2:55 yes. the goal difference does play the part if 2 teams have the same amount of points. that often comes to play in group stages of world cups for example
Soccer is actually a slang term that English children came up with. Like how rugby is sometimes called rugger.
You can absolutely win more than one trophy. This is commonly called the Double, Triple, Quadruple, etc. A double is doable. Anything above that is insanely hard.
Win lose matters points. Winner of the league is decided by points.
But if the point between two teams are same, then the team with better goal difference is ranked higher.
If the goal difference also same, then the team scored most goals is ranked higher.
If still its same, then the match result between the teams in question is checked.
Nice one again bro! React to 'Unforgettable Goals that cannot be repeated' to see some amazing goals throughout the years!
Yessss☝️
6:00 you still get a trophy in every division whilst also getting promotion but not all promoted teams get a trophy only the champions
Ohhhhhhhh so only way to get is champion that's fair that makes sense
Yessirrrrrrrrrrr another Flamo upload 🔥
Kinda surprised ur system in the USA hasn't been adjusted, European Football yeaaaaaars ahead Sir
Just for fun.
Number of trophees an English first division team can win if everything lines up perfectly. To get this set up you need to have the ideal setup in the season before.
1) The single game between the national league winner and the national cup winner.
2) The game between the European champions league winner and the Europa league(champions league smaller brother winners.
These are obviously not seen as important, they're more games to bring in some revenue and you get a trophee. Olé.
3) World cup for clubs(world cup itself is for national teams), this you qualify for by winner the champions league. In short, champions league winners vs South-America leagues winner vs North America and Caribean winner vs Asian cup winner, etc. Europe obviously wins this in most cases. Again, not seen as a big deal.
4) The league, this is used to qualify for Europe under normal circumstances but as the champions league winners you automatically qualify.
5) The cup. In England this would be the FA cup. I think it's like 160+ years old by this point.(began in 1871-1872 season)
6) Because England, that other cup that nobody really cares about. Most other leagues only have "THE" national cup. This is just an addition, again, mostly because money. Teenagers play this one a lot. A lot of stars get rested. etc.
7) The champions league.
So for 3 of these you need to qualify the year before and for the champions league in England you need to finish top 4 in the league.
If you ended like 15th you can only win the league and the 2 cups.
A typical timeline of a football fan will start in
July: with the preseason friendly games, kind of like US exhibition games, this normally means big teams playing in the States or more medium sized teams playing against random opponents they have arranged to play.
August: Not long after Champions League and Europa League qualification begins, half of the teams in these competitions have already qualified based on their result the previous season that ended in May, but the final spots are made up of teams that will play each other for the last spots, this is normally a 128ish team knockout, with teams from places like Iceland and Luxembourg in the early rounds with clubs from bigger nations joining in the last few rounds. Brackets don't really exist as its common in football for draws to happen, not draws as in 0-0 2-2, but where names are pulled out of a ball like the lottery to decide the fixtures.
After the Qualification begins the leagues often start, not all leagues start at the same time but its normally at some point in August. These will normally be played on weekend, occasionally Mondays/Fridays, and the odd midweek game on Wednesday. Some countries play a super cup to start the season, Superpokal in Germany, Supercopa del Rey in Spain, this is where the League winner plays the Cup winner, this game you'd think from an American perspective would be the biggest game, but most people don't value it highly.
A few weeks into the season Cup games which often happen midweek start, these are separate from the league tables and will see teams play teams from other divisions, these are domestic, ie you only play teams from your own country. Cup competitions often predate the league since back in the day leagues where harder to arrange as they required season long commitment from teams rather than playing a few games at a time like a cup. Cup games often lack momentum as they are played weeks apart but they are an important traditional part of football. The league is only valued more as it is the fairest competition, it doesn't have upsets, truly the best team wins, but the cup allows for more underdog stories.
