  1. A lot of football fans also feel like the quality of the game has gone down. You have oil empires buying clubs and they get tons of money to buy the best players while other teams who can't afford those players and their wages are left out to dry essentially. Some leagues are also very corrupt. It has become predictable which teams win the leagues or even the ucl now

  5. Almost every soccer league in the world, except for some(MLS, Liga MX(Mexico), and leagues that don't have enough teams or are too small, all have promotion and relegation. There are instances that your team can be relegated out of the professional leagues and lose so much money that they can disappear. It has happened to some clubs in Europe, and some historic ones at that. Also you're not only affecting the club and the owners, but the town or city the team is in. Some of these clubs are the lifeline for commerce in a lot of these places and bring a lot of money for businesses during a match day. And when there are famous teams coming in to play some of the smaller clubs, they bring fans, tv crews, and exposure and money to the clubs. You should watch Welcome To Wrexham. It's a series that explains everything really well and it also gives you a glimpse of how a club affects the people and the community.

  7. Now the relegation really has the advantage of making things heated and passionate. In fact due to the financial dominance of some clubs it has become the most emotional aspect so some leagues.
    However in all fairness it should be also mentioned that things get heated often when a very traditional club with a lot of history gets relegated.
    In Hamburg they threw chairs on the court, in some instances the fans nearly stormed the pitch and in the case of very hardcore fanbasis (especially those who also suffer from their fair share of skinheads) like Dynamo Dresden, when they were relegated from the 2nd division to the 3rd division their fans put up a huge banner stating that they all have one day to leave the city (implying that they would be lynched otherwise).
    Now obviously it ended there multiple players returned the next season and they got promoted again but this is just to show that the increased amount of passion comes with it‘s drawbacks. It often is the clubs future if not entire existence that is at risk and it leads to people being very passionate about their clubs.

    Now personally I still think this is more than worth it compared to the very quiet US franchising system where teams constantly swap location for tax exemptions but still in all fairness I think it is only fair to mention these drawbacks.

  9. For American sports fans getting interested in soccer the Champions League is probably the best place to start, and maybe even just the "playoffs" (knockout rounds) which have just started (February) and will run until May. The games are midweek, Tue/Wed/Thu, evenings in Europe although the time difference might be a bit awkward.

    You will see the biggest and best teams in the world, the best players and the very highest standard of play. You will mostly see the same teams every year, but with some variations year to year. If after a while you find yourself drawn to a team, then start to follow their national league – ie Spain for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Germany for Bayern Munich or Borussia Dortmund, Italy for Milan or Juventus, France for PSG, Nederlands for Ajax, and UK for Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool.

  11. the cup system is very interesting. In Germany, for example, we currently have a team from the third division in the cup semi-finals, who have already beaten two teams from the first division in their previous games, including the reigning record champions. A team with a market value of 6.6 million euros knocked the champions with a market value of 976 million out of the cup. a david versus goliath story.

  12. The thing is in England at least the "pro" level goes to the 6th level down semi pro to the 8th true amateur levels only start at 9 and 10th level where there are hundreds of teams the levels go down all the way the local pub "bar" teams at level 14ish

  13. if you like underdogs stories the best underdog story in football is of Leicester city in england, they want to make a Hollywood movie on it, you should do a reaction video to it =D

  15. Actually you understood almost everything. That's why there is a huge fan base. There are a lot of games in different tournaments. And if you watch the latest World Cup, where Messi was declared the undiscussed GOAT, the expectations and audience around the globe is insane

  16. The NFL getting safer for the players (in turn neutralizing "smash-mouth" Football), it pushed me to find a "soft" sport that was more entertaining and back in 2012 I found a game where Celtic upset Barcelona in their Champions League group stage at Celtic Park. You could've swore all of Scotland just won the World Cup (of course Rangers fans were not happy about it). That passion, the just pure fun of singing and chanting for 90 minutes to give that added motivation to the players made realize I have a new favorite sport to watch (never mind the fact I never played the sport).

    I would suggest you follow the English Premier League (you know, english speaking country plus every game is available to us thanks to NBC's exclusive rights deal) and the UEFA Champions League starting now to see if you're still interested (all of the UCL games are also available thanks to CBS's exclusive rights deal).

    Also do not feel the need to pick a favorite club so quickly- give yourself time to know about all the clubs before you decide. If you go the humble route and pick Burnley (JJ Watt is now an investor of Burnley) or Sheffield United- good luck trying to watch 2nd Tier Football next season. Although if you pick a "Big 6" club, get ready to get the hate you already get from Packers/Vikings/Lions fans, but 100 times more toxic and from the every fan in the league, not just their local rivals.

  17. Relegation can sometimes hurt a lot, but at the same time going up is amazing. This season there have been some great stories. In england gor example there's luton town. A team which in 2018 was still in the third tier and about 10 years ago wasn't even in a professional league has just arrived to the english first tier (the premier league). Then there's the story of estrela da amadora (my town't club) here in portugal, which was a constant in the first tier of portuguese football and once won the cup, but about 15 years ago the club was taken over by a company which only cared about the cash and destroyed the club, resulting in the team declaring bankrupcy and closing. About 10 years ago a group of fans decided to start the team again from scratch, starting in the lowest tier once again and fans started supporting it as a successor. That new version of estrela da amadora has since gotten back to the first tier, and might be joined in a few seasons by Os Belenenses, which is an even crazier story of another historic team in which there was a big disagreement between the board of directors and the fans, and as a result of it the team was split into two, with the board keeping the players and the access to 1st tier, and the fans keeping the name, the logo and the stadium, but having to start all over again from the bottom tier. The board of directors team (which now has the name B S.A.D. which is funny as hell) has in the last couple years fallen from the 1st tier to the 3rd tier, while the fans one is now competing in the second tier, and although they are currently last place and might be relegated to the 3rd tier again they do seem to be able to get back to the first tier in not too long.

  19. Also once every 4 years there is a world cup where nations send in teams comprised of the best players from each nation. Its not the top team from each country but the best players from several clubs

  20. The Domestic Cups are INSANE. Recently, the Germany's reigning champion of 10 straight season, got knocked out by a team in 4th division.
    Real Madrid, the kings or Europe, got knocked out by a 3rd division team.

  22. Most countries have about 3-4 pro-level divisions (tiers). From there, you go to semi-pro to full amateur at like the 8-9th division. In the English Premier League, players in the top 4 divisions earn really well.
