I enjoyed your reaction, my friend though, in England, which boasts the world#s greatest football league which is The Premier League, the difference each year between being in the Top 2 Divisions is not $40,000,000 but $240,000,000 and there is also another domestic English Cup each season called The League Cup which is also played midweek so the very best 7 or 8 teams could be involved in the later stages of 4 competitions so, occasionally, rest their players. In England, there are 4 Divisions in the League involving 92 independent Clubs/Teams and 11 divisions altogether in the Football League Pyramid. THere are over 7,000 teams in The Country :)
Cup upsets are what lower division teams and fans live for. The best in my lifetime is Lincoln City in 16/17. They were a team in the 5th tier and reached the quarter finals, in doing so knocked out 1 premier league team, 2 championship (2nd tier) teams, 1 team in League 1 (3rd tier), 1 in their league and 1 in the league below. And to make it better they won their league and are considered one of that leagues greatest ever teams.
5:11 Cup upsets are very very special. The top teams being beaten away at small clubs has seen some of the most memorable giant killing over the decades. It can spark top mangers to be sacked, the giant killers get more money as the have progressed and the fans have something over the giant they killed off, massive pride.
It's probably been mentioned further down...but anyway. The Bundesliga, which you showed is not correct regarding the promotion and relegation. The bottom TWO teams in the Bundesliga automatically get relegated to the 2nd division and exchange places with the top TWO teams in the 2nd division. The 3rd from bottom plays 2 games (home and away) against the third from the top which decides which team will be promoted or relegated. (or that no changing occurs).
Don't forget that each team can have only 3 replacements per game. Due to a lots of games, fatigue takes its due. That makes everything even more interesting for the fans...
-Yes you're right, the Women's USA football (soccer) team is actually one of the best in the world, I think they are also the current Women's World Cup champions (2019 Women's World Cup)👍 -I think the USA's sports interests are quite isolated to the USA (with maybe the exception of Cuba and Japan, and of course general athletics such as the olympics) so there isn't as much opportunity for international competition and fan travel. The country itself is so large I imagine it would be difficult for even a domestic style of fans constantly travelling to different states every other weekend. I know that probably does happen in the US, but I imagine it might be more difficult. - 5:23 That was cursed and I never want to see it again. -Brazil have won the world cup the most times with 5, and with what you said about Spain and England, at least here in England, we've the biggest and best football league in the world, yet we always seem to choke at the final hurdle during international competition. It's a pain that all english people feel with football eventually lmao 😂. Even the whole concept and lyrics of 'Its Coming Home' is ironic and describes that -And like your pinned comment states, the best players can easily make over half a million dollars a week with their club contracts, and that's >before< any kind of sponsorships of brand deals they'll be offered.
The USA Women's football team is our only hope here, at least for a good while to come. It's strange to have Woman's great, and the Men slacking hard in the world, and visa-versa in sports in general. We are definitely in our own North American bubble here when it comes to sports, and almost everything else. Especially coming from California, every place around the world other than Canada and Mexico seem like they are worlds away. 5:23 haha, I had to throw it in there! I specifically went back to my video and re-edited in this clip, just for you! The money is insanity, but the players do bring in much more than that... that might be a good video now that I think of it... hmm....
@@californianreacts I mean, if countries like the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, etc. spend about half of the money per capita the US does it's basically going to be over for the US. Certified trainers and such is still something the US lacks at all points. Messi has a good argument for being the best football player of all time. He's 5 feet 5 and had growth problems resulting in a lack of growth and stamina. (Barcelona paid for his treatment as a teenager) Many of the best players don't break 150 pounds. I promise you a smaller framed player in the US won't be looked at twice and as long as that's the case the US will struggle on an even playing field when it comes to development of players. In the US bigger is simply seen as better for the most part because of the other dominant sports.
What you have to take into account is soccer teams are sporting clubs through out the world, many started way back in the 1870s to represent a community like a city or town, some were formed by workers from coal mines or even pubs in England to give workers on their day off a break from work as really a social club and get some exercise. American sports teams are franchises owned by often an individual that can relocate the team to a different city or state if they are not making the money so they have no real connection with any certain place, it really is a business not a sporting club. If you look at the badges of soccer teams they will have an FC or SC, football club or sporting club or the non English equivalent of.