September: Champions League/Europa League group stage begins, this will be 6 games, where you play each team twice, similar to how the Bears have to play the Packers, Lions and Vikings twice a season, the groups are random though as different teams, from different countries enter each year. this last from September to about December.
October to New Years: The season runs as normal, some countries like England and Scotland have two Cups, one called the Leagues cup, normally its ______ Cup after a sponsor, like Carling Cup, Carabao Cup, Viaplay Cup and the more traditional Cup ie the FA Cup or the Scottish Cup. The traditional one features every team in the country where as the league Cup is only the ''league'' teams, which is a term that describes the top 4 leagues in the country ie the leagues that are fully pro and not semi pro/amateur. This is minor but its important to know. Most places dont do this.
January: at this point the season is underway, the Champions League and Europa league group stage will be done and top two teams from the groups of 4 will progress to the knockouts and the 3rd place team in the case of the CL will play an extra round against the 2nd placed EL teams, both tournaments then having 16 teams that will drop to two for the final. at certain weeks during the last 5 months there will have been breaks for national teams to play in friendly matches or against each other to qualify for the World Cup or the Euros(the Euros is the WC but just for European teams, each continent has one). We might also be down to the last 16 or 8 teams in the Cup. The league will be halfway done, we often look at the team who is top of the league at Christmas as the team who will win the league, or if they fall off and choke we say, 'how could you do that you were top at Christmas'.
May: Most seasons often end about May, just like how the leagues start at different times they will often end at different times, if the top teams is so dominant that they have more points than the second place teams and the second place cant mathematically catch up they are crowned champion before the League ends. The Cup finals in most countries happen after the last matches of the league have been played, and that ends the domestic seasons in most countries. Teams that finished in the top 4 places in England, Spain, Germany and Italy are now in the Champions league for the next season. Other countries get less spots which is unfair and maybe the only big downside to Football in Europe.
The Champions League final will now be played in late May early June. This is at a neutral venue that will be selected ahead of time, like the Superbowl, except tickets aren't a rip off so that only the elites can go. There are no halftime shows and only people who like Football will watch it, you won't have watch parties where people make stupid bets and only watch for the singer, not acceptable behavior. in Europe. After the Champions League the season is over and the preseason games begin a month later.
Other things: Transfer of players can only happen during transfer windows, if a player has a contract at a team for say three years and he has only been there a year then he can only move to another team for a fee during the window, these windows normally start at the end of the season and will close a few weeks into the new season, and there is a second window at Christmas to late January. You can sign players outside these time periods but they can only play once the next window starts.
These rules are consistent because European football has an Organisation that maintains every thing called UEFA, often labelled UEFA MAFIA by many ultras. They control the Champions League, they are very corrupt but are necessary evil to maintain order. 2 years ago twelve teams from England Spain and Italy tried to break away from UEFA and found their own league and this failed hard because the fans saw that this was only for greed and they protested, and they had to step away from their multi billion dollar plans.
Last thing is that every two years Either the Euros happen, or the World Cup happens, this is the biggest and most important event in the whole sport, so pretty much 2/4 years there is no off season, meanwhile the off season of college football lasts 8 months, sheesh.
South American seasons start in January due to their seasons being inverted because they are in the Southern Hemisphere, some countries like Japan and the US also do this for their leagues. In Brazil in particular the season starts with state leagues since Brazil is so big it has individual states that are comparable to countries so they play a league competition which last 3 months before the real league starts in about March. Non Brazilian Leagues in the Americas in places like Argentina and Mexico often split the league into two halves with a champion awarded in the middle and at the end so there are two national champions a year plus the cup, I have no clue why this is and this will be foreign to even die hard European football fans but considering Argentina's influence on the world stage with Messi, Maradona, teams Boca Jrs and River Plate and their World Cups I'd thought I'd mention it.
I don't know if anyone read this but thanks if you did.
It was a lot, but all true…
@@plantepedellen why thanks man, I know my stuff and appreciate you reading it
What I can recomend to understand football better, is to play Fifa. It's way easier to understand the sport that way than watching explaning videos, you feel me?
