Soccer....
is it seasonal?
What the heck do all these mean? Soccer: UK IT DE SP US UEFA EU Champ Are there more? |
I love watching a little footy. Can't wait til the World Cup!
UK - United Kingdom IT - Italy DE -Germany SP - Spain US - United States UEFA - Union of European Football Association EU Champ - European Champion Too bad it's just the European matches on tv. Would like to see some of the other World Leagues |

IT -- Italy (refers to the Italian Serie A league) DE -- Denmark (refers to the Danish Football Association) SP -- Spain (refers to La Liga) US -- USA (refers to Major League Soccer) UEFA -- Union of European Football Associations (ruling body of soccer in Europe) EU Champ -- European champion (international tourny) many more for example Bundesliga in Germany, the French Ligue 1 in France, there are elite leagues in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Scotland, Portugal, and the rest of the world over. You can add to that international leagues (e.g., CONCACAF) and the number grows even further. There's a reason it's the most popular and most played sport on the planet. there are seasons of course, but given the diverse climates and locations it's played in it's always soccer season somewhere. |
Thanks to both...
leaves me with a couple of more questions though.... These are all professional leagues and tourney's, right? Is the world cup a different pool of athletes? |

Didn't know about the Danish league. Learned something new!
Sorry, didn't realize you wanted to know about the leagues. Thought you were just quizing us :) |

For Scandanavian countries, Sweden has the best soccer league though (ditto in hockey). |
you two may be right about the DE. I just assumed that he took the labels from an US site and since spain was abbreviated SP and not ES or ESP I figured Germany would have been GE.
either way, both the DFA and Bundesliga are worth watching if you want some world class soccer. |
