In response to "no less sense than claiming if you don't win the World Series or Super Bowl, the season was a failure. -- nm" by znufrii

well, in theory, it is true. You play, to win, the championship.

that is the driving force behind all sports.

Sure you can have a good season and not win, but no one will remember your good season, only who won the championship.

- in order to win, the teams with best records get in, right? - groiny Jul 1, 14:22 6
  - in soccer it's 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:26 3
    - and yes, highest score at the end of the season gets the trophy -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 14:27 2
      - which is poopies. You want the team that wins the most games to get in, not the one who plays to tie. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 1, 14:28 1
        
        You play 38 matches in the EPL....you need roughly 30-35 points to guarantee you get to stay in the EPL. The champs are usually around 80 iirc - Hunta Jul 1, 14:32
