    Do you have any history youtube recs? I gave up on it a long time ago lol.

    Sometimes I consider putting my history degree to use and start a youtube channel but ehhhh I don't have the time/don't want to deal with certain aspects of the youtube community








  • Jump in the deep end and start playing Football Manager. Jk don't do that (yet) unless you want to lose hours of your life lol.

    Football Made Simple is a good channel. As others mentioned Tifo Football is a good channel as is their Tifo IRL channel.

    Some books I'd recommend:

    Football in Sun and Shadow - for an interesting look into the history of the sport

    Inverting the Pyramid - History of Tactics

    The Mixer - History of the Premier League

    Also MLS is way different from how the rest of the world does the sport, with most other nations following the Promotion/Relegation model vs the standard American sport "Regular Season -> Playoff" model. But some nations have varying formats as well, like I know Mexico has two seasons (Apertura and Clausura). There's also different cup competitions for clubs ranging from Domestic to Continental. In the US we have the US Open Cup, and depending where you live your local club could end up playing an MLS club. We also have the CONCACAF Champions League. CONCACAF is the governing body of North American and Caribbean nations (and then also Suriname, French Guiana, and Guyana for some reason) and in that competitions teams qualify through their league and play in it.
