Who doesn't enjoying watching a game of soccer, I mean football, with family and friends? Well, you are not alone. Football is the dominant international sport, inspiring youth around the world to set their sights on playing for both country and world-renowned clubs. Europe is the epicenter of top-class football, boasting some of the best leagues in England, Spain and Italy. We discuss the current state of European football, the relegation system and the failed attempt at the European Super League designed to showcase the biggest clubs at the highest level of competition, with the intention of replacing UEFA Champions League. Additionally, comparisons are made between professionals sporting leagues in North America and Europe with the goal of establishing what systems (e.g. relegation, salary cap) may improve the games we love moving forward. It's time to throw on that Pelé jersey, raise that football scarf and chant your bandwagon club's favourite mantra until the early hours of the morning. Gear up, we've got you covered!
