The 2006-2007 English top league football season has come to an end and Manchester United is the league winner. There are no playoffs and no superbowl... the regular season winner is the league champion. The three bottom teams are removed from the top league and replaced by the top three teams from the lower league. Every year this provides a bit of drama. This year the last team was relegated based on the results of their final game of the season.
English top league teams also qualify for European Competitions based on their finishing place in the English league. The top 4 teams this year compete in next year's UEFA Champions league with the other European top league winners. Teams finishing in 5th, 6th and 7th place qualify for the less prestigious UEFA Cup.
English football teams are becoming very international. Nowadays, as many as half of the players on a top English team may be foreign born.
Stay tuned... I'm going to try and figure out Cricket next!!
