for a club, champions league is the most important
for a national team, world cup is the most important
and nobody cares about olympic
neymar dont forget
Messi cares that's why he's the goat bc he has a gold medal
Thats why mexico and thr african teams go wild in those 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 this the one
@ yeah, usually the u23s plays the olympics.
The World Cup, it’s also every 4 years but it’s way bigger compared to the Olympics
Yes sir
Yeah and also in world Cup u have to qualify to be in it
And to win the World Cup is better than winning the champions league
BUT THE MAIN REASON IS THAT THE WORLD CUP IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. UCL is the best CLUB of every country from the leagues. World Cup is every 4 years as well making the intensity greater.
This is because the players that the manager thinks were the greatest of the season gets picked and there is 11 players on each team that plays
“What’s the point of having soccer in the Olympics if you have the World Cup?”
Every football fan: Hmm, good question. . .
Duck WC when u wanna be best on your continent. WC 2 years Continental Champions 2 years WC. When u play on olimpic u use second or even third squad
Back in the early 1900 and late 1800 the gold medal was the world cup prestige
Than the real world cup was invented
@@tpsam well VERY LATE 1800 as first "modern" olympics was 1896 so there was just one in the 1800 xD
Is a simple answer actually: in Olympics are allowed only players younger than 23, on the other hand at World Cup are no such restrictions.
Football fans, juzt cuz we got MO' FOOTBALL!!!

You already get my respect for backing relegation. Some of the best football matches I've seen are teams fighting relegation, makes for intense football.
8:10 he said “club” competition, in the world cup you represent your country not your club
I dont know what is the problem in Basketball its the same NBA is the league were play the "clubs" and then USA is the national team that play in world cup.
@Landon Reihs This adds nothing? All that was said was that the 'club competition' and the 'world cup' structure are the same for European Football and NBA Basketball
@Landon Reihs I know XD im from Spain i saying that to person that dosnt know how fotball is
No..the key is he said "club" soccer
I like the fact he wants to learn the most he can about soccer. Takes a lot of commitment
His reaction when he heard no playoffs 😂
Actually some lower leagues have playoffs
nah they do, but mostly when it comes to promotion/relegation to higher or lower leagues and qualifying for international tournaments
You can’t have playoffs in big leagues. Are you imagine how many games teams will play 😂

No one cares abt the olympics.... the world cup is the most important trophy for national teams (ex: france spain portugal etc)... the champions league is the most important trophy for club teams (barca madrid psg bayern etc)
there is important too the continental cups like Eurocup
funny how the world cup was first the olympics and then became its own thing
There’s a difference between club and national soccer. Club teams consist of players from all around the world who are bought and sold by clubs. The national teams only have players from that country and have separate competitions. The champions league is club, the world cup is national.
The reason for 3 points for a win is because when it was 2 teams were much more likely to play defensively to get draws and the guaranteed point, so they changed winning to 3 points to encourage more attacking play.

id love to see you react to leicester city winning the premier league in 2016. they got relegated only a couple seasons beforehand, but got promoted again and won the title. greatest underdog/sporting upset story ever.
I don't really think he would 100% get the achievement. It's harder when you have no prior knowledge of who the best teams are and how leagues really work
@@averagebeetle that’s true
Even better than that Darra as they were 100/1 ON***** to get relegated when tailed off at the bottom the previous season and made the most miraculous escape to stay up. THEN they lost their Manager during that Summer and they were 5,000/1 ODDS to win the league....
*****100/1 ON means risking £100 just to win £1. THat is how certain they were to get relegated !
Your reactions are hilarious dude, Keep up the good work!!
Actually, everything said in this video about soccer (football) also applies to the 5 other continents (North and South Americas, Africa, Asia & Oceania).
Since you're (north) american, let me explain how it works for you:
1-While Europe is called "UEFA" in soccer, North America is called "CONCACAF".
2-Like europeans, each country in CONCACAF, all the way from Canada to Panama, have their local leagues (yours is called "Major League Soccer").
3-Unlike most 1st division leagues in the world, Major League Soccer (MLS in short) does not have a promotion and relegation system. On the opposite your lower divisions have it. Also, MLS is one of the few leagues to host playoffs after the regular season, and the only one with conferences. The only league which exactly works the same I can think off is the australian A-League, without the conferences.
