I think he John doesn't realize how much Dave doesn't know
He likes English football so much he doesn't even know how many are in the Premier League. It's 20 teams. And the Conference isn't called that anymore, not for ages. It's called the National League and they aren't amature, they are made up of professional amd semi professional teams.
i learned all of that about football (soccer) from the great TED LASSO.
I can only imagine how much patience John had to gather before being okay with calling it soccer for 10 minutes
Well, maybe not accurate, it’s fun. It doesn’t harm anyone. Just a nice confusing curious conversation.
It's FOOTBALL YOU PRAT.
I love John, but he knows f..k all about football – there are over 50 leagues in UK; in England there are 4 fully professional, and two below are approaching full professionalism, 87 English teams are fully pro Englis football has 10 tiers with teams at the bottom being fully amateur ones, although players often receive some form of compensation.
Also, every team is of consequence and many more than just 6 top ones can win something as there are many different competitions teams participate in. For example West Ham isn't top team, but won Europe Conference League last season
Might have been an interesting conversation if Oliver actually knew anything about the EFL. 19 teams in the Premier League??
There is no such thing as ‘English Soccer ‘. It was invented in England and it’s Called ‘Football’. John is quite clueless as to how the premier league works. They should have just rang up any Pub in the UK and asked.
Any premier league fan knows it’s 20 teams, three get relegated. And there’s been a situation where an underdog wins the title although unusual
That was frustrating. I like John Oliver but his claim to be a massive football fan is exposed by his inaccurate confusing answers. Of course there have been teams that rise through the leagues to the Prem! Luton, Brighton & Bournemouth are just three in recent times. And NINETEEN teams in the Prem? Even my grannie knows there's 20, and she's dead.
Briliant, we are all high on hopium.
What a dumb way of explain soccer league!!
Every time I see Oliver mention the UK he always shoehorns in hacky jokes about the monarchy and the class system. What competitive sport, in any country, isn't like a class system of winners and losers?
Posh kid explaining Football 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
Over half of the teams that make up professional Football over those 4 league have been in the Premier League for least for one season.
the USA has religion, us english have football. 😛
should've been called "Dave phoning it in".
Such a hack.
There are 20 teams in the premier league.
Manchester United do not have Yankee money. Some Yankees have Manchester United money.
for a soccer fan he explained it quite poorly
John did a terrible job explaining because he was trying to be funny while doing it.
The interview was probably before but Leicester city won the Premier league like 6 seasons ago but are now playing in the 2nd tier.
No guarantees that’s the point… beats the franchise system where you get rewarded for being bad, there’s no incentive for being bad in football, you don’t get the next Messi for being bad like in American sports
Those were the days, my friend…
They don't play soccer in England. They play football.
I am surprised John did not correct Letterman when he called football "soccer". It's called football in England and what Americans play is some sort of handball.
He's such a massive "soccer" fan that he does not know how many teams are in the premier league
As a former Sunday League player, I'm offended he didn't mention it.
I just came here to tell you that the sport is called football, as said by the entire world bar one arrogant country. The thing you call football is not even played with the feet. Oh, and no-one else finds it interesting.

world series of usa…
after this interview – but Luton Town FC, were promoted 4 times in 10yrs, to go from playing non-league (amateur soccer) to the English Premier League for the 2023-24 season. Cinderella soccer story.
John Oliver is so unfunny it's difficult to understand just what is that people find humorous about him .That's why he moved to the USA because they are more forgiving of failed British comedians .
manchester united did once fall down to the second division
