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
Oh wow.. That's pretty insane!
and now that Everton have had 10 points deducted for breaking Financial rules Luton are currently outside of the relegation zone
@@jonsouth1545 Everton will get out, imo it's between Luton and Bournemouth for 17th. As a Hammer I'm hoping Reece Burke stays in the Prem, and Kenilworth Road plays host to premier league football in 25, one of the last 'proper' grounds left.
On the flip side there is Oldham Athletic. They were an original Premier League team and now compete in the National League.
You might also wanna look into the story of Wimbledon, nichknamed the 'crazy gang'. They came from the lower tiers up to the premier league, and managed to beat Liverpool to win the FA cup. @@bigkevreacts
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.
well said. it's all about the build up. the art of attack and the art of defense. even small chances close to box are so exciting.
Exactly, it’s part of the reason I can also enjoy hockey even though I’m not a massive fan of it.
And on the flip side the high scoring is what makes basketball so incredibly boring to me.
The matches between teams in danger of relegation are oftentimes among the most intense matches of the year.
Fun Fact, in England's top 4 leagues (Premier, Championship, League 1 and League 2) contains 92 professional clubs. So the other 608 entrants into the FACup are semi professional or purely amateur
And the highest transfer fee paid for a player was PSG signing Neymar from Barcelona for over £200 MILLION
That is a fun fact 😀
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.
plenty of goalkeepers join the attack if they're losing and have a corner in injury time. ua-cam.com/video/V0ziSba1d4M/v-deo.html
@@M1ggins Yes on a corner it is more common.
@@enomiellanidrac9137 yes. Schmeichel did that for Aston Villa back i 2001 ua-cam.com/video/9YRNJV5RL5A/v-deo.html
he also created some disturbance at 1-1 goal against Bayern Münich in the ECL final i 1998
But plenty of other keepers have done similar things.
But the way I heard the question was: "Can the keeper be replaced by a field player from the bench", and to that question the answer is no. Remember:
1) there's a limit to amount of subs.
2) once a player has been benched, he cannot re-enter the field
3) a player can only be substituted during a break and with the refs' (field ref+ assistant ref on the side line) permissions
Also in hockey it's a penalty for the goalie to cross centre ice
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.)
Only one team has gone from the Premier League to the National League. My team Oldham were founder members of the Premier League and two years ago became the first ex-premier league team to be relegated to the National League :(
That's utter nonsense about lower leagues not being seen outside of the Premier League The 2nd tier in England is the 6th biggest league in Europe by crowds and national tv covers games in all of the top 5 divisions in England.
Good to know 🙂
@@bigkevreacts
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.
Our 2. Bundesliga has full stadions and more audience than some 1. leauges in other countries
However internationally are you likely to hear about teams in the second division of any country other than your own?
Yeah that line made me angry the Championship is pretty good.
In football, the goalkeeper is the only essential position. So both teams must have a goalkeeper at all times, he can, althought, run foward and score, but he still is a goalkeeper
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).
@@Anson_AKB True
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 😊✨️
13:50 The trick is that IF a smaller team plays a bigger team in the cup just the interest in the big teams game might involve a lot of people watching the game live or on TV and it can completely turn the smaller teams financial picture due to card sales and royalties
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.
Yeah I love the relegation concept. Wish it was used in more sports.
About goalies going up as an extra players, yes! they totally do and many legendary goalies have dozens or even more than a hundred goals in their careers! There are compilations on youtube for legendary saves and goalies who scored a bunch.
Cheers from Brazil, this video was very euro centric but make no mistake we won the most World Cups, our Top 10 or 15 legendary players are better and crazier to watch before you even begin counting the other countries so make sure to check out some of our legends, they really shaped the game worldwide.
I definitely plan on seeking out more legends of the game.
7:1
but thats not what he means , u do need to have a goalkeeper by rules
The fsct you never heared from dortmund breakes my heart. BVB Borussia!!! Also this video shouldve at lest talked about the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A from Brazil. If it would compete in Europe it would easily fight with France and Italy for the fourth place of the best leagues. To me its: Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga.. The other places are up to debate. Italy, Brazil, France.
you cannot pull a goalkeeper off and send another attacker on like in the NHL. You can have the goalkeeper charge upwards if you are desperate or even swap them with an outfield player, but can't leave an empty net
As a portuguese and huge Mourinho fan id like to say - Its not that he dosent want possession - he JUST wants to win, no matter the costs
16:28 Trebble just happened in England. Manchester City won 3 tournaments last season.
