I think judging a country by their football fans is never a good idea. Here in the UK we have a lot of racist, homophobic and antisemitic behaviour from football fans, and it’s generally defended as “just a bit of banter”. Like the Spurs fan who threw a banana at Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and said in his defence he just picked up the nearest thing to throw and it happened to be a banana, or the West Ham fans who verbally abused a Jewish passenger on a plane to Belgium.

As a Czech, I must say that EURO 2012 was one of the greatest championships of all times. The memories from there are simply extraordinary, mainly because of the atmosphere Polish fans brought. I vividly remember the match against Poland, where Petr Jiráček scored an absolutely astonishing goal, which sent us to the quarter-final. It gives me goosebumps :'-))

I'm sorry you had experienced this. Im from Russia, I always made sure anyone who was visiting and would be targeted by such hooligans for whichever reason would be welcomed by me and others.
Sorry but it's terribly one-sided and condescending take BBC documentary was extremely biased in the way it pushed its narrative. It led many black sportsmen living in Poland to make statements condemning Cole for his ignorant and racist rant. I remember travelling a lot at the time of the tournament, seeing fans everywhere and it generally was a massive celebration. In fact same hooligans you're talking about warned their supporters not to try to attack foreign fans or else they'd be dealt with by themselves. For the amount of people that arrived in Poland it was extremely peaceful tournament
yeah about that, I'd say Ukraine is the most... "problematic" of those two its kind of amazing to see a video of someone describing Ukraine for what it has been until recently. Now, I'm not an idiot, I'm not saying "oh so actually they're the bad guys", nothing justifies this invasion. it's just wierd and somewhat refreshing to see such a nonchalant review of Ukraine's darker side without everyone going nuts. Oh and just to make it clear, I repeat, whatever is said about Ukraine cant justify acts of war against them, but its healthy to be aware of everyone's shenanigans
A lot of these hooligans and racists got recruited for battalions like azov. These football clubs might have been a breeding ground for this movement, maybe even made on purpose. Fair to assume a lot of the people seen in the documentary are now dead.
You know these corruption shenanignans where the results of russian influence? The pro-west shift happened between 2013-2014, after the ukrainian people where sick and tired of being a russian puppet state, controlled by a few oligarchs.
i have to say it honestly. there are very less chanels in youtube who make these type of football vids, idk whether you will discontinue these series in favour of career mode or not, but personally i like these kind of vids and would subscribe if such videos continue

To be fair, Euro 2012 and 2018 World Cup was a precursor for Russia and Ukraine before they ignited a deadly conflict this year. Ukraine hosted Euro 2012, and two years later, Russia annexes Crimea from Ukraine, thus starting a crisis. The Ukrainian crisis only happened several weeks after Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russia hosted 2018 World Cup. The same year, Ukraine also hosted the Champions League Final in Kiev, when Liverpool's Loris Karius made two infamous goalkeeping errors.
Dude love the channel!!! Just found you a couple days ago. This vid was very interesting due to current times. I really hope the war does not spread in Europe and we can still have the World Cup
Where can I watch the episode about the most controversial World Cup, ie 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea Japan? It was the only tournament in international football that was characterized by such overt corruption, racism, discrimination and harassment of fans.
In 1966, England was also rigged to win by infamous Geoff Hurst's Wembley Goal. In 1998, France was also rigged to win after successfully poisoned Brazillian Ronaldo. In 2002, South Korea was also rigged to win by the referee decision.
Not saying you're wrong, but jacking up prices before an event isn't so surprising. And I don't know what it might compare to. Not saying that the prices would go up as much in Charlotte, but I"m curious what you could compare the Euro Cup to happening IN Charlotte. there's the quantity of the games being played. Let's say ALL of the NCAA basketball games were going to happen in North Carolina, except people were treating each game like the finals of the NBA. I doubt the prices at the 5 star hotel would go up as high, but how do you compare how much Europeans feel about Soccer with an event in the USA? I do think the three star prices would be higher over all, considering Euro's are worth more than the US dollar. Thanks for your videos, and price hikes were on the lower end of issues you mentioned.

And United States of America in 2020: 11,129 hate crimes were recorded by the police (via OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Hate Crime Data)
Good video, the 2012 were controversial, this steered the nation to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, we all know how that panned out.Euros have always been controversial, the 1988 Euros in Germany are best remembered for the Dutch vs German rivalry,there was a lot of political undertones to the whole gig.2016 Euros will be best remembered for the riots between Russian hooligans vs English hooligans. Needless to say Putin enjoyed seeing English hooligans running away from a losing battle lol!
and don't think those tournaments will be best remembered for that, I mean, that happened but it's not the first thing that comes to mind when I think back about it
e.g. - 2,357 hate crimes were recorded by the police in France (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data) - 4,514 hate crimes were recorded by the police in Germany (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data) - 5,796 criminal incidents involving 6,718 offenses were reported in United States of America (FBI 2012 Hate Crime Statistics) - 47,676 hate crimes were recorded by the police in England and Wales and Northern Ireland (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data)
A Euro in a Eastern European country. In one that was strangled by the Soviet’s the most? And the Soviet’s were known to be WAY behind in modernization? What could possibly go wrong?!
Ukraines corruption has drastically been reduced. Not because of the Euro 2012, but because 2014 finally got yanukovich out of office. Our police has gotten a lot better in recent years and racism isnt really prevelant. I mean, in itself, racism isnt really a big problem in ukraine's biggest cities. I would say that we did improve massivly after 2014.
As a Pole the 2012 euros where not that bad . In Poland you will definitely find less racism but it's still there. Polish league has asian and African players that are treated fine but as we all know they are those who want everyone that are not like them to die. After all we can't change a country that had no mixing with other nations over night. I do believe that the world is moving in the right direction but most of the racism doesn't come form you people but older. I've been living abroad for the past 20 years and it's the same everywhere. TIME TO FUCKING STAND UP AND END THIS BULLSHIT!!

