A European football season, runs from August until May. I think switching the MLS to an Aug-to-May schedule to sync up with the other major European league schedules (and international tournaments that take place during the "off-season"), along with adopting the same transfer windows, could help the MLS take massive strides forward in terms of improving the quality of imports and exports from the league and raise the standards much higher. Also, Promotion/Relegation would re-invent the wheel for you guys.
@edgar80lolthe biggest mistake Liga MX made was getting rid of promotion/relegation. The other one was giving up in competing in CONMEBOL's tournaments. We south americans miss them.
I think them doing it the way it is currently is fine tbh, there is football to watch during off season and is not the usual format feels kinda refreshing
@edgar80lolyou do realise that europe is further north than most of mainland US, southern spain is on the same latitude as New York, russia play Aug-may, denmark play Aug-may UK play Aug-may, also the NFL plays games in december so it's not an excuse either
when you think about stakes involved, the premier league table has 20 teams and half the positions on that table have significance for the teams next season... with the first 6-7 places determine if and where in the european competitions they can play and the last 3 are the relegation zone. so the pressure on teams to reach or avoid a certain position on the table is much higher. if you wonder about the 7th place yes or no question, it depends on who the cup winner is, since the cup winner qualifies for europa league but if the cup winner ends on a champions league position, a europa league spot opens up on the table.
Fa cup winners go to europa efl cup winners go to conference, if both are already qualified 6th and 7th get the spots 6th getting the fa cup spot and 7th getting the efl spot
The break between halves is 15 minutes. In league games no extra time is played, that is because the result after 90 minutes count. 3 points for a win 1 point for a tie (draw) and 0 points if you lose. Extra time (and penalty shoot outs) may apply in Cup competitions where one team has to win. The season (English Premier League (EPL)) runs approx from August to May. Teams that are successful in lots of competitions may play over 60 games. For instance in the 2022-2023 season when Man City won the Treble (Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League) they played 65 games. Their first team squad, registered for the season was 25 players. Teams have 11 players on the pitch and a number of substitutes that can be introduced during the game (the number varies in different competitions in the EPL for example it is a max of 5). Don't say "Soccer" outside the US or you are likely to get used as a football!!!!
I think he undersells how much promotion and relegation affect clubs and leagues over time. Clubs actually go up and down the pyramid A LOT, it's just the supreme powerhouses that stay relatively stable. I've seen my Swedish club being close to getting relegated to the 3rd division, and I've seen us win the Swedish 1st division. The same thing happened to Leicester in England. In Germany, Bayern Munich and Dortmund are the only clubs to have never been relegated. There are around 50 clubs that have played in the English first division, meaning that most play in lower divisions for the time being. Same in Italy. I've seen a Swedish club climb four divisions and go on to win the Swedish Cup, play in Europa League, and beat Arsenal away. Another Swedish club, formed by Kurdish immigrants, won division after division and ultimately reached the first division. Blackburn won the Premier League in 1994 and was playing in the third division by 2018. So yeah, things change drastically. It's just that you don't see it if all your focus is on Barcelona or present-day Man City.
Just a top, my friend. PAUSE when you want to say because, otherwise,you are competing with the narrative and missing the next part of the video and when you resume listening, at that point the narrative is unrelated to what you were talking about and you either miss the next bit altogether or the first half of the next sentence so there is no continuity or use the 5-second Rewind button that most reactors do, to get you back to where you started speaking over the video:)
@bobbybigboyyes Thank You, My Friend but it is an eternal mystery,*** why, around 15 years ago, I chose that name as I have no Scottish connection whatsoever,only been there 3 times in 69 years, and have lived as an Englishman from London for 69 years *** Actually,I do know, as I love the poignant "Skye Boat Song"...Good Luck:)
@bobbybigboyyes HI from London@ 4.15am lol. Having just woken up after crashing out,I am wide awake now. That tricky little Ridley giving me and many others the impression we were in Barnsley with that Hovis advert:) Good Luck..
In terms of added time at the end if the match (extra time as you called it), the amount of time added on is always announced to everyone once the game hits 90 minutes. However, this is a minimum amount of added time, as for example if there is a stoppage (such as an injury or a goal etc.) in the already announced added time, then the match can go on for even longer. If that happens though, this is not announced, meaning that, ultimately, it is up to the referee to decide when they think that the match is over. Hope that helps clear that up for you!