Yeah, Just. Against Inter Milan Who themselves won a treble in 2010
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.
Next year I expect they will finish mid table in the premiership
If you're relegated and have a star player. You can loan them to top teams in top leagues until you go back to the league.
That's interesting. I hadn't heard that yet.
If you're relegated, star players will probably be bought by higher league teams. Nobody wants to play in lower leagues unless they have really strong ties with that team (like they grew up in that city or something).
Most player will ask to be sell! and most forget but who stay end up be legend
@@schemmy01 sometimes the club will have financial troubles and have to sell the star player , or the player is willing to be sold to help the club.
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).
Some of the more exciting games I have seen in Leage football have been when teams fight for their survival in the league. I live in Sweden, and this happens also in the Ice Hockey League. I'm more of an Ice Hockey person myself. I lived in a city whos team was often on the cusp of not making it, when they did it was great, when thwy didn't the battle was on to get back up again.
Då du bor i Leksand?! Jag med 👍😎
I'm also Swedish and love both sports. I've always been an IFK guy, but when IFK Göteborg was in danger of relegation this season, I started watching their matches a lot more. I listened to the match against Hammarby on the radio and I had to stop the car for about 5 minutes to listen to the penalty in the last minute. Funny how a team can beat or at least be even with the top teams but then go up against a much smaller team that is further down in the standings, or even down an entire league, and lose.
To answer your question about the goalkeeper, the answer is simply no, it is not forbidden for the goalkeeper to go forward, but it is simply not advisable. There have been goals that went over 90% of the field and the goalkeeper was too far in front of the own goal. There have also been goals from goalkeepers who have shot from one goal to the other, or the team was behind, there have been goalkeepers who have then scored a goal on the opponent, but that is not normal. You also have to remember that the goalkeeper is the only one who is allowed to touch the ball with his hand in his own goal area. If a player from your own team touches the ball with his hand in the goal area, the opponent receives a penalty. Yes, there have been teams that have come back to the first division, but usually the loss of money, just as an example, in Germany is the relegation from the Bundesliga to the 2nd Liega with a loss of 40 Millions connected. When something like that happens, you either need a very powerful donor or a very good youth team to get back up.
Another reason for so much passing around are teams that just park the bus in their own half and do nothing but defend, you have to pass the ball around to bait or drawn them out of position to create space.
Park the bus is a champion winning tactic.
@@kornaros96 True but it makes games really boring to watch
In germany for example Darmstadt 98 was in Bundesliga and were relegated to 5th league and plays now Bundesliga again. It took more than 10 years
number of subs has actually been raised to 5, but they have to been done in maximum 3 times (like 2+2+1). This change was made during the Covid where many teams suddenly were missing half a team due to a positive test. But to reduce time waste it was stated that substitutions was only allowed to be made 3 times pr team in a game.
I don't know soccer! I only know the sport that is called football all over the world (except for a small island between the Atlantic and the Pacific).
@Kelsea2002- First off…soccer is a term that Europeans called it for a while. We didn’t invent the name.
But the real question is…why do Europeans care that this “small island” doesn’t GAF about your football? We have our football, you have yours. We don’t care that you don’t like ours. Why can’t you be happy with the rest of the world liking yours? The only reason most Americans knew the US women’s team was even in the World Cup at all was because of that idiot Rapinoe and her gang of losers turned Americans against our own team. Hopefully it carries on in the future and we boycott them even more. Heck we’ll even boycott the men’s teams just in case they sympathize with the women’s team lol.
There is a saying in football, offense wins games, defensive wins tites.
3:15 an NBA court fits in one of the 18 yard (goalie) box. With room for the bench at the ends
Little fact for you. London's Arsenal have the record for being in the English top division since 1919 but they weren't promoted on merit like every other team in the top division. It's rumoured that they bribed the Football Association. Arsenal are also the first team to have numbers and names on their shirts and also the first team to have floodlights at their stadium. They're also the first club to sell-out their stadium for a women's match.
I recommend supporting Arsenal.
The video has a major error about release clauses.
These are only normal in a few leagues, especially in Spain where it is required.
