I've decided to take on the impossible task of getting more Americans into soccer. I'm gonna start by giving you American sports counterparts for the biggest leagues and teams in the sport. These are the five most important leagues. All the biggest clubs and best players are in these leagues. In terms of relevance, revenue, and viewership, think of the Premier League in England like the NFL, La Liga in Spain like the NBA, Bundesliga in Germany like the MLB, and Serie A in Italy like the NHL. I don't really have a comp for Ligue one because there's only one important team and only French people watch it. Yuck. Domestic leagues don't have playoffs. You win the league by finishing the regular season in first place or finishing top of the table. Domestic leagues in soccer also use relegation. The teams that finish lowest get demoted to the league below, and the best teams in the league below get promoted to the league above. That's like if the Wizards got sent to the g league and the Greensboro Swarm got sent to the NBA. Soccer's version of the playoffs is called champions league worse the best teams from these leagues and all the others across Europe come together in one big tournament. The better your league is, the more teams you send. Similar to, like, conferences in college football, winning Champions League is the most important thing you can do in soccer outside of the World Cup. Alright. I'm gonna do rapid fire American tier comps. Starting with the Premier League, Manchester United is the Dallas Cowboys. Manchester City is the Los Angeles Rams. Arsenal is the Knicks. Chelsea is a weird mix of the Dodgers and the New York Giants. If you like Philly sports, you would love Liverpool. And lastly in the Prem, Newcastle United is the Buffalo Bills. Moving to La Liga, Barcelona is the Lakers. When you think Real Madrid, think evil. Patriots, Yankees, Celtics. Atletico Madrid is the Pistons or the Seahawks. In Bundesliga, you have two major tier. Bayern Munich, who is the San Antonio Spurs, and Borussia Dortmund, who is the Packers or the Clippers. In Serie A, Juventus is the Steelers or the Heat. AC Milan is ironically all Chicago sports, and Inter Milan is ironically all San Francisco sports. In Ligue one, really only one team that matters, PSG, and they are the Oklahoma City Thunder.
