In basketball, baseball and NFL football, scoring is constant... and so the elation is split evenly in the game. In football ⚽the goals take time and everyone is on the edge... and when the moment comes and a goal is scored, the elation is a bigger release and the win is much more emotional.
It's even much more than that. Football shapes the lives of so many people. Fan groups and amateur clubs serve as social hubs, often like families. Millions of children are enrolled in football clubs, many of whom grow up with a specific team in their hearts. Many of the moments shown were likely experiences for each individual or even had political consequences. In positive (e.g. Germany 54) and negative (Qatar 22 or Russia 18)
Hopefully they understand the rules of the game first otherwise it can be somewhat meaningless. Would be like me reacting to American football knowing none of the rules.
Cindy the thing is with football which is why it is tribal, as an example my grandfather was a Dundee FC Supporter, my Dad Was a Dundee FC Supporter, I am a Dundee FC Supporter and you cannot ever switch to another team, unlike a girlfriend or wife who you can change you can never change the football club you support, its in your DNA.
Juninho, man. The dude was a magician with the free kicks. Unmatched, even to this day. I believe he still holds the record for free kick goals. What an absolute legend. Watching him live, it was like "give the free kick to Juni, that's obviously a goal."
They complain about futbol being low scoring but that is why the celebrations are so grand, the lack of scoring makes each one that much more impactful.

So much to say about the fan reactions. First, the sport itself. I'm an older American who has loved this game since the 1970s. I claim that once someone here is familiar with the rules, they'll see it - even though it's considered a "low scoring game", in a good one..about 60-70% of it is spent with someone "damn near about to". Edge of your chair (if you decide to sit instead of stand 😄) the whole time. You're either stoked that your side is attacking, or afraid of the opponent coming at you. There's an incredible release of emotion when the ball finally ends up in the net. Second, what folks from other countries said about the sense of community in your comment thread is * very * real. In much of the world, if you ask a local to show you around town, they'll point and say something like, 'This is our fire department, this is our school, and this is our football club!' Third, the game's so popular around the world that you don't even have to speak the same language just to play a 'pick-up' game in the park. When Matthew McConaughey (he's married to a Brazilian girl) was hyping the new MLS franchise in Austin TX, he said, "The soccer ball is the greatest invitation in the world." And he's right. Doesn't matter what language, skin color, or gender they are..bring out a ball, and people smile and start gathering. Sorry about the novel I just wrote on your vid comment page - I just really love this game, and am so excited that it seems to be finally getting more popular in the US. Greetings from Atlanta, GA!

@@hellskitchen10036 , my first exposure was "Soccer Made in Germany" on a local PBS station. Games cut down to a 60min TV show, with a Welsh guy from the BBC who was covering German football for them doing English language commentary over the top of it. I miss shortwave radio, though. Only way I could keep up with Formula 1 racing in the '70s.
As a Liverpool supporter that 4-0 against Barcelona was a match I will never, ever forget. 3-0 down from the first leg, we HAD to score 4 without reply to win against a scary Barcelona side. 1 goal from Barca and it was probably over. Nailbiter of a match but the euphoria when the 4th went in, lost my voice that night! Definitely check out Gerrard though, that man scored some absolute screamers!
This video hits fans in the feels, even more the older you are. I saw Pele, Cryuff, Beckenbauer, and Best all play live, and enjoyed the full careers of so many legends who followed after. It's emotional, especially watching them get choked up at their final match appearances.
@MrVvulf I agree I've said before it's my favourite video on UA-cam, Pele, Best and Beckenbauer were a bit before my time, I was around when Maradona was about, my grandad would tell me about Pele (he'd still say he's the best ever) football was mine and my grandads thing, I remember asking him "can I watch cartoons?" he said "not tonight the World Cup's on, you can watch it if you want" (Italia 90, i was 5) Italy vs Czechoslovakia (first match i ever watched), Roberto Baggio blew my mind, and just like that a lifelong football fan was born
The bike kick from Rooney to City and the Kun Agüero goal last minute to win the league were 2 of the most hype moments of my life. Ps. omg the 2019 UCL semifinals were THE BEST semis in the history of that competition
Hi Cindy. You mentioned Leicester City winning THe English Premier League for the first and only time in 2015 but what has not been said anywhere are the odds of them doing so at the start of the 38-game season which were FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE
Football grabs you so emotionally it's the most moving experience when you're part of something special. Of course as a fan there's bad moments too but you live in hope for that one special moment in your life especially like most when you support a team that's not always winning
I just started following her, but if she've seen these goals and moments for the first time, and is already this excited. Girl, there is a whole world of incredibleness waiting for you⚽️❤
Getting into football ⚽️ (soccer for many of us americans) have made me realize how much cardio and willingness to work for x amount of time. Props to you Cindy on getting into soccer ⚽️ content we love and appreciate ya 🩵🩵😊
Football is the best sport of all time! Football is much more than a sport, it is a lifestyle! The passion that we fans feel cannot be bought anywhere... It is pure love.
