    Luton Town are in the Premier League this year. They were in the top division (1st Division which was renamed as Premier League in 1992) and fell into the National League over a couple of decades. They then pulled a miracle and went from National League to Premier League in 7 seasons

      England is the exception there though. Their second division is wild. Belgium is currently the 8th best league in Europe and people move from our teams to play in the English second division.
      England has a seriously good grassroots system. Players of 18 that fail in the top division of England and are released can just go "fucking fine, I'll play in the third division and make a good living instead." and those teams in the third division can easily pick up some fine youngsters this way.
      In most other countries the people who fail at the top level stop playing football because there is no easy alternative locally.

    One big misconception a lot of people have is also that "oh most games end in a result like 0:1 or 2:1 so it must be boring" when that actually is one thing that makes it so interesting. In important games it really can drive you to biting your nails because one single goal, one single minute can decide between a victory or a loss and even weaker teams can get a lucky goal after sucessfully defending the whole game.

    6:49 The goal keeper is technically perfectly allowed to join the other player on the field all the way to the opponent side, but this never happens because unlike a hockey put it is easy to lob a ball high and far so if the keeper isn't home and the back player have pushed to far forward then no one is here to prevent a succesfully aimed shot to score. It is way too risky so the keeper usually stay put.

      1) there's a limit to amount of subs.

      Not exactly, in hockey goalie cannot cross centre red line without getting penalty. Also even if it would be possible its equally as easy as in football to score if the goalie is too far away. It might seem to be hard to shoot puck high in the air, but it really isnt so hard. Just rarely used because it usually isnt useful, unless in certain situations. Like clearing the puck out of defensive zone, or trying to score while opponent is playing without goalie (with one extra player.)

    One thing that can be added when it comes to the FA cup in England - The Premier league teams do not enter this tournament until the Third round. Before that, all the lower league teams and non league teams battle it out, and it gets more intense for each round. You get the picture. The real beauty of this Cup is that every year without exeption, you have some major upsets, like in 2015 when Chelsea - multiple time premier league winners and Champions league winners, with a Billionaire owner - lost 2-4 at home to Bradford - a team playing in League one (third level). They earned a place in the last 16. The FA cup is magical 😊✨️

    The relegation battles are what make football outside of the states so exciting, nail biting but also emotional and saddening. I've seen my team relegated twice down to league 1 and promoted twice. I had to wait over two decades to see us back in the premier league. Once relegated you often have all your best players poached because you can no longer afford their salaries. An unless you can yoyo back up the following season, you could be stuck for years trying to get back up.
    We're only half way through this season and I have no nails left. It's going to be a painful relegation fight again.

      all the other positions that they explained (defense, attack, center, left, right, etc) are *no rules,* but only *describing the strategies* of the teams. EVERY player is allowed to play on ANY position on the field and contribute with defensive AND offensive actions all the time. this was worded a bit badly in the original video and confused many reactors who thought that eg only strikers could attack and defenders only could defend.
      the only exception is the goalkeeper who on one hand is just one player like the others (can play anywhere on the field), but on the other hand has some additional rights and protection (ONLY while he is at or near his own goal in those marked areas).

    @krashd 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    A lot of football/soccer is pretty self explanatory, it's not a difficult sport to learn, I think the only rule that stumps a lot of people is the offside rule which was introduced to make the game more fair - in a one-on-one situation between the goalkeeper and an opposing player the opposing player will almost always win so if opposing players could just stand around next to the goalkeeper waiting for the ball they would almost always score a goal when the ball reached them and the game would quickly become a farce with scores like 146 goals versus 123 goals. Instead there must always be at least one defending player between his own goalkeeper and an opposing player in order to balance out that equation, because if a player has to always get past an opposing player before it is just him and the goalkeeper it makes scoring goals a lot more challenging - and a lot more worthwhile.
    The offside rule is explained as this, as simply as I can put it: When someone who is likely to score (ie, the player closest to the opponents goal) gets the ball passed to him he _MUST_ be onside, meaning there must always be at least one opposing player between him and the goal in order for that opposing player to stand a realistic chance of stopping him. However once the ball has left the feet of the player passing the ball to him he can then sprint past any defenders in order to receive the ball, but he must _ALWAYS_ have an opponent between him and the goal when the pass is first initiated.
    This is why goals from assists (an assist is when one player gives the ball to a teammate for that player to score, as opposed to a player doing all the work himself) will usually involve the receiving player sprinting to get to the ball that has been intentionally passed much further upfield - the person passing him the ball knows that he has to stay "onside" of at least one defender but also that the player can then sprint past those defender(s) once the ball is in motion. This is known as "passing in to space" and why the final pass leading to a goal is one where the player making the assist seems to be passing the ball to nobody, he is in fact hoping that his teammate will take the initiative and "run on" on to the ball bypassing any defenders.
    Heh, I said I was going to simplify it but it really is a rule that takes a bit of explaining, but once you understand the offside rule everything else is a piece of cake, it's the only rule in the game that trips up newcomers but without the offside rule games would just look stupid with each team having at least one player shadowing the opponents goalkeeper at all times and scoring easy goals every 30 seconds.
    ADDENDUM: There is a tactic in football known as the "offside trap" and this is where the defenders on a team keep tabs on where the opposing forwards are at all times and intentionally try to catch them out by stealthily moving further and further away from their own goalkeeper so that the opposing forward(s) are constantly offside, this tactic has two upsides, one is the intended result in that anyone on the opposing team passing the ball to a forward will trigger the offside rule, the other is that the more players you have further up the field the more goal scoring opportunities you have - if all four (or five, or three) of your defenders are upfield then they can contribute more to the game than they would if they stayed close to their own goal as pure defenders.
    What is the downside of utilising the offside trap? The fact that it can backfire spectacularly, if the opponents forwards realise you are exploiting the offside trap with your defenders keeping tabs on their location they just might start keeping tabs on your defenders in return in order to make sure they stay onside and if one of their players manages to pass the ball to them without triggering the offside rule you are shit out of luck as all of your defenders race back towards their own goal hoping to stop you, or that you miss your shot, or that their keeper can save your shot. But you won't miss, you have the ball at your feet and nothing between you and their goalkeeper...
    If the opposing team have very quick attacking players the offside trap is sucide.
    I played as a goalkeeper in high school and there are few things scarier in football than a one-on-one, I preferred trying to save penalties, you have more time to think. As such we tend to hate it when the manager/coach utilises the offside trap.

