>futbol clubs still have to play 2 more games after the champion has been decided

Holy fuck you guys are literal cucks

As an actual Leicester fan that has seen relegation three times. Yes.

yes

The Oakland A's and a couple other teams in baseball are in a similar position (but now as extreme) and have succeeded. Moneyball and all that

If that happened in the US the team would be relocated to a larger city to boost its popularity.

No, when it happens in the US attendance increases so there's no point in moving the team until they start to be shit again and there's less attendance

First post best post

yup

>b-but muh playoffs

>Europeans will never know the feeling of having their alma mater win a national championship because they never went to school

lmao who in the relevant world actually likes soccer

>yuropoors will never know the feeling of having your team pick up and relocate to another city

>what is OP's picture

No one. Relevant begins and ends here.

its totally false
there is much more parity in the USA,so its harder for a team to suck for so long.
but some do,and they are fewer,so the feeling of being shit is worse.
If the Browns won the Owl it would be at least as amazing than Leicester winning the league

yes, this is totally true. the only thing that comes close is being a Mets fan.

>there is much more parity in the USA
13 of the 32 teams in the NFL have never won a Superb Owl.

>he says this
>in a thread with a picture of Wimbledon supporters in the OP
>americans

>implying cubs fans won't feel that this season

Suck my nuts

The Browns winning the Owl would be so much less amazing. There's a good chance it will happen in our lifetime, and the Browns have at least one NFL Championships before and been to the AFC title game. Their odds to win next season are like 100-1, rather than 2,000-1.

Players get regulated, not teams. Why would you relegate your entire team just because the 12th man is a right cunt?

there were 50 superbowls and a lot of the teams dont have 30 years.
since 92,6 teams have won the Premier League,most of which just because they were owned by a richer guy and bought top players.
the 2 finalists this year were the worst and second worst teams in the league 5 years ago.

Leicester os owned by a billionaire that could buy a team with 1/5 chance of winning it every year
there is no reason to think thos team had less than a 1/100 chance to win it this year

...

The 2004 Red Sox winning the World Series after an 86 year drought is pretty comparable in terms of difficulty. Especially considering they were down 0 games to 3 against the fucking Yankees in the ALCS.

>Bottom of the 9th.
>Scoring on Mariano Rivera.
god damn this will always give me a boner.

>yuros will never know the joy of the Patriots going 18-1

but how do the 90% of Euros who bandwagon one of the top teams who have never been relegated in the country know the joy of the feat?

Only americans care about this.
>7-1 Is world wide

Literally what?

You haven't been on Sup Forums a minute have you?

No. Your team being relegated is the equivalent of our teams being moved. See St. Louis Rams for example.

And you will never know the joy of winning a championship how it should be won, not by having the best record, but by winning a championship game.

>futbol

if Cleveland ever wins a title, it'll be this

/thread

I saw my team getting relegated 4 times but they never won a tittle, so I only know 1/2 of this feel

they will never know the joy because their sports have parity and any team can come around and win

baseball is based because it's more open. lesters feat is great because they had to build their own way instead of just being matched resource wise with the other teams in the league

Actually your "franchises" being moved are the equivalent of our teams being moved. See Wimbledon F.C. for example. You don't have an equivalent for relegation.

18-1 created this board you shit

To be fair one of those major sports moments would have started Sup Forums eventually. Imagine the site without a dedicated sports board during >TORRES or >7-1

No other previous world cup did it. Americans still mostly use this site

Probably true, but think of the tons of other fans of smaller clubs that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever witnessing a championship in their lifetime

it's give and take

No previous football events were quite like those two. I suppose back then the sport on Sup Forums was still quite American focused unlike now when football dominates, hence the 7-1 meltdown being so prominent.

The FA cup and champions league exists.

>0-0ball
Ya good for your team finally acquiring enough PEDs to win their league finally. Holy shit should this even be celebrated? It's really a wake up call to how shit the sport is.

Don't expect you to read this argument but here it is. In what fucking world would anyone with an IQ over 50 think that it's more likely that big foot exists than a team with professional athletes starting the beginning of the season with the same 0-0-0 record as everyone else and starting every game with the same 0-0 score as the other team would win the title? It's almost like they think that only 1 of 5 teams have a legitimate chance, and the rest are impossible. Hmmm. Your sport is full of corrupt shit and this is only a story because a moron put them at 5000-1 odds

No one gives a shit about the FA cup

This. I think the relation of success to spending is overstated. No offense, but it's been that because so many people insist on calling the sport "the beautiful game." It's not special. It has a clear objective like anything else, and there are no points for style. My theory is a lot of top managers know a lot less about what they're doing than they think they do. Take that second leg Bayern juventus match for instance. It took an entire half for guardiola to realize Costa could get a free cross into the box on every possession they had, and guys just got cleanup goals. His stupid insistence on buildup plays in the first half was goddamn regarded.

Simeone is shitting on the "beautiful game" as well. Leicester just picked up a good manager who's good at scouting talent and caught Chelsea at JUST, pellegrini knew he was leaving soon, manu is in flux, and arsenal is guaranteed 4th every season.

It's impressive what they did, but it's not all that wild. It's not like the bundesliga where Bayern just buys out literally everything.