According to FIFA, these are the top 10 national teams of 2021 (after the results of EUROs and Copa America): 10. Germany 9. Portugal 8. Denmark 7. Spain 6. Brazil 5. Belgium 4. France 3. Argentina 2. England 1. Italy I see you mentioned Italy's world cup win in 2006, it would be nice to react to the road to victory of Italy in that world cup, or even better, the fall and redemption of italian football. After that world cup, italy began a fall of quality, that culminated in the missed qualification in 2018 world cup. After that, Italy managed to resurrect with a completely renewed team, and only 3 years after not even competing in the world cup, we won the EUROs for the first time since 1968, beating giants like Belgium, Spain and England
Thanks for the list, Simone! As for Italy's world cup win in 2006, I had no idea their fall after the world cup although I don't often hear about them. I'll look up the backstory on the rise and fall.
It allows the underdogs to have a fighting chance rather than say the most richest American football teams who enjoy the benefits of more money as well as better training facilities, where you know which teams are going to be in the finals vs say a professional football team vs a team consisting of high school dropouts where you know that the professionals will hammer the drop outs easily, but it’s a huge thing if the drop outs actually win
The upsets in cup competitions we call “giant killers” and you are almost guaranteed at least one per year! I’ll confuse you a bit now as in Scotland and England there are two cup competitions ran each year, the League Cups and the Scottish or (in England) the the FA cup, the former being played from July/August to December and the latter being played from January to May along with the regular football leagues going on
Giant Killers, I like it! And never heard of this term before so thank you, Willie :) Hold on now, I'm just wrapping my head about the basics first! Haha
@@californianreacts 😂😂😂😂 sorry lol, I did warn you that I could confuse you! There is obviously a little more to each cup but I won’t put you off football too much by trying to explain it 👍🏻

The Jules Rimet Trophy 🏆 is the name of the World Cup and it was embarrassingly stolen in 1966 a few months before the tournament was held in England. Luckily it was found by Pickles, a border Collie dog, whilst out on a walk with his owner. I believe it was found under a hedge, wrapped up in newspaper and tied with string. Unfortunately the dog owner became a suspect for a while after he handed it into the Police! Seems a bit like a plot from a British “Carry on” film, but it is true. ( “Carry on” films were British comedy films mainly made in the 60s and 70s) What he said about not having play offs is not strictly correct. In some of the English Leagues it is only the first two teams who get automatically promoted, and the next four top teams have play off matches, to determine the last promotional spot available.
Jules Rimet Trophy, never heard of this name for the World Cup so thank you, Rich! Pickles is the real MVP :) I read something similar about English Leagues, so this is good info for me.
Well there is also the consistancy factor, reaching a final is already a challenge , Brazil germany italy argentina france all reached the final several times wining the cup and 2nd place. plus beeing semifinalist. There is also the Netherlands, wildly known as the best team that never won a world cup reaching the final 3 times and semifinal 2x losing on penalties . Seeing the top teams is a bit of book keeping on how consistant a nation is at tournaments, The European cup , or European championships well they are even more dificult to win. since its inception in 1960 only 10 different nations won the cup and 13 diferent nations reached the final .
Agreed it gets boring over time when you go home and all you see is the baseball, football, football or the news, so you go to a bar and what do you see? Those three things playing on some tv in the background
Its weird that the video missed to teach something, same as the regulation for the bottom team, the upper team even fight for the top 4 places. Because those top 4 will be picked for champion league. So even when a team knows he can't win the league they will fight for the 4th place. And the 5th and 6th will be picked for europ league, which is another Cup tournament.
The video is decent but the one thing he forgot to explain before going into clubs and national teams. Soccer clubs are comparable to American sports franchizes like the Avalanche or Red Wings in the NHL and they will play where the club is located. Bayern Munich plays in the German league, Barcelona plays in the Spanish league, Mancchester in England and so on, but the players from each club can have all kinds of different nationalities. Players mostly play for their clubs, but if they are really good and belong to the best players from their country, they may be called to their National Team and play in international tournaments like the world cup, where the best players from each country compete with each other. In hockey this would be like team Canada or team USA.