I PLAYED FIFA BEFORE MANY YEARS AGO IT WAS SO FUN💯
I dont know where he got the stat from that most teams that get relegated get go bankrupt, seems not true, it is common for a team that drops say 2-4 divisions over a few years to go bust, but going from the Premier league to englands second tier wont make a team dissapear.
Well in the United States we have the Lamar hunt us open cup and it’s one of the qualifying tournaments for the champions league for concacaf region and in MLS the league champions with the most points overall gets the supporters shield and MLS cup trophy and the champions league send our club winners to play for a trophy and a spot for the club world cup
6:30 there are alot of trophies but the main ones apart from league trophies are european trophies for example, the champions league is the most prestigous trophy in the world to actually qualify for it alone in the premier league (the top division of the english league) for example which is the hardest league in the world you would have to finish in the top 4 in the league table just to qualify to play in the champions league next season and then in the competition you will play the best teams in the world theres also two other europeans trophies called the europa league and the conference league and to play in them you would also have to finish at a certain position in the league table but they dont come close to the champions league. there are also a lot more small trophies but they dont really matter
i didnt realise it explained it in the video 😑
@@Izuna301 The video does over it a bit fast and doesnt make it clear when the champions league runs, he might think the league is played then the UCL, I know it says they start in September but it gets lost.
🔥🔥🔥
I know I'm spamming but another difference is we do not have a draft, players here will sign at an academy, which is essentially a youth team ran by the bigger clubs. The whole idea of playing sports for a high school team and then getting a college scholarship and then getting drafted is an American invention, most likely done to increase the brand recognition of colleges and make people want to go to them more. The concept of being a rookie doesn't exist, since most players will play at a professional level at as young as 16, maybe in a weaker league before then getting bought by a team from Europe or England. trades dont really happen that much, players are just bought and sold.
3:00 yea the whole point is just to win but say 2 teams at the top of the league had the same amount of points at the end of the season it would go to gd (goal difference) which is how many goals you scored overall minus how many goals you conceded overall so say you scored 80 goals in a season but conceded 30 your gd is 50 so whoever would have the higher gd would win the league so overall you still want to score as many goals as possible also just to secure the win
What if 2 teams in the division has the same amount of points does that mean they gotta battle it out?
@@ItsFlamoFTW no its the same thing whoever has the higher goal difference will finish that place higher
Most of the leagues in southern Europe use the matches between the tied teams as tiebreaker before GD.
@@ItsFlamoFTW Different rules in different countries, most have a list of tie-breakers and not a play-off but it different countries do that part different.
Yes each league will get a trophy for winning that said league.
2. You can double winers which is called doing "the double" if you win the league, the cup and that championa league its called "the treble" there is another 2 trophies you can technically win in england because they have 2 cup competitions and you can also win the super cup which is the winner of europa league and the champions league winner
The number of divisions varies from country to country but England has 4 professional divisions, and the top 5 are all national ie its one table, 6 tier is split into a North League and South League and it gets divided more from there, This goes on to the amateur level, as far as like tier 15&16 which could have hundred of teams in them alone.
Yes its possible to win multiple trophies in one year. For example, last season man city won not only their own league but also the cup and Champions league. They won the so called treble, which had only happenned once before by an english team
Celtic too, we have a quadruple
The main difference between the table/leader board in our sport and yours is that we don't use a win/loss ratio. we use a point system. All that matters is wins. If two or more teams have the same points then we use a goal differential, ie your goals scored minus goals conceded, and that could be 30 or something.
4:40 in some places of England there are about 20 divisions

flamo you definitely have to watch actual football moments now like best goals of all time or the beauty of football
I agree ima get to that soon👀💪
The main benefit of Relegation is that it means if your team ends up really poor financially they can simply drop down to a more level playing field. Rivalries will exist still even if teams aren't in the same league, which makes rival team reuniting and getting to face each other so much more intense in cases where they have been separated for years. .
