Dude you have no idea. It's not just in Europe that this format exists, in South America it's also like that, well, at least in my country it is, I'm Brazilian. Often the fight at the bottom of the table is more exciting than the fight at the top, teams literally give their lives to stay in the top division. This year, my country's second division is a lot of fun to watch, this Sunday will be the last round of the championship, and coincidentally, the two teams that are vying for the last spot to move up to the first division will face each other, I won't lose this game for nothing! And I'm not a fan of either of these two teams 😂

Football is brutal in regards to the relagation and you have to understand it goes on all the way down the divisions all the way from pros, semi pros to amateurs.. it's one of the things that make footbal great.. i mean you can play like shit in your NFL, NBA aso aso and NOT be punished, some even do it on purpose to get an advantage during the drafts.. which is btw something we don't have aswell in Football if you suck, you pay the price

Relegation is common sense in all the world. Thats why the matches are so interesting

[filippobrunone]

Also another important thing to say: Transfers. They are the equivalent of trades. There are 2 windows to make transfers: a summer window and a window mid-season (all the month of january) and only during these window transfers can happen. Also, transfers can get wild. All the clubs from the entire world can make business, and thanks to that you can see Japanese playing in Italy

[a.s]

relegation and european qualification adds so much because it means practically every team is fighting for something, throughout the whole season. every game is truly important

[gilligan]

I like how open-mindedly you're coming at this. I didn't hear you rip the sport once, and I'll hang out and sub for at least the rest of this series simply because of that.

One quick correction : 6:05 they don't usually take a break from the normal leagues for the world cup. Usually the world cup takes place between June and July when most, if not all of the league's are already on a break. This year is an exception because FIFA decided to let Qatar host (that's a whole different conversation) where it was decided conditions would be too hot for players to play through during the usual June and July months so it was moved to November/December where it would be cooler for players. As far as I'm aware this is the first this has happened. But yeah to sum up normally we don't break for the world cup, it usually happens during the summer break.

[gsming]

The world cup is/has always been played in the summer, between seasons, but this year it is being held in Quatar, which sucks, and is a corrupt decision. You can research it on your own. In Quatar it is too hot to hold the tournament in the summer, thats why it has to be in the fall/winther, and why all clubs have to take a break, which is very disruptive in terms of the fixture list. Also, players get injured in the world cup, which is bad for the club the player belongs to. Certain teams also have many more players competing in the world cup, which means that the fatigue will be a big problem for certain clubs (but at the same time, those clubs are richer, and have a deeper squad to compensate.

Playing the FIFA video game quickly schools you on this sport, especially for understanding how rosters and signing players works. I was never into football until a couple of years ago and now I follow regularly.

Relegation is one the features that makes it exciting. In Europe (and I guess in the rest of the world except North-America) this exists in all sports: basketball, volleyball, handball, you name it. If it were only about the first place for the championship, then soon ever more teams will have nothing to play for if the championship becomes out of reach. With the European cups (Beside the Champions League there are also the lower tiers Europa League and Conference League), there are 5 to 7 places in the top of the ranking that gives access to one of the leagues next season. Usually there are 10, 12 teams competing till the last match day for one of these - very much desired - spots. And at the bottom, there are usually 5 or 6 teams fighting to avoid relegation.
This means, that up untill the very last match day most teams have something to play for. In a league of 18 teams, there are usually just 1 or 2 teams that are done early: they can't reach an European league spot nor can they relegate.

The champions league matches are going on right now i mean right now if you wanna see Messi in action maybe tune into the Juventus vs PSG game on tv in about an hour's time

[tomastoxicity]

About relegations, in Spain we have a club, Deportivo La Coruña, that in 2004 was playing the Semi Finals of UEFA Champions league, so top 4 of clubs in all Europe and now they are playing in 3ºDivision that its consider a semi-profesional division. So relegations can be brutal indeed.

[TheBoxChart]

Relegation fight is awesome. Towards the end of the season, it's often more difficult to play vs a relegation fighting team than a champions league spot contender... they are so focused and determined and stadiums are one fire...
Relegation system is necessary in football due to the insane amount of professional teams in each country. It also gives a lot of variety to the system. Each year different teams. different stadiums and fan bases get to the division above.

[jakobramseyer]

You should react to A clueless American’s guide to Premier league/Champions league. They are an easy way to learn some of the basics and give you a good insight into some different teams

[statsy]

Relegation is such an important factor and honestly it wouldn’t be the same without it. In 2015 my city’s team Atalanta was one spot away from being relegated, and now it is getting consistently top 10 every year. Just imagine if it got relegated and got stuck for a while in 2nd division

[johannjohannson]

The cool thing on cup games - as an amateur player it could happen that you are playing aginst your heros in a real competition! And it happend every year, that a team of teachers, workers and bankers can kick out a pro team out of the cup...

[DINOAVFC]

As some other comments probably already mentioned, World Cups were ALWAYS played in the summer, during that May to August break. This year in Qatar is the exception because they're basically in the desert, air is dry and temperatures go as high as 45°C (113°F for you lot), so they had to move WC to winter to make conditions playable, which completely messes up the schedule of local leagues, meaning they'll now have to be forced to go on a one month break.

[RunE]

I love that format, that puts more pressure on the teams

[adriansmith]

To understand what is great about the promotion and relegation format, watch the Leicester city story! They (my team) were almost relegated 1 season, then went on to win the premier league title the next season. Incredible story.