4-Despite all of that, USA's soccer federation still host a national cup on the side of the MLS, so you have like 2 playoffs tournaments during the season! lol
5-CONCACAF, like every region in the soccer world, host their variant of the Champions League each year: the CONCACAF Champions League. While in Europe we have 32 clubs running for the big title, in North America, you have 16 clubs from multiple countries (including USA), running in a true single elimination tournament (there is no group stage in your variant)!
This bouta resolve so much confusion you had before😂
Also everything other than the olympics and the world cup is club teams like barcelona and psg but the world cup and olympics are international like spain and france so for club the champions league is most important but for country world cup is the most important. Also support chelsea they are exciting and have a good future
as a brazilian i can say, world cup got the more clout, then champions league
Definitely
Obviously because the whole world watches it
U just sayin that cuz brazil has the best record in the wc lmao
@@bradyvincent9490 yeah but it also has the most popularity
@@koolboy8622 The competition as a whole does, but the UCL final is the most watched single sporting match in the world so it could really go either way
Also, players that have not won either yet tend to want the cl more, and players that have won one or the other just tend to want the one the haven't won yet more
Pick the team you feel the most connected to, the team who’s play style you like the most. I’m a Man United fan since I grew up with my dad being one and I love them to death. It’s all about finding that love and connection for a team and stick with it for the rest of your life.
as a brazilian i still value soccer in olympics cause the teams are U-23 (with 3 players with no age-limit), so its kinda a 'rookie world cup' for more structured and/or traditional national teams, some young players get the time to shine (even lots of them are already playing in the best international clubs)
"That's like the olympics"
Lmao bruh it's dope to see you interested in learning
Hugs from Portugal Bronco 🇵🇹
yOUR REACTION WAS THE BEST I'VE SEEN FOR THIS VIDEO AND HILARIOUS TOO
Awesome reaction! You have a great energy
And just wait until you hear that every continent does the exact same thing, talking about the league, domestic tournaments, and continental tournament, and and the end every champion of their continent play in a continental cup call the Club World Cup.
Try reacting to a full 90min match! I think after watching a full match, you can appreciate the player's skills and goals better because you'll see how hard it is to pull off!
Lmao good video man, mad funny when you was throwin the set up lmaooo
From this to doing weekly prem and ucl reviews. Love to see it man. Keep up the good work!!
I watch these videos and just wish I could hop in a call with him to answer all his questions and explain things more clearly
Word, he is getting very confused on things that are very easy to explain, in 2-3 min he would have more clarity just asking those questions
In the olympics only U-21 players can play the tournament, making it way less important than the World Cup
Nope, Olympics is under-23 and 3 players over that age by team can play in the competion
Haha. You earned a sub.
Greetings from England
You gotta understand that after the season in the different leagues is over, players often, rather than going into offseason vacations, are called by their national teams to play international tournaments. Besides, with club tournaments going simultaneously with the league games, big clubs have to managed the amount of games each player gets throughout the year, and whether to put more effort into winning the league, winning a cup tournament, while trying to get into next season's champions league.
"europea soccer" TRIGGERED ME , IT'S FOOTBALL , YOU PLAY WITH A BALL IN YOUR FOOT
I saw the Messi v Ronaldo game and out of all the players in the pitch Messi played the best. It was just his team that was not putting in work he fought till the end
Yeah he passed the ball 7 times to the opposition goalkeeper
A little background knowledge: Back in the day, before 1933, when there was no world cup, the Olympics were considered the the maximum soccer competition
Yes, although FIFA only recognizes the 1924 and 1928 Olympics, that is why Uruguay has 4 stars on its shield (2 Olympics (1924,1928) and 2 World Cups (1930,1950)
I love your videos you're the best keep it up 😍😂
The gang signs tho! LMFAOOO
The world cup you represent your countrie, in the champions league you represent your team
About the olympics you are representing your countrie to but normally managers just sent young players to play and gain experience playing together with each other
Btw great video
The soccer in the Olympics is for U23 national teams ( although each team can have 3 players over the age limit), and the World Cup is without age limit
Some countries have 3 domestic competitions running through the season as well as European competitions, so there is the potential for a team to win 4 competitions at the same time.
