Football is the most played sport in Africa, it has always been huge
Africa produces some of the best football players ever yo eg Benny McCarthy(Manchester uniteds head attaching couch)from South Africa..sadio mane:no1 player for liverpool now bayern..didiar drogba if I don't know him u don't know soccer at all..Mohammad Salah.the list goes on and on..South Africa held the 1st worldcup in Africa not even Dubai was ready..
Not just Africa it is the best game in the world
Maybe what he meant was Africa in general is getting more attention from the world now than it used to before...even though football is the number one sport in most parts of the world, Europe and South America were the 2 places that were on the top for decades.
@@lincolnolivier2346 who can forget Roger Milla in the 1990 world cup for Cameroon, Bruce Grobbelaar Liverpool's goolkeeper win six league title medals, three FA Cup winner's medal, three Football League Cup winner's medals and a European Cup winner's medal and with LFC in mind, they miss Sadio Mané this season. George weah FIFA World player of the year 1996, Drogba, Abedi Ayew Pelé the only player to win African Player of the year three times in a row, Samuel Eto'o won three Champions Leagues with Barcelona and just because I'm a blue nose Obafemi Martins (I know he is not up there with the greats) but his goal at Wembley won Birmingham City their first ever trophy nearly 60 years....etc. The list is endless!
And Africa call it by its biblical name: FOOTBALL!
Only non fans of the game call it SOCCER.
In South America, we call it Football as well! I think only in the US it's Soccer! In South America, it's "futbol" in spanish speaking countries and "futebol" in Brazil, both translate to FOOTBALL in english.
No, US, Canada, parts of SA, Ireland, Australia, most ex british colonies. The brits named it as just short for "association" football.
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ yeah but not in india, pakistan bangeladesh etc. they call it football there
@@Abdullah-wi1iy yeah that's because it IS football.. you call it by it's short name.. we call it by it's abbriated slang...
The actual game is called "Association Football"
There are other forms of football as the game and rules split... Rugby Football, Gridiron Football (American), Aussie Rules Football. No one is claiming the sport isn't football... Soccer is just short slang for association.. the Brits made it. Most countries where their form of football is bigger.. whether it be Rugby or a derivative, are usually referred to as football as well.
Remember 85% of clubs in the USA from youth to pro are branded FC. Some are SC... No different than calling a Truck a "pick up".... It's still a "Pick up truck"
Here in the UK we have a weekly show called SOCCER Saturday
@@_Jake.From.Statefarm_ i think they call it soccer in countries where they have another sport call football, like america, gaelic football, australian football, etc. but the mas majority of countries call soccer football, depending on the language
We also call it football in South America
Hello and welcome wow we have people from south America in the comments.
Actually, in spanish is "Fútbol"
@@mateowag which means Football
@@sg9141 Yes but it is an anglicism
From german too
He said “whoever has the least penalty wins?” 😂😂😂😂that was hilarious
Because he thought penalty means punishment
i literally pause the video...
Football is huge in most of Asia as well.
Most of Asia? All of Asia. More South asians watch football regularly than there are people in Europe.
@@hasibalfuad9652 legit
@@hasibalfuad9652 The Indian Subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) are vastly more leaning to Cricket though
Football is huge in Africa and many parts of Asia ( know Cricket is Number 1 in India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka) as well as South America where they call it "futbul" or "futebol".
Pele called it "soccer" for his American audience.
Cricket is number one in India yes but certain places like bengal, Kerala, northeast, and goa football is huge. Kolkata derby is one of the biggest rivalries in asia. Third oldest tournament after fa Cup and Scottish Cup, it's durand cup of india. So yeah indian subcontinent also have history of football. It's getting popular now again.
@@mtk3755 Thank You,My Friend.
Cricker is NUmber one in India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh but There are more people watch football in these countries than there are people in Europe.
@@hasibalfuad9652 Yes, you are right.I understand.
We call it "futbol" its how football sounds in spanish
Plays hahaha. This is football, we don't get to stop the game every 10 seconds to decide what we should do next. This is about true skill and passion. Just stirring really. Just glad you are having the opportunity to see it. Now you just need it truly explained. And by the way, I call it football and I'm in New Zealand.
I think ur confusing american football plays with football plays, the only thing that can be rehearsed and executed in the same way in football are freekicks and corners as there is less variability as everyone is standing somewhat still, in open play 16:07 messi vs maradona, u cant plan to dribble a ball like that before hand, that is pure instincts and finding gaps to run into and avoiding tackles, that play is pure coincidence that they are identical from the run he makes to the defenders positions and actions, the only possible thing that may have made less spontaneous is muscle memory and messi unconsciously doing the same run as maradona after watching him to do it, and thats only if he ever did rewatch it over and over again
Bulldog is always wrong, please help him!