If the Cleveland Browns get good management, then a super bowl is by no means out of the question.

>No one gives a shit about the FA cup
Which speaks volumes about the merit of the format.

But everyone cares a lot about the champions league, so what are you getting at? Do you think these things out before you post?

murrica doesn't even play sport. they serve franchises. we all know they are eternal idiots and are just being humoured until they implode.

>soccerfags will never know the joy of a feat like appalachian state coming into the big house and beating championship-hopeful michigan in front of 110,000 people

I feel bad for ya'll desu

NEVER EVER

OLIMPIJA :3

The champions league is that way by necessity, my point is the comment that "you will never know the joy of winning a championship" was retarded for various reasons.

this legit killed their program

a prestigious, blue blood NCAA program just fucked in one season

>"The beautiful game" only applies to style of play

No

M8 there are so many Americans on here who are /lifelongs/, fuck off!

>And you will know the joy of winning a championship how it should be won
>Not by proving yourself to be the best team by accumulating the most points after playing every team twice over a 38 game season
>But by winning the final of a knockout competition
Lmao, fucking Americans
And there is no American equivalent of relegation.

>90% of Englishmen will never know the joy of their team win a title because the same four teams will continue to have a monopoly on it forever with random teams occasionally eking one out once every twelve years

>And you will never know the joy of winning a championship how it should be won, not by having the best record, but by winning a championship game.

Champions league you stupid fat retarded fucking cunt.

>And there is no American equivalent of relegation
The American equivalent is getting your ass kicked year after year, without even the chance to drop down and face easier competition.

>ywn watch negro school children in spandex run into each other repeatedly for 3hrs

Shoot me now plz

PURE IDEOLOGY

>100% of americans will never know what its like to truly support a club because their sides are not clubs but franchises that manufacture sportstainment product

>comparing a knockout competition to a league
wanna know how I know you're retarded?

holy fuck does anything get through that thick skull of yours?

>And you will never know the joy of winning a championship how it should be won, not by having the best record, but by winning a championship game.

Why do so many Muricans not do this one basic bit of research?

One game upsets happen all the time

Probably a big stretch to compare the 2 but the day Fremantle FC in the AFL win a premiership I will cry. Years and years of utter shit but I've been with them for it all. They are MY shitters.

You still get a better draft pick if you play shit.

>mfw I'm old enough to remember wimbledon playing in the premiere league

Don't they have a record for lowest attendance in a PL game ever?

>crying over sports

the amount of beta in other country's men is flabbergasting

Yeah, about 3000 and half of those were the away fans

That's because relegation is the most retarded idea in sports history

>a team is bad
>punish it by giving it less money and further increasing the chances of them literally never being good

How does a PL team fuck up that badly

CL format > Playoff format > the terrible dullness if the football leagues format

i've actually seen them play, still got the ticket and the match program

is that van gaal in the shades?
and suarez in the back?
and jackie chan?

Just stop posting you retard, Leicester literally won the league this year.

top b8

I can't tell if you're dumb of if you're baiting

and it is global news, I am well aware of this

Now tell me, how many times has this happened?

youtube.com/watch?v=K2ySWeQL6Jw

?

Does it matter you imbecile? You clearly know jack shit about the sport, relegation and its purpose. Stick to your shit franchises and eat a burger.

>Literally having socialism and a monopoly on your leagues

meant for

>tfw went to Selhurst Park to see Klinsmann smash four past Wimbledon.

Good times.

I'm judging from your answer that the answer is this one time, or you don't know because it has literally never happened in anyone's memory

So you were saying?

Let's see

>a team is bad
>lets make it play teams of same caliber

vs

>a team is bad
>let's make every other team worse by giving them access to better players

>what is nottingham forrest
And my comment was relating to your retarded claim regarding promotion.

Imbecile

you skipped the part where the bad teams play the "same caliber" teams for decades at a time because they can't dig themselves out of the financial hole they are thrown into

Some sink and some swim.
It's the nature of the game. More often than not, following a team is a long, arduous march. My side has been relegated twice in ten years and lost four promotion play-offs.

It's fucking brutal but I wouldn't have it any other way.

>It is what it is

That is the dumbest response to justify that terrible system I have ever seen

I don't have to justify anything though.

You do if you want to claim it's a good system

Which team?

>being this fucking new
lurk more faggot

Its you who's claiming it's not good. He needs to justify jack shit as its a long established system that not only works, but has worked for decades in every country in the world. Oh, bar the US and some literal who's perhaps.

But yeah, having a bunch of corporate suits decide who should play in a league based on revenue projections is such a better system, amirite.

>they're thrown in
They throw themselves in you imbecile. If Aston Vila can't compete in the EPL despite the money and despite the disadvantaged the 3 newly promoted teams have (and they only need to finish above them to avoid relegation) they not only deserve to be in a financial hole they also deserve to fuck off for a decade in it.

Unlike in your head, where inefficiency, bad management and poor decision making should mean the club needs to be rewarded with freebies, draft picks or whatever the fuck you do in your shit tier franchise leagues while the actually successful clubs that got somewhere with effort and good management should be locked out of the top flight unless some fuck in a suit thinks it would make him money in which case they'll make an "expansion".