In major league soccer our season starts from February to October with the exception of cup games like the Lamar hunt open cup and the leagues cup and MLS cup and the concacaf champions league and the club world cup and the end of the season all clubs who didn’t make playoffs go on break till the super draft and the postseason the east and west conference league picked their teams to play for a MLS cup and a spot in the concacaf champions league cup but there is the supporters shield awarded to the team in first place and have the most points and a home game in the playoffs and a first round bye
To all the German fans: did you notice that the creator of the original video made fun of the Bundesliga? Around min 3:30 he has FC Porsche, B.Motor Work, OMG (oh my god) 1899 and '99 Hoffenheim sneaked into the table? That's hilarious and I overlooked it until now although I've watched this video several times. Keep in mind it's 9 years old by now!
10:16 you say you don't even know the teams. World cup isn't for teams, it's for countries. Every country has it's own league and that is one thing, World cup is the other. For example- Ronaldo now plays in englih league for Manchester Utd, but when he plays in the World/ European cup he's in team Portugal (his countrys' team)
I enjoyed your reaction, my friend though, in England, which boasts the world#s greatest football league which is The Premier League, the difference each year between being in the Top 2 Divisions is not $40,000,000 but $240,000,000 and there is also another domestic English Cup each season called The League Cup which is also played midweek so the very best 7 or 8 teams could be involved in the later stages of 4 competitions so, occasionally, rest their players.

And that happened this past season. Liverpool lost the league by 1 point to Man City, lost the Champions League final 1-0 against Real Madrid, but won both the League and FA Cups, thus playing the maximum number of competitive games possible in a single season.
What American sport needs is not so much innovation regarding the sport themselves, but the format. The franchise model doesn’t allow anything on a grassroots level. It’s a closed circle and by extension you just don’t get the same connection. If rich people get into football (soccer for you), they take a risk.. but it’s not really seen as an avenue to make huge money, it’s more of a passion and money sink in order to win, if they then creates a revenue that’s usually considered a byproduct. Nevertheless, they’re gonna get huge publicity regardless of direct losses, so they’re probably gonna earn it back regardless, at some point… whereas in American sport.. the owners are all in it together to earn money, and that closed environment creates a barrier.. but if that’s all you’re used to, you don’t really know what you’re missing, except if you go to Europe and watch football in the stadium or watch RUclips clips and then traverse down the rapid hole. For many, sport as pretty much replaced religion; you go there every Sunday (or Saturday), you’ve a huge community, you’re devoted, you chant, you’re there through thick and thin despite what’s going on at home, there’s many parallels that can be drawn.
Then, same thing happens in South America. They have their thin in Africa and Asia and the champions of all confederations meet to play the club World Cup. In the old days, the champion of Europe would play the Champion of South America and then you had the best club team in the world.
Baseball is essentially a hyped up kids game called rounders where the rules are exactly the same except for the name and rather than kids plying it it’s grow men

I think that the old blanket statement is all but myth now.. Soccer is popular here.. the nbers do not lie, the tv deals are great. Participation through the roof, and attendance in many MLS games are 40-70k a game. That's just MLS..

British football has a slightly more tribal, prumal feel to it, than European football. Violence between rivals was common place. It's much less frequent now, but in the lower leagues, it's still pretty prevalent. This shows in chants and the atmosphere at some games. You can feel the anger and coming violence in the air which is very enticing to a primitive part of our brains.

It's probably been mentioned further down...but anyway. The Bundesliga, which you showed is not correct regarding the promotion and relegation.

1994 is the most memorable ive seen to date. so many great players
As a tennis fan you should know it's WimbleDon not WimbleTon!
I thought that's what he said 😁
The video is decent but the one thing he forgot to explain before going into clubs and national teams.
Soccer clubs are comparable to American sports franchizes like the Avalanche or Red Wings in the NHL and they will play where the club is located. Bayern Munich plays in the German league, Barcelona plays in the Spanish league, Mancchester in England and so on, but the players from each club can have all kinds of different nationalities.
Players mostly play for their clubs, but if they are really good and belong to the best players from their country, they may be called to their National Team and play in international tournaments like the world cup, where the best players from each country compete with each other. In hockey this would be like team Canada or team USA.
