Not quite the same as the Champions League, but in 2013 Wigan won the FA Cup and were relegated in the same season.
I'm from a city of 100 000 people in Sweden. We have 1 professional team in Swedish Allsvenskan, and at least two semi-professional teams in lower divisions. Then we have 20-30 clubs in the lower amateur leagues. On the local level, a derby is my village (5k pop) against the neighboring village team (10k pop).
Here most clubs have both male and female teams, a youth academy, and several youth teams (elite as well as non-elite ones). Many have teams in several sports (e.g. ice hockey, bowling, bandy, eSports, etc). Most teams were originally founded by students or workers.
yes is theoretically possible to win cl and get relegated, but the level required to win cl is so high that even if you play with half squad, you're probably gonna get enough points to finish your league at least in the top half
That is true because Chelsea does that everytime they win the CL
well, the champions league didn't exist that long so... but NĂŒrnberg, comes close to that, i mean, just a few years after winning the europa-cup '63, they ended up getting relegated as reigning german champion... a nine times league champion with a europa-cup win just five years prior to go down counts as one of the biggest sporting debacles in football history.
If a club wins the champions league they get placed in the next one automatically without needing to be in the top 4 in their league, if a club wins the europa league they get promoted to the champions league next season. so yes a club can be relegated and still play in the champions league, one of those two scenarios need to happen tho
Greece winning the 2004 Euro was heartbreak for Portugal, they lost the final to underdogs while hosting the tournament itself. It was also a heartbreak for a 19 year old Cristiano Ronaldo, it would have been Portugal's first major trophy, tho the first trophy came 12 years later in 2016 when Portugal won the Euro 2016 against France on extra time (Portugal being underdogs in that match especially when Ronaldo was injured in the first 30 mins of the match)
I think the Copa America will be played in the US before the world cup. Will be a nice test run
The World Cup has expanded and changed formats several times. For a long time it was 16 teams before expanding to 24 teams for the 1982 World Cup in Spain and then up to 32 teams at France 1998

Quite a number of European clubd are into other sports.. like Basketball, Volleyball, Futsal, and so on . The Euro league for Basketball has similar rivalries to that of football and the atmosphere is also insane.
Further north we also have football clubs with skiing, ice hockey, table tennis departments etc
There seems to be a tremendous misunderstanding about what the World Cup is, and what FIFA is. FIFA is the "federation of football federations," meaning that it is the world federation of the continental football federation. Each continent has its own "federation of football associations" - UEFA for Europe, CONCACAF for central and north America, CONMEBOL for South America, CAF for Africa, and so on (6 in total, as Australia is part of the Oceania one). Each continental football federation is a "federation of national associations," as each nation has its own football association.
Thus, the national football association is the body regulating and organizing all football competitions within that country (nation). This includes, of course, the league system (all the divisions) in that country.
The continental football association (whose members are the national football associations) is in charge with regulating and organizing all continental level competitions, be it inter-club (i.e. between clubs form different countries on that continent) or inter-country. Thus UEFA organizing both the Champions League, the Europa League, and the Conference League (which are Europe-level club competitions), as well as the UEFA Cup (which is between national teams, and happens every four years). Now, to participate in the UEFA Cup, given that places are limited, national teams take part in a two-year qualification series, and it's only the national teams that qualify from those that take part in the UEFA Cup. This is also why the UEFA CUp is , after the World Cup, the most prestigious national team competition - because of the general level of football throughout Europe, and that just some of the teams qualify.
Then, FIFA, which is the world level federation of football federations, is in charge only with organizing world-level football competitions - ie only the World Cup (which is played by national teams). (Of course, don't forget that there are football competitions, at all these levels, for women, for U21, for U19, for U17 etc ; but let's stick with the grown-ups, and men.) Now, to get to participate in a World Cup, given that the spots are limited, teams need to qualify, which they do by playing qualification tournaments organized separately in each continent. This, because there are a number of spots reserved for each continent, within the spots at the World Cup. Now, due to the global development of football, the level and quality of the sport, and the interest for it, has grown steadily, on all continents. To reflect this, FIFA started allocating more World Cup spots to the other continents, besides Europe and South America - especially Asia and Africa. But remember, the number of World Cup spots is severely limited for each continent, so even qualifying to the World Cup is a great achievement. (There are legendary football nations that have not qualified for a long time. And Italy, for example - Italy! a giant of the sport! - has missed out participating in the World Cup two times in a row now! Which is basically a national tragedy there.) USA is very fortunate in this regard, because in order to win the CONCACAF spots at World Cup it is playing in one of the weakest continental federations (second weakest, after Oceania) - where the only serious rival is usually Mexico (and yet US managed to not qualify many times). (Note that the host country always qualifies a priori, so for 2026 this will not be an issue. But otherwise it would be.) The hardest to qualify for the limited WC spots is from UEFA, of course.
