team it will only be a 2 or 3-hour flight. The League started in 1885 so 136 years ago. Teams need big squads as the very best teams could be contesting all 4 trophies being The Premier English League,F A Cup, League Cup, and Champions Cup. The WORLD CUP is every 4 years for COUNTRIES NOT individual Clubs/teams.:)
Quite accurate but simplified. In each countries, there are usually from 3 to 6 levels for professional teams. Under them, there are the amateurs divisions but if they can do well they can climb on the ladders but at some points the club MUST get a professional status or they're blocked and can't get promoted. About relegation, if a promoted club is also kicked out for any reason (usually financial...), it's forbid to be promoted and one of the relegated team from the higher level is saved and stays in the top league. more and more, instead of the three relegated teams, now the bottom two are relegated and the third gets a last chance to stay on a play off match, usually against the 3rd of the lower league. About the football season, it's usually august-may except for Scandinavia and the countries on the Russian area where they play between march and October for climatic reason.
05:14 yes teams that gets relegated takes a hit financially sponsors tv rights and such in some cases even your club talents jump ship and ask for a transfer
During league games, you really don't have your country on your back. That's for International games and tournaments e.g the Dream Team consists of American players only, who play in different NBA franchises. During international basketball tournaments, Giannis plays for greece e.t.c
There´s a few teams that won all in one year!!! Bayern, Barcelona, Ajax (that I remember). They won the League, The Cup and the SuperCup (winner of the League vs winner of the Cup) in their countries, then won de Champions League and the ReCup in Europe (winner of the Champions vs winner of the Europa Legaue is another tournament like champions) and in december won the wolrd cup of clubs, the winners of the all continents face each other in a short tournament.
I'm from the North East of England and football is in our blood. I have seen us move stadium, gain promotion to the Premier League, lose cup finals and get relegated. I have seen us bounce back to the Premier League, get to a final of a European competition and just about everything else you can see as a fan. We have a chairman from our town who got involved in the club when it was about to go out of business in the 80's and he is still owner to this day. Football is something very special not only in England but across Europe.
My team is Italian so Serie A, it’s called A.C. Monza and in 2016 it was in Serie D, the 4th division, in 2017 it got promoted in Serie C and became a professional team, 3 years later p, in 2019 there was a miracle, we entered the Serie B after almost 10 years and we had a chant “non andremo mai in Serie A” LAST YEAR, AFTER 111 YEARS OF HISTORY, WE GOT PROMOTED IN SERIE A FOR THE FIRST TIME, now it’s 10th and it’s the first club of my zone (Brianza) to reach the Serie A, we got so good that the mister told that we could finish in the Conference league. In 6 years we achieved everything, sure, our trophies aren’t good but we’re in Serie A FORZA MONZA ALEEEEEE
In the cup, the pro teams get a bye for a few rounds, and they tend to send their 2nd and 3rd stringers to play the first rounds. Every year there is always some pro team that didn't take the opening rounds seriously enough.
Even de middle table teams play to enter other tourneys like the Europe League and also the champions of the national cups play against the league winners for the super cup and bragging rigths (and money). The cup´s winner also enter Europe League
Oh man don’t get me start at this. So I’m gonna use German football for example because I’m from Germany and I know the most about the German leagues. So there is professional football. In Germany there are 3 professional leagues. 1st, 2nd and 3rd division. (Sometimes it’s different, for example England has 4 professional leagues). After the 3 professional leagues there come like “regional leagues”. Leagues which you only play against teams from your Region not from the whole nation. So there are more leagues at the same stage. In 4th division in Germany there are 5 leagues, so the German map gets split in 5 parts and every of these parts has his own league. The winners of these 5 leagues fight in a weird relegation system with a play off game for the spots in the third league. After the 5x 4th leagues there comes the 5th league, 6th league, 7th league, 8th league, etc. The regional parts become smaller as lower the division. So when you play in a very very low league you’re probably gonna play against teams just from your city. In Germany there are. Altogether there are over 2000 leagues just in Germany with over 30000 clubs. But at some point in the lowest leagues you literally just ply for fun. There probably gonna play 40 year old fat men which are drunk while playing. In these low leagues they don’t have real training aswell and if they don’t want to play they just don’t arrive to the game. So it’s very very unprofessional. Looking at the money: if you play in the 1st league in Germany the possibility to become a millionaire aren’t that low. If you play in the 4th league you already have to get a real job besides football because you probably just going to earn some hundred euros. To really make a living with football you gotta play in one of the 3 highest leagues. There are so many clubs btw because everyone could found a club if they want to. There are no school or college teams. And there’s not just one team per city. For example there are currently 5 clubs from London, 2 clubs from Liverpool and 2 clubs from Manchester in the 1st English division. And i don’t even wanna know how many London clubs there are in the lower leagues. In Germany as Berlin is the capital city and the largest city its the city with the most football clubs in germany. There are like 400 clubs here. Coming to the club structure: there’s the senior team, the team which plays in the senior leagues. You have to be at least 16 years old and the oldest professional footballer players are like 40 years old. These are the teams and leagues y’all know. Then as there are no school or college teams, every club has youth teams. From teams for the 6 year olds to teams for the 21 year olds (which could play in the senior teams but most of the times they aren’t good enough yet). In Berlin if you drive for just 10min you’re probably going to see like 5 football fields of the lower teams. Btw the low teams in general have no chance to really become successful (without an investor). It’s quiet impossible to go from the 8th league to the 1st league in like less than 30 years cause you just don’t have the money. Most of the times these teams just have a couple of fans. Rarely some hundreds. While the top teams have sometimes over 100000 fans.
My team were relegated from the Premier league in 2007 after 7 years there, we haven't been back since, been between the 2nd and 3rd divisions since and currently sit in the middle of the English 3rd division, caused by financial mismanagement and bad ownership. Its been a rough ride
Good vid guys. I’m from london and I support Fulham. My team keep getting relegated and promoted. (We call is a yo-yo club). But nothing hurts more then seeing your team get relegation
Relegation games (specially between teams that are at risk) can be pretty intense and wild and sometimes are more fun than games between teams that are actually running for the title. There is a special kind of schadenfreude in watching all that despair (and subsequent tears) of players, fans and managers from teams that get kicked out. Sometimes, we never hear from them for a long time. It's brutal, but so fun.