Yea he should have explained the international teams and tournaments
He is some food for thought, here in the UK there are over 7000 teams who would be eligible to compete in the FA Cup,
In major league soccer our season starts from February to October with the exception of cup games like the Lamar hunt open cup and the leagues cup and MLS cup and the concacaf champions league and the club world cup and the end of the season all clubs who didn’t make playoffs go on break till the super draft and the postseason the east and west conference league picked their teams to play for a MLS cup and a spot in the concacaf champions league cup but there is the supporters shield awarded to the team in first place and have the most points and a home game in the playoffs and a first round bye
To all the German fans: did you notice that the creator of the original video made fun of the Bundesliga?
Around min 3:30 he has FC Porsche, B.Motor Work, OMG (oh my god) 1899 and '99 Hoffenheim sneaked into the table? That's hilarious and I overlooked it until now although I've watched this video several times. Keep in mind it's 9 years old by now!
Football in Europe is just something else not just about money but a passion
You should react to a clueless americans guide to the EUROS and the premiere league ! It’ll help you understand the different events in football :)
Great idea, Shania! I'll look it up :)
10:16 you say you don't even know the teams. World cup isn't for teams, it's for countries. Every country has it's own league and that is one thing, World cup is the other. For example- Ronaldo now plays in englih league for Manchester Utd, but when he plays in the World/ European cup he's in team Portugal (his countrys' team)
(European) Soccer explained for americans - Theondeckcircle
You should react to this one it explains how football work with a little more depth :)
I enjoyed your reaction, my friend though, in England, which boasts the world#s greatest football league which is The Premier League, the difference each year between being in the Top 2 Divisions is not $40,000,000 but $240,000,000 and there is also another domestic English Cup each season called The League Cup which is also played midweek so the very best 7 or 8 teams could be involved in the later stages of 4 competitions so, occasionally, rest their players. In England, there are 4 Divisions in the League involving 92 independent Clubs/Teams and 11 divisions altogether in the Football League Pyramid. THere are over 7,000 teams in The Country :)
And that happened this past season. Liverpool lost the league by 1 point to Man City, lost the Champions League final 1-0 against Real Madrid, but won both the League and FA Cups, thus playing the maximum number of competitive games possible in a single season.
@@robinjohnston24 Yes,they certainly gt a Round Robin:)
What American sport needs is not so much innovation regarding the sport themselves, but the format. The franchise model doesn’t allow anything on a grassroots level. It’s a closed circle and by extension you just don’t get the same connection. If rich people get into football (soccer for you), they take a risk.. but it’s not really seen as an avenue to make huge money, it’s more of a passion and money sink in order to win, if they then creates a revenue that’s usually considered a byproduct. Nevertheless, they’re gonna get huge publicity regardless of direct losses, so they’re probably gonna earn it back regardless, at some point… whereas in American sport.. the owners are all in it together to earn money, and that closed environment creates a barrier.. but if that’s all you’re used to, you don’t really know what you’re missing, except if you go to Europe and watch football in the stadium or watch RUclips clips and then traverse down the rapid hole. For many, sport as pretty much replaced religion; you go there every Sunday (or Saturday), you’ve a huge community, you’re devoted, you chant, you’re there through thick and thin despite what’s going on at home, there’s many parallels that can be drawn.
Then, same thing happens in South America. They have their thin in Africa and Asia and the champions of all confederations meet to play the club World Cup. In the old days, the champion of Europe would play the Champion of South America and then you had the best club team in the world.
Baseball is essentially a hyped up kids game called rounders where the rules are exactly the same except for the name and rather than kids plying it it’s grow men
Love your reaction about football.
Please react The beauty of football greatest moments. You will see all the greatest moments of football and the atmosphere in that video..
Appreciate it, Ditta! I'll really have to get around to more football. I'll check out this video!
Argentina 1986, that's a sore point 🤐
The teams in the Scottish Premier League have to play each other about 4 times as there are fewer teams in that league.
Thank you for this info, James! Good to know.
Basketball is the only sport in the usa that isnt stopped every few minutes to get All set up and play for another minute again.
Brazil. Powerhouse. Watch this: Brazil 1-7 Germany | Extended Highlights | 2014 FIFA World Cup

ANDIAMO A BERLINO PEPPE ❤
great vid!! you should do a reaction vid to ''A clueless america's guide to the premier league 2021/2022 season'' that will amaze you with the humor history facts and tips about FOOTBALL !!! keep them coming!!
hahhahaha that was not Top World Countries but the Hosts of each world cup.