Finally, I should add that, being the global body of the sport, FIFA is also in charge with setting the general rules of the organization of the sport (but remember, FIFA is not some floating entity from the outside, but is like the world congress of the sport, as it is made of all the football associations of the world, and they all get to vote - and all major decisions are taken with approval of the general assembly of FIFA, which is made of all the national federations.
So, when Corey asked, what can FIFA do to me, I'm an American, that denoted that he still thinks that football (soccer) is still a sport played "elsewhere", and US is separate. Instead, US soccer is part of CONCACAF, which is part of FIFA, and soccer (played anywhere) is part of this global system of the sports. Btw, the same is true for all the global sports - including basketball, hockey etc - they are all part of a global system of associations (eg FIBA for basketball).
And now perhaps you understand that winning the World Cup is such an extraordinary achievement (considering how hard it is to even qualify, and that it only happens every four years), that only 8 national teams have ever won it: (Brazil 5 times, Germany 4 times, Italy 4 times, Argentina 3 times, Uruguay 2 times, France 2 times, England 1 time, Spain 1 time). So any talk of "maybe the US will win the World Cup" is well-nigh touching on the absurd, when you look at all the countries that have been or are superpowers of the sport, and are not listed above. And the World Cup has been going on since 1930.
Boca Juniors was founded by Italians. We are call Xeneizes that literaly means Genovés. (Genova is an Italian city). Nearly half or Argentinians have some italian blood
Fratelli argentini, campioni del mondo đŠđ·đźđč
28:30 Look up the club Hashtag United F.C., it is a club founded by the english youtuber Spencer Owen (Spencer FC) and although it started playing exhibition games against professional clubs, it is now playing the seventh division of the english football league system.
In England, all the leagues have playoff to decide the final promotion spot (usually between teams 3rd - 6th), thus there is no playoff in the premier league.
do more videos like this please, itâs fun listening you both talk about footballâ€
The 2026 World cup theme is super emotional and lovely. You should have told Corey to listen the main part of the song.
It is possible to play champions league while in the 2nd division. Currently in Argentina, there's a club (Patronato) who was relegated to the 2nd last season while simultaneously winning the Argentine Cup (not the league). That cup win automatically qualified them to this season's South American Champions League (called Copa Libertadores).
Interesting story and they still have hope to reach the KO stage.
Not the champions league đđ

Great video once again. Love to see two guys interested in football and learning about it together. Cheers from Finland! â€
26:58 In Rio de Janeiro, because it's by the sea and have big lakes, boat racing was very popular in the turn of nineteenth to twentyth centurry so three of the four biggest football clubs of the city have "regata" in the name. Actually my team started in 1895 as a boat racing team in the flamengo beach area of Rio de Janeiro so they called themselves "Clube de Regatas do Flamengo" (regatta club of the flamengo), the football of our team just started 17 years later in 1912 when some boat racers that played football at the "Fluminense Football Club", wich is the only one of four big teams in Rio to not have regatta in their name, decided to split up and start a football team within the Flamengo club.
footnote: our basketball team just won FIBA club world cup in 2022
Loving the of guys, keep it up
Bottom 3 are relegated from the PL. The Championship (tier 2) 1st and 2nd place (Burnley and Sheffield United) have been promoted automatically. 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place go into the playoffs. In the playoff 2 legged semi finals 3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th. Luton Town (3rd) have beaten Sunderland (6th) and Coventry City (5th) have beaten Middlesbrough (4th). Luton now play Coventry in the playoff final this Saturday (27th May) at Wembley with the winner promoted to the Premier League
I didnât like the 2026 World Cup logo at firstâŠbut then I realized itâs a kaleidoscope of the three nationâs colors and shapes.
I'm amazed you didn't notice the logo is a fat 26 but because it's elongated it also reads as 2026 if you go from top to bottom, left to right. The plan is to use the black and white version as the base template and then each individual city will be able to add their own color palette, design, and spin on the base logo that is unique to each city and country. Also being simple means it can be reproduced quickly, accurately and easily in murals and t-shirts in the pop culture that surround the event.
one could create a new club and join the league pyramid. A recent example is Hashtag United started by a youtuber they have managed to gain promotion to the 5th tier of the English pyramid. Nex season they will play in the league that Wrexham played in this season. They men and women's teams also youth teams and team for the disabled, academies etc . They have more than a dozen teams
Since you guys were talking about the âCZcams experimentâ of starting a club, you should check Spencer FC. That guy did exactly that, but in England, and now they have a pretty well established club
For more context on the Europa League, I think the best comparison is the NCAA Tournament and the NIT. Teams who qualify for the Champions League do not play in the Europa League (unless they are knocked out of the Champions League group stage). And now with the Conference League, thereâs a sorta third tier below Europa League.