The structure of football is like this (it will be a large text, sorry haha) : Football have two worlds. The clubs world and the national teams world. This worlds have layers of official tournaments. Clubs: 3 layers *National Layer* - Usually, there are 2 of national championships. - This championships are organized by the national federation. - The League, where the teams play against each other, home and away. In the end of the rounds, the team with more points win the trophy. Usually this leagues are divided by divisions, where, in the and of the season, the teams with less points are relegated and the teams with more points climb up of division or, if the teams are in the first division, qualify for a continental championship. Examples: La Liga (Spain), Premier League (England), Bundesliga (Germany), Serie A (Italy), Brasileirão (Brazil), MLS (USA). - The Cup, where the teams plays in an a big bracket play-offs format tournament. Clubs from all divisions play this championship. The team with less goals in two matches, home and away, is eliminated and the other team advance to the next stage. Sometimes underdog clubs from lower division go really deep in cups, and sometimes, they even win. Usually, the winner of this tournament qualify for a continental championship. This cups happen parallel to the leagues in the season schedule. Examples: Copa del Rey (Spain), F.A. Cup (England), DFB Pokal (Germany), Coppa Italia (Italy), Copa do Brasil (Brazil). US don't have a cup. - This is the standard national structure, but there are variations, for example, England have 3 cups. Mexico and USA doesn't have any relegation as the clubs are not clubs but franchises. Brazil have state and regional championships. Some countries in Latin America have 2 leagues for each half of the season (Apertura/Clausura system). *Continental Layer* - National federations are affiliated to the continental confederations. - There are 6 continental confederations: UEFA (Europe), Conmebol (South America), CAF (Africa), Concacaf (North/Central America and Caribbean), ACF (Asia) and OCF (Oceania). - The teams best qualified in the national top division and, usually, the winner of the national cup of the previous season qualifies to the continental championships. - Usually, confederations have 2 club championships. A 1st tier clubs championship (those teams that qualified from 1st to 4th place in the national league and the champion of the cup) and a 2nd tier clubs championship (from 5th to 8th place in the national league). - This championships are divided in 2 stages: Group Stage, home and away matches, (best 2 teams of the group qualify to play-offs) and Play-offs, also home and away matches. - 32 clubs plays the continental championships. - The champion of 2nd tier championship qualifies to the 1st tier championship. - The champion of 1st tier championship qualifies to FIFA Club World Cup. - Examples of 2nd tier continental club championship: UEFA Europa League, CONMEBOL Sudamericana, CONCACAF League - Examples of 1st tier continental club championship: UEFA Champions League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League (Concachampions) - There are other complementary mini-championships like UEFA Super Cup or CONMEBOL Recopa, where 1st tier continental champion face the 2nd in a single match-final in neutral stadium. - This layer also have variations, for example, UEFA have a 3rd tier championship for european clubs: UEFA Conference League. *World Layer* - Continental confederations are filiated to FIFA (International Football Federation Association). - FIFA organizes the FIFA Club World Cup. It used to happen in december of every but, due to covid, it's now happening in januaries. - FIFA chooses invite the countries that will host the tournament (this year it happened in Qatar, next year will happen in the United Arab Emirates). - The 6 continental champions + champion of the host country plays the Club World Cup. - The championship is divided in 4 play-off stages. - 1st stage: Oceania champions x Host country champions - 2nd stage: 1st stage winner x Africa champions and Concacaf champions x Asia champions - 3rd stage (Semi-final): 2nd stage game 1 x South America champions and 2nd stage game 2 x European champions - 4th stage (Final): Final between the two clubs left. - Spain clubs are the most times world champions of winners, 11 times, followed by brazilian clubs, 10 times and argentinian clubs, 9 times. Obs: In clubs, the Club World Cup is also important but the clubs top prize is the continental 1st tier championship. National Teams: 2 layers National teams are represented by national federations. Because of that, in international matches you can see the federation emblems on teams jersey, instead of country flags. National teams games happen in DataFifa dates, where the coach of this teams summon up 23 players of clubs around the world, and the clubs send these players for a couple days for these international games. *Continental Layers* - There are 2 kinds of championships that continental confederations organize. - The continental cup: The national teams play qualifiers to play this championship. Then group stage and playoffs. The continental federations define a country to host this championship. Usually these cups happen for each 4 years. Examples: UEFA Euro, CONMEBOL Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup, CAF Nations Cup - The FIFA World Cup Qualifies: National teams of the continent play against each other. It have not a standard format because these qualifiers played are diferent for each continent. While in Europe they play a group stage/play-off qualifiers, in South America every nation play against each other, home and away, and the top 4 teams of the leaderboard qualify to the WC and 5th goes to the play-in against other continent team for a place on the WC. - Also there are variations: in Europe they play the UEFA Nations League, where the national teams are organized on 4 divisions and each team of this division play against each other. *World Layer* - The FIFA World Cup is the holy grail in football. Is the biggest prize of the sport. - It happen for each 4 years and is played in a group stage/play-off format. It's organized in pre-defined country or countries and it's played by 32 national teams from all continents. - These 32 teams are divided in 8 groups. The group teams face each other once. The 2 best teams of the group qualify to play-offs. - The world cup is going to its 22nd edition next year in Qatar. - The most times champion is Brazil with 5 titles, followed by Germany and Italy, 4 trophies for each one. - The last FIFA World Cup was in 2018 and happened in Russia. - The current world champion is France. They won the final against Croatia on the Luzhniki Stadium, in Moscow. Note: 99% of group stages and leagues have a standard point system. Winner take 3 points, loser take nothing and one point is given to each team if they draw. Sorry again for this huge text and my bad english but it explains how football works worldwide. Thanks for your content boys, cheers from Brazil !!!!!!
The thing that really blew my mind when I first got into following soccer was how Cup and Continental competition games are mixed in with regular league games during the season It’s actually really really cool playing for multiple titles besides just the league title… I really wish some of our sports leagues could do a cup competition each season in addition to the regular schedule Wouldn’t have to include teams from other leagues- Could just be, say, a cup tournament involving every team in the NBA. NBA Cup games could be sprinkled in between regular season games… Then the team that wins the NBA Cup gets, say, an automatic Playoffs berth as the 5th seed in their conference the following season 🏀 That would be dope
I believe they've made a second part for this where they say that some leagues have playoffs like Belgium or Scotland but not as a knockout round( that usually happens for lower divisions to try to get promoted for example 2nd team faces the 5th in the lower division or when the 3rd from the bottom of the higher league plays the 3rd in the lower like in Germany)
Best local league is Premiere league by far than other leagues yet the fun fact is all Premiere league teams All divisions combined were able to won Champions League 13 times which is the exact same number that Real Madrid had won Champions League 13 as most 👑 by far than any other team
In the champions league in the fase of the group system. the tirth get a place in a competion called europa league. its the second mist watchet competion besides champions league in europe
There's a huge revenue loss that comes with getting relegated. A lot of it comes from losing broadcasting revenue from TV deals because a lot more people watch the top division football compared to 2nd division football. And also for the players who are under contract, they wanna play in the top division for a lot of different reasons. That often leads to the relegated teams being forced to sell their best players, or at least sell them if they don't get promoted right away after one season.
this isn´t about a country but about a city... teams are city teams. Supporters and ultra´s are mostly from the city that the team represents. This goes back to the middle ages when citizens actually fought battles to protect their city. Now we fight through sports. It is in our DNA and upbringing... You should also know that European countries have hundreds of teams
What you need are some people like us who follow football and love the sport and you should do a Q&A as it would only take a couple of subscribers to help explain everything to you :)
The point system for wins, losses, and ties works out much better than before when a win was only worth 2 points. So many then played for a tie so often that there was little action compared to now. Look at old footage from the 80s amd early 90s. Hard fouls on any good chance and many of the players weren't in good enough shape to last a half the way it is played now.
The decrease in revenue is huge. Some teams do survive changing divisions if they manage their finances well, but some don't and go way down. The team of my city, in Spain, was in the 1st division 10 years ago and now is on the 4th division and it's very close to bankruptcy.
My team here in chile has never been relegated to second división in the history of fútbol and it is the biggest and greatest team here, you shoud react to some games from 2006 those players where just awesome. The name of the team is COLO-COLO. Aguante colo colo.
The finance plays a HUGE part if and when a team is relegated, huge! Being relegated means less income from fewer tickets being sold, fewer sold tickets means less merchandice, food and beverages sold and a big cut in TV money. Being relegated sucks! :)
When you are Relegated to the second division, it can be the End of the End for your club. But it depends how worst it is from Team to team. When you are a team with low Quality compare to the rest of the league, you automatically plan different, because the Probability to be Relegated is much higher compare to a top team. And know imagine a club with ambitions, who invested big Money to get good players to play at the Top get relegated? That’s the worst what can happens to a club because 1. You lose a lot of revenue, a LOT! 2. The value of the players automatically dropped and you can’t sell them for a good price. 3. What about the contracts ? Now things get really tricky. Some contracts are Just for the First division, that means when you got kicked out of the league, you will lose that player for free and the player can choose his next club by his own and the club will get absolutely nothing, not matter how long his contract is. And when the contract are also for a Second division you must to Know some things, Remember that the value from the player drops massive when his team relegated? And the team will lose a lot of their normal Revenue? know imagine having a player who earns like 15 Millionen a year and he have a 3 year Contract left. So you have to pay this Player a total of 45 Millionen ( you have to know that European contracts are most guaranteed). So basically you have to pay that player that much money without knowing when you will play in the first division again, and their are not something like trades or something, if a player wants to play until the end of his contract, he have the right to do that. So when you are the Club Manager you will say „okay we will sell him for a good price“ well, that’s not so easy. Imagine that player earns a lot of money and because of the fact that the Value of the player drops a lot because of the Relegation he will most likely not get that much money at a other club, in combination with the fact that you Have as a club way less money to spend in the Second division because of the Dropped Revenue, you have a REALLY REALLY REAAAALLLY big problem. And that was just the case with one player, and in a soccer team their a basically like 25-30 players in total. The teams who are playing against the Relegation are not playing for Fun or something, you basically play for their live, as a player, as a coach, as a Fan, as an Club owner, just everyone. That’s also a big fact why the Competition is much Harder than in the US and more emotional, ist’s way more than a Game, it’s your Life, its your Future. Some Clubs get completely destroyed by an Relegation, their are Teams who was 10 years ago in the First division and know playing on Amateur level. The Suicide Level in professional football is compare to other sports significant higher. Some players fell in deep depressions because can’t handle the Expectations and Pressure from The Club, Fans, Media etc. And the Media in Europe when it comes to football is absolutely Brutal. Couple Years ago A German Goalkeeper named Robert Enke jumped in front of a train because he didn’t see a other way to get away from the pressure.