There's extra time and there's injury/stoppage time. What you were referring to as extra time is actually injury or stoppage time. At the end of the half, the referee will add on the time that was lost during that half so that 45 minutes of football was actually played. In reality, if the game is stopped for about 5 seconds, it won't be added on, usually only the larger chunks of time are, for example substitutions or injuries, hence the name injury time. For example, if there's 2 minutes worth of stoppages in a half for substitutions, 1 minute for goal celebrations and 4 minutes to attend to a serious injury, there will be 7 minutes added on to the end of the game. That will be indicated at the start of the period so the players will know, however more may be added on during that time if another stoppage takes place during stoppage time, so it's not an exact science but it gives you a rough idea. Extra time is different. This happens in knockout matches when 2 teams are tied at the end of the game and when the format of the tournament requires only the winner of the match to progress. At this point, 30 minutes more will be played, known as extra time, which is split into 2 halves of 15 minutes. Extra time can also have injury time added to it as well if some other stoppage occurs there. If the teams are still tied after extra time, a penalty shootout happens, 5 penalties each and then if still tied, sudden death until a winner is found.
Seasons run from August till May/June. Every single country has its own national main league with many divisions (first, second, third) like a pyramid plus different domestic cups and competitions where you can have any team compete. Then the biggest teams of all countries (from the highest respective domestic league) all compete for the european championships. The above applies to all colored “districts” from the continents shown in the video. Each continent works the same way All these things run at the same time. So if you play for a big team you may be playing a lot of matches competing in 2-3 different competitions. Plus, the european, african, asian, etc “districts” also hold tournaments with national teams. The biggest tournament on the planet being the world cup

Yup. Three subs. And once you've been subbed off, you can't go back on. Your part in the game is done. As for possession, I'm one of those that doesn't subscribe to the 'maximise the possession' style of play. All that possession means nothing if you can't do anything with it. I prefer a style of play more like 'maximise what you do with the possession you have'. England has a 24 tier system. Premiership has 20 teams. Every other tier has 24. Pretty much any little town/village will have a club. Season runs from August to May. 2*45 minute halves. No adverts, as stated. Halftime is 10 minutes. As to how many games a season - Premiership is a 38 game season. Plus the two Cups. Plus Champions League tournament. It's possible for a team (not every player will play every single match of the season) to have a 60-odd match season over the nine month long season.
Predator is a very good description for some strikers. I remember seeing Wayne Rooney live for the first time. His demeanour was just like a prowling lion or tiger waiting to pounce.
Perhaps some Canadian patriotism will enhance your interest in the sport. We are now in the best generation of Canadian soccer, and we will be co-hosting the 2026 World Cup with the US and Mexico. Some of these European teams are readily available on TSN or Sportsnet. So here's some Canadians playing in Europe: Alphonso Davies, Bayern Munich, Champions of the German Bundesligue; Jonathan David, currently with Lille (likely transferring) Ligue 1 in France; Cyle Larin in La Liga, Spain. I could go, as the majority of Canada's national team players are playing with clubs in Europe. I would add that the MLS is a good league. True, it doesn't compete with the top 5 leagues in Europe, but it is still a very competitive league which is fun to watch, and now includes the GOAT Lionel Messi. So, please check out some matches of Toronto FC, Montreal FC and the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Typically a left/right wing is a very offensive role mainly playing in the offensive third of the pitch and only sporadically joining defense typically up to the middle line. The less offensive winger is called left/right mid whose main area is the middle third of the pitch but joining both offense and defense on equal measure. behind that is the defensive left/right back who is mainly in the defensive third but joins in offense when it doesn´t jeopardize defense. There are also hybrid roles like left/right wing back who are defensive players but are much more offensive than ordinary fullbacks. Since they are more often on offense they crete gaps wich can be used for counters so they are usually used in formations with 3 CB that stay behind and can cover these gaps.
He doesn’t really understand how players move from one team to another. The player has a value set by the selling team (Prem League doesn’t have many release clauses, rest of Europe does), then buying team will either pay that or they’ll try & negotiate the fee down a bit. Like buying a car I guess. If you have a release clause in your contract then selling club has to sell you for that amount if you want to move. This is complicated by players’ contracts. Players can move for free at the end of their contract, but if you’re good your team will keep trying to extend your contract so you can’t leave for free but it also means that you can’t move to another team unless someone buys you.