Good video, the 2012 were controversial, this steered the nation to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, we all know how that panned out.Euros have always been controversial, the 1988 Euros in Germany are best remembered for the Dutch vs German rivalry,there was a lot of political undertones to the whole gig.2016 Euros will be best remembered for the riots between Russian hooligans vs English hooligans. Needless to say Putin enjoyed seeing English hooligans running away from a losing battle lol!
and don't think those tournaments will be best remembered for that, I mean, that happened but it's not the first thing that comes to mind when I think back about it
No, that competition didn't lead us to the revolution
if we look at maqwells sub count right now, we can see that he likes listening to juice wrld
Summoning Salt reference was banger
Bruh be chillin with the lotion over there🤣
These videos are amazing there so entertaining and reignited my love of football
The Dutch training racism was investigated and found to be a false allegation made by Robben when the crowd were protesting in the stadium
4:51 we need a base to compare to.
A number is big when compared to something else.
e.g.
- 2,357 hate crimes were recorded by the police in France (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data)
- 4,514 hate crimes were recorded by the police in Germany (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data)
- 5,796 criminal incidents involving 6,718 offenses were reported in United States of America (FBI 2012 Hate Crime Statistics)
- 47,676 hate crimes were recorded by the police in England and Wales and Northern Ireland (OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights 2012 Hate Crime Data)
Anyone notice the had an Unai Emery book with a bottle of lotion on top
I know I'm late to the party but I must show my appreciation for the Summoning Salt reference
This aged well lol!
funny how one war can change perspectives real quick
Russia best Ukraine bad
@@rag9376 russia and ukraine bad
@@rag9376 both are shit
It was in 2012, so when ukraine was run by russian puppets. Ukraine changed drastically after the Revolution in 2014.
A Euro in a Eastern European country. In one that was strangled by the Soviet’s the most? And the Soviet’s were known to be WAY behind in modernization? What could possibly go wrong?!
basically it all went ok XD
you know, there is a reason Yanukovych got revolution'd TWICE
The real sponsor of this video was that moisterizer 🤣
so were not gonna talk about the lotion on the desk
Bruh this video deserves a lot more attention and views Great story
Hahahah the song when he mentioned speedruning, amazing reference
max why do you have lotion on your desk?
Euro 2012 was supposed to to be won by England but had a final four of Portugal, Spain, Germany & Italy, nearly the biggest possible.
And now Spain & Portugal want to include Ukraine in their 2030 World Cup bid, when it will sure to still be recovering from the current war.
populists be crazy i guess
But it now included Morocco instead of Ukraine.
That is a hand sanitizer bottle next to you
...right?
The racism part 2 thing didn't actually involve poland tho that was the fans.
Ukraines corruption has drastically been reduced. Not because of the Euro 2012, but because 2014 finally got yanukovich out of office. Our police has gotten a lot better in recent years and racism isnt really prevelant. I mean, in itself, racism isnt really a big problem in ukraine's biggest cities.
I would say that we did improve massivly after 2014.

Is nobody going to mention the Summoning Salt reference? I didn't know the guy was this popular.
the unai emery masterclass book with the lotion on top omfg
Plzzz do the world cup 2002 it was very controversial
That’d be hella interesting to research into. Euro vids for now but that’s defo on the idea list
he wont how can an asian country do something wrong S.korea deserved to be in the semis in his opinion
6:22 RT supporting Ukraine, extremely cursed
It really is
It was in 2012, so when ukraine was still run by russian puppets and before the 2014 Revolution, which ousted them.
Still got my 2012 sticker book
I love the speedrunning part where you use the music that summoning salt uses for his vids
3:28 yep great way to defend one of your star players
That beautiful summoning salt joke🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
great video!
Why do you have moisturiser on top of an Unai Emori book?
Racist Incident in Poland 2011- 600
in UK 2011- 50 000.
xD
Despite what the media tries to tell you, racism isn't a problem in Poland.
But tell me how many migrants are in Uk and how many in Poland ?
@@Sharkoon030 2022:
Poland -2mln
Uk-6 mln.
@@wojteksie93 różnica jest taka że w Polsce nie biała populacja stanowi coś ok 0.5% całej populacji więc ciężej o takie incydenty
As a Pole the 2012 euros where not that bad . In Poland you will definitely find less racism but it's still there. Polish league has asian and African players that are treated fine but as we all know they are those who want everyone that are not like them to die. After all we can't change a country that had no mixing with other nations over night. I do believe that the world is moving in the right direction but most of the racism doesn't come form you people but older. I've been living abroad for the past 20 years and it's the same everywhere. TIME TO FUCKING STAND UP AND END THIS BULLSHIT!!
Do a kit collection vid
It ain’t that impressive lol
So weird watching this during the invasion