In france, just awnser the "how many division" question, we got the Ligue 1 and 2. Then the ligues 3 4 and 5 are called "nationale" 1 2 and 3. Then it's a little bit tricky, each region is separated and play for themselves. Here we got "Regional" 1 2 and 3. And finally we got the district part, which are only for the "departement". Here you got district 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. In summary: - France got 15 divisions séparated by their size and level, ligue 1 & 2 and national 1, 2 & 3 are the only one played on a national level. - The lowest level is D7 or District 7 (which is rare and only exist in certain places in france). -Only Ligue 1 and 2 and a little part of the national 1 teams are proffessional and the rest is semi-pro or amateur
Barcelona won it all in 2009 and 2015, league, cup and champions league. Also 3 more supercups in 2009 so they won 6 titles in a season which is the record to this day.
the thing you also need to know is that the gap between first and second division is big but not as big as US system, you usually survive getting relegated. However for some clubs used to be main contenders for championship, getting relegated is wild, last year two historical french clubs got relegated (AS Saint-Etienne and Girondins de Bordeaux) it is like Chicago Bulls and Celtic getting kiked out of NBA. I recommand you to watch Saint-Etienne fans reacting after their club got relegated ...
Winning the league, the cup and the prestigious Champions League is called a treble and is a sign of absolute dominance it is by far the hardest achievement in football, it takes almost a full calendar year of playing every couple days and winning almost every game. Amazingly Barça and Bayern achieved this twice (08/09 and 14/15 , 12/13 and 19/20)
In the MLS this league has a MLS cup playoffs where clubs from the east and west compete for a trophy not just the league title your club can claim the supporters shield and the the Lamar hunt cup trophy for a chance to go to the champions league tournament and also the club world cup
Lol there are teams that win all of them , they call it a treble, winning your league, your cup AND the champions league in the same season, it’s really hard to do but some teams have done it
I'm a fan of Newcastle United in England who look like we're going to be relegated from the Premier League in England but have just been bought by the Saudi Arabian Investment Fund so we're now the richest sports club in the world - the fund is worth £350 billion !! Crazy !!
For a look at just how many divisions there can be, in England it goes to around tier 20/21. Something around 7-8000 clubs are theoretically able to win the top championship after a few years of promotions (well ok 2 decades of promotions if you are at the very bottom). There are around 500 divisions inside those tiers. The top 5 tiers are all fully professional except for one or two clubs in the 5th tier, so around 110 professional clubs in what is a tiny country by area.

I play in a mostly Hispanic soccer league in a medium sized US city. There are 4 divisions in the city that use a very similar format. We bounced in and out of the top league. I did it for fun but being paid 10-20 bucks a game and sometimes larger amounts for being the top of the second division is cool. These leagues are very competitive. My friends from high school were stuck at the bottom of the 4th division. They had to pay for jerseys and referees in that division. We had our provided by sponsors..
@@martinottesen1053 The fields are all within 30 minutes of Grand Rapids, MI. So pretty much southwest Michigan. We have a large amount of migrant farm workers that spend the summer farming in SW MI. It is such a strange experience to have no ability to talk to anyone. The coaches son would translate some stuff and tell me what was being said. I wish I hadn't gotten hurt and had to stop playing.
Relegation could be a disaster depending of many things. My team, for example, is a small one that got lucky 8 years ago and was able to get to the spanish first division. After 8 season we got relegated to the second division but it was not a disaster since the people who manage the club didnt went crazy and didnt invest too much money in the years in the first division, mantaining a good balance. Other clubs went much much worst when they went relegated and there are cases where teams just dissapeared because they went broke and they could not recover because the debt was too big. So in "soccer", specially in the big european divisions you have to be very careful with the finances.
Yeah there are two theories - don't go mad and when you get relegated you survive, or take the risk of spending big in the knowledge that you might either go bust if relegated, or at least have not enough money to prevent further relegations
"you got a whole country behind you" No you don't. This is only about club football. Which is something different than the national teams, were countries play each-other. At clubs players from all kinds of countries play together in a team. The club is the employer of the pro player, players can sign at any club they want, for any salary. Every club just tries to contract the best players they can afford. These clubs play in their national league, their national cup(s) and if good enough, in the European cup(s), like the Champions league. Beside all this you have competitions between national teams. Players from any club can be invited to play for their national team, which is an honor. In German national team only Germans play, in the English team only English players, In the USA national team only Americans and so on. Every 4 year there is a world cup, for which all the countries in the world try to qualify, and the ones who do, play at the world cup tournament held somewhere over the course of a few weeks. Also on every continent there is a cup, in Europe this is the European Cup, also held every 4 years (held in years between World Cups). So for example: Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a Portuguese player who plays for Manchester United in England. With Man. United he plays in the Premier league, The FA cup, the league cup and the Champion league. He also plays in the Portuguese national team, with all other Portuguese players who get invited. Paul Pogba also plays at Man. united, but he is French, so he plays for the French national team. So Pogba and Ronaldo play in the same team at their Club but when they play for their national team they play in different teams.
10:40 yes, there are teams that have won it all! look up football doubles, trebles, quadruples, quintuples, sextuples. barcelona & bayern munich have won 6 trophies in a single year.
5:18 "there might be another division beside the 2de division" most hilarious comment for people knowing the answer to this. There are 2235 soccer leagues in Germany. In theory if you keep losing and relegating, you will end up at the lowest level league, and vice versa if you keep winning promotion every year you will end up at the highest possible level. In Germany the 3 highest leagues are single leagues, after that you get parallel leagues. The highest level is the 1st Bundesliga, 2nd highest level is the 2nd bundesliga, then 3rd, at the 4th highest level you have 5 regional leagues (west, east etc.), each lower level there are more and more parallel leagues, this continues all the way down to the 13rd level in Germany. On all these 13 levels combined there are a total of 2235 leagues, with 31,645 teams in them. Only the highest leagues are professionals, the lower leagues are amateurs.
The football pitch is a lot bigger than a basketball court. We do play basketball here it's just more an amateur thing, not as big. But it's common to play at high school for example.
And just imagine this whole process being replicated in every other continent Big continental cup, many national leagues with promotion and relegation system and a national cup That's every year, with the only difference being the calendar In Brazil for example, the teams from the first and second divisions play from January until November or even begining of December every year
Yep that's what football Club had to face bro. Ain't no such thing like tanking for better draft picks or you intentionally lose a game just to make your rival failed to go to playoff like the eagles did a couple seasons ago. And to put into perspective, winning super Bowl for new York Jets was less surprising than winning a football league with this model if your team was underdog. So as the previous comments said, you need to check out clueless American guides for premier League video. That video was very informative and insightful even for a football fans like me
in Europe and in the rest of the world the only thing that changes are the tournament,there is a famous youtube video of an Argentine fan that sees's how his team River Plate (Argentina ) is going to relegation.
