@@totallybored5526 The "World Series" is just a name and the international players of that caliber tend to make it to the MLB anyways. Teams moving to another city is upsetting but it doesn't happen very often. The playoffs in any American sport are really what make that time of year exciting. The regular season is simply a long period of time that determines playoff eligibility and matchups (bracket). Makes it way more exciting as a team that barely makes the playoff still has a chance to beat the team with the best record. You could compare this (while not as impressive but happens more often probably) to a no name club working their way up the leagues only they have a way better chance. Using the World Cup as a comparison: You could imagine that the regular season is qualifying matches and the playoffs are the round of 16 and onward.

@@CMJames That definitely has to do with it. I think if I really got into soccer more and began to have a deeper understanding of the rules I'd appreciate it more. I agree there's definitely more to soccer that I'm not seeing yet, however I still don't think it comes close in complexity to American Football. One of the similarities I picked up on was clock management. I noticed in the WC teams that were ahead would take their time getting the ball. I think I even saw somebody launch it into the stands (not sure how thats not illegal). All of this to try and waste what's left of the game time. In American football it's pretty similar. You have to run the bull instead of throw because the clock will continue to run if you're tackled within the boundaries. This forces the other team to use up their timeouts. What are other complexities of soccer I need to learn/look out for?

Do you really? When Americans say Hockey, they mean Ice Hockey, not the Hockey that's way more popular in Asia, Australia, South America etc. Baseball is a dumbed-down version of Cricket, another game that's very popular around the world and worth understanding. I'm not sure if it's possible to understand American Football. It seems like a stoppage occasionally broken by plays, a bit like Nascar, where many laps are done under caution. No wonder it hasn't caught on anywhere else in the world. There's a women's version where they play in skimpy gear, another only in America perversion.

They only won because of a sex tape in Thailand which resulted in 3 players getting sacked by the club. One of the players was the son of the manager; Nigel Pearson, who was guaranteed a few more years in the job as he had secured them promotion to the Premier League and were the third team in PL history to escape relegation after being bottom at Christmas. He was sacked due to the sex tape aswell. Claudio Ranieri joined and won the title in his first year in charge. Many journalists and player Riyad Mahrez gave the credit to Pearson for having built the team but would he actually have won it if he was in charge? I guess we'll never know...

This point is not at all for newbies, but I would still like to make it: the difference in playstyles in the different main countries English football is very physical and it has become quite "risky", as in teams attack in 10v10 situations exposing them selves to counters Spanish can be the most spectacular for the untrained eye, since you have lots of goals, mostly due to overall bad defences. This is the reason why Atletico put such good shows the last few years. Simeone taught them how to defend as a team And finally my favorite, Italian football, which is less a sport and more a constant class in tactics. It is more physical than spanish football, but you notice that big teams, very rarely win with a huge goal difference. This is because italian defenders are beasts, even in smaller teams. Positioning and tactical thinking is everything in Italy, which can make it look super boring, but if you know what youre looking at, is the most satisfying

Response to Various Comments: I am aware I spelled the Premier League with an extra E, I was just making sure you were all paying attention ;), thanks to the 147 people who have commented about it; I'm glad someone made it that far into the video. The map is messed up, I didn't draw it, or realize it was messed up when I published. I didn't discuss South American leagues because they get a lot less media coverage in the US, and that combined with the language barrier makes them tougher to follow for the American just learning about the game. I apologize I didn't include your favorite team on the list of popular teams; I went with who I hear about most in the US media.

Another mistake you made was that England AND Wales are both countries that are part of the Premier League (Wales is a separate country, but also part of the UK. Just remember that England and Wales are members countries of the UK just like the UK used to be a member country of the EU). My team Cardiff City was actually in the Premier League 2 seasons ago, but they and I are both in Wales. Also, Swansea, another Welsh team has played in the Premier League within the last 10 years. Additionally other Welsh teams (other than the two I've stated above) like Wrexham (recently bought by Ryan Reynolds, yeah Deadpool) and Newport are also involved in the FA Cup, League Cup and all of leagues between EFL Championship and what you call the "whatevs" leagues. Cardiff City actually won the FA cup back 1927 and got to the final in 2008. Swansea also won the League Cup around 2012. To confuse you even more; Queens Park (a Scottish team) also played in the FA Cup final in both 1884 and 1885. But this was because they were invited to take part. However, a few years later they stopped doing so as the Scottish League system developed and became seperate to the English and Welsh league system. Basically over 100 years ago there weren't as many teams as they are now so teams from Wales, England and Scotland played in some of the same competitions. The Scottish teams eventually stopped doing so, but the Welsh teams continued.

I liked the section on American objections- i never quite realised Americans drew a comparison with Hockey and Basketball because of how the pitch markings look similar. I think the video is good but the big thing is the appeal. Why do people enjoy football? The answer is actually easiest to understand when you sit in person at a live match, you can feel the excitement, the tension, you know from intuition when your team are playing well or poorly both from what you can see and how the supporters around you react: The anticipation when a player breaks through a defensive line; the groans when a pass goes poorly; the mocking jeers when an opponent makes a mistake; the cheers when one of your attackers outplays their opponent with finesse; the anger when the referee makes a decision that goes against your team; the fury when you feel a penalty has been unfairly given because an opponent fell too easily in the box; the shock when your team concedes a goal; the utter bedlam when your team scores and the satisfying euphoria of your team grind out a win after 90 minutes of slogging it out. You can watch a match on TV, but in person its a whole different experience. There is the common saying of the twelth man, which is the supporters as a collective. Fans are as much part of the experience as the players on the pitch.