You also have the Super Cup which is the winner of the Champions League v the Europa League winners. The Europa league is a lower tier version of the Champions League for teams that didn’t manage to qualify for the Champions League.
Then you have The Club World Cup which is a mini tournament between the winners of the top continental club competitions (Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Asian Champions League, etc) around the world.
Then you have the Euros, Asian Cup, African Cup of Nations and the Copa America, this is where the national teams compete to be champions of their respective continents.
Then you have the World Cup which is self explanatory. Plenty of trophies to be won and excitement to be had.
World Cup definitely more important than olympics when it comes to football (soccer)
The World Cup is also every 4 years
Found this old video of Bronco being all confused about how football works in Europe. You really have come so far, bruh. o7
This is the first time I’ve seen a video of yours. Bruh, you are funny ah 😂😂 U earned that subscription
the world cup is international teams, like brazil and france, while the champiosn league is club teams, like chelsea and barca and real madrid. the olympics is u23 for international teams. also u should support chelsea london is blue
I've watched a couple American youtubers react to this video now and they always scoff at the 'no playoffs' part. I think what most of them struggle to realize at first is that a league season in soccer does not have the same character as a regular season in American sports, it's much more intense and singular games are significantly more important. you can't just compare European leagues to an NBA season with the playoffs detached. That of course would be boring and anticlimactic af. The lack of a playoff tournament plus the prospect of teams actually having to face consequences for performing badly makes the normal season itself much more suspenseful and better
and relegation is ensuring constant competition and improvement. If a team underperforms it will be replaced. If the replacing team is performing well, another team that performed worse will be relegated.
@@meganoob12 yep, that's what I meant by 'teams actually having to face consequences for performing badly'. American sports basically incentivizes owners to use their franchise as an easy cash grab. Why would I want to change and start to run my team with the objective to win if all I get for not doing so is the next big superstar, who I can use to sell tickets and jerseys for the next 10 years.
yeah in the nba and nfl it's common to see teams tank to up their draft picks and it just makes everything boring
Instantly saw the logic in relegation and that american sports need it. Much respect dude.
There is also the euros which is the national teams in Europe battling it out. Here in Europe its actually seen as more competitive in recent years as its been some time since there has been a real Challenger from outside of Europe like brazil or Argentina.
I'm a bacelona fan but you should not go for Barca we are in a decline right now I recommend Bayern, Dortmund, Liverpool or Chelsea and Manchester city
When u are fan u stay with club, even in tragic season....
I'm Chelsea fan and when in 2012 we won CL beating Barca in 11m shots I think next season was going be great, then we get relegated from CL to European League I was thinking what happened to my favourites.... But then we get a better and better won EL (only team in history that own CL and EL cups simultaneously). It's love, passion for the club..... Don't become a flag
They forgot the most important thing about it.
It is called FOOOOOOTBAAAAALL
1. World Cup. Largest sporting event in the world, ultimate clout if you win it since players may only get 3-4 chances in their career. However, many don't hold not winning a World Cup against you if you come from a worse national team, such as Salah on Egypt.
2. Champions League Final. Largest sporting event in the world when it's not a World Cup year. Happens every year, whoever wins it gets bragging rights for a year as the best club in Europe. Failing to win this competition will most likely be held against your legacy if you're a world class player.
3. Olympics. They got postponed in 2020 and nobody has said a word about it nor cares.
This vid is a W this man is gonna blow up on g
Can you react to Bayern vs Barcelona 8-2 game
It's called football man! The rest of the world calls it that. Americans 🤦
Best way to look at it is this... everything they are talking about in the video is club football. Those clubs can sign players from whatever nation (some leagues put restrictions on this some don't).
So like the team Neymar is on has French, Argentinian, Italians, dudes from all over.
The relegation thing is a trip...Imagine an MLB team getting dropped for a minor league club. It makes the last match day of the season pretty damn interesting.
Cool video, man.
Hi there from Spain.