In Italy there are Serie A, Serie B, Serie C, Serie D, Eccellenza, Promozione, Prima Categoria, Seconda Categoria, Terza Categoria. 9 leagues. For a total of around 7200 different teams.
Also there is a big playoff in England Championship promoted as the richest game in sport. This is the final for the 3rd team to qualify for the English Premier league. The winner gets a share of the $12.57 Billion that the top division clubs in England
Here in Spain there are like 9 divisions. I can create a team right know with friends , and If I win the league 9 yrs in row I can end up playing against Real Madrid, I would need some money, coz from the 4 division up you need some cash standards, a stadium and it starts to get professional, But you get the point, there's no impediment for any team to make it to the top if they're good.
And btw only 4 top teams have won league, cup and champions league in the same season, the treble is called. Barça, Manchester United, Ajax and Inter Milan. Real Madrid never, but they're the only team that defended the champions league titles, they won it 3 times in a row. 4 times in 5 years
@Naim Bensaid: If you count Ajax, you must also count Celtic and Eindhoven, since they also won a european treble when the Champion’s League did not yet exist. On the other hand, you didn’t count Bayern which is the only club alongside Barça to win the „modern“ treble twice, last time in the preceeding season (2020). Overall there’s 7 clubs that have won the european treble.
My team has never reached the Premier League, although we have been very close to reaching it a few times. So for 30+ years of following my team we have moved up and down many times between the 4th and 2nd divisions, but you still continue to support them and travel all over the country for away games because they are part of you. It's in your heart.

Yes clubs usually take a huge financial hit from being relegated. The second division (in England at least) is also a very different proposition. More games played and it’s a much more physical league. Some teams go down to the second division and stay there for decades, some go down and come right back up, and some can slip down 3 divisions in 5 years. I’ve even seen teams that you’d expect to come right back up be stuck in the second division for 5 years or so. And yea you’ll see a lot of tears when a team gets relegated, that’s why people are so connected to their clubs, you really go through stuff.
As you may imagine it's even worse outside of England, since a great number of championship team still make more money than a great majority of teams in big leagues around Europe.
Most of the times getting relegated its the start of the end for a lot of teams

To make it simple a soccer field is compareble to a american football one in terms of size. I know ive seen a few MLS teams play on football arenas, you just need to paint some new lines.
And they play 2*45min.not 15 sek, a week break, another 15sek. And a long break again.
@@ImDembe It's close but I played soccer in US and a soccer field is a good bit wider and its as long as a football field but counting the endzones so I guess the playable field is longer. I used to hate playing on football fields.
My team in Mexico (Leon) stayed relegated for 10 years. When they finally came back to the 1st division they won back to back championships. This relegation thing is what makes soccer so much more exciting than other sports
I see relegation as a chance. For promoted teams - to prove themselves against better teams, for relegated teams - to build themselves up back again.
@@Shinobito1 and it just keeps you more engaged as a fan. Because sometimes relegation/promotion isn’t decided until the last week of games.
I remember that. Suck that mexico took out relegation
Last games of the season are an absolut thriller when teams involved try to avoid relegation. Usually in every league, 3-4 teams have to fight till the last minute of the last game to stay in the league. It's often quite more entertaining than title fight, which are usually decided 3-4 games before the league ends. For a lot of teams, avoiding relegation is like winning a title. It's the beauty of this sport, it's not just a matter of winning titles, it's something bigger than that. Every game and detail counts
Love Czech League. Last games are much more like politial drama, unexpected results, upsets..Is like ... you know these types of "accidents" or "luck" when you lose with team who desperately needs a win
Not to mention the middle of the table teams have something to fight for two, the only thing this video forgot to mention are the qualification spots for the Champions and Europa Leagues. The way its set up, every team is fighting for something almost the entire season. Every game counts.
Winning all three competitions is called winning the Treble. That puts your squad down in history as one of the greatest, no doubt.
Teams that done that in recent history:
Man Utd '98-'99
Inter Milan '09-'10
Bayern Munich '12-'13 and '19-'20
Barcelona '08-'09 and '14-'15

The domestic cup competitions are so great. Imagine if your local pickup basketball team could play against the Lakers. And once in a while, these random local amateur teams would actually beat a professional team (usually a G league type of team, but still).
Relegation is also just great. No playing for draft picks. No benching your best players to avoid injury. Every player is fighting for their lives. Usually in their contract they will have clauses that make them take a pay cut if the team is relegated, so these guys are playing to keep food on the table for themselves! You want to keep that sweet car you just bought? Want to keep paying the mortgage on your new house? Better not get relegated!
Also imagine the lakers playing an away game at a small court 🤣👏
@@Southlondonrider92 That's the best part because a lot of small teams have the most loyal and crazy fans.
Many ayers will also have a clause that they get paid more if the team gets promoted, too.
Depends on a country/league, but there are many divisions. I come from Poland, so I will give you example from my country. We have 8/9 divisions. Divisions 1-3 are called central divisions, but starting with 4th division, there are groups in that division. Ex. in 4th division there are 4 groups, more in 5th etc. They are called then regional divisions, where regional associations decide upon groups and they go down to 8th division with some 9th divisions in some county-equivalents. And yes, as long as you do well enough you can progress from 8th division up to 1st. It is almost impossible though, because you would need a lot of money, and lower divisions are purely amatoure clubs. Yes, you can gather 11 friends, one coach, make some shirts, decide upon your colours, symbols, organize yourself a pitch (you could even make a deal with local school for that), send all required documents to your local football association, and there you go - you have an official team in official league.
Wow thanks for that info my guy
@@dunsonhouse Update: this year two regions started 10th division level competitions.
The financial loss is very severe. E.g. Schalke 04 is a German Club that recently got relegated. To compensate for that loss they had to shut down or sell other divisions of their "Franchise" a.k.a. teams playing in other sports. They even sold their eSports division so they could survive financially
Football is quite easy to understand. Play to win. Full stop.
The more a team wins, the more points they accumulate. Full stop.
Funding comes from national football associations where, winning trophies result in receiving funds from the league. Same when there are European/African/Asian/South American tournaments.
We don’t play “soccer” in Europe, we play football.
Yes, its football, not soccer
Real football
In America ppl grow up being told that soccer is a women’s sport or for Mexicans very few areas play soccer in USA competitively besides California and east coast things are changing now but I doubt Americans who love american football will call “sissy ball” football. I grew up playing futbol w Mexicans and Latinos in California but everyone besides the Latino community no one cares for it much
Yet the term originated in Britain. I'm British, I love football but if someone wants to call it soccer, you crack on.
Goddamn, give it a rest. If Americans didn’t call it soccer when talking to other Americans, it’d be easy to confuse the two. Cut the pretentious bullshit
Here in Brazil we have a different calendar, we are in the end of the season now, if you look at the table we still have 3 games to play, my team (Ceará) is now fighting for a spot at Libertadores next year, South American version of Champions League, and we have the same amount of points of another team, about 5 teams are close in the table fighting to be in top 8 (to play this competition), also, this year one of the biggest teams in the country is fighting relegation, they're rich, they have great players like Douglas Costa and Rafinha (former Bayern Munch players) but they're 18th place and almost relegated, this is crazy, alsto 2 former league champions are in the zone for relegation and the reason why this sport is so amazing!
Football pitch is waaay bigger but the thing is that in basketball you have both teams running up and down the whole time, whereas in football, players that are away from the ball can be more static.
But a basketball match only lasts the half of a football match and there is a constant rotation of the playes that play. You should also watch a video that discribes the actual rules of a match MAD LOVE FROM GREECE BROTHERS
Footballers run much further in a game than in basketball, around 10k per match. A surprising amount of that is spent sprinting, an awful lot of it isn't noticed because it is off the ball and comes to nothing (the ball isn't passed to them, for example)
React to Leicester winning the Premier League. That is a great underdog story.