17:59 the most expensive transfer of all time is neymar, where PSG paid Barcelona 222 million euros to sign him
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.
Usually videos about stuff like this made by Americans are totally clueless but this is really good. I love the casual delivery, it's so easy to follow.
Man City just won the treble, nobody's won all four of those at once.

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.
Thanks for clarifying 👍
That said, soccer actually has a fairly small pitch compared to some other football codes, such as Gaelic or Australian.
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.
Pedri a barcelona player has release clause of 1 billion dollars. The club is basically saying he is not for sale with that release clause.
Love the no playoff format. every game is so important. every game is tense among the top teams trying to win the league and super tense trying to stay in the league. some of the most exciting games are the battles between teams trying to survive.
It’s 5 subs a game now, they changed it to help with the amount of matches played today and to try to lighten the load in players
The European governing body that covers 'all the european nations is called U.E.F.A. meaning the Union European Football Association ... Our World Football governing is called F.I.F.A. meaning Federation International Football Association, as The World Name for The World Game is FOOTBALL.
You Americans should watch the Brazilian league this season. Probably the most thrilling in the world right now.
You can pull a goalie out and join the attack. It's usually only happens in set pieces like corner kicks or free kicks in the last few minutes of the game. The problem with that is most players are perfectly capable of scoring from their half of the field.
The FA Cup can also be a huge source of income for a small club, if they are drawn to an away game vs a much bigger club, and even if they're trashed; the gate receipts are split between the two (after the FA takes a small cut for admin costs and price money).
Oldham Athletic are a founding member of the Premier League who now currently play in the National League
Yeah so each country has its own big national league, it has its own cup competitions, and some of the teams even make it to the european championships. All these take place at the same time.
If it’s a world cup or other national team cup year, add those games on top of all the above too
We don't use scarfs in South America.
These videos focus too much ONLY on European football. Check the nationality of top players in Europe. 1/4 are probably South Americans. And Argentina is the last world cup champion
With only 9 countries, South America has 10 World Cup titles.
Thanks for sharing that 😀
@@bigkevreacts 10 World Cup titles don't sound much... Until you remember they only happen every 4 years. Europe has 12 titles.
Ps, we use scarfs in southern South America, where it gets cold and frosts are common in the winter. I meant we don't use scarfs in football, like Europeans do, with club shields,etc lol
one thing that US people tend to forget, is that this is championships (Hence the word) between clubs from different nations, just as if the best teams in the US battle against the best teams in Mexico and Canada... the best within their own leagues... ... and those are not franchises, just clubs (700 just in the UK, for instance, each on their own level. The winner of each country´s league, then have a match against the winners of the other countries' leagues.... And that's just a club level, not a national team level... Football is intense.
Hi Kev. Your namesake here from England. I have seen a couple of your music reactions and was interested to see that you had reacted to this. Football in the UK (and to be fair, in Europe as well) has a rich football tradition going back over 130 years in some cases. Since the inauguration of the English Premier Legue in 1992, football is now all about money and the chase for European glory. UEFA (the European governing body ) re-branded the old 'European Cup' and re-named it the 'Champions League' in 1994, re-formatting the competition from a straight knockout to a series of mini-leagues, where prize money was given for each win that teams were able to achieve. Before this, prize money was awarded for reaching the Final, and the kudos for even entering the competition in the first place was far greater than any financial reward. With UEFA's re-branding, overnight the competition became a financial behemoth, and when the competition was expanded to allow the top nations to enter as many as four clubs each season, the domestic leagues in Europe, became a race to see who could secure a Champion's League berth each year. We now have a massive financial disparity between those clubs who have reached the UCL, and those that haven't. In my opinion, it has killed the game. Take care
Thanks for sharing. I love learning all these little details 😀
I'm not a big football fan but this transition from something that was initially 'grass roots', where grounds, players and supporters were once so local and a part of a community, has now become very commercialised and globalised, intrigues me. I understand that it's called 'progress' but it feels like its soul has been lost along the way.
You see the leagues down to level 5. Keep going down another 6 levels and you'll find my local football team. We get crowds of 30 people most weeks 😁
omg that outro got me xD
The FA cup is a knockout tournament. Premier league teams enter after a series of knockout stages have been played by the lower level leagues. So they dont play the 700 teams.
the worst part of relegation isn't just losing your talent it can result in losing so much income the club is no longer financially viable which just spirals from there
12:10
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. These teams have basically been in the premier league since it was founded and are therefor amongst the richest clubs in the world.