This is why American football will always suck.They should involve the USL and make it a two league system, it would only help the leagues get better. About 4 years ago, I heard a German man, who spent 10 years in America, interviewed about American football. He said that MLS and American Youth Soccer were its own worse enemies. The lack of relegation/promotion was one thing. The other is that youth soccer cost money, a lot of money. And there were no programs for the inner-city youth. There was no promotion of any kind towards any financially disadvantaged youth at all. The German said that American athletic talent wasn't the issue , but American football was more geared to make money, rather than grow the sport. He went on to say that if done right, and with the proper promotion of the game, the US would dominate world football with the athletes the USA have.

In the English Premiership, we have had players who have covered up to 13.2Km (which is a little bit over 8.2 Miles) during a 90 min game. Now as an athlete, you would expect an intermediate to cover that distance in half a game ie 45 minutes, but remember that in soccer your movement is going to be a mix of sprints, small runs, jumping for headers, running with the ball, tracking backwards, and tackling, so to be doing an average of 5.4 miles per hour over the full 90 mins shows the stamina that elite footballers have to have these days. Soccer requires the most stamina of any current team sport

Their not Franchises they fundamentally belong to the area, the owners are only custodian of the club for the time they own it. In WW1 the government asked footballers to enlist in Pals Battalions, to increase enlistment of men from the local areas of clubs.

I found that in learning soccer, one thing that really helped me was to make friends with people who know and understand the game. My buddy is Portuguese and he invited me to watch games with him, and he'd explain strategy and what was happening, like why are these guys running to where, how the teams were attacking and defending each other. Once I had a bit of a baseline there, I found that going to watch my local MLS club definitely helped in developping an attachment to the game; watching soccer's a lot more fun when you have skin in the game. From then on, a desire to watch the best of the best play the game was sort of a natural evolution to it.

@Athrex The name is Association Football as opposed to its sister sport of Rugby Football. Soccer is an abbreviation of Association Football and what even the British would have called in in the 1920s. That's why ever English speaking country outside of Britain use Soccer because it was the correct term when the sport was imported. Now most English speakers know it as Soccer. The only reason there is so much force behind calling it Football is because most other languages were too lazy to come up with a new name.

In the Netherlands it's even slightly more different. There we have number 17 and 18 from the eredivisie that relegate and number 1 and 2 that promote from the second, but then we have like number 3 through 7 plus all of the teams that have won a period in the second division first duke it out with eachother and the winner there plays the number 16 from de eredivisie. Meaning the team that came in last could potentially promote if they won a period title.

I think your ability to hold the attention of someone who has played football for decades and is already very well versed in everything covered in the video, without using any fancy graphics, is down to your engaging tone and delivery. You see, too many people (frequently Americans, I'm sorry to say) think that you should hold people's attention by speaking loudly and rapidly and generally appearing like you've just done a few lines of the devil's dandruff. That might work on some people in the US, but here in Europe (and elsewhere, I imagine) that's a big turn-off.

Showing that the "five mile run" covers 5 miles on the "miles run during sports" bar graph was very helpful. Thank you for the inclusion. Seriously though, as an American raised on soccer/football and a longtime fan of the international and European game , you made a very relatable reference for the uninitiated American sports fan. I encourage every American interested in foreign leagues to also support their local MLS club if they have one. As you said, the quality of the on-field product is not on par with top European leagues, but the passion of the supporters and the live spectator experience is second to none vs other American sports leagues.

Its worth pointing out that some teams HAVE scaled the football pyramid in the UK. Its rare, but its not totally theoretical. Wigan got all the way to the premier league and won the FA Cup. They were the fastest team to ever go from founding to the top league. Leicester went from the 3rd tier of english football to winning the premier league 7 years later. And even if they can't win, regularly lower league teams have derailed the ambitions of larger clubs. Giant killings are a staple of the English game and are celebrated by neutrals.

Damn this actually reminds me of how I learned and started to appreciate soccer/football 6-7 years ago. It took a time for me to appreciate and enjoy the insane skill it takes to consistently make long passes or beat a 2-on-1 press. Now I watch football whenever I get the chance and basketball isn’t on. It’s my second favorite sport.

Not every player contract has a release clause. In Spain, it is required to have a release clause. If the player is really good, they just add an insane release clause that no one in their right mind would pay, let alone afford without selling all their players. There might be other leagues that requires release clause's in players contract but I'm not sure. In England it's not required and there are very few if any players that have them. Some teams straight up refuse to sign a player if they demand a release clause in their contract (like Liverpool did with Emre Can when he wanted a release clause in his contract when he was negotiating an extension). It's this way in England because they take rivalries very seriously. For example, the last thing Manchester United would want is to have a release clause in one of their best players contract and then have Liverpool just swoop in, pay it, and they just have to sit there and watch as they loose their best player to their biggest rival. Smaller teams also want to have control over the price of their players if they develop into good players that will interest bigger teams. That way, instead of having to honour a 3 or 4 year old clause that was appropriate for the player when he was young or shit, they can demand a fee they'll see as appropriate for his talent and thereby have the funds to spend on a replacement of similar quality or several players in hopes that one or more develope into great players. And even if the two clubs agree on a transfer fee for a player, the player can still refuse to move. If the player refuse to move or the player can't agree on a new contract with the new team, then the team trying to sell is shit out of luck. They must either keep a player they don't want and pay him his salery, or buy out his contract. Usually that means paying his remaining salery in one go as well as a fee for terminating the contract. Or they'll just go on as if nothing ever happened, this is usually how it goes.

In England there is no fee, but all players outside the star player at the very biggest teams have a price tag that clubs are willing to sell for. Example, is Jack Grealish is Aston Villa star player but a fee of about 100 million dollars he will be able to leave.