These are some of the ways European teams make money (I will not list everything):
--> Members - Fans that pay a monthly fee to support the team;
--> Selling players;
--> Playing the Uefa Champions League
--> Sponsorship from brands;
--> TV rights paid by the league;
The last two play a huge role in relegation.
Brands want visibility, so if you drop to a minor league, even if they keep the sponsorship they will renegotiate the contract to pay you less money.
Second division has less TV time and interest, you will get less money to play on that league.
Oh, yes. Don't forget about the tickets... your stadium seats will have less value as well.

Relegation is definitely a BIG hit for clubs, but if the institution is stable and intelligent, the club can survive and fight to get back to 1st division. Some clubs just don't have that luck
Goals scored or goal difference are used as tie breaker in case of teams with the same points. In some cases even the games between the teams involved are used as tiebreakers.

One extra point for the german Bundeliga (don't know if it's the same in other countries), the third last from the upper division and the third best from the lower division don't move up and down right away but have a seperate relegation match to determine which of the two teams gets to either move up or stay in the upper division.
The best thing about the relegation and promotion system in the League's is it gives the 2nd division teams a chance to generate more talent from the youth players. The league is always exciting every start of the season because of the newly promoting teams/players/managers.. Not to mention the Cup games and Champions League games in between. System like this have allowed teams that have come from the very bottom division, earn promotion and even win the the top flight league. Nottingham Forrest are a good example, In 1978 they earned promotion and the very first season won the league. One of the rare few that have managed to accomplish that to this day.
My hometown team is sort of a fallen giant. Mostly played in the 2nd division when I was a kid, but then, we reached the top league again around 10 years ago, and around 5 years later we won it all. Extremely cathartic.
which club is it?
finally an honest reaction,well done kids.
I enjoyed your reaction, my friends though, in England, which boasts the world#s greatest football league which is The Premier League, the difference each year between being in the Top 2 Divisions is not $40,000,000 but $240,000,000 and there is also another domestic English Cup each season called The League Cup which is also played midweek so the very best 7 or 8 teams could be involved in the later stages of 4 competitions so, occasionally, rest their players. In England, there are 4 Divisions in the League involving 92 independent Clubs/Teams and 11 divisions altogether in the Football League Pyramid. THere are over 7,000 teams in The Country :)

Relegation gets super exiting, almost as exciting as watching teams trying to win the division because the bottom teams are trying their best to finish above that line.

Relegation makes the football league system more of a meritocracy.
In theory, a new football club can join an amateur league and over many years, gradually fight their way up, through promotion, to higher and higher leagues and eventually become overall champions.
The reality is not as simple as this, of course but at least the possibility exists.
For the leagues below the top division, fighting for promotion and to escape relegation is every bit as exciting as the competition in the top division.
Plus, the leagues are different every year.
Following up what you raise at 10:40, occasionally a team does win the league, cup, and champions league, and that’s known as a treble. Any team that does that is always remembered
The 3 points thing: well in soccer ties are relatively common, and actually, just defending is much easier. At the start of the game you're 0-0 and it's not uncommon that's also the result at the end. You can see this in some combat sports, where fighters must attack or they get a penalty for being too passive. In soccer, the same result you get by awarding a win with 3 points. This way a team (usually the strongest) is motivated in risking and being on the attack.
Relegations: yes being relegated can usually be a huge financial hit, due to lower attendances, TV rights, and also less income from sponsors for being in a lower league. That said, life in a lower league is easier, you can sell a few players, reduce the total salary cost, and still have a team strong enough to attempt a promotion back to the upper league.
A country has as many divisions as necessary to accomodate for the pro teams it has, which can be a large number, say in Italy. There used to be semi-pro division below pro divisions, and amateurs divisions below that, but today it's pro or amateurs (players who don't get a salary for playing).
Also, the player market is open. Time restricted, but no team gets to pick first.
And yes some teams managed to win their national top league, their national cup, and the Champion League the same year.
Since you have to end very high in standings to qualify for the Champion League, there's also a sister tournament for runner ups (teams that barely missed the CL qualification). It's still a quite prestigious trophy, the Europa League. Just for fun (although there's technically a trophy) the CL winner and the EL winner have a match to see who's the best.
Regarding divisions - In Denmark we have the Superleague (top division), league (curently Nordicbet league), 2nd division and 3rd division, these 4 leagues make up the pro leagues. below 3rd division we have 7 more leagues going from series, and the series 1 to 6. Series 4, 5 and 6 are mostly so called "beer leagues" as are some series 2 teams :)

The teams who finish 5th/6th/7th play in the Secondary Europa League which involves even more games than The Champions League and longer journeys as the best European teams are in West and Southern Europe so if you are an English team it will only be a 2 or 3-hour flight. The League started in 1885 so 136 years ago. Teams need big squads as the very best teams could be contesting all 4 trophies being The Premier English League,F A Cup, League Cup, and Champions Cup. The WORLD CUP is every 4 years for COUNTRIES NOT individual Clubs/teams.:)
And it was not the most watched game this year

Quite accurate but simplified. In each countries, there are usually from 3 to 6 levels for professional teams. Under them, there are the amateurs divisions but if they can do well they can climb on the ladders but at some points the club MUST get a professional status or they're blocked and can't get promoted. About relegation, if a promoted club is also kicked out for any reason (usually financial...), it's forbid to be promoted and one of the relegated team from the higher level is saved and stays in the top league. more and more, instead of the three relegated teams, now the bottom two are relegated and the third gets a last chance to stay on a play off match, usually against the 3rd of the lower league. About the football season, it's usually august-may except for Scandinavia and the countries on the Russian area where they play between march and October for climatic reason.
05:14 yes teams that gets relegated takes a hit financially sponsors tv rights and such in some cases even your club talents jump ship and ask for a transfer
During league games, you really don't have your country on your back. That's for International games and tournaments e.g the Dream Team consists of American players only, who play in different NBA franchises. During international basketball tournaments, Giannis plays for greece e.t.c

They won the League, The Cup and the SuperCup (winner of the League vs winner of the Cup) in their countries, then won de Champions League and the ReCup in Europe (winner of the Champions vs winner of the Europa Legaue is another tournament like champions) and in december won the wolrd cup of clubs, the winners of the all continents face each other in a short tournament.
I'm from the North East of England and football is in our blood. I have seen us move stadium, gain promotion to the Premier League, lose cup finals and get relegated. I have seen us bounce back to the Premier League, get to a final of a European competition and just about everything else you can see as a fan. We have a chairman from our town who got involved in the club when it was about to go out of business in the 80's and he is still owner to this day. Football is something very special not only in England but across Europe.
Hockey uses a point system too. But it’s two points for a win.
Ok appreciate the comment ✊🏽
My team is Italian so Serie A, it’s called A.C. Monza and in 2016 it was in Serie D, the 4th division, in 2017 it got promoted in Serie C and became a professional team, 3 years later p, in 2019 there was a miracle, we entered the Serie B after almost 10 years and we had a chant “non andremo mai in Serie A” LAST YEAR, AFTER 111 YEARS OF HISTORY, WE GOT PROMOTED IN SERIE A FOR THE FIRST TIME, now it’s 10th and it’s the first club of my zone (Brianza) to reach the Serie A, we got so good that the mister told that we could finish in the Conference league.
In 6 years we achieved everything, sure, our trophies aren’t good but we’re in Serie A
FORZA MONZA ALEEEEEE
In the cup, the pro teams get a bye for a few rounds, and they tend to send their 2nd and 3rd stringers to play the first rounds. Every year there is always some pro team that didn't take the opening rounds seriously enough.
Respect to u guys 4 educating yourselfs.
10:34 "Imagine if your team wins it all".
That's why some soccer players are treated like gods.