Thanks for the comment!
I like the French commentator ending here "After seeing this, we can die at ease, the later the better but we can."
Pelé... The greatest of the greatest. A guy that played in black and white TV and looked like a 2022 football player. 60 years ahead of his time and counting.
LoL 🤣 good one 🤣 true though a timeless beast indeed
Most of his goals were offside
hes top 2 ever. Legend of the sport. Best African player ever
@@adrien1623 brazil
@@motaboi5397 oh look we have a class clown here. No shit he's from Brazil, but he has mainly African (Congo blood) Its called being black/Moor
My parents have watched The Dutch loose 2 World cup finals in a row (74&78), and our turn to watch the worldcup fly by ours eyes was on 2010. Casillas his big toe stopped a sure Robben goal. It's better to become 3th, then second place.
this year is our year🇳🇱 (I Hope, the squad still isnt what it used to be)
ohh woow, thats sad :( Im from Spain so that world cup I was happy but I know how does it feel when you just can not win :( (im a barca fan, imagine haha)
@@estrellasalazar5329 Xavi out tho i dont know who can replace him at this moment but he wont get us anywhere sadly
@@estrellasalazar5329 Barca won a lot, try being a PSV Eindhoven fan haha
@@dennishendrikx3228 oh i get what youre saying and its true but right now Barça is pretty bad :/ since 2 y ago
Regarding 20:46, you're correct that Danijel Subašić, the Croatian goalkeeper, could have been better on this strike - the fact is, he was playing injured (yes, he was playing a *World Cup Final* injured. Apparently, the Croatian coach had so little faith in their 2nd and 3rd choice goalkeepers that even an injured Subašić was better than them.) 3 out of 4 goals for France were scored on the left side of the goal (so on Subašić's right side), and you can see he cannot really get any good 'push' out of his right leg.
I'm French, so I'm happy we won the World Cup, but I'll always wonder "what would have been" if Subašić hadn't been injured.
Football has always been huge in Africa
My first time here on your channel, and i cant describe to you how big of a smile it put on my face, watching 2 newcomers to the sport have the same reaction and emotions as i did watching these highlights and moments and the fact u have a guy who is well invested in the sport who can give u some more insides and help them understand the depths of the players and plays happening makes this reaction complete in my book. Thank you guys for a fantastic 20 min watch.
The problem is American people believe actually America is whole the world and nothing more else are outside the country, is a true ain and huge pitty. Because the people there lose the opportunity to know a lot of cultural expressions around the world, a lot of amazing food dishes you never thoug to try in your life, for real like a food for the royalty, a lot landscapes that youll never can image to walk in. Amazing places and people to know and share moments you never forget ... Is really a pitty to stay only in USA like a " Auto imposed prisson" Is really sad
Un paese senza storia , un misto tra razze senza senso, il loro cibo fa schifo è malato la loro mentalità è malata , oltre che creano problemi al mondo intero , e non voglio parlare di guerre che è meglio
Latin Americans call it “Fútbol.” It means "Football.” I think it's called " soccer," mainly here in the US and Canada.
Bruv down here in south America everyone calls it football (or Fútbol/Futebol, depending on the language), nobody calls it soccer here
I love how he is talking about penalties as in penalty shootout and the other guy thinks he is talking about penalties as in punishments :D
What a beautifully made video. Whoever made it, they articulated the beautiful game pretty well for non-watchers.
one thing they got wrong is about the planned things. There is no huddling up and planning specific plays because the games dont stop unless its half time, everything just happens at that moment and the players decide what they will or deem the best option to do by themselves
The penalty conversation got confused as you didn't realise the American was thinking of FOULS rather than spot kicks
Na América do Sul é Futebol (football) como o resto do mundo eles sabem muito bem qual é o nome do desporto
(soccer) é só na América e Canada
OK I am getting ona bit. But back in the 60's and 70's, growing up in Britain it was as common to call it soccer, up to until around 30 so years ago. So makes no difference to me what they call it, still the same game.
Also our main sky provider, Sky Sports have titles soccer specials.
I have cried watching several of these highlights live. Unfortunately on no occasion were they tears of joy😂
Loved this reaction!!
But i loveeed how the guy on top keeps asking "was it planned??", probaly thinking that the players stop during the game to set a play as many times as they do in American football!
I admit that there are some plays that they train during the week... but everytime he asks that, specially in the plays that he did, it's almost insulting to hear that, not realising how brilliant some of those plays were, that many of them were "improvised" during the game... and not set plays as the question implies! As if almost any player could do a well trained "set play"!! As if there weren't only a few (very few!!) players that have the talent and genius to do some of those things!
