Saying nothing about the quality of the sports, aren't are all these structured to be a bit boring?

In soccer football a team can hope to compete in their national league, for at least one domestic cup, and often a continental trophy all in a single season, and they can vie for promotion to compete in a better national league than their current one.
You can also get otherwise normal matches that end up being an event anyway just because, like semi pro Sutton Utd playing Arsenal and beating peak Coventry
Is it because of Football's much bigger popularity?

I don't think I've made any glaring mistakes in those descriptions or missed any trophies but I may well have

Some of you cunts better reply
I spent at least 5 minutes double checking about your shitty leagues

I mean I think the other meme trophies are nice but we all know it's about the champions league, right?

and we have rivalries which are huge, like when the browns beat the steelers it's basically a superbowl to them. also our sports tend to be high scoring so that kind of eliminates the luck factor than needs tl be in place for shit like Mynansbackgardensburough to beat Chelsea. seeing an AHL team play an NHL team would be a joke, every game would end like 10-1.

I think you underestimate how much people care about some of the domestic trophies since only a minority of fans will see their team compete at top level Champs League

Speaking of peak Coventry my Dad was in Coventry the night they won their only FA cup and he said the whole city went crazy, with streets blocked and people partying through the night, pretty big deal for a competition that even shitty teams can do well in
>>
Nobody cares about those micky mouse trophies. I would be embarrassed if my team ever won those shitty cups. Also you already know who the top 4 will be in every league before a single game has been played
>>

Why limiting it to divegrass? Basketball, handball, volleyball all have the same set-up. Even rugby has it, despite it being played seriously only in 3 countries in Europe (5 if you consider Wales and Scotland as countries). I think even ice hockey is trying to create some European league/cup too.

There are just too many footy teams.
There's hundreds upon hundreds of teams on any country with footy as its main sport. Of course there's lots of different divisions and competitions. There's no shortage of teams to compete.
>>
>>77337137
I don't know much about those sports, bar rugby which I just forgot, and I got bored of trying to find out about them
>>
>>77336777

>gaelic football

how is this different than rugby?
>>
>>77337083
The NFL acts like 32 Real Madrids
There isn't really a need for other trophies

Hurling is the better sport either way
>>
>>77337341
What are the leagues like for Hurling?
>>
I second you, OP, but maybe that wouldn't work in America.
Considering that the Superb Owl is like the Champions League, if there was another championship, they would most likely dispute with the very same teams that they disputed in the SB.
Unless they created some small meme teams, it would be even more boring seeing them competing literally the same thing again.
>>
>>77336777
the most retarded part of this post is ignoring college football. That's where the fun is and only fags give a shit about the NFL
>>
>>77336777
Fuck off cunt AFL is the best sport
>>
if the NFL ever had a cup that was europa league quality, you would be roasted for ever bragging about it
>>
>>77336777
Here in Brazil you even have the state championships. Libertadores and Brasileirão are the only relevant titles, but at least you have some consolation trophies and nice knockout stages.

could you imagine a playoff for the 7-12 seeds? lol
