    I read an article about Barcelona's coach who is stepping down, and the article mentioned he won 13 trophies in 4 years. How's that possible?

    I feel like infrastructure is probably the incorrect term, but I will return with a 1,000 word essay explaining the reciprocity of European soccer in relation to American sport in America.

    Each country has their own league- The big leagues are England, Spain, Germany, and Italy. They play 38 games(Germany plays 34) and whoever accumulates most points wins the league. 3 for win, 1 for draw, 0 for loss.

    Each country has their own cup(some have 2)

    The teams that finish high in each league play in the champions league.The big leagues get 3 of 4 entries and the smaller leagues 1 or 2.

    There are plenty of other cups at the beginning of the year between winners of the leagues and tournaments. Most were easy Barca wins

    Spain is a filthy country that bankrupt every other team to give 2 of them all the money and Barca were much better than Real Madrid and the best team in the world the last 4 years.

    Order of importance for trophies is champions league>>>>>>winning your league>>>>>>>>league cups>>>>>>>>bullshit beginning of season cups.

    Barca won 2 champions league(although they cheat) and 3 league titles the last 4 years and had a ridiculous run under Pep.