Just for clarify some thing. Yup, the national ligue and the cup is played at the same time, difference from USA is that ligue games are only played on weekends, and cup games in days like Tuesdays or Wednesdays for the teams to rest. Champions Ligue is also played at the same time as ligue and cup (Wednesdays and Thursdays) tournaments, this has been a matter of conflict all over Europe whenever two teams face each other whenever one of them had less time to rest.
About the "soccer teams world cup", it doesn't really matters to fans, we feel that Europe is so powerfull in soccer that not other team in the world would beat us in a game, so whoever wins the champions ligue, is supposed to be the winner of the teams world cup.
About the "national world cup", it has a totally different meaning, this is played every four years and each player plays for their own country defending their land and people in the biggest soccer tournament of all time. The country who wins, takes it all, and as it is a ONLY SOCCER TOURNAMENT, it's usually considered more important than the Olympics but they are the same in theory but not in feeling.
Watch when he gonna more smart at soccer than the nba
Honestly you're dead right about promotion and relegation. It's the best part of European club football. Such a simple idea but it allows me to dream that the club that plays in my local park can rise through the leagues and eventually end up in the Premier League.
Each and every small town or village usually has at least one club, and bigger towns and neighboring towns have even a lot more than a single club (depending on country, "the cup" can have several hundred or even more than a thousand candidates), and those matches usually are the most intense because of those rivalries. the fans also mostly are much more loyal to their own regional club that already their grandfather was a fan of, no matter which league they play and whether they win or lose, much more than people who only select one random team from a fixed short list of teams that only went there because some rich person bought them a slot in the league and who never really can lose (be kicked from the league), and to whom they have no real connection.

Fun fact if no one has said, the World Cup started in the early 20th century BECAUSE Uruguay was kicking everyone's ass at the Olympics. They won two in a row, the World Cup started in 1930 and Uruguay won that too.
Also, the Champions League is the largest club competition, different to the world cup that is a competition between national teams.
The Olympics for Football are now a very secondary thing, countries take their Under-23 teams with 3 reinforcements from the full national team allowed. The World Cup and the Olympics are both every four years but as you can imagine they're not held at the same time.
MOREOVER! You have continental competitions every four years, the Gold Cup for North America, the Copa America for South America and the Euro for Europe just to name a few. The continental winners then meet the year before the World Cup for the Confederations Cup which is supposed to serve as a light version of the World Cup but not nearly as much attention is drawn to it.
The world cup is basically a national team, a team of One country only. Like Portugal, with only Portugal players, Spain, with only Spanish players, etc... And the world cup only happens once every 4 years.

There are now three different European club competitions. The top is the Champions League, where the losing teams of the qualifying rounds are transferred to the Europa League, then later the 3rd placed team of each group are transferred to the Europa League. The second-tier is the Europa League, which has the same process as the Champions League but now the losing sides of the qualifiers and the 3rd place teams get transferred to the Europa Conference League. The third-tier is the Europa Conference League. How many teams qualify from each country depends on the strength of the top flights among every country. England has 7- with the top 4 teams in the standing qualifying for the Champions league, 5th-6th place qualify for the Europa League, and the 7th place qualifying for the Conference League. Normally teams from the higher ranked leagues (England, Germany, France, Spain and Italy) get automatic byes to the group stages of their competitions. Normally it is teams from the lower ranked leagues (San Marino, Finland, Wales, Ireland, Hungary and Moldova) who have to go through the qualifying rounds of those competitions.
Also worth noting there's a 'Club World Cup' every year for winners of each continental tournament; basically the Champions League winner from Europe, and equivalent winners from South America, North America, Africa, Asia, etc.
U funny asl bro talkin bout fans repping they sets😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Champions league is a club tournament, all of the biggest clubs from each European country try to qualify for the Champions league. World cup happens every 4 years and it is a competition of the best countries in the world. Olympics do happen every 4 years like you said but my personal opinion on Olympics is the recognition of other sports like track, swimming, shooting, skiing and others.
So, World Cup and Olympics are World National tournaments, Champions league is a European club tournament.
I hope I did well.