If you want check UEFA national team ranking, or last world cup or european cup winners
This is without mentioning the Europa League and Conference League
And the league cup. World club championship, Charity Shield, European Super Cup, FA Trophy, FA Vase, League playoffs and the Cup contested by lower League teams.
I think that the old blanket statement is all but myth now.. Soccer is popular here.. the nbers do not lie, the tv deals are great. Participation through the roof, and attendance in many MLS games are 40-70k a game. That's just MLS..
Australias favourite sport is AFL aussie rules football wouldn't say cricket but yeah 👍
"ill call it football"
*Clicks like button*
Just to be clear, the "bad" US Men's national team would still beat the "good" US Women's National Team very, very easily.
I agree, idk about "easily", i think the women's team would give a fight, but if a had to bet i'd bet on the men's team
@@ha22el5 The score would be something like 15-1. Are you aware that the USWNT lost 5-2 against the FC Dallas U-15 boys a couple years ago?
@@lebrigand4115 Damn, did not knew that
@@ha22el5 The difference is insane. The Swedish women's team (one of the best in the world) lost to a 15-year-old boys team with 11-0. There is absolutely no comparison at all.
They Are playoffs in leagues below premier league. two go up four teams in playoff one goes up. And FA cup my team Sunderland last trophy was FA cup consider the biggest upset in history victory against mighty Leeds
Thanks, mick! I'm starting my journey into really learning the leagues and spot much more. Have some basics down, and dabbled in a few World Cup games but that's all, so far.
@@californianreacts I dude Claudio renya played for Sunderland one of America best ever players his son plays for Borussia Dortmund and America he was born in the same hospital as me so could have played for England. Also we have America player lynden gooch who 24 now been here since he was 13
@@mickmackem1479 Good to know! I didn't know about these players, very cool! I'll have to watch it more.
@@californianreacts yeah football mad in north east England nephew just got a ticket for match tomorrow shame our team been crap for years in the 3rd league still in the top ten teams in history for league titles we are huge club stadium is 47k most teams lucky if it 10k shouldn't be here but have new owners son of a billionaire hopefully things get better
that map is innacurate in britain in wales you either like football or rugby (other sports too but those are the most popular in wales also england( youve also got cricket and golf popular but not like football or rugby(football is more famous than rugby but rugby is rugby football originally(it is an actuall type of football diverged from rugby (a place)
Yo bro Novak Djokovic is my absolute favorite. Who’s yours? 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Novak Djokovic is an absolute beast when it comes to tennis! I've always enjoyed the style and grace of Federer and the aggression of Nadal. Waiting for up and coming dominant players but it's been over 10 years and no one new seems to have popped into the tennis scene.
English teams play alot more games also than the mainland europe
At the 2020 Olympics Canada beat the USA women in their pool match 3- nil.
Thanks for this info, Barrie! I missed it, bummer!
And the us women team bitched and moaned afterwards, because Canada had a trans player
Strange to me that somehow England and scotland didnt make it on the map for cricket 💀💀 considering thats the place it came from...
There is this video on RUclips "Why Americans will never accept soccer". I would be very interested in your opinion on this.
Thanks for the suggestion K Sta! Saved to react to. Being neutral as of now for "soccer" and sports in general, I'll try to give a truthful reaction to it for myself, and my fellow Americans and where they generally stand on these things.
@@californianreacts Thanks for your answer! It is called "Ted Talk, - Why American will never accept soccer", uploaded by Kelsey Ohlbaum 8 years ago. I am really looking forward to your reaction!
British football has a slightly more tribal, prumal feel to it, than European football.
Violence between rivals was common place. It's much less frequent now, but in the lower leagues, it's still pretty prevalent.
This shows in chants and the atmosphere at some games.
You can feel the anger and coming violence in the air which is very enticing to a primitive part of our brains.
men team now is the most talented assemble team in american history.
US men's football team are pretty decent for a nation that ain't known for playing it.
Please watch
The sports the UK has invented
Can you react to 'A Clueless Americans Guide to the Premier League' please
we dont call it soccer, its Football (they kick the Ball with the Foot, kinda self explanatory, they dont for example pick the ball up and run with it like Rugby)

USA plays world series, they are world champions and they play only each other haha, how stupid.