PS: I said "ALMOST insulting" because i realise that he doesn't know much about the game, and probably is comparing it to what he knows, American Football! I know that he means well.. but it still itches my brain when he asks that lol
I get anxiety just watching you trying to explain everything in this video to people who don't know anything about football, haha. Messi's skill, the meaning of that Aguero goal, all the legends etc. (Btw, that wasn't City's first league title but first since the 60's.)
same 😭
Pure cringe😂😂
Wow! This is amazing video brings back memories.
Honestly, it's Peter Drury's commentary in the Roma vs Barca match that gets me hyped everytime! That man is something else with his words!
„I‘m introducing you to football the proper way. Through the fans first and then the game“
I already thought it a few times within the couple of minutes before, but my bro, I really feel the love of football inside you and your words. You understand this religion 💯👊🏽
Here on south America we call it football too, i think most of people call it football specially countries were it's popular
Great job guys!!!
It's wild that American's are so hung up on 'plays' that they genuinely believe you can 'plan' to run past 6 players and score lmao.
I’m from Louisiana and my grandma is British.so in 2004 my family and I went over to visit relatives, everyday for two weeks I saw at-least a dozen people with Beckham jerseys on. Not to mention the pubs with people going nuts during the EURO. That’s one takeaway I have from visiting England.
In general, football is popular and a favorite sport all over the world, with the exception of the United States. Even the USA's neighbors are die-hard football fans.
just a little reminder on the guy at the top, Football players doesn't huddle in the middle of the pitch while the ball is in play to plan on how they score, unless it's a free kick.
Good Reaction Guys. When I watched Man City win the title at Newcastle 4/3 in 1968 then I must have imagined it. lol
Also, you could have mentioned that Man United thought they had won it and were celebrating at Sunderland. Controversially when the match was restarted, QPR - knowing that they were still safe from relegation - again hit the ball out for a throw-in and remained in their own half as Clichy and Hart passed the ball near their corner flag until Dean ended the match a few seconds later.
you watched Man City before they born
I assume our American friends knew there were explanations of the significance of some of these goals like Leicester winning the title at @5,000/1 Odds-A World Record and Greece winning The Euros @ 150/1.and Man United already celebrating when Man City scored those 2 needed injury-time goals and the opposition NOT trying to equalize in the minute remaining as they heard 15 minutes earlier that they were safe from relegation:)
Oh and don't forget for Leicester City, that shot of the Leicester City player celebrating is Jamie Vardy who is a Cinderella Story himself. He was plucked out of relative football obscurity (he played Non-League Football and had a regular 9-5 job) and was instrumental in saving Leicester from being relegated the year before helping lead Leicester to title.
@@cs3473 Very Good point,my friend:)
Dude you just watched real FOOTBALL.... the one the whole planet play,100% talent and o% violence and commercials.
the golden goal was invented for the soccer world cup in the USA, it was made to appeal to the sporting taste of Americans, but since it was a stupid rule it didn't last long
This video is so well done and emotional!! I can't stand sitting on my chair... Memories and epic battles on the field!! I was waiting for few italians players's awseome scores Baggio, Del Piero, Totti etc... Anyway ot's so good to see this!!! A good football shower I'd say!!*
I like how the English man is trying to explain everything and the other 2 guys can't be even bothered to read the descriptions under each play.
answer to comment about players sliding on their knees. Football pitches have irrigation systems. Before each match, the system is active to wet the pitch. Prevents damage to the field, and prevents injury to players. The wet grass makes it easy to slide on yours without getting hurt. But some players have gotten hurt doing it anyways. Anyone who's played at amateur level, knows what its like to fall on dry ground. lol
seeing iniesta's goal in the 2010 final spain - netherlands still hurts after 12 year😩, the 5-1 win 4years later was amazing but didnt heal the scared
Getting beat 5-1 really really hurt believe me.. But I got over it remembering we won the World Cup... Anyways hope Netherlands win World Cup soon, as a Barca fan I'd love to see it.
@@manuelrodriguez2637 lets hope together as barca fans haha
I remember so many of those goals 🥳😢....
Glad you guys want to learn more but god damn I want his patience lol
watching this as a non northamerican is hilarious @7:18 man hears commentator scream "Messi!" and he says "oh I've heard his name before"💀💀
🙊🙉🙈
Love you bully!!! Get this channel shared #football

The whole world says it Football. ❤
Chills!!!
Just chills
Next time, tell them the stories behind the moments
In South America is called football, also in México and big part of central america.
So in the continent is like 80% calls it football and a 20% made of USA, Canada and two or three countries uses soccer
2.55 secs Football in Africa has always been huge! You may want to watch The Africa Cup of Nations !!!!!
In South America, Asia, Europe, Africa almost all continents call it football. Only in USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are countries that call it soccer in my opinion.