Weston McKennie is American from Texas. He is on loan from the German club Schalke 04 to the Italian club Juventus until the end of the season, and will probably be bought for 18 million euros. Weston plays in three competitions. The main competitions are the Champions League and the Italian League. Juventus has little chance of winning the Italian league title, but the top three positions in the table are promoted to the champions league next season. Throughout the year, there are windows where the clubs are not playing, and this is national team call-up time, and then Weston plays for the US national team. Now he will play in the qualifier for the North American Federation CONCACAF, for the World Cup in Quatar in 2022
underaited bro
In England (and most other countries) there are two major trophies to be won. They run independently. First of all there is the league where you play each other twice and the team with the most points wins the league title based on the full season. At the same time there is another knockout competition involving all teams from the top dogs in the Premier League right down to amateur teams. In England it's the FA Cup. The last game, between the two teams left standing is the FA Cup final and the winner gets the FA Cup.
8:24
It would be better described like this.
1. You got the world cup (every 4 years) (nationality based teams)
2. You got the European Cup (every 4 years) (nationality based teams)
3. You got the Champions League (every year) (best teams of every country)
4. You got the Europa League (every year) (the teams that couldn't quite reach the champions league)
5. you got the cups in every country
6. and you have got the leagues in every country
The Champions league/Europa league is a club competition, World Cup is international teams, also the World Cup is more important because the Olympics is the under 21 team besides a couple of older people
good video youre funny man
Basically, the Champions League is held annually, while the World Cup is held every four years. Also, the Champions League is club teams, and the World Cup is based on which nation you declare to play for. Germans play for Germany regardless of where they play with their club.
Importance
1) World cup
2) champions league
3) domestic league
4) league cup
The Olympics are mostly a competition for young players and not important.
Abhhhhhh. This is maddening. Is my man playing a character or is this him?
To clear up the World Cup vs. Olympics, World Cup is the best nation vs. nation tournament, the Champions League is the best club team. Olympic teams normally have an under-24 age restriction for players.
Remember all of us we’ve been here since 35k subs so when u get famous remember the ogs
They forgot to mention about Euros,Copa da Ria(I think that’s how you spell it plz don’t bash me),The asian games,and multiple international tournaments that usually happen during international break or during the summer.
The video you watched was about club competitions. The World Cup, the Olympic football tournament are national competitions, where national teams call up their best players to compete in.
Also, each continental confederation has a tournament, where the finals happens usually every 4 years, alternating with the World Cup. Europe has the Euro, South America has the Copa America, North America has the Gold Cup, Africa has the Cup of Nations, etc.
All these tournaments usually have qualifying rounds, which are played in the 2 years before the actual finals take place. These games happen on predetermined times, called International Breaks, where club competitions are mostly put on hold for a couple of weeks while the national teams play each other.
One last thing, in keeping with the non-professional ideals behind the Olympics, the football tournament is played mostly by Under-23 squads. The 4 teams from Europe, for example, are the semi-finalists from the U-21 European Championship.
World Cup - national type of competition
Olympic - national competition but with restriction of age players
Champion league - club only competition but only for Europe.
There are lot of other competition beside those three that are prestigious too.
In Italy we have playoffs in each division below the first one. For example in the second division the first and the second get promoted directly, while the third team that get the promotion is the winner of the playoffs between 6 teams (from 3rd to 8th position).
Also there are the playouts, in the second division 3 teams goes in the third division directly, while the 4th team is the loser of the playout. (In the playout there are only two teams).
The difference between the Champions League and World Cup/ Olympics is that the first is a tournament among clubs, the latter are a tournament for national teams. In Champions League you have Juve, Barça, Real, Liverpool, Bayern, etc, which are country-based teams but have players from any nationality in them. On the other hand, in World cup you have teams made of only french, spanish, english, italian etc. players respectively.
Also we have both the World Cup, the Olympics, and the European tournament because each one of them isn't held every year so we can alternate between them(e.g. World Cup in 2006, Olympics in 2008, World cup in 2010 etc.). Oh and btw, as an Italian I'd take the World Cup over the Olympics any day.
Club football is teams from a particular town or city. International football (World Cup etc.) is a team made up from the best players in the country, whatever club team they're from, formed into a team to represent that country.
