Yes, Argentina is a country. The World Cup is kind of like the Olympics where you have countries competing instead of clubs. Messi plays for PSG in the french league but he also plays for his country Argentina. The international tournaments happen when the leagues are on break.
😂 America on geography and history always funny dam
OMG that whole section killed like 75% of my braincells
mind you, America is the nation that created a NATIONAL league, and proclaims themselves world champions at the time of winning it.
@@scar445 *US of A is the nation... America is a whole continent
@@AnyMEmdq AAHH, yes. The United States of AMERICA the nation, located on America, the continent (which is technically called The Americas, on account of a northern and southern part, but nevermind that)
FIFA.. i'm from Algeria, north Africa.. it's actually fun to watch americans learning about football cause 90% of the world knows everything about football since they were young so it's rare to actually see someone who doesn't know anything about it lol i enjoyed the video
same
Germany alone has 30.000 football clubs!
there are hundreds of local leagues
How many professional?
@@maravreloaded the first 3 leagues are officially professional, so 56 clubs . But even below that a lot clubs have professional or semi-professional players..
in gerenal you can say if you dont play below league 4, youre at least semi-professional..
21:20 There is this tiny english club called luton town who did this. they were founded in 1885 and only managed to get into the premier league this season absolutely crazy to think of
Luton have always been a big club-they’ve won several major trophies. Luton is a massive town, almost a city, and they’ve always had a big following.
They also played in the old first division (what the prem used to be) in the 80s. They had players like Mick Harford, Ricky Hill and Brian Stein who were underrated, nearly elite talents.
Source: I live the next town over.
Icl as an English person I love watching these sort of reactions and the fact the idea of relegation fascinates Americans
You can tell the position by the Jersey number
there's a few horrible bits in this (the sport being as slow as baseball, nobody caring about lower leagues) but for the most part, it's a decentish introduction
It’s boring if you’re used to watch ing the collisions of American football, there’s a beauty in a soccer team effort tho that football can’t even do on great plays
The magic of the FA Cup isn't so much the smaller teams winning it (Like Wigan in 2013, the same year the got relegated from the Prem), but the teams in the lower leagues pulling off giant-killings against the big boys, like United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, losing to Crewe, Rushden & Diamonds, Grimsby Town, etc.
Those matches can be massive for the smaller clubs, not only financially, but by writing themselves into local and or national folklore.
Yeah. There are minor clubs in Europe that built a (relatively minor) new stadium for themselves of the proceeds of one big Cup season.
Each country has its own league / season and it has several divisions.
Teams from all divisions also play for the national cup
The best teams from all countries fight for a chance to play for the two pan-european cups.
All this is happening at the same time. Full schedule
The same deal happens in all continents
And on top of that, these are all tied together in the Club World Cup.
This means that, over the course of three seasons, a team could become champion of its country, then champion of its continent, and then champion of the World
The best team historically is Real Madrid. 35 La Ligas, 20 Spanish cups, 21 European cups (including 14 Champions League titles) and a bunch of other domestic titles.
Good to keep in mind that for most of the week these players train at match intensity too. So it’s pretty much everyday. Seasons usually start around august and end in May. There are international breaks but those are just players going to play for their countries. And at the end of a season there’s pretty much always a big international tournament taking place so these guys never really get an extended break. Shows how incredible the determination and work ethics are
11:40 that's the difference in watching highlights and the full games. watching full game is like watching adrenaline pumped chess
Thank you for being honest with your reaction. I'm a huge football fan but if you asked me to react to American Football or Basketball I'd be as confused as you are! best reaction I've seen so far. No bullshit, honest reaction.
FIFA.
19:19 no, the championship is still one of the twenty most followed leagues in world football even though it’s not the Prem. Each team has thousands of fans and the players still earn millions. Even down to the national league, teams still have dedicated fanbases.
The reason there are so many leagues is because there are hundreds if not thousands of clubs in England. Every town/village has its own team. Cities will have multiple clubs, usually one for each district or neighbourhood (imagine Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Harlem, etc. each having a team). Imagine they’re always playing each other multiple times a year. Imagine how intense the rivalries would get. That’s the football leagues in a nutshell.
Word of the day fifa 😉 just to clear things up for you players have club football and also they play for their country. Messi is from Argentina and Ronaldo is from Portugal.
Barcelona between 2009-2012 is arguably the best team ever which was managed by Pep and had Messi, Xavi, iniesta etc
The best videos to watch would be Barcelona tiki taka, take the ball pass the ball, all or nothing as well watching old games on UA-cam 😊
Alr I’ll check out tiki taka and thanks so much for watching!!