I think the best way for Americans to learn about football is to stop comparing it to American football or baseball as the saying goes football is a totally different animal
Players don't really have time off, it's kind of a problem actually. 😅 It got worse for a bit after COVID because the start of the 20/21 season got moved back because the season before ended late, and then in 2021 we had the euros, and then because of the 2022 winter world cup the start of the season got moved up so for some players this summer was the first time since lockdown they actually had time off... I think some players play 50-60 games every year in total and if you do the math, that's obviously brutal and not really sustainable....
I typed you a massive detailed reply, but my new mouse has some stupid side buttons that seem to make the browser go back a page. That happened and I lost the lot. I can't be arsed doing again, sorry.
To understand in depth of current state of affairs of european football, the following video by search party is highly recommended : how england football league is breaking the sport
And now in Europe Uefa (mafia) introduced another tournament, Conference League that smaller leagues have to enter just to qualify for the Euro League. Uefa do what they can to keep smaller leagues away from their big tournaments.
@@samuelpinder1215 Not for us in Sweden. Place 2 and 3 in our league qualified directly for Euro League before Conference League was introduced. Now we first have to go through Conference League to even qualify for Euro League.
@@drigerdranzer7514 euro is for mid level teams, hacken have basically already won their tie in the ucl, and you now get 3 teams in conference if I remember correctly, meaning that more teams get Europe. Very few teams go in the Europa league, most go to ucl or conference
great video fc barcelona glory days would be a good reaction was the best football club for a couple years also where messi used to play really shows the potential of the sport
Whilst this is a good insightful and comical video, it’s a lot of information to take in and not all of it is clear to understand. There is a channel called snowman sports media, he does videos on many sports and how the league systems work including football. A lot easier for someone newer like you to understand.
react to messi the goat,. and messi legandary performances, and messi the alien. and messi vs ronaldo ultimate comparison, and messi the movie.. you will learn the easyest way, if you watch the best player ever✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I don't think this guy did a good job "translating football to american audiences by making the most boring" video ever. You must watch some messi highlights or something
Like Cruyff once said "Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.”

The conference league winners qualify for europa, the conference league is to give smaller teams a chance for european football
@@samuelpinder1215 Not for us in Sweden.
Place 2 and 3 in our league qualified directly for Euro League before Conference League was introduced.
Now we first have to go through Conference League to even qualify for Euro League.
@@drigerdranzer7514 euro is for mid level teams, hacken have basically already won their tie in the ucl, and you now get 3 teams in conference if I remember correctly, meaning that more teams get Europe. Very few teams go in the Europa league, most go to ucl or conference
Say football please... always football...
ALWAYS
great video fc barcelona glory days would be a good reaction was the best football club for a couple years also where messi used to play really shows the potential of the sport
I’ll have to check that out. I need to watch the section on leagues etc a bunch to memorize lol and I’d love to check out some GOAT videos
yes also when they came to Anfield and Liverpool kicked their ass lol
10:25 It's José, not "Hosé", like how the guy in the video said
Ok thanks mate
@@DUBTEEMAChe’s Portuguese, not Spanish
Yeah, in Spanish Hosé in Portuguese José
4:43 why do north American’s always relate stuff to animals ffs 😂
Who cares
Rest of the world.
react to some of this years man city highlights. the club is so clinical and fits pep guardiola's "tiki taka" style of play so well.
Copy that! Thanks for the tippp
You can watch the video "4 simple step to learn European soccer"
😎
"Commenting" while the clip is kept running is kinda pointless.
The viewer can’t hear the commenter, nor the narrator.
Yeah sorry bout that! I’ve adjusted to not do that now. I’ll try my best to pause and go back 5 seconds
Whilst this is a good insightful and comical video, it’s a lot of information to take in and not all of it is clear to understand. There is a channel called snowman sports media, he does videos on many sports and how the league systems work including football. A lot easier for someone newer like you to understand.
Perfect
Linus 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You should check out the womens world cup as its currently in the group stages right now
19:05 prem-ee-air league. Not premiere
It's "DJOSÉ" not "HOSÉ"... portuguese, not spanish 😉
Hop e you stop the videos next time when you do comment 😮😮😮😮
react to messi the goat,. and messi legandary performances, and messi the alien. and messi vs ronaldo ultimate comparison, and messi the movie.. you will learn the easyest way, if you watch the best player ever✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
I don't think this guy did a good job "translating football to american audiences by making the most boring" video ever. You must watch some messi highlights or something
On it. Yeah this vid is well done overall but it’s a little dry but still informs
Like dogs pissing up lampposts its territories, and they ain't entertainment like NFL ! Its Real ! Especially in England ! NFFC**