It also means you can have as many teams in a country as you like since there is no limit, unlike say the NFL which can only have 32 teams.
Expansion teams are a foreign concept outside the MLS.
It also means teams aren't relocated since if a town had a team in say 1910, that team will still exist, where as in say the minor baseball leagues in the US, teams that are financially poor get moved, sold, rebranded, or their spot is simply sold to another team for profit, that doesn't happen here. Most towns in the US might have a minor league team but they wont be a rock of the community the way our teams are, even if the team has gone up and down the divisions they still remain.
It also creates a system where theoretically any team in England can enter the Premier League if they win enough, money isnt a factor, you also cant just buy your way in. This season in the Premier League there will be a team called Luton who were in the 5th tier of English football, an amateur tier with semi pro players, and now they will be playing Manchester United and Liverpool. Their stadium is infamously small fry and has an away section where you need to enter over peoples backyards to enter the stadium.
The reason the NFL is the richest league and its teams the most profitable/wealthy is that they reward failure. They wouldn't let a 'Luton' into the NFL, a league that chooses where it puts teams based on financially factors is not a team I would view in a friendly light.
The whole soccer thing is interesting to me, you see there are multiple sports all called football, this is because they all have similar origins in England. The main five footballs would be Association football named after its governing body, the football association, which is now the entity that organises the England national team and the FA Cup, this is simplified to soccer. Soccer was actually semi used regularly in England and Scotland until the 70s where it fell out of popularity, most likely due to its use in US media, where its often a butt of a joke.
There's also Rugby football which has two different versions with similar rules called Rugby Union and Rugby League.
There is also Australian football which is a completely different sport which actually predates Association football and Gaelic Football which is played in Ireland.
When Rugby came to the US/Canadian colleges it developed in to Gridiron football which is played in the NFL and CFL
Now the important thing is, what ever version of the came you are more familiar with, you should call football.
This is apparent in Australia where both Australian rules football and Rugby league are king, but the country is divided East to West on what one they like, so AFL fans will call their game football/footy, and Rugby league fans will call their game Football/footy. They will call the other game by its nickname Aussie rules/rugby. Most Australians call association football soccer.
When this comes to the USA, its fairly simple since the NFL and College football are king, so they get called football and the lesser sport in terms of popularity is called soccer, its nickname. HOWEVER, HOWEVER THIS IS THE PROBLEM. you have people in the US, who dont like the NFL, and who only like association football and will watch the MLS or Premier League, the problem is when these guys still call it soccer, like that defies the entire system, you dont call your fav sport a cheap nickname. Those people ruin it. I dont care if people who dont watch our game call it soccer, but if you are going to MLS games and still calling it that you are a mong.
When a team goes bust, ie they run out of money and cant afford their stadium/player wages, they essentially no longer exist and get kicked out of not just their own league but the whole pyramid. This would be the end of the team in any other sport but in football fans care about their clubs too much to let them get forgotten just for losing too much money, so the fans will often come together to revive the club and they will start again at a lower tier and work their way back up, this has happened to some pretty big teams in Italy and once in Scotland as well as to smaller teams in England. American fans will just move on with their life if their local minor league team disappears, we dont.
However many points you score? You mean GOALS! You don't even understand the rules, do you?
I know what a goal is smart one
Why you so rude you asshole.
And yes you can even 3 prizes. The league the cup and the championsleague.
The champions league used to only the champions of each country competing ,
There also used to be a cupwinners cup , where cupwinners would face each other in a simular competition.
And then the eufa cup that consisted of teams ranked number 2 to 7 .
All that changed , In to the champions league where even 2nd 3rd 4th placed teams can play eventhough they never won the league .
The cup winners cup is replaced by the Europa league
And the eufa cup by the confrence league .
A sad ocasion where money takes president of sporting achiefments , and the reason why people are disgusted by pay to win leagues and teams like england and spain .
