Kind of an odd question, asking if they are "really" the champions - you have it the wrong way round, where the best team in the US over a season can end up not winning, whereas being top of the league is generally a much better indicator of who the best team that season was

World Cup is NATIONAL teams.
This video is about CLUB football.

You do realise how small the Superbowl is compared to the Champions league Globally.

The Champions League audience worldwide is viewed in the billions.

The superbowl is so small that even Lower tier European Football gets more views Globally.

[MarkmanOTW]

Just to clarify, club teams are comprised of players of different nationalities from around the World, so you can get English players in English, Spanish, German teams and vice versa. Players only join their national teams (representing their country) in the international games e.g. UEFA European Championship, and FIFA World Cup.

Superbowl: 128 million viewers. Soccer world cup: 3750 million viewers.

There is usually always a few "giant killings" a season where a lower league team knocks out a premier league team in the cup

[almostyummymummy]

Are you the *real* Champion!?

Such an American thought process.

Of course, they are. How could they not be?

Thinking of how profitable the US sports teams are... that's what the rest of the world loathe, detest and despise about US sports. Not the sports themselves, but the fact they're all about profit for the owners. Improving value to the shareholders.

Sport should be for and about the fans. Always.

Sport should not be a product, a commodity.

There have been situations where in a "cup game" (The FA Cup) you will get teams matched up where the highest earning player on one team will earn more than the WHOLE other team of players combined.

Crazy to think about but it's good seeing the underdog teams win

There are a lot more than 4 divisions. in England there are about 20 tiers and about 6000 football clubs. Only the top 4 are fully professional though. If you've heard of "Welcome to Wrexham" the club that Rob and Ryan bought was in the 5th tier, and has since been promoted twice to the 3rd tier.

World cup: Is competition between countries (every 4 years)
Champions League: is for Club teams (every year) (BTW The favourite was kicked out last night), The final is in London, Jun 1st

[rebelkiller]

A team relegated from the top leagues will often sell their best players to top league clubs to help with the financial gap between leagues. Also in England, a team relegated from the Premier League will continue to receive a percentage of the Premier League TV money for three seasons (the amount decreases every season) after relegation, so as to soften the financial blow that it brings.

[albertwarren]

Relegation is brutal. My home team Portsmouth currently in league 1 (the third division) of English football was in the premier league (the first division) in 2010 when they got relegated. Within four years they fell to league 2 (the fourth division). Only just this week they guaranteed promotion to the championship (the second division). We’re going up but it’s taken 11 years since we first dropped to league 2 (the fourth division) and 15 years since we were in the premier league (the first division).

[Rob_Infinity]

Playoffs do exist in the English leagues, at least.
In England there is the Premier League, Championship, League 1 & League 2. So for example, in the Championship, the top 2 teams at the end of the season gain promotion to the Premier League. Then the teams that finish in 3rd to 6th place, face off to decide who is the 3rd and final team to be promoted to the Premier League. So again for example, the 3rd place team will play a two game semi-final against 5th place team. As will the 4th and 6th place teams. Then the winners play a final game to decide who gets promoted to the Premier League with the teams that finished in 1st and 2nd place.

The Cup: This year in Germany 3 of the four Teams in the semi finals were from the second division. As we say over here: The cup has it´s own rules

[lilbullet]

In 2016 ; My home team, Leicester, were not given a cat in hells chance of winning the League. The odds of them winning was a Massive *"5.000/1"* ... 🏆 *"But They WON"* 🏆

[Isleofskye]

This weekend, Coventry City from the Second Tier called " The Championship" are in The F A Cup Semi-Final and teams have won the Cup from being in lower divisions.
RELEGATION? Luton Town went from The TOP League to the 2nd then 3rd then 4th then OUT of the main League into the 5th Tier(The National League) and this season have become the first ever Club to come all the way back again and are in The English Premier League:)

[davidryan]

Glad you liked the idea of relegation....the relegation battle is often more entertaining (and stressful) than the title race!

[danielwinchenbach]

This year there were 2 Second Tier teams and one 1 third tier team in the semifinals of the German cup

[hanasmith]

There is a documentary series called Welcome to Wrexham about Rob McElhenney & Ryan Reynolds buying a non-league team and trying to get them to climb up the leagues, you could check it out.

When he was explaining the Champions League I actually got goosebumps! The CL music too... goosebumps. It's the perfect music for it. All those magical nights at Old Trafford, beating Roma 7-1, Panathinaikos 5-0 etc etc.