Prior to the English Premier League starting in 1992 the top division was called the Football League First Division. The 1988 FA Cup final was the 107th final of the FA Cup. It took place on Saturday, 14 May 1988 at Wembley Stadium and was contested between Wimbledon and Liverpool, the dominant English club side of the 1980s and newly crowned Football League First Division Champions.
In one of the biggest shocks in the entire history of the competition, Lawrie Sanchez' solitary goal of the game won Wimbledon their only FA Cup final win in their history; they had just completed their second season in the Football League First Division and had only been in the Football League for a total of 11 years.
Other non top division teams have also won the FA Cup, notably Tottenham Hotspur, in the replay at Burnden Park, Bolton on 27 April 1901, Spurs won 3-1 with goals from Cameron, Smith and another by Brown. By winning the FA Cup, Spurs became the only non-League club to have achieved the feat since the formation of the Football League in 1888.
Second-flight Sunderland created a huge upset in the early 1970s against (then) top team Leeds United, too.
All player contracs has a release clause. And if they have it can been crazy high.
by law it is compulsory in Spain, but in England it is optional.
When Rangers went into liquidation, they dropped from the Scottish Premier League into the bottom tier, then were promoted thrice to go back into the premier. But it is generally uncommon. Rangers is one of the big two in Scotland though and has legions of fans, and they weren't relegated as such.
In England we pretty much have a football team for every little town so ye we have a lot of leauges
To extend on top teams moving down to the bottom and back up, nobody reaches actually the bottom as mostly small village clubs play there against their neighbour villages a big club from a city is never gonna reach that level but teams fell down quite a few devisions and got back up quite a bit, not the the very top as far as I know.
My local team 5 minute walk play i fa cup. For them to win it they would need to win agsinst 14 teams (14 rounds ) including replays for draws. There's even 6 rounds before league teams are included n 8 before the premier n championship teams enter
13:03
there are also parallel tournaments.
They might play 1 game every weekend in their domestic league, but there's also a national championship in most countries (where teams from multiple leagues fight for a trophy).
There are also international tournaments:
-between clubs (on tuesday, wednesday, thursday, so schedules don't clash), every year:
="Champions League" (best european teams);
="Europa League" (lesser, weaker teams).
-between national teams, where a lot of those same players are drafted to play for their national team. Often times, qualifiers happen during the leagues' season:
= continental: "Euro", "Copa America", "Asian Cup", "African Cup of Nations", etc;
= worldwide: "Football Olympics" and the end-all be-all: "World Cup".
Thanks for sharing 👍
we always have a goalie. if all subs are used then the Keeper (goalie) gets sent off (it does happen not very often), then an outfield player will take the keeper's shirt and defend the goal.
Nowadays, since Covid there are 5 subs instead of 3.
Luton from top to 5th leagie in 20 years n 10 years feom 5th league to premier league. Pretty impressive n the premier league didn't exist then in 1991 last time they were in the top league
No one has ever done the Quadruple. Man City and Man Utd have both done the "official" Treble - Premier League, Champions League and FA cup. Liverpool has done an "all cup" treble - EFL Cup, FA Cup, Europa League.
As yet no team has performed the quadruple in English football.
2 teams have performed the treble. Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Manchester United (1999) and Manchester City (2023).
Liverpool won a minor treble in 2001, winning the UEFA cup, FA Cup and League Cup.
Celtic are the only club in the world to have performed a quadruple winning all 3 Scottish domestic trophies and the European Cup in 1967.
Great video
Ye globally soccer is so so much bigger than any other sport in the world its not even rly close
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.
Relegation system is much much better, it gives about 3/4 of the teams something to fight until the end avoiding tanking. I understand why in the US of A they don't want it: owners want to protect their investments. But sport is about success and failure. Both of them.
Release clauses are only applied to certain players. Usually, release clauses are applied to their best players or promising young players. But most players don't actually have release clauses.
I believe that video you are reacting to is a few years old, by now you can have 5 substitutes :) (it was introduced during the pandemic).