@@DailyCTthe best team in history: Madrid, best prime: Barcelona
No they don't play 3 hours, they play 2 halves of 45 minutes with additional time and yes, if the same team causes the ball into their goal that needs protecting, it counts as a goal for the other team.
12:05 Before matches are played, the lineups will be usually be shown on the screen along with the players' positions, the teams' formations, etc. Also... FIFA.
To answer your question : each country in Europe have all these leagues, because pretty much each big city as well as each smaller town in each of those countries have its own football club (sometimes even several).
Even the combined sum total of all those pro/semi-pro/amateur leagues clubs doesn't come close to the total number of football clubs.
Football is just that popular of a sport.
You are right here. For example : Germany's Football - associationn ( DFB ) have more than 26.000 Clubs, with more than 7 Mio. Club -Members
Bro what a great fucking video, you made it entertaining, asked good and funny questions. Great fucking job man 👏 soccer is hard to understand sometimes, you'll get it eventually.
Barca have won 6 trophies back in 2009 "la liga + copa del rey + champions league in 2008/09" and "supercopa + uefa super cup + club world cup in 2009/10"
Bayern Munich also won 6 trophies in 2020 "bundesliga + dfb cup + champions league in 2019/20" and "dfl supercup + uefa super cup + club world cup in 2020/21"
Real Madrid have won 3 straight champions league "2015/16 & 2016/17 & 2017/18"
26:44 sort of. Basically there are two stages to a transfer. The transfer fee, and the contract. If a team wants a player, they have to agree to pay an amount of money to that team for the player. This can be done in different ways, usually over several years and there can be performance-based add-ons thrown in too.
Not every nation uses release clauses. For example they’re a lot rarer in the UK than they are in mainland Europe, though not unheard of.
A player can have their release clause activated, or their club can accept a transfer fee from another team, and then if they find that the other club doesn’t match their contract demands, reject them. That means the deal fails and they stay where they are. The idea is that both the club and the player have to be happy with the move before a player joins a new team.
Players also move a lot less than in America. It’s rare for a player to play for more than one team in a season, giving transfers more impact. When a player signs a major deal then they’re are basically agreeing to play for that team for at least four years. There’s also no practice squad and free agency is less common. Elite players will usually have a move already lined up when their contract is expiring.
There are however loan deals. This is basically leasing a player for a season. They pay a percentage of the player’s wages and maybe a small fee to the parent club, and in exchange that player will join that club for a season whilst still being under contract with their main team.
27:00 No, if your salary is 70k, your release clause is probably around 10-50 millions
i like this guy he did the NFL for europeans aswell that i liked cus i known the basic rules of the game but its interesting getting something that goes beneath the surface.
Yes, negative football/parking the bus is extremely boring but it's a sound strategy to win, especially against teams that have a better offence, so if you do it right (like Jose Mourinho) it can win you trophies. And in the end , those trophies usually trump the boredom 😅😅
FIFA! You da man. Cheers from far far away from Finland - small country in Europe. Keep it up man 👍
Wow I heard of it before man thanks so much for supporting!
@@DailyCT I guess you now Lauri Markkanen. NBA’s most improved player this year. He is from here.
I love that you decided to clarify what Finland is after he asked what league does the team "Argentina" play in xD USA and Geography, lady and gents!
in recent times you get 5 Substitutions in the regular 90 minutes. If you have to play extra time (2 x 15 mins) you get an additional sub.
17:20 Messi is from Argentina, therefore he plays in the Argentinian national team. Things like the Coppa America, the World Cup and the Euros are played in a format where each country is represented by one team in a tournament style competition. You can only play in the national team of a country if you're either born there, or got that country's passport. Thus Ronaldo played for Portugal, Messi for Argentina and Mbappe for France. The clubs they play for is completely unrelated to this.
The release clause only means the club who owns you cannot stop a deal.
The buying club still has to agree the salary with the player first.
Only when they have agreed terms with the player will they trigger the release clause.
To give an example.
Haarland went to Man City for around 350K a week salary BUT they paid his former club £50M which was the release clause
2:00 Depends. Each country league has its own name, for example in England it's the EPL (English Premier League), and it's run by the FA (Football Association). In Italy, the league is called Serie A, run by the FIGC (Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio). Also, each continent has its organization. In Europe, it's UEFA (Union of European Football Associations). In North America, Central America and the Caribbean it's called CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football). The world football organization is FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association).