Even de middle table teams play to enter other tourneys like the Europe League and also the champions of the national cups play against the league winners for the super cup and bragging rigths (and money). The cup´s winner also enter Europe League
Oh man don’t get me start at this. So I’m gonna use German football for example because I’m from Germany and I know the most about the German leagues. So there is professional football. In Germany there are 3 professional leagues. 1st, 2nd and 3rd division. (Sometimes it’s different, for example England has 4 professional leagues). After the 3 professional leagues there come like “regional leagues”. Leagues which you only play against teams from your Region not from the whole nation. So there are more leagues at the same stage. In 4th division in Germany there are 5 leagues, so the German map gets split in 5 parts and every of these parts has his own league. The winners of these 5 leagues fight in a weird relegation system with a play off game for the spots in the third league. After the 5x 4th leagues there comes the 5th league, 6th league, 7th league, 8th league, etc. The regional parts become smaller as lower the division. So when you play in a very very low league you’re probably gonna play against teams just from your city. In Germany there are. Altogether there are over 2000 leagues just in Germany with over 30000 clubs. But at some point in the lowest leagues you literally just ply for fun. There probably gonna play 40 year old fat men which are drunk while playing. In these low leagues they don’t have real training aswell and if they don’t want to play they just don’t arrive to the game. So it’s very very unprofessional. Looking at the money: if you play in the 1st league in Germany the possibility to become a millionaire aren’t that low. If you play in the 4th league you already have to get a real job besides football because you probably just going to earn some hundred euros. To really make a living with football you gotta play in one of the 3 highest leagues. There are so many clubs btw because everyone could found a club if they want to. There are no school or college teams. And there’s not just one team per city. For example there are currently 5 clubs from London, 2 clubs from Liverpool and 2 clubs from Manchester in the 1st English division. And i don’t even wanna know how many London clubs there are in the lower leagues. In Germany as Berlin is the capital city and the largest city its the city with the most football clubs in germany. There are like 400 clubs here. Coming to the club structure: there’s the senior team, the team which plays in the senior leagues. You have to be at least 16 years old and the oldest professional footballer players are like 40 years old. These are the teams and leagues y’all know. Then as there are no school or college teams, every club has youth teams. From teams for the 6 year olds to teams for the 21 year olds (which could play in the senior teams but most of the times they aren’t good enough yet). In Berlin if you drive for just 10min you’re probably going to see like 5 football fields of the lower teams. Btw the low teams in general have no chance to really become successful (without an investor). It’s quiet impossible to go from the 8th league to the 1st league in like less than 30 years cause you just don’t have the money. Most of the times these teams just have a couple of fans. Rarely some hundreds. While the top teams have sometimes over 100000 fans.
To answer your question the relegation and promotion concept continues down the leagues (there are a lot of leagues). England alone has ~700 teams.
You missed a zero - 7000 teams theoretically capable of getting to the top division in England
My team were relegated from the Premier league in 2007 after 7 years there, we haven't been back since, been between the 2nd and 3rd divisions since and currently sit in the middle of the English 3rd division, caused by financial mismanagement and bad ownership. Its been a rough ride
Love your réactions and thinking
Good vid guys. I’m from london and I support Fulham. My team keep getting relegated and promoted. (We call is a yo-yo club). But nothing hurts more then seeing your team get relegation
Relegation games (specially between teams that are at risk) can be pretty intense and wild and sometimes are more fun than games between teams that are actually running for the title.
There is a special kind of schadenfreude in watching all that despair (and subsequent tears) of players, fans and managers from teams that get kicked out. Sometimes, we never hear from them for a long time. It's brutal, but so fun.
The structure of football is like this (it will be a large text, sorry haha) :
Football have two worlds. The clubs world and the national teams world. This worlds have layers of official tournaments.
Clubs: 3 layers
*National Layer*
- Usually, there are 2 of national championships.
- This championships are organized by the national federation.
- The League, where the teams play against each other, home and away. In the end of the rounds, the team with more points win the trophy. Usually this leagues are divided by divisions, where, in the and of the season, the teams with less points are relegated and the teams with more points climb up of division or, if the teams are in the first division, qualify for a continental championship. Examples: La Liga (Spain), Premier League (England), Bundesliga (Germany), Serie A (Italy), Brasileirão (Brazil), MLS (USA).
- The Cup, where the teams plays in an a big bracket play-offs format tournament. Clubs from all divisions play this championship. The team with less goals in two matches, home and away, is eliminated and the other team advance to the next stage. Sometimes underdog clubs from lower division go really deep in cups, and sometimes, they even win. Usually, the winner of this tournament qualify for a continental championship. This cups happen parallel to the leagues in the season schedule. Examples: Copa del Rey (Spain), F.A. Cup (England), DFB Pokal (Germany), Coppa Italia (Italy), Copa do Brasil (Brazil). US don't have a cup.
- This is the standard national structure, but there are variations, for example, England have 3 cups. Mexico and USA doesn't have any relegation as the clubs are not clubs but franchises. Brazil have state and regional championships.
Some countries in Latin America have 2 leagues for each half of the season (Apertura/Clausura system).
*Continental Layer*
- National federations are affiliated to the continental confederations.
- There are 6 continental confederations: UEFA (Europe), Conmebol (South America), CAF (Africa), Concacaf (North/Central America and Caribbean), ACF (Asia) and OCF (Oceania).
- The teams best qualified in the national top division and, usually, the winner of the national cup of the previous season qualifies to the continental championships.
- Usually, confederations have 2 club championships. A 1st tier clubs championship (those teams that qualified from 1st to 4th place in the national league and the champion of the cup) and a 2nd tier clubs championship (from 5th to 8th place in the national league).
- This championships are divided in 2 stages: Group Stage, home and away matches, (best 2 teams of the group qualify to play-offs) and Play-offs, also home and away matches.
- 32 clubs plays the continental championships.
- The champion of 2nd tier championship qualifies to the 1st tier championship.
- The champion of 1st tier championship qualifies to FIFA Club World Cup.
- Examples of 2nd tier continental club championship: UEFA Europa League, CONMEBOL Sudamericana, CONCACAF League
- Examples of 1st tier continental club championship: UEFA Champions League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, CONCACAF Champions League (Concachampions)
- There are other complementary mini-championships like UEFA Super Cup or CONMEBOL Recopa, where 1st tier continental champion face the 2nd in a single match-final in neutral stadium.
- This layer also have variations, for example, UEFA have a 3rd tier championship for european clubs: UEFA Conference League.
*World Layer*
- Continental confederations are filiated to FIFA (International Football Federation Association).
- FIFA organizes the FIFA Club World Cup. It used to happen in december of every but, due to covid, it's now happening in januaries.
- FIFA chooses invite the countries that will host the tournament (this year it happened in Qatar, next year will happen in the United Arab Emirates).
- The 6 continental champions + champion of the host country plays the Club World Cup.
- The championship is divided in 4 play-off stages.
- 1st stage: Oceania champions x Host country champions
- 2nd stage: 1st stage winner x Africa champions and Concacaf champions x Asia champions
- 3rd stage (Semi-final): 2nd stage game 1 x South America champions and 2nd stage game 2 x European champions
- 4th stage (Final): Final between the two clubs left.
- Spain clubs are the most times world champions of winners, 11 times, followed by brazilian clubs, 10 times and argentinian clubs, 9 times.
Obs: In clubs, the Club World Cup is also important but the clubs top prize is the continental 1st tier championship.
National Teams: 2 layers
National teams are represented by national federations. Because of that, in international matches you can see the federation emblems on teams jersey, instead of country flags.
National teams games happen in DataFifa dates, where the coach of this teams summon up 23 players of clubs around the world, and the clubs send these players for a couple days for these international games.
*Continental Layers*
- There are 2 kinds of championships that continental confederations organize.
- The continental cup: The national teams play qualifiers to play this championship. Then group stage and playoffs. The continental federations define a country to host this championship. Usually these cups happen for each 4 years. Examples: UEFA Euro, CONMEBOL Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup, CAF Nations Cup
- The FIFA World Cup Qualifies: National teams of the continent play against each other. It have not a standard format because these qualifiers played are diferent for each continent. While in Europe they play a group stage/play-off qualifiers, in South America every nation play against each other, home and away, and the top 4 teams of the leaderboard qualify to the WC and 5th goes to the play-in against other continent team for a place on the WC.