16:47 Can happen. Bayern won 5 trophies in 2013: Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, Champion's League, Supercup (Winner of Champion's League vs. Europa League) and Club World Championship (all winners of the primary Continental Cups)
Some soccer games are full tilt the entire game. They do actually have the fitness. The problem is that if you make charge forwards blindly you will probably give the ball to the opposition. So it would be counter productive.
Burnley FC are the club that has climbed the highest winning the top division (1960) then dropped right to the bottom of the football league having to win the last game of the season to avoid relegation the national league (1987), then come all the way back to the premier league (2009).
Thanks for sharing 👍
The best Usa league teams would be good enough to play in England's league 2
Which one of these guys is Pele? 😂😂
One of the most American thing I ever heard
Footies massive in Europe pretty much every American i met loves it after they understand the rules 😂❤
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
So your argument is that he isnt a defensive manager because he broke the record in 11/12. that season doesnt represent his overall career when it comes to numbers of goals. its the one season that standsout its the exception
Mourinho goal ratio is less than 2.0
Apart from old big names being relegated, it can also work the other way. Consider Dorking Wanderers FC - the club was founded in 1999 by a group of friends who just wanted to play in a local league. In the subsequent 23 years the club has been promoted 12 times and it is now playing in the National League at the 5th level. It’s not inconceivable that they could end up in the Premier League - Luton Town made it from the National League to the Premier League in only 9 years.
Yeah we sign kids, its not really sign because they are usually not payed until 16y old and most of them only receive contracts with money at 18 but if they are really good young they give them contract with money early, usually goes to their parents until they are 18, also thiss is goods because football teams pressure they players to have good grades, and guide them true young age with psicological suport, also is a way to teach them young when they lear skills better, an for example in my country, clubs are always looking for orfan childs that were not taken till 8y old and plus and if they take tbem for a test if they play gokd they can "adopt" him until 18 giving them a home meals a thinks like that
Basketball baseball(rounders) and designer rugby. Are SCHOOL sports
they do not only play 1 league game per week. Sometimes they both have mid week and weekend games. An just try to look at the program during Christmas. Manchester United fx have a game 23rd, 26th and 30th of December. That's a brutal schedule. Luckily all the cups are on vacation :-)
50 passes is a gross exaggeration.
Players are always looking for weaknesses in opponents defence.
Possession for its own sake doesn't score goals.
The basic principle of football is to deny your opponents to score goals, whilst creating chances for your team to score goals.
Everything builds on this principle.
That would be a great movie.. a bunch of friends joke around and make a bet to put together a team to make it into the premier league...
When I watched Germany against Brasil in 2014 I missed 2 goals just go pee for 2 minutes.
40,000+ clubs in England. Just on 25,000 in Germany. And about 18,000 in France.
So, you get an idea as to how popular the sport is.
Premiership: 38-game regular season - you can't play yourself. All other tiers have a 46-game regular (24 teams each division downwards)
I always knew it was the most popular sport worldwide but didn't realize the sheer amount of clubs in each country. Those numbers are wild.
@@bigkevreacts Played football for 10 years(age 6-16) here in Belgium. Our entire league(16 teams) was less than a 15 minute car ride away.
Realize that each "team" has an entire team of players of every age as well from age 6 to 18 basically and often multiple.(at age 12 we had 3 teams in our tiny town.). It's not just "a team" of like 20 people only. It's kids of all ages with trainers and everything. A real sports center that is constantly busy with training, camps, matches, etc. all week, every week.
Training wednesday and friday, match on Saterday or Sunday morning. Sometimes it's tournaments that last an entire weekend as well where you play like 6 matches in 2 days. Kind of annoying they basically took the entire weekend which wasn't that much fun as say, a 14 year old. But you were there with your entire team having fun so it wasn't too bad.
In Brazil there are only 1270 clubs, professional and amateur, registered at CBF. 850 professional and 425 amateur (approximate numbers)
However, these numbers can't be correct.
I found a page about all clubs, amateur and professional, at the state of Rio Grande do Sul alone.
The small town of Morro Reuter, only 5000 inhabitants, one of 450 towns and cities in the state, has 13 clubs!
I would say there are probably over 2000 amateur clubs in my state. São Paulo, 4 times the population in the state, probably around 10 thousand amateur clubs.
@@bigkevreacts when Croatia defeated Germany in the 1998 World Cup the commentator said that Croatia has 6 million population, which is the same number of registered players in Germany.