Thuram scoring for his first and only time with France national team is such a good story on its own. The interview given by the coach and his team explain exactly how everyone including Liliian Thuram were SHOCKED of the 2 back to back goals in that semi finale. That picture of Thuram scoring and dropping on his knees wondering : "Wtf is happening to me" is one of the best football memories I had as a kid watching my first World cup at home in France at 11 years old. And boy oh boy did it end well...
Hi Cindy! As an old footballer from Europe I can tell you why there is a differens between the U.S and Europe regarding the fans reaction. In Europe we are connected to the clubs, often in a daily basis, so they are kind of part of our identity and soul. In the U.S it's regarded as a franchise with only one team. In Europe our kids starts in the clubs when they are 5 or 6 years old, and often stay there playing till they get VERY old, sometimes in their 70'ties. So the passion is real, not just on sundays when the 1. team are playing. If it makes sence to you. And thanks for the vidoe. Regards from Denmark. P.s My Club, BK. FREM was founded in 1886.🤨🤔😂
That goal from Sergi Roberto for the 6-1 againts PSG... The audience was crazy. I've never seen people at Camp Nou like that never. It was an amazing experience.
I also recommend watching Zidane. He had the full package - playing with both feet, good with the head. I remember back then when watching him every week playing for Juventus and then Real Madrid - it was a delight every time
3:27 That Gareth Bale bicycle kick I have seen with my own eyes. The fans were going wild! There was an atmosphere that you can't express in words. You got to be there and feel it 💯
European football is incredible. Someone from the UK here, I dont know what its like in the US, but here if you can passionately get behind a team, and follow them through the lows as well as the highs, theres nothing like it.
13:58 French commentator Thierry Roland after the first World Cup title for France (after beating Brazil 3-0) "I think after seeing that, we can die peacefully. Well, the later possible, but we can". He since died.
O que impressona nesse vídeo, é que não há nem um lance do maior atacante de todos os tempos, the goat entre os jogadores profissionais, Ronaldo "Fenômeno".
So many eras, so many great players. There was a bias towards more recent times and so many great players could have received at least a mention. I'm thinking Jurgen Klinsmann, Pavel Nedved, Michael Laudrup, Peter Schmeichel, Michel Platini just to name a few. These are guys many former players have literally included in their greatest XI of all time. For me the greatest football movie/compilation of all time is "Hero - the story of the Mexico '86 World Cup" that partially concentrates on the big players who spearheaded their nations at a very special tournament. I belive it is still available in full on UA-cam since FIFA did the decent thing by releasing it for free after the passing of Diego Maradona. The actor Michael Caine also narrates it and its got a classic 80's vibe.
Great reaction. German football fan from the ruhr area here, die-hard supporter of my hometown club VfL Bochum 1848 for over 35 years now. Football is our life. Nur der VfL!!!! 💙🤍🤘

what an amazing video... powerfull, emotional... a lot of mixed emotions in the beauty of the best sport ever. Im Argentinian and we feel the football in a very passionate way but as a football fan im so grateful to see players from all over the world and from eras be that impossible good!.. gotta love football!!!!!
3:27 I have been on that UCL final in my home city Kyiv in Ukraine, and my favorite team Liverpool lost🙄 But that Bale bicycle was something very amazing!!!
The last sentence in french is very famous. It says "I believe after seeing this, we can die in peace. The later the better but we can". It was live on tv after France first WC win in 1998 and it still resonate into people's mind to this day. The man that pronunce those words was the voice of football for decades. He died quite young and it's kinda sad he hasn't seen us win a second time 20 years later.
I'm 48. I've seen a LOT of football in my life. And I watched this video and was left astonished. Barely a whisper of R9. The greatest player I have seen in my entire life.
So so so happy you reacted to this, thers so many insanely epic moments in this one... especially for me as a Liverpool fan ... "European Nights" at Anfield is something very very special ,,
The diff lvl of passion is mostly due to the fact that sport in the US aren't clubs but franchises that can move to another town, in the rest of the world there are clubs that are part of the towns they are in, their fanbase is built through generations. You can't compare these.
Hello from across the pond. I 1st fell in love the game when i was 4 nearly 5 yrs old and that was in 1974 my Club team LFC(Liverpool) the Gentleman quote at the start was the manager of LFC retired the following season. I love the NFL just think what it would be like to got to your our town city or whatever you maybe and cheering as your team beats the next town near you its a way of being proud of your town
The variance in quality of matches is much higher in football than in most other sports. You can even have extremely dull 0-0 matches that are nothing but a complete waste of time. Something that doesn't exist in other sports. (Though even 0-0 matches in football can still be great.) But precisely because of that, when you do get great matches they can become absolutely exhilarating and unforgettable. Which is also far more rare in other sports.
