[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 992275, member: 944"] btw, are you aware that throughout Europe, they have a tournmant which allows EVERY SINGLE TEAM to participate in at all levels of professional soccer. They are the national cup trophy tournaments and are considered one of the big trophies to win each year. Normally, the big boys carry the day, but every once in while, a David knocks off a Goliath and all of the country gets behind the underdog. As in NCAA basketball, the underdog never actually wins the whole thing, but the excitement they bring to the tournament is deemed a worthy trade-off for everyone involved. To be fair, the lower division teams go through some knock out games first, but they don't knock it down to one team only getting in. Here's a quote form a London paper about their version, the FA Cup...

That's what you eliminate... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/fa-cup-greatest-giant-killings-25876576[/URL] [/QUOTE]