As this relates to the Premier League, the top 4 qualify for CL, 5 and 6 go to the Europa league, and 7th place goes to the Conference League. The FA Cup winner also gets a Europa League spot, and the League Cup (Carabao Cup) winner gets a Conference League spot. Most countriesâ leagues do not have as many qualifying slots for the CL, Europa, and Conference as England does. Other top leagues like Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, and Ligue 1 also get more qualifying slots than most smaller leagues!
Yeah its is theoretically possible for a club to win the champions league and get relegated. In 2012 Chelsea were having a terrible season , they were in mid table in the league, lost the first leg of thier champions league quater final match to Napoli by 3 goals , they got a new manager and it sparked a turnaround for them in the champions league , they went on to win the champions league beating Barcelona and Bayern Munich who were favorites. Tho they didn't get relegated in the league but they would have been kicked out of the league if they finished bottom 3. You should check their 2012 champions league run, its insane!
In England 100 miles is a long distance, in the US 100 years is a long time. So yeah 2 hours is basically the other side of the country to me.
You guys watchung the U-20 World Championship? It began last saturday in Argentina. US is playing.
The USA would have to heavily invest in public transit. Most people visiting the world cup will not want to rent a car in the US since there's too many cars and so many traffic jams everywhere.
I wonder if there will be charter buses offered for international fans. No doubt it will be a logistical nightmare. Someone will make big money by managing the logistics of WC26
@@lukessportsacademy usually it is the hosting governing body that has to pay for all of it.
36:00 we do tend to flop but that's because we are taught to try the ref from a young age, so when (some) players reach professional football it's already hard wired on them, but on the other side we HATE when people do it to us so despite Neymar being world class for a decade a lot of brazilians hate him for the flopping.
Soccer is a British word from the 1880's that just fell out of use before WW2 so the few countries that still call the sport by that word are doing nothing wrong. In fact those who attack people for not calling it football are in fact just showing they don't know the sport's history.
The Champions League winner automatically qualify to the Champions League next season as title holders
Europa League winner also qualify automatically for the Champions League next season
Conference League winner automatically qualify to the Europa League next season
Cup winners from top nations automatically qualify for the Europa League next season
So you can play in your country's second division and still qualify for UEFA competitions
Also, a CZcamsr did start a club a few years ago, Hashtag United. Theyâre a bit controversial due to tradition etc but they got promoted a couple of times and in the 7th tier of England league system I believe
AtlĂ©tico Madrid vs Real Madrid is kinda Yankees vs Mets in NYC...that the closest thing you can have a rivalry in FâœïžâœïžTBALL. In South America is so insane the Capitals have between 5 to 7 teams playing in the first division, and then teams represent neighborhoods on the big city so you don't dare to walk on those neighborhoods with a different attire bc they will make you respect the hood at the same way gangs flying different colors.
Cover the craziness for Clasicos in the different leagues in South America, especially search the word "banderazo [name club] clasico" (in Spanish isn't called Derby)
Confusing Mexico with Germany doesn't make you bad at *geometry.*
Confusing geometry with *geography,* however...
Did you confuse a joke with reality? đ
Just kidding friend. The geometry joke is something I say all the time. Itâs intentionally absurd.
The joke is that I am so bad at geography that I donât even know the name of the proper field of study.
The winner of a country's cup qualifies for the Europa League (or the new Europa Conference League), and there have been occasions when a team wins the Cup and ends up playing European football, but gets relegated in the same season. I can't remember a specific instance of a team playing in the Champions League and getting relegated in the same season; teams usually fire managers if they're performing that badly when the expectations are so high. The only exception I can think of is teams who were relegated as a punishment for some sort of cheating eg. match-fixing, financial irregularities etc, but obviously that wasn't a performance based flop.
If you're able to watch it, the Championship playoff final is happening on Saturday, it's known as the richest game in football even though it's second tier because of the massive financial gain of getting promoted to Premier League (I believe it's about ÂŁ180 million).