Just one comment, it would have been good to see a few saves because people tend to forget the fantastic goalkeepers that play the "beautiful game'
The l’astuce sentence heard is n’y Thierry Roland, famous French sport reporter. Just after first world Cup won by France un 1998. "After seing this, you can die in peace ".
He died a few months later
Another banger
yessir
Australia calls it soccer, very few other countries do. You forget it is huge in Asia - China, Japan, everywhere.
You guys should do a goalkeeper compilation reaction video!!
MANY LEGENDS MADE IT IN USA BEFORE BECKHAM, PELE, BECKENBAUER, BEST ETC IN THE 70s THE LEGENDS OPENED THE DOOR FIR THE REST
We ask the players to love their jerseys and to fight and be ready to die for it
Well in italy we call it “Calcio” which translates to soccer…
21:00 he didn't see the ball. Please teach these Americans
Nobody but he US and Canada call It soccer... Everywhere else is Futbol, Fusball, Football AND other variants
actually Man City won their first championship in season11936/37 and second in 1967/68 just to be clear
Now do ultra our way of life ...its really beautiful
We did!
Really I can't seem to find it...do u have a link or something..please

Here in Europe the football is about love and passion. In USA its for fun and entertainment. Here we are ready to give everything for our favorite team.
David Beckham got a Knighthood for scoring a penalty against Argetina
I will never forgive Gareth bale for the bicycle kick
my man just watched the best moments of his fav sport(his life) in such quick succession he about to cry, very much like myself here XD
Also being an Arsenal fan living my best life rn
Penalties are 5-5 for each team, the team that scores highest wins, if after the first 5s are taken and they tie, they each play 1 penalty and first to lose while the other team scores wins
Oh, just watching this with young (15) son. How do they slide?
It's grass. Real grass, not artificial turf.
But yeah, that match was something else.
"I'm introducing football in the proper way" 👌👍
Everywere in the world is Football, except the USA.
I am a football / soccer fan
The Old Firm, Glasgow Celtic v Glasgow Rangers is the most intense soccer game.
I support Aberdeen FC in Scotland.
Great reaction guys!! You guys should also watch ronaldinho greatest entertainment
The whole world says football
Except in America, they always try to disagree
In the order of distances
in the spaces
in length measurement
in weight
You should probably look stuff like that up before you comment

karen
Lol, you even liked your own comment
You're the only football fan who has given respectable, non annoying, co commentary of this video. Normally when people do this they butcher the facts or give ridiculous bias' throughout but you didn't.
this!!
Football is called soccer in only called in North America, Ireland(as they have gaelic football) and australia(they have aus rules football)and new Zealand Japan as well. Rest few nations here and there but majorly these regions.
It's always been huge in Africa...
Soccer is a valid name for the game. The full name of the sport is Association Football, Soccer comes from Association - Assoc - Soccer. The term was not coined in USA, it was coined in UK many many years ago
You talk a lot about emotional intensity and the magic of scoring a goal in football, but never point out the main reason for why that is - goal scarcity.
Fewer goals mean the importance of each individual goal is way more important than in any other sport. And the goals that are especially beautiful and important stand out more and become even more magical.
more football reactions lads!
Keep an eye out for tomorrow =)
Imagine Europe people would call american Football soccer😂 americans would get crazy haha
We South Americans call it Fútbol.
That is called :" stop on the chest " ❤
I was expecting the 2016 European final where Portugal won France it was amazing
Lo.mejor y único q vivirán en su vida Marcadora,Messi, disfruten y ya puedon morir felices

Its hard to become a football fan out of a black box or in older age. You need a home club or your national team to get early in touch with. Then you have big emotions and its the best sport in the world. And no one calls it soccer (maybe the US , but this doesnt count ;)
Sout Americans call it Futebol or Futbol. So it's pretty the same as "Football". Only in the US and Canada is it called "soccer"..
And australia and Ireland and Japan.... chat so much bs
Mexico calls it football and even changed the spelling to adapt it to Spanish, not sure about the rest the countries to the south of us, we call it Futbol.
Wasn't the golden goal tried during the 1994 World cup in America.
12:44 the fans of the opposing team, Juventus, applaud the goals received by Ronaldo; beautiful football overrides football faith
Try Hugo Sanchez, Marco van Basten, Ronaldo Nazario, Rivaldo, some old school football.
Plays other than set pieces aren’t planned!
greatest and most loved sport in the world
Someone must have told you but bro that Aguero clip,it wasn't the first time we won the League Championship
British dude ffs pal they're American and a penalty is the equivalent to a yellow card, a sin bin or lose ten yards. No wonder he instantly thought the one with the least penalties wins 🙄 🤣
Gosh....football has been huge in Africa forever
I never understand how can Spain win 3 consecutive titles being the best team for almost 10 years and never appear in those videos
Nobody in the world calls it soccer but Americans, we call futbol in America and Central America
