  Hey guys, let me address this here. In many of my livestream watch-alongs, viewers have commented that Tottenham have never won any trophies. While viewers have been immensely helpful in my journey, I should have done my own homework on this matter. However, knowing this new information further solidifies in my mind that the Spurs are like the Cowboys in the EPL. (Although United are probably a better equivalent)

  1 minute into the video and I just wanna point something out. The fact that football is a low-scoring game makes it so much more special and enjoying when your team scores. It feels earned. Especially a last minute winner.

  One HUGE difference that is almost never mentioned is the fact that most football clubs, even some of the most successful and historic ones are not own by a single individual or a small group of rich guys and did not began as a business. Most started as the sports club of their communities or their cities a century ago co-owned by hundreds of neighbors who are also members and to this day can go and use the club's swimming pool. That's why they have strong ties to their cities and never ever move away.

  Given that your knowledge of the sport is limited and Cory’s is non existent, I think you explained it very well. There was no major flaws in your explanation. Just little things that you’ll learn the longer you follow the sport. Like there is a mini play offs for the final promotion spot, but when you’ve been following the sport for what, 4 months, I wouldn’t expect you to know that.

  I think that supporting a team is not something you choose but something you feel, so don't think much about it because one day you'll realise which is your team

  One of the things that soccer/football fans from abroad find mind boggling about American sports: that a team in the USA can move from one city to another... 🤯. That's just unthinkable in club soccer.

  During half time there is not 15 minutes of ads. Here in Belgium there is usually 1-2 minutes of ads. The rest of the time will be analysis by commentators and ex players.

  The loaning system is pretty much a way for top teams with good young players who would otherwise have few oportunities to play on their teams, to send their players to minor teams where they can play frequently and get experience and improve themselves. There are some conditions that can be negociated, but it is common that the team who gets the player pays for his salary and they have to field them a mininum number of games in the duration of the loan. So usually these young great players who would not play much on their teams, become the main players of smaller teams, but they can come back to their big team when the loan contract is over and be used there when they need him or he proves himself

  Love how passionate you are explaining this. I've never had that experience with football because there's no one in the UK who doesn't know what football is. Everyone has already decided whether they like it or not. But I have definitely had moments like that about other things, where you just hope you have the words to explain how much this new thing you've discovered now means to you.

  There was a swedish team called Cafe Opera. It started as a team for the employees on a Cafe in Stockholm called Cafe Opera, they started back in the absolutes lowest tier but they worked up until the 2nd tier, just below top pro league, stayed there a couple of seasons and went down again. Can you imagine a Cafe team do that.

  I recommend looking up the 'soccer' player, Rui Costa. He agreed to be sold by the club of his dreams, Benfica, as they were broke, and needed his transfer money to stay afloat. He then had to play against Benfica and ended up scoring against them and refused to celebrate and instead broke down in tears.