This year, it's happening between Coventry City (my local team) and Luton Town. 5 years ago, both teams were in League 2 (the 4th tier) and now one of the 2 will be in the Premier League next season. This is a meteoric rise, and when Americans are taught about the sport, this theoretical rise is often dismissed as almost impossible. Luton Town were actually in the National League 9 years ago, which is the 5th tier, the one Wrexham just won this year, so their rise is even bigger. Both teams have only lost 1 game since mid February, a run lasting 16 matches each at least. Both teams are (apparently) within the lowest 5 wage bills in the league, showing you how well they're both performing in comparison to how they would be expected to. Whichever side wins will be a fairytale story no matter what.
Coventry began the season on a massive losing streak. In the first 10 games, they only won once, were dead last 4 points behind 2nd bottom and 6 points behind the nearest team not in the relegation zone. The season started in August, and the first time they were out of the relegation zone was in November. Their home pitch had been used for the rugby at the commonwealth games in the summer, so the pitch was churned up and not suitable to play on, so had to postpone games and ground share in some instances just to make it through the season. Half way through the season, the owners of their stadium, Wasps rugby club, went into administration and Coventry City's deal to play football at the stadium came into question, but fortunately, Mike Ashley (Newcastle's old owners) bought the stadium and struck a deal to allow them to continue playing there. After all this happening, they did incredibly well to finish the season in 5th place and make it to the playoff final.
While Luton's season has been less dramatic, they finished 3rd, building on last season's result where they finished 6th and lost in the playoff semi final. They have an old fashioned stadium located right next to the houses, if you've been following football social media, you'll have seen that you have to go through someone's back garden to get into the away section of the stadium. It will be the smallest stadium to have ever hosted a Premier League match if they get there, however it's that old and they've risen up the divisions so quickly that it is in serious need of renovation and does not currently meet Premier League stadium requirements; they will have 3 months and have to spend about ÂŁ10 million just to get the stadium ready for next season if they do end up winning. Obviously, they will get a lot of prize money for making it so the money shouldn't be a big issue, but they're already building a new stadium and it won't be ready for 1-2 more years, so it would be a bit of a waste. However, the current stadium itself is a classic style British football stadium, and so it will be a shame once they move out; these style stadiums in the middle of a housing estate really are the heart and soul of British football culture, that's being lost because teams need up to date and larger stadiums that can no longer be built in the city and often end up on the outskirts instead.
Most neutrals really are struggling to predict the winner of the game, Luton are slight favourites with the bookies based on their finishing position in the table, however Coventry have recent experience with winning finals at Wembley, and both sides can defend incredibly well. Of course, being from Coventry, I'd love Coventry to go up, but I don't mind Luton going up as well because they were in similar circumstances over the past few years.
Something you might find interesting, the welsh football league which is very low tier crap but the actual premier league system is interesting and has been adopted by the scottish league system now also
Basically you play all teams home + away and then league splits into 2 and the top 6 play each other again home and away for european spots and championship and the bottom 6 fight to avoid relegation and the top positioned relegation battle team will get a euro qualifying spot
Think you might be interested in the system =)
I honestly donât understand how the US will cope with the World Cup, they have severely limited amounts of public transport and ways of getting around
Im from Dallas and im concerned too đ the only thing they have planned at the moment for my city is a dedicated bus lane on the highway to the stadium đ
@@fernandosalinas4055
yeah, that wonât cut it probably đ
The same way they did in the 94th World cup
They did it in 1994 and alson in the 1996 olympics.
As a new englander, it makes me really sad that our venue (probably the only venue in the region even capable of hosting the Cup) is so far away from Boston. Itâs arguably the best city in the entire country, it would be great to invite the world to such a unique and beautiful part of this country, but Gillette is in the middle of nowhere. Just a shame that Foxborough of all places is going to be our showcase to the footballing world.
"could a team lose every game in its league, get related and still win the Champions league ?"
The answer is yes, in fact, Sevilla FC one of the top clubs in Spain did something similar this season. They lose so many games that they were fighting to stay up while at the same time made it to the final of the Europa League. As of right now, they got much better in the last month and have secured their spot in the league and they will play the Europa League final the 31st of May against AS Roma.
Leicester made the champions league quarter finals and looked close to relegation for the first half of that season
Glad Cory brought up the Liverpool - United competition here. This is why its so important to play so hard at the end. Last season we had a chance to win the league again if AstonVilla had beaten City. Steven Gerrard was the manager there at the time and a Liverpool legend. Him and his boys truly played their hearts out for us. You could see how devastating that loss was on their faces despite it meaning basically nothing to their own standings.
West Ham have just survived relegation this season and they're in the Europa Conference League Final
So yes, you can bomb out and still be in a top competition in Europe.
Because you qualify the prior season lots of things can change by the time you're competing
In fact it's very common for non-top 4 teams to sneak into champions league for a season and the additional travel and games burns them out and they drop to middle table or lower the following season.
