Got my hopes up a little, when can we expect a croquet Canada pyramid video?

[@FootyLeaguesAroundtheWorld]

That’s coming next week on my side channel, Croquet Leagues Around the World

[@VICT0RLAZL0]

Wow Very well documented and presented Very informative Thank you 👍

[@FootyLeaguesAroundtheWorld]

Thanks for watching!

[@gregweatherup9596]

Excellent vid. Had I known you were in the research phase to do a video on Canada I could have sent you some information. Ultimately the only bits I would have added was some of the various history with CONCACAF always shafting Canada’s clubs at the continental level and how the Canadaian FA forced several lower division teams playing within the American “pyramid” to fold.

Thanks for watching!

Hopefully the premier league gets more expansions soon

Please do Honduras

Nigeria’s football pyramid?

[@nfsgod4308]

Do the american system

[@nixonball1014]

I wonder if there are any other countries whose clubs are so intertwined with a different countries pyramid or geography. Especially at the top where presumably the 3 best clubs in Canada are MLS sides

[@FootyLeaguesAroundtheWorld]

Great idea for another video

[@phil03242]

Wales, with Cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham and Newport County all playing in the English pyramid. Arguably also New Zealand, with the Wellington Pheonix and now a new Auckland club in the A-League (Australia). Basically, it seem to be the norm in countries whose pyramids are fairly recent and whose biggest clubs are usually older then said pyramids.

MLS is not a different country pyramid though. It's a joint pyramid. Same way hockey has NHL which has both teams from Canada and USA. Same with NBA

[@nixonball1014]

@@gamatoutsikos if I understand correctly MLS is given division 1 status by the Us Federation and but no status by Canada Soccer so it’s not actually joint from a fifa/federation/pyramid perspective which is maybe a technicality but to me makes it interesting.

[@BadMomos123]

Talk about Honduras

[@FootyLeaguesAroundtheWorld]

Your wish is my command.

Canadian football leagues are way smaller than i expected.

[@aidanwotherspoon905]

We have a very low population density. Eight teams is as many teams per-capita in Canada as a 32 team league in the States

[@benefiet]

@@aidanwotherspoon905 Ok. I'm from Belgium, where every village has a football club/infrastructure and every 1 on 3 boys is in a football club. But you guys have mountains and open space to do outdoor sports and icehockey.