- Also there are variations: in Europe they play the UEFA Nations League, where the national teams are organized on 4 divisions and each team of this division play against each other.
*World Layer*
- The FIFA World Cup is the holy grail in football. Is the biggest prize of the sport.
- It happen for each 4 years and is played in a group stage/play-off format. It's organized in pre-defined country or countries and it's played by 32 national teams from all continents.
- These 32 teams are divided in 8 groups. The group teams face each other once. The 2 best teams of the group qualify to play-offs.
- The world cup is going to its 22nd edition next year in Qatar.
- The most times champion is Brazil with 5 titles, followed by Germany and Italy, 4 trophies for each one.
- The last FIFA World Cup was in 2018 and happened in Russia.
- The current world champion is France. They won the final against Croatia on the Luzhniki Stadium, in Moscow.
Note: 99% of group stages and leagues have a standard point system. Winner take 3 points, loser take nothing and one point is given to each team if they draw.
Sorry again for this huge text and my bad english but it explains how football works worldwide. Thanks for your content boys, cheers from Brazil !!!!!!
The thing that really blew my mind when I first got into following soccer was how Cup and Continental competition games are mixed in with regular league games during the season
It’s actually really really cool playing for multiple titles besides just the league title… I really wish some of our sports leagues could do a cup competition each season in addition to the regular schedule
Wouldn’t have to include teams from other leagues- Could just be, say, a cup tournament involving every team in the NBA. NBA Cup games could be sprinkled in between regular season games… Then the team that wins the NBA Cup gets, say, an automatic Playoffs berth as the 5th seed in their conference the following season 🏀
That would be dope
I believe they've made a second part for this where they say that some leagues have playoffs like Belgium or Scotland but not as a knockout round( that usually happens for lower divisions to try to get promoted for example 2nd team faces the 5th in the lower division or when the 3rd from the bottom of the higher league plays the 3rd in the lower like in Germany)
Best local league is Premiere league by far than other leagues yet the fun fact is all Premiere league teams All divisions combined were able to won Champions League 13 times which is the exact same number that Real Madrid had won Champions League 13 as most 👑 by far than any other team
In the champions league in the fase of the group system. the tirth get a place in a competion called europa league. its the second mist watchet competion besides champions league in europe
huge financial hit.. And there might be good players that have their contract saying if they drop down (relegated) they can leave the team..
and the most important thing.......NO TIMEOUTS! only a 15mins break at the halftime :)
great content guys
There's a huge revenue loss that comes with getting relegated. A lot of it comes from losing broadcasting revenue from TV deals because a lot more people watch the top division football compared to 2nd division football. And also for the players who are under contract, they wanna play in the top division for a lot of different reasons. That often leads to the relegated teams being forced to sell their best players, or at least sell them if they don't get promoted right away after one season.
this isn´t about a country but about a city... teams are city teams. Supporters and ultra´s are mostly from the city that the team represents. This goes back to the middle ages when citizens actually fought battles to protect their city. Now we fight through sports. It is in our DNA and upbringing... You should also know that European countries have hundreds of teams
What you need are some people like us who follow football and love the sport and you should do a Q&A as it would only take a couple of subscribers to help explain everything to you :)
The point system for wins, losses, and ties works out much better than before when a win was only worth 2 points. So many then played for a tie so often that there was little action compared to now. Look at old footage from the 80s amd early 90s. Hard fouls on any good chance and many of the players weren't in good enough shape to last a half the way it is played now.
Watch the Sunderland till I die program from Netflix to have an idea of what it means to get relegated.
ur brother has vibes :D he has a team :D i like him :D u bleed for that team
The decrease in revenue is huge. Some teams do survive changing divisions if they manage their finances well, but some don't and go way down. The team of my city, in Spain, was in the 1st division 10 years ago and now is on the 4th division and it's very close to bankruptcy.
My team here in chile has never been relegated to second división in the history of fútbol and it is the biggest and greatest team here, you shoud react to some games from 2006 those players where just awesome. The name of the team is COLO-COLO. Aguante colo colo.
England also has the FA cup which is a fantastic tournament
The finance plays a HUGE part if and when a team is relegated, huge! Being relegated means less income from fewer tickets being sold, fewer sold tickets means less merchandice, food and beverages sold and a big cut in TV money. Being relegated sucks! :)
Sucks when it happens but it's definitely an important part of the sport
When you are Relegated to the second division, it can be the End of the End for your club. But it depends how worst it is from Team to team. When you are a team with low Quality compare to the rest of the league, you automatically plan different, because the Probability to be Relegated is much higher compare to a top team. And know imagine a club with ambitions, who invested big Money to get good players to play at the Top get relegated? That’s the worst what can happens to a club because 1. You lose a lot of revenue, a LOT! 2. The value of the players automatically dropped and you can’t sell them for a good price. 3. What about the contracts ? Now things get really tricky. Some contracts are Just for the First division, that means when you got kicked out of the league, you will lose that player for free and the player can choose his next club by his own and the club will get absolutely nothing, not matter how long his contract is. And when the contract are also for a Second division you must to Know some things, Remember that the value from the player drops massive when his team relegated? And the team will lose a lot of their normal Revenue? know imagine having a player who earns like 15 Millionen a year and he have a 3 year Contract left. So you have to pay this Player a total of 45 Millionen ( you have to know that European contracts are most guaranteed). So basically you have to pay that player that much money without knowing when you will play in the first division again, and their are not something like trades or something, if a player wants to play until the end of his contract, he have the right to do that. So when you are the Club Manager you will say „okay we will sell him for a good price“ well, that’s not so easy. Imagine that player earns a lot of money and because of the fact that the Value of the player drops a lot because of the Relegation he will most likely not get that much money at a other club, in combination with the fact that you Have as a club way less money to spend in the Second division because of the Dropped Revenue, you have a REALLY REALLY REAAAALLLY big problem. And that was just the case with one player, and in a soccer team their a basically like 25-30 players in total.
The teams who are playing against the Relegation are not playing for Fun or something, you basically play for their live, as a player, as a coach, as a Fan, as an Club owner, just everyone. That’s also a big fact why the Competition is much Harder than in the US and more emotional, ist’s way more than a Game, it’s your Life, its your Future. Some Clubs get completely destroyed by an Relegation, their are Teams who was 10 years ago in the First division and know playing on Amateur level.
The Suicide Level in professional football is compare to other sports significant higher. Some players fell in deep depressions because can’t handle the Expectations and Pressure from The Club, Fans, Media etc. And the Media in Europe when it comes to football is absolutely Brutal. Couple Years ago A German Goalkeeper named Robert Enke jumped in front of a train because he didn’t see a other way to get away from the pressure.
You guys actually get it!
Facts appreciate the comment
In france, just awnser the "how many division" question, we got the Ligue 1 and 2. Then the ligues 3 4 and 5 are called "nationale" 1 2 and 3. Then it's a little bit tricky, each region is separated and play for themselves. Here we got "Regional" 1 2 and 3. And finally we got the district part, which are only for the "departement". Here you got district 1 2 3 4 5 6 7.
In summary:
- France got 15 divisions séparated by their size and level, ligue 1 & 2 and national 1, 2 & 3 are the only one played on a national level.
- The lowest level is D7 or District 7 (which is rare and only exist in certain places in france).
-Only Ligue 1 and 2 and a little part of the national 1 teams are proffessional and the rest is semi-pro or amateur
The play off final in the second division in england to get to the premier league is called the richest game in the world
Barcelona won it all in 2009 and 2015, league, cup and champions league. Also 3 more supercups in 2009 so they won 6 titles in a season which is the record to this day.