10:35 Yup, it's an own goal, and it counts in favor of the opposing team.
14:35 Might be boring, yes. But effective if done right. The problem is that it's not easy to do. However, that's usually how upsets happen. The small team parks the bus against the bigger team and suddenly counterattacks and scores.
17:07 Argentina is a country. Countries don't belong to any league. Countries HAVE leagues. However, countries do play qualifier tournaments to get into the World Cup. Messi is from Argentina, and plays for both the Argentina national team and for Paris Saint-Germain, a French team. Cristiano Ronaldo is from Portugal, and played for both the Portugal national team and now only plays for Al-Nassr, a Saudi team. Before, they both played in the Spanish league: Messi for Barcelona, Ronaldo for Real Madrid. These are the top two teams in Spain.
27:13 Salary and release clause are all agreed on when a transfer is set. Since players are usually the ones who decide they wanna leave the team, everything has to be contemplated during negotiations. A team can't just come up with an offer for a player, and then see if the player accepts the salary that's offered. Talks are carried out between the buying team and the player (or their representative).
14:35 that does happen. and those kind of games are ... catastrophically hilarious to watch TBH
BUT .. .that defensive play allows Japan to challange teams like Germany, Spain and Croatia Which are almost awlčays ranked in the top 10
8:55 if you want to see overembelishing of the fall ... look up "neymar rolling" dude is a fantastic palyer but ... he'll be remembered as the rolling guy for a reason
Luton Town was in League 2 in 2018, they are starting this season in the Premier League.. in 2014 they where in the National league. Wrexham is trying to replicate this.
Luton town were in the 5th division ten years ago now in the premier league!
fifa, if you could react to the video sergio ramos - the gladiator, he is a defender and is considered to be one of the goats of defending, he played for spain and in real madrid (with ronaldo).
Ok I will thanks for watching!!
16:00 In England, the Premiere League is the most popular. In Spain, La Liga is more popular. In Italy, Serie A is more popular, for some reason. And in Germany the most popular is Bundesliga
Real Madrid won the club of the 20th century award but Barcelona and I think Bayern have won 6 trophies in a single season.
For this century it’s between Real Madrid and Barcelona but we have 76 years left to see who wins.
21:23 In Chile we have a similar cup and in 2011 there was this amateur team from some cheese factory in the south that managed to advance a couple rounds eliminating a second-division (professional) team.
9:44 its 2 x 45 mins, (not 3 hours), these days, if it's a hot day, they will have a small break doing the match to get water (usually a little longer substitution or if a player is getting treatment). Also, there are water bottles around the pitch for all the players to grab a drink if needed.
Haha football games are only 90 minutes, 2x45 minute halves. Its still a long time to be running but one of the best parts of football is that you can know that in 90 minutes plus a 15 minute break at half time the match will be over most of the time, unlike american football where theres ads constantly and breaks and the game could be short or extremely long.
Look into the Croatia team. Worth paying attention to. Thanks for this excellent video.
I guess the most difficcult part to understand for Americans is the concept of the foul, as their version of football is essentially some sort of wrestling.
Good stuff
you gotta check out "understanding european soccer in 4 simple ways" to get a clearer understanding of the leagues
Great video!!!!!
Def recomend what he said at the end about looking up "barcelona tiki taka" videos, they may give you an idea of how teams that want to have the ball as much as possible try to attack, and the you can look at "best counter attacks" videos to see the teams who don't care about possesion, those are basically THE 2 ways to play right now, and some players are better suited for one style or the other
grown men singing about bubbles 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he won me over as soon as I saw that
Also the best teams in recent history were
Manchester United ( 1999 and 2008)
Barcelona (2009 and 2015)
Real Madrid ( 2014-2017)
And arguably Manchester City this year since they've pretty much won the Premier League, they're in the semi finals in The Champions League (against Real Madrid) and they are in the Final of the FA Cup with Manchester United so they could win the treble ( hopefully not tho, I'm a Man United fan and only United have won the treble in England)
Bayern 2020
Milan 2003-2007
not you forgetting Bayern Munich 2020, quite recently lol
Bayern 2020 and 2013, with a Perfect UCL
Barca's late 2000's to around 2017 is the best football dynasty in history. They won everything domestically, internationally😉 and pioneered a groundbreaking style of football. Plus they still trigger their fubar haters to this day...
