ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

European Football

Okay kiddo, European football is like a game that lots of people in Europe really like. It’s kind of like the football you know, but they call it soccer over there.

There are lots of different teams from different countries that play each other, and they all want to be the best. They play in big stadiums and there are lots of fans who come to cheer them on.

Each team has 11 players, and they try to score goals by kicking the ball into the other team’s net. The team with the most goals at the end of the game wins.

There are lots of different competitions that these teams play in, like the Champions League and the Europa League. They play against each other many times, and the team with the most wins gets to be the champion.

And if you really, really love European football, you can even collect cards with pictures of all the different players and teams, just like Pokémon cards!