    It is very rare for the goalkeeper to go outfield, but yes it is allowed. The reason its not done is because it is very easy for player to smack the ball far and high and when there is *nobody* back in goal, it can offer the opposing team an easy goal.
    Usually when a goalkeeper does move up the pitch its because they are pushing a heavy attack from a free kick (say a team mate if fould on the halfway line, the keeper might take the kick so all 10 outfeild players can push forward) or, in rare instances, they may head up to the opposing teams box with everyone else.
    This usually only happens in knockout games when the team is a goal down. In the dying seconds of thegame a corner might be awarded and so the team goes all-in with one final throw of the dice. They push *everyone* forward - keeper included, in the hopes that someone will get a goal - and it has happened before. It's rare but there are times the goalkeeper has scored the goal.

    There has been teams that've fallen down from the premier league (or equivalent) to the lower leagues and made it back up, but that was when it wasn't that much money involved in the world of football. Nowadays it is almost impossible for a team in the highest league to go down, lets say 3 divisions, because of the amount of money they get from simply being in the highest league. A good example of this is the premier league and the second highest league (efl championship) in england.
    It is almost always the same 3-6 teams that go up and down between the premier league and efl championship. This because they are not good enough to stay in the top league but still gets enough money from that 1-2 seasons to be able to sign players and managers to get back up after being relageted.
    This continues because the teams that always stays in the premier league gets such a ridicoulus amount of money every season that they also improve their teams making it so that the improvement of the newly promoted teams isn't enough for long. In england these teams are known as ''the big Six'' and are Manchester City FC, Manchester United FC, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC and Tottenham FC.

    So these days a player in the starting lineup of a top 6 premier league team will typically cost 50-100 million dollars. The highest valued players are valued at around 200million dollars.
    These top players earn 250000-500000 dollars pr week from their clubs and then they have all kinds of personal sponsorships ontop of that.

    I still find it funny all of the people saying Mourinho is a defensive manager yet he still has the record for the most goals scored in the Spanish League in one season (believe it was 101 or 104 can't remember), and was actually the only manager to take the title form Guardiola's Barcelona (to me the best squad that ever existed in football albeit sometimes boring to watch as they would have 70-80% posession in every match). This doofus to which you are reacting says he "parked the bus". Thats not even remotely correct, sure he was a defensive minded manager but he would always try to get as many people forward as he couldn when he regained posession

    Yes, Goalkeeper can run where ever he wants on the field and play as regular player, but then Goal will be empty, cos only Keeper can grab the ball with his hands, also outside the Goalkeeper border he can't use hands anymore, only in his area, but he is a regular player as any other in terms of going forward and playing in attack (btw, sometimes Keepers do go forward to help team, mostly when corner kicks happen and there is not much time left and they need a goal to score, some keepers were very good at penalty kicks, so they also moved to enemies goal to do stuff).

    My team which is currently right at the top of the championship (2nd level) and favorites for promotion played in the premiership for years, then went down, back up, down again then stayed down, this as you mention resulted in several good players transferring elsewhere so they went down again to legue 1 (3rd tier) for 1 season...
    They then spent a few years in the championship before getting promoted to the premiership, fighting a massive religation battle before performing a miricle and winning the premier league trophy the next year! They then did well for the couple of years winning the FA Cup once. But last season they had a poor season and went down again.

    About the falling and getting back up to first division football, here in Portugal we have a very special case of it happening (well not yet but eventually). Belenenses back in the day was considered the 4th biggest club in Portugal (which btw is a very top heavy league, completely dominated by "The Big Three" - Benfica, Porto and Sporting), and after selling their club to private owners, and a bunch of shit happening between both, the club and fans split from the owners, having to go back to the bottom of portuguese football (amateur regional leagues), while the "official" Belenenses, renamed to B-Sad remained in the First Division. The amazing thing is they managed to be promoted every year since then and are currently in the second division trying to fight back up to the first. To me the most beautiful thing, even as a supporter of another club, is that they still get higher attendance than a lot of First Division Team because the fans stuck around with them through all these years.

You'd have Bayern Munich. Then pause. Continue to pause. And Dortmund and a few others. The competition among big clubs in the Premier League in England goes deeper. Although interestingly Manchester City has won 6 of the last 7 PL titles. Which would possibly make you think they're no different than the Bundesliga or La Liga, EXCEPT Manchester City is only sixth in the Premier League in terms of spending on players the past several years!! The other top 6 or 7 or so PL clubs spend big. They are big clubs. My favorite club, struggling Manchester UNITED, has soent very big the last several years but finished in 8th place this year. Such is the competitiveness of the Premier League. Which makes Manchester City's run that much more impressive.

    you seem like a very open minded guy, i like it. yes, the goalie can be on the field as an extra player like in hockey, but its crazy risky because of the field size. to run back to his own goal to defend is just too long. but if its a kick out game and you are loosing, you will see this happen in the last minutes, mostly if you know its the last corner kick for your team or last freekick and after that the game is probably over, the goalie comes out to be one more field player. and sometimes it works and the goalie scores the important last minute goal.