29:35 You maybe found interesting to learn about brazilian football because we have a more comparable size to us than to european countries but with a density of clubs similar to europe, so what happened was that each state developed like a country in europe with its own state championship.
There are actually some Twitch streamers that started a football club in Germany
Man city hasn't won fa cup yet, the cup final is on June 3rd against Man U. Man u is the only english to have won the treble in '99' and are in a position to stop city winning the treble this season which makes for a really interesting final as it is also the Manchester derdy cup final.
The problem I think with the American system and why itâs hated outside of America is people see it as just a money thing. When I go to a football game I donât need constant breaks I donât want to see a marching band or a T-shirt launcher nor do I want half time shows, it makes the sport just lose its value with football for us I go to the game I watch the game the fans sing chants through the 90 mins and can have displays before thatâs where the entertainment comes from, the fans make it. Also the community behind the teams just ainât there in America compared to here u grow with ur team itâs like a religion I want to watch what I worship basicallyđ not see any other stuff on the side
The relegation battle is just as exciting as the top of the table, all decided on Sunday between leeds Leicester and Everton playing simultaneously. Only one can stay up but would rely on each others results
I stress about the mass shootings in the US during the world cup, I hope you guys will sort it out
Can u put a link in ur channel to become a channel memeber
Not every club is profesional. In argentina we have like 3600 clubs to register in the association (AFA) But i think that less than 100 are professional.
Fa cup final is on June 3rd Man City vs Man united . City hasnât won it yet .

The soccer / football thing is always funny to me as it was the English who coined the word soccer as a shortening of 'Association Football' which itself was a term to differentiate the sport from Rugby Football at the time. It's a word that was used commonly in England right up into the 90's and early 2000's, yet now it's this bizarre reason to have a little fun with xenophobia. I think Americans and others who use the word get the last laugh out of this one as those who use it to insult others don't have any clue of its history and roots.
You should play football manager 23
Okay 15:45 we should of win that game easy but Greg Berhalter the Coach of the time parkât the bus that game he was bad coach The played are good not world class but good bus⊠ls sense the players are still kids in 2026 we are going to be in the quarter finals and if we have a Cinderella run we can make it into the simi and with luck we can even go to the finals because we will have a lot more experienceâŠâŠ đ
They rejected an incredible one, it's a world cup trophy made of the 3 countries.
If you want to know how it's like to create a club, i think you should do some research about LAFC (Los Angeles Football club) the club was created in 2017 or 2018 i believe, but i think you would need a lot of money, of autorisation, probably players who can attest they will want to play in your club or something, and the biggest "problem" would surely be where/how placing the club in a league
Also i just realised, but when you will do your monthly discovery about Brazil, there's literally too many legends and great players you will need at least 2 month
Bro. Greece didn't win the world cup. Only euro championship played between European countries
These Football Skills Should Be Illegal
The thing with French clubs is that France is a transcontinental country. They have clubs around all its territories.
Greece never won the WC, it was the euros and the euros is dope to watch also, Euros are a major trohy to win.
The actual logo was the image of an aztec symbol wrapped with a US flag in the middle and a canadian flag at the bottom. But the US opposed. They wanted the top to be the head of an eagle wrapped with a U$A flag, no acknowledge of Mexico or Canada đĄ
Ya gotta stop referring to the USMNT as a bad team man! Sure weâre not England or Germany or Brazil, but the American team is just about as good as itâs ever been and can legitimately hold our own against most of the world. Are we elite? Not yet. But weâre good. Good with a young team who could develop into great. There have been plenty of US menâs teams that were legitimately bad, but thankfully thatâs not the case these days.

if you need cheerleder to keep the fan entertained your sports shit and thaats before stoping for adds
Football âœïž is the greatest sport on the planet and so much of that has to do with the community involvement. (TIFOS) One might say, if you need Tifos to keep the fans entertained, your sportâs crap. Thatâs a bad take. To be honest, most Americans couldnât care less about cheerleaders. We would show up with 70,000 fans to watch the game without cheerleaders. In fact, most American football fans look at cheerleaders as a side show which distracts from our sport. I guarantee you, we are more entertained by the play on the field than by the cheerleaders.
As for the ads. Fair point. Our game is not formatted to be continuous. Ad breaks are an enjoyable time for fans to break out their own ball and throw it around in the front yard.
I love that my audience enjoys my videos, but just because I am a fan of football âœïž does not mean that I hate American sports now. Sorry.
A lot of people outside of America know all about American sports and how they work. In Britain there's a lot of it on tv, even live usfl.