I'd say 2019 but the 2020s could be a good decade for Barça (I support Barça)
In England there have been 4 Trebles and no Quads
Liverpool have 2 trebles 1984 and 2001(84 = League Title, League Cup and Champions league, 01= League Cup ,FA Cup ,Europa League)
Manchester United have 1999 (99 = League Title, FACup and Championsleague)
and
Manchester City have 2019 (19 = League Title FA Cup and League Cup)
Manchester City look like they could do a Treble this season they have won the League title and are in the finals of the Champions League and FA cup
Liverpool have gotten the closest to winning a Quad as they won the FA Cup and League Cup but lots the Champions league final and the League title on the final day.
I think Quads have been done in Spain and Italy and Germany.
At the moment the best League is the Premier League but in the 80's and 90's it was Serie A in Italy, in the 00's-10's it was La Liga in Spain, so in a few years it could be Germany or Italy and Spain again or even France (another big league that is not bad but not great now but has potential to be a huge league)
Note:
Every player plays for a Club-team (lets call it a day job) they compete in leagues. The National Teams consists of the best players from that speciffic nation (like the usa, canada, England, Argentina, Brazil... and so on...) They only compete in Tournaments like the World Cup (if they qualify) or Continetal tournaments like the Euros, copamerica, afcon. and so on.
The national team is as it says specifikt to that nation and the leagues are somewhat multinational due to players coming from abrouad to play for the a club in that League. The Premier League has a rule that every teams squad must consist of a % of "Homegrown players" theese are player from either their academy or English players (the acadamy players does not have to be English to count as homegrown).
The national association of European Soccer is UEFA
fc barcelona sextuple (6 trophies in 1 year) - la liga (spanish league), copa del rey (spanish cup), uefa champions league, club world cup (between winners of the continental competitions), spanish super cup (cup winners vs league winners), uefa super cup (ucl vs uel winners)
11:40 no usually the formation stays the same throughout the whole game and its pretty easy to tell whos what
Not really, a nominally 3-5-2 formation can very easily turn to 2-3-5 in attack and 6-2-1 in defense, but each player has a "typical" position in either, so you can make a good guess 🙃
You can tell the position by the Jersey number
13:45 this is how a total outsider Greece won the European Championship one year and they called it "the day the beautiful game wept"
Europe was just salty coz the little guy won
@@inquisitive6786 .... Well yes that's a big part of it
England has 24 tiers. A small city/town/village has a club. They may play in the 4th tier, the 5th. Or even the 21st.
It’s mad to me that intelligent people struggle to understand something that Europeans never learn we just live and breathe it. Learning football is just like learning a language I guess it’s natural, the more you expose yourself to the more you understand it.
FIFA. Love watching Americans learn about the beautiful game.
Do a reaction video on all or nothing series!
Argentina is a city in Alaska. And they play against Icebears. They are realy hard players....
you should react to the clasicos (Real Madrid vs Barcelona) on season 2010-2011 something rare happened and the calendar ended up having 4 clasicos in 3 weeks (really rare) with barcelona being lead by Pep Guardiola(best coach of positive football) and Real madrid by Jose Mourinho(best coach of negative football
FIFA (Federation of International Football Association). That is what the Acronim FIFA stands for.
the video also dont mention all the national freindlies/cups/tournaments they also have too play outside of their club team
You dont need to research . Liverpool most successful team in winning 3 or more cups etc in one year. Few years ago we won 5. The fifth cup was the super cup. Which was playing all the best teams over the world. Manchester would dream of that.
19:20 because Football is a part of the culture and there's a FUCKTON of clubs in europe
Yes, a metric FUCKTON of clubs.
10:32 Yeah. It counts as an own goal and the other team get the goal.
Every country has a different association with a different name, every continent has a different confederation with a different name, and then there's FIFA which is the same thing on a global scale
16:00 Eeeeeeh Premiere ligue is probably the most popular National ligue because of how close in capability the top teams are. (it's not unheard of for a 2-3 tier team beating a top tier team in English cup)
10:42 it counts as an own goal.
Every European country have a league.
Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Bulgarian, Belgian... etc and Ronaldo is Portuguese born in one of the Portuguese islands Madeira Funchal city.
Ronaldo played in much more clubs than Messi.
Ronaldo played in the spanish league the brithish league in the Italian league and now is in the UAS league.
Messi pass almost all intire carrer in one club of the spanish league and now is in the states.
We tend to informally call it "Footy"
Yes, Argentina is a country in South America.
4:15 brooo xD each half is 45 minutes = 90 minutes total but often Ref ignores it and let it go to around 100 cause of match fixing or scripting
Best team of all time is either Barcelona 2009 or Barcelona 2011. Depending on your taste
They are the best paying referees 😂
Bayern Munich 2020 are the best Team.
