He didn't even win the league. He just won promotion lol

@@aok2075 he won the championship league

@@feetughe didnt he won the playoffs to get promotion

Dame is the Harry Kane of basketball

Ikr. Relegation battles are always some of the most entertaining matches in all of football. Hurt my soul to see both Leeds AND Leicester get relegated to the Championship this year. I imagine it was doubly worse for hardcore Leicester fans, since they won the Premier League title back in 2016

Also each player makes a much bigger difference in basketball like if Lebron gets hurt for the season the lakers get relegated even though they aren’t the worst team in the league

@@Baruch.Spinoza well if they are the worst team in the league without lebron then they get relegated, because they're the worst team in the league.

@Baruch Spinoza yeah true, but that's kind of a good thing. Since most leagues don't share revenue in Europe and there is no salary cap, it usually comes down to whoever has more money to spend. So, a team like the Lakers would be fine cause the rest of team without LeBron would be way better than a "bad team", and that sucks.

@@sheena9904on god it took me 1 hour to start up fifa on the pc for the first time in 6 months today. Purely because of origin’s bs issues and then when I got it to work it kept throwing me with a prompt that said “all that trouble you just went through? Well fuck you. Origin isn’t supported anymore. Instead of letting you know at the start we waited for you to waste an hour of your life. Go and download the ea app that does exactly the same thing with the same layout you cunt”

The problem of American sports is that the franchises are helped by fixing, and the clubs that are last don't care about that... That's why the refereeing is getting worse and the Lakers have three times more free throws than the other team in the game. Those who bring in the most money are helped. What would this bring? Less rigging, because the teams would fight dangerously not to be relegated even more than someone fighting for the champion! More fan passion, the club experiences real ups and downs, the regular season would not be fun and promoting consumption and food! Sports stories about ups and downs! More respect for small clubs, which turn to creating players and making money from them. P.S. Americans have forgotten the true essence of sports many times lately, and I don't believe that as long as there is capitalism, they will ever live true sport again (I'm not referring to amateur sports in the US)! I don't understand why they didn't do that in their soccer, they would have developed soccer faster! This way, they have one big flaw, too little production of quality players

@@Busola29European clubs are owned by ultra rich oil tycoons lol. They spend billions to sign good players while small clubs are left to rot. And there isn’t any draft where small clubs get the best new talent.

@@i-man872 You do not understand football (soccer) and many other sports in other parts of the world except America and Canada, and you comment... Small clubs do not acquire players in the draft but by producing players (pioneers, cadets, juniors...) and they are protected by the UNION clauses if they leave as a junior. Then, regardless, those clubs get compensation in money if those players are developed and sold. If the generation and president match, even a club from a small town or village can succeed and play with big clubs. This is impossible in the USA in professional sports, except for eg. college basketball. You are condemned to watch only the "big ones" ... Small towns and villages have to play in much lower, uninteresting leagues. Those clubs will never play a competitive game against, for example, Lakers, Bulls, Suns, Warriors, Sixers... So the dream of success DOESN'T EXIST! Who wins the titles, the one who has more money and a bigger franchise (sponsors, following, famous star...) There are rare, very rare moments of surprise...

It sadly would be impossible with how the NBA and NFL work

@@Busola29 and you forget about the FIFA Solidarity Rule, in which at least 5% of a future trade is guaranteed for the club that revealed the player. Example for everyone else: let's say the Cavs built LeBron through their academy system instead of drafting him. And they sell him to Miami for, I don't know, 50 million dollars. If he goes to the Lakers 5 years later for 200 million, Cleveland gets 5% of that money (10 million). Many clubs are academy machines, with a lot of good players coming out. This is a way for them to keep the system, otherwise the logic would have been broken a long time ago

The A-League is only just creating a second division in Australia now so don't hold your breath for the MLS to do it any time soon

Currently it wouldn’t work. The current lower league clubs in the US are too small, they would go bankrupt if they got relegated. The league and sports needs to keep growing before that

Doesn't work with how the leagues infrastructure is set up currently. And it allows way more parity amongst teams.

I disagree, a team like Utah would never accomplish nothing. The same couple teams win the premier league every season with little to no hope of smaller teams achieving that same feat. They’re just satisfied with not being relegated. Not only that, but the playoffs is the only tournament the pro sport has right now outside of Olympics.

I mean, even within basketball, the NBA's format is almost non-existent outside of the US. Most nations do have a promotion and relegation system in their basketball leagues. For example, Spain: - Top division has 18 teams, they play each other twice. Top 8 goes to a playoff for the league title, bottom 2 gets relegated. - Second division has 18 teams, they play each other twice. The team at the top gets promoted, and second to ninth go to a playoff for the second promotion slot. Bottom 3 get relegated.

The FA cup(oldest soccer cup in the world, talking like 150+ years), has anually over 700 teams competing for it to give some context.

@@Londronable and it's far from being the cup with most teams. The French Cup has over 8 thousand teams, from every corner of continental France and territories abroad (those small islands and French Guyana). If the draw allows, PSG can play in the island of Reunion. But from the round of 16 on every game is in Europe

In Germany, there is no Byes in the Cup (the DFB Pokal). But there are less teams playing. For everyone not familiar with, the german system have three national divisions (Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and 3 Liga). Every division below is regional. Consider this as a mere example of how things work: in California you have the Lakers, the Clippers, Kings and Warriors playing in the top three divisions. But a team that is not in the top three divisions plays a local league in California. And there is a regional Cup between, let's say, teams in the lower divisions from California, Oregon and Washington. This cup is for the teams in the lower league (below 4th division) and the third division teams not qualified for the Cup. The main reward, in sports terms, for the winner of the California Cup is a spot in the National Cup the following season. So, you have 40 guaranteed teams in the Cup, namely: the whole first division, the whole second division and the top 4 of the third division. The other 24 comes from the local leagues or local cups, generally only the champion. And the rule is: the team from the smaller division plays at home. On the first two rounds there is a pot in the draw for the Bundesliga/Bundesliga 2 and the other for 3 liga and below. From the third round on, just one pot with everyone in it. A local league team against a Bayern, Borussia Dortmund has a disadvantage in money, conditions, competition level... so they play at home to ease this. Sometimes we have the giants getting killed. Saarbrücken in 2020 went all the way to the semifinals while being in the 4th division

Now you know why football and european basketball fans are a lot more passionate

Everyone can be passionate for they're teams

we are literally locked for atleast the play in

Also imagine a championship league

Made me really happy though

true. There are some brands from other sports as well, like the Flying Squrrels (AA baseball)

The nba would be so dope like this even baseball

*Explain Germany then.*

Yeah promotion and relegation are cool. But I wish (or dream of) football/soccer to also adapt draft system and salary cap of american sports.

@@TeguhNugrahaPratama I'm not a fan of the draft system because the age of turning pro for football is lower. If a draft is done in the way they do it, the whole draft would be of kids straight from high school, not even finished even But I totally agree with a salary cap, in the mode of the NFL

this overall concept of the english playoff is amazing. I really love it since I found out. But I wish that there were no playoffs in the National League this season, it would be really sad if Notts were not promoted with Wrexham. The two best clubs by a mile this season. But the rush is really crazy, the atmosphere is always good, and there is one ethernal moment that is from the EFL Playoffs that every fan knows: FORESTIERI... HERE'S HOGG... DEENEY DO NOT SCRATCH YOUR EYES. YOU'RE REALLY SEEING THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT HERE. The only way the US fans can come close to feel this is with many bad years due to terrible ownership

there were 20 hours of recording for this one, 10+ hours of non-recorded work in between seasons, then the time it took to edit the video on top of that