Well Bayern Munich has equaled it in 2020
the thing you also need to know is that the gap between first and second division is big but not as big as US system, you usually survive getting relegated. However for some clubs used to be main contenders for championship, getting relegated is wild, last year two historical french clubs got relegated (AS Saint-Etienne and Girondins de Bordeaux) it is like Chicago Bulls and Celtic getting kiked out of NBA. I recommand you to watch Saint-Etienne fans reacting after their club got relegated ...
Winning the league, the cup and the prestigious Champions League is called a treble and is a sign of absolute dominance it is by far the hardest achievement in football, it takes almost a full calendar year of playing every couple days and winning almost every game. Amazingly Barça and Bayern achieved this twice (08/09 and 14/15 , 12/13 and 19/20)
In the MLS this league has a MLS cup playoffs where clubs from the east and west compete for a trophy not just the league title your club can claim the supporters shield and the the Lamar hunt cup trophy for a chance to go to the champions league tournament and also the club world cup
Lol there are teams that win all of them , they call it a treble, winning your league, your cup AND the champions league in the same season, it’s really hard to do but some teams have done it
I'm a fan of Newcastle United in England who look like we're going to be relegated from the Premier League in England but have just been bought by the Saudi Arabian Investment Fund so we're now the richest sports club in the world - the fund is worth £350 billion !!
Crazy !!
Newcastle united arab emirates
For a look at just how many divisions there can be, in England it goes to around tier 20/21. Something around 7-8000 clubs are theoretically able to win the top championship after a few years of promotions (well ok 2 decades of promotions if you are at the very bottom). There are around 500 divisions inside those tiers. The top 5 tiers are all fully professional except for one or two clubs in the 5th tier, so around 110 professional clubs in what is a tiny country by area.

I play in a mostly Hispanic soccer league in a medium sized US city. There are 4 divisions in the city that use a very similar format. We bounced in and out of the top league. I did it for fun but being paid 10-20 bucks a game and sometimes larger amounts for being the top of the second division is cool. These leagues are very competitive. My friends from high school were stuck at the bottom of the 4th division. They had to pay for jerseys and referees in that division. We had our provided by sponsors..
Now i'm interested. Which city is this?
@@martinottesen1053 The fields are all within 30 minutes of Grand Rapids, MI. So pretty much southwest Michigan. We have a large amount of migrant farm workers that spend the summer farming in SW MI.
It is such a strange experience to have no ability to talk to anyone. The coaches son would translate some stuff and tell me what was being said. I wish I hadn't gotten hurt and had to stop playing.
@@Thewhitetile cool
"I wonder if a football field is bigger than a basketball court"...mate really? You've literally seen both things 😂
Relegation could be a disaster depending of many things. My team, for example, is a small one that got lucky 8 years ago and was able to get to the spanish first division. After 8 season we got relegated to the second division but it was not a disaster since the people who manage the club didnt went crazy and didnt invest too much money in the years in the first division, mantaining a good balance. Other clubs went much much worst when they went relegated and there are cases where teams just dissapeared because they went broke and they could not recover because the debt was too big. So in "soccer", specially in the big european divisions you have to be very careful with the finances.
Yeah there are two theories - don't go mad and when you get relegated you survive, or take the risk of spending big in the knowledge that you might either go bust if relegated, or at least have not enough money to prevent further relegations
First soccer lesson: play right-footed. play left-footed / put on wax, take off wax, The Karate Kid. Soccer coach since 1982. Ciao
"you got a whole country behind you"
No you don't.
This is only about club football. Which is something different than the national teams, were countries play each-other.
At clubs players from all kinds of countries play together in a team. The club is the employer of the pro player, players can sign at any club they want, for any salary. Every club just tries to contract the best players they can afford. These clubs play in their national league, their national cup(s) and if good enough, in the European cup(s), like the Champions league.
Beside all this you have competitions between national teams. Players from any club can be invited to play for their national team, which is an honor. In German national team only Germans play, in the English team only English players, In the USA national team only Americans and so on. Every 4 year there is a world cup, for which all the countries in the world try to qualify, and the ones who do, play at the world cup tournament held somewhere over the course of a few weeks. Also on every continent there is a cup, in Europe this is the European Cup, also held every 4 years (held in years between World Cups).
So for example: Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a Portuguese player who plays for Manchester United in England. With Man. United he plays in the Premier league, The FA cup, the league cup and the Champion league. He also plays in the Portuguese national team, with all other Portuguese players who get invited. Paul Pogba also plays at Man. united, but he is French, so he plays for the French national team. So Pogba and Ronaldo play in the same team at their Club but when they play for their national team they play in different teams.
10:40 yes, there are teams that have won it all! look up football doubles, trebles, quadruples, quintuples, sextuples. barcelona & bayern munich have won 6 trophies in a single year.
5:18 "there might be another division beside the 2de division" most hilarious comment for people knowing the answer to this.
There are 2235 soccer leagues in Germany.
In theory if you keep losing and relegating, you will end up at the lowest level league, and vice versa if you keep winning promotion every year you will end up at the highest possible level.
In Germany the 3 highest leagues are single leagues, after that you get parallel leagues. The highest level is the 1st Bundesliga, 2nd highest level is the 2nd bundesliga, then 3rd, at the 4th highest level you have 5 regional leagues (west, east etc.), each lower level there are more and more parallel leagues, this continues all the way down to the 13rd level in Germany. On all these 13 levels combined there are a total of 2235 leagues, with 31,645 teams in them.
Only the highest leagues are professionals, the lower leagues are amateurs.
The football pitch is a lot bigger than a basketball court. We do play basketball here it's just more an amateur thing, not as big. But it's common to play at high school for example.
Appreciate your comment family
And just imagine this whole process being replicated in every other continent
Big continental cup, many national leagues with promotion and relegation system and a national cup
That's every year, with the only difference being the calendar
In Brazil for example, the teams from the first and second divisions play from January until November or even begining of December every year
Yep that's what football Club had to face bro. Ain't no such thing like tanking for better draft picks or you intentionally lose a game just to make your rival failed to go to playoff like the eagles did a couple seasons ago. And to put into perspective, winning super Bowl for new York Jets was less surprising than winning a football league with this model if your team was underdog. So as the previous comments said, you need to check out clueless American guides for premier League video. That video was very informative and insightful even for a football fans like me
in Europe and in the rest of the world the only thing that changes are the tournament,there is a famous youtube video of an Argentine fan that sees's how his team River Plate (Argentina ) is going to relegation.
I wish NBA teams played European teams in some big tournament, I wanna see the Lakers playing in a Serbian/Greek court
Flares and actual chants (instead of defense defense) would scare the lakers players
Thank you. It is funny when nab said they are champions 🏆 of the world but they dnt play with other European team .
In Italy there are Serie A, Serie B, Serie C, Serie D, Eccellenza, Promozione, Prima Categoria, Seconda Categoria, Terza Categoria. 9 leagues. For a total of around 7200 different teams.
Also there is a big playoff in England Championship promoted as the richest game in sport. This is the final for the 3rd team to qualify for the English Premier league. The winner gets a share of the $12.57 Billion that the top division clubs in England
we take fotbal serious here :D damn, is lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
West Ham United fan here COYI
Here in Spain there are like 9 divisions. I can create a team right know with friends , and If I win the league 9 yrs in row I can end up playing against Real Madrid, I would need some money, coz from the 4 division up you need some cash standards, a stadium and it starts to get professional, But you get the point, there's no impediment for any team to make it to the top if they're good.
And btw only 4 top teams have won league, cup and champions league in the same season, the treble is called. Barça, Manchester United, Ajax and Inter Milan. Real Madrid never, but they're the only team that defended the champions league titles, they won it 3 times in a row. 4 times in 5 years
@Naim Bensaid: If you count Ajax, you must also count Celtic and Eindhoven, since they also won a european treble when the Champion’s League did not yet exist.
On the other hand, you didn’t count Bayern which is the only club alongside Barça to win the „modern“ treble twice, last time in the preceeding season (2020).
Overall there’s 7 clubs that have won the european treble.
According to American measurements, the size of a football field is approximately one football field.