I'd like to say, 4 months later, that we don't make fun of players for falling and staying on the ground, at the end of the day, it's strategic so the referee considers it a fault, he stops the game and gives them the ball. However, we do make fun of them when some (ahem Neymar ahem), drops to the ground for everything, trying to make it pass as a foul when he was barely touched.
'What league is Argentina apart of' hahaha. They are a country, they are in the world cup.
release clause - team A thinks the player is worth 100milion, if someone pays it the player is transfered and then negotiate a salary.
21:20 it has happened a few times
soccer is not that complicated man. If you can remember how many outs in an inning then you can remember that you need to get the ball in the goal.
All players in the world ,want too play the English Premier League.At one point in the career, but hard to get into it
THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION CALLED FIFA AND IT STANDS FOR INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FOOTBAL ( NOT SOCER SAYS IN NAME )
in england, no one has won a quadruple. manchester city, manchester united and liverpool have all won trebles
from my knowledge Celtic from Scotland is the only team in the world (or at least Europe) to win a quadruple and the most recent treble winner is Manchester City in this 2022/2023 season
Argentina is a country 😐 wow... I didn't expect that I had to write a comment like this ever...
You and me need to have a video phone call to explain it all and answer your questions without proper context. Let me know.
Man seriously didn't know Argentina is a country 😂 Don't think you understood the transfer concept very well either, you're not buying out their contract but rather purchasing them as an asset. The highest transfer fee ever paid was for Neymar at 220 million euros
The Champions League does not take every champion in Europe.
The 4 biggest leagues deliver 4 to 5 clubs. That's atleast 16 teams. Actual champions from smaller countries have to go trough a play-off system. For instance, Liverpool won 1national championship in years, but in the mean time they won 2 champions leagues.
This system prevents smaller leagues to enter the Big Money League.
Italy's number 4 could have 30 points less than the champion, and still automatically qualify.
Before this system., smaller teams did win the European Cup (now called Champions League), or reached the quarter/half finals.
Playoff spot system my guts those are qualifiers Lmao 🤣
American education at its finest😂😂😂
Argentina is a country my guy 💀
i can tell you this, only americans google "european soccer"
10:30 yes you can and it's always a risk
Bayern Munich (GER) won a treble twice
FIFA. He wondered why there are so many leagues. Fotball (Soccer) is the biggest sport in the world so thats not that suprising. Also the different leagues he showed are just the once that are considered as the pro leagues and no where even close to the amount of leagues there are in EU Fotball. If we take that FA cup in England for example where 700 teams entered and we assume 20 teams per league thats 35 leagues in England alone and thats assuming that every single team entered which they dident so the number would be even higher. Ofc alot of those leagues are gonna be amateur teams. U could easily create multiple leagues from around any city with the amount of teams there are available to join.
So the question isent why are there so many leagues/teams in EU. The real question is why are there so few leagues that are considered pro American Fotball in America? I dont follow American Fotball so maybe i´m wrong but from what i have seen ppl say online and random sports clips over the years the only 2 leagues that seems to be worth anything and even mentioned in America is Pro Fotball and College Fotball. Your sport pretty mutch stole Sunday from god and the church and there are only 2 leagues that are consider pro in the entirety of America, Explain that.
In recent years the best championship is the Spanish one, in the 70s-80s and 90s it was the Italian one. The English league is the most historic, but the level is very high in all major European countries. South America produces more champions but all the best players come to Europe, so even if the rest of the world plays almost everywhere, the European leagues are of a higher level.
In term of competitiveness in the league, the English Premier League is probably the best in the last decade. But Spanish league has the best teams in Europe: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid.
The 70th are dominated by Teams from Germany and the Netherlands in this timeperiod they won 6 times the Champions league ( 3 times Ajax and three times Bayern ), and they are also one of the best Football - Nationalteams, worldwide.
i love americans reaction to relegation
Manchester city just won last seasons quadruple.
It’s called FIFA they are the federation that looks over the leagues etc.
Did anyone else get annoyed the typo of Premiere instead of Premier league
Fifa, I got you just watched like 4 in a row
European??? In the word exist one Football, just in EUA football is soccer
Well, play 100 games of football and then you will see movement of formation and positions
fifa, since covid 5 substitutions are allowed
I always respect americans for not being ashamed of showing their ignorace like it's a normal thing to not know if Argentina is a country lol