You can pull a goal keeper off for another outfield player in theory, but once a player is subbed off, they can't come back on. Its a "you can, but it would be extremely stupid" kind of situation.
Nice video !
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
6:50 yes but it's extremely rare. if it's 0-0 or if you're 1 down with seconds to go and have a free kick they do it but otherwise, nah
38 games not 40 as the team doesn't play itself 'just' the other 19 (19x2=38).
Only In the Prem the rest we have 46 for a season or league that has 20 teams in it.
@@tentativabritanica1040 I was correcting his actual comment rather as a generalisation. Maybe something like (Number of teams-1)x2. Although it may not work for leagues like the Scottish Prem that splits towards the end of the season. 🙂
Kev. Stick with it, YOU WILL GET EVENTUALLY and when you do, you will realise why its the top game world wide. Passing of the ball, has become an art within itself. I suggest you watch the video of Barcelona playing Tika Taka. The idea, is if your team has the ball, then the other side cannot score. Barcelona in their hey day were the best and have the trophies to prove it. Takes real skill and the players have to be in the right place at the right time to keep the ball AND then turn it into an attack and score. Just so happens to be my favourite team and I'm a Brit!
most of players that play for teams that have a good chance to go down have relegation clauses in there contract that let them leave for a certain amount but if a player doesn't the odds are they will be sold to because of the amount of money the clubs bring in go's down drastically
10:01 u know im late, but math wasnt mathing :D
There's 20 teams, they all play each other twice. So each team play 38 games in just a league, not 40. You cant play yourself so its -2.
You should watch welcome to Wrexham. The club was playing in the National League when they were bought by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Their ultimate goal is the Premier League. It’s a really entertaining show and a great way to understand what football means in Europe.
Thanks I'll check it out 😀
It is the easiest game in the world to play, even americans can understand it....jumpers for goalposts, get a ball, and play
You can bring the goalkeeper forward to help in the attack. It's risky, of course, so it's only usually done if the scores are tight and there's only a couple of minutes to go. It only usually happens when there's a set piece (that is, something like a corner or free kick). Luton Town is the only team to have gone from the Premier League down to the National League and back again, but quite a few have gone down three levels and back again. FWIW, below the National League is a tree of regional leagues known as "the pyramid" - a north and south league at the top, then three or four regional leagues, right the way down to purely local leagues.
Thanks for sharing 👍
38 games in a Premier League Season as you don't play yourself.
16:50 no one has won the quadruple in England, Manchester United and Manchester City have won a Treble while Liverpool did win 4 trophies but one was the European Super Cup, which doesn't count. Celtic of Scotland did win the Scottish Quadruple when they won both cups, the league and the European Cup (now Champions League) in 1967
Thanks for clarifying 👍
I’m a Birmingham city fan and have been since I was very little, just curious as to which other clubs people support around the place watching this video? What teams does everyone support?
Well, actually, a team can play up to 6 tournaments each year.
Liga (main local tournament)
Copa del Rey (secondary local tournament)
Supercopa (Single match. Liga winner vs Copa del Rey winner or the other finalist if the league and cope were wone by the same team)
Liga de Campeones/Europe League (2nd level tournament)
Super copa de Europa (Liga de Campeones winner vs Eorpean League winner)
Mundialito de clubes FIFA (best team of each federation plus the local league champion. It is currently being played at Abu Dabi)
So, for a Spanish team winning all those tournaments, it means they have to play, at least, 63 matches (it could be more depending on the classification for the european tournaments).
But, if you are looking for the matches a player may have to play, we cannot forget the national team. In that case, it can perfectly be around 80 matches. Even more if this year they have to play the world cup or Eurocup.
The average for players who also play with their natoinal teams, is 70 matches per year. Basically, 1 match every 5 days.
Thanks for breaking it all down. Very enlightening 😀
Now it's 5 subs a game, but still except golkeeper, 5 players will play full game.
You should watch the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham. It follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney who bought AFC Wrexham in the National League with a plan to eventually get them to the Premier league. The club's highest ever position was 15th in the second highest division in the country but had been in the national league since 2008.
Thanks for the suggestion 👍
How the fuck they didnt mention ac milan in Italy as teams you might heard off ? Its one of the biggest team in Europe