I think the biggest problem in american football and american sports in general when it comes to the fans passion is the franchising system. When your team plays an awful season and ends last you just move on to the next season and are even rewarded with better draft picks, while ending last in a european football league results in a relegation/dropping to a lower league. Having consequences of your teams performance just naturally has you as a fan more emotionally invested into your team and sport.
Cindy now you need to react to best deffences/goalkeepers of all time, that'd be fun too. Buffon, Casillas, Navas, Cech, Van Der Sär, Oliver Khan, Higuita, Goycochea, Taffarel, Dida, Alisson... Those are all GOATs as well.
@@itsbluereacts and here, we loves football ;) and we love nice, friendly and cute girls like you ;) take a look at my city here (it's Federico Fellini's hometown) ua-cam.com/video/BtzbMhlOL2Y/v-deo.html ;)
When we won Euro 2004 it wasn't just the fact that we were outsiders but we played against great teams and bested them and we played twice with Portugal and a baby Ronaldo and we won both times and they were the hosts too. Opening game and the final. We were hated back then because the team played old school game style and especially the Brits were salty. Too bad we humbled them this year in similar style and in their own country.
I can see you’ve already done a reaction video for Maradona. Truly the GOAT and he did it in an era where he received little protection for ruthless defenders. What he did in the 86 wc and for Napoli can never be surpassed.
Some recommendations of players you should know Johan Cruyff one of the best of all time Robert Lewandowski one of the best goalscorers of modern football Thierry Henry arguably the greatest Premier league player ever,his highlights are incredible to watch
For us Brits, Europeans, and South Americans footbal isnt just a sport it's religion. And the stadium is our Church. We love our players clubs and countrys just as passionately as we love our own familys. This is not an exaggeration! Its fact!
Before the start of the premier league year when Leicester city won, their odds of winning was 5000:1. People thought they would get relegated that year instead.
I think with most Americans, most games is about going to see a specific person and having this and that signed but the real football⚽ is about going to enjoy the game, cherishing it, Living in the moment, the win the lose it's everything. Football is just beautiful
Club football is a lifestyle. National football teams are sometimes the country ( latter at least in netherlands, germany, uk, scotland, brazil, portugal, italy, south Korea, Nigeria, cameroon, argentinia, belgium, marocco) and growing in coutries like poland, tscheccia, croatia many asian countries. Oh i forgot turkiye.. both clubs are fanatic (not always that nice) and national team: really fantastically passionate
You have to see the passion of argentiniang fans like boca juniors, and also the stunning coreography of Internazionale milano, wich sometimes I was part of it.
Football is about extraordinary goals but also fabulous goalkeeper saves. Goalless games can be of high quality due to the actions stopped by goalkeepers who hold their opponents in check.
I would say it's because of the pacing. Other sports have constant scoring, and there's not that much sports that can end in zero score for both. So this creates the sort of tension for who would break into the score first, and both are trying to score and stop the other. While in other sports, everyone has their chance to build up the score, it's expected to have some points.
This video is a great over view! If you enjoyed it I recommend you look into some of these events in more detail. With more context you will appreciate how incredible the moments are. Just a few that I recommend are: Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (4-3 aggregate) Ajax 2-3 Tottenham (3-3 aggregate, Tottenham win on away goal rule) Barcelona 6-1 PSG (6-5 aggregate) Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea (2-3 aggregate) Real Madrid 3-1 Man City (6-5 aggregate) Champions league final 2005 AC Milan vs Liverpool Champions league final 1999 Manchester United vs Bayern Munich Leicester City winning the Premier League in 2016 (5000/1) Manchester City 3-2 QPR (Man city winning the Premier League thanks to two goals in 90+ minutes)
You should follow the Emirates FA Cup channel if you aren't already. They've got loads of full games on there. The Manchester United v Liverpool from last season is a particular highlight. Loads of goals, loads of excitement and a last minute winner deep in extra time. My heart was in my mouth watching that one live. Could easily have gone either way
5:36 that is not the best goal, but with some context that was one of the most beautifull moment in football history, thats why the spectators reaction was wild
Cindy if motivational/inspirational sports videos are your thing, then this 13 minute video is the Gold standard; the music, the variety of sports, everything is perfect. If I'm ever feeling flat or lacking mojo, I watch this and by the end I'm ready to take on the world. ua-cam.com/video/kE7D7qFayVg/v-deo.html
Football is beautiful cause it's has is lows and highs, sad moments and joys, it takes time and effort to score, patience and resilience to win, football is beautiful cause it's simple, football is complicated too. Football is popular cause football is like the life itself.
3:27 you can no longer do that nowdays without getting a yellow card. Sometimes players forgot they already got a yellow card which led to the second yellow and getting sent off as a result.
You have to react to the F2 FREESTYLERS. They were the OGs of the youtube football scene. Their videos with gerrard, courtois and their penalty team challenges are ICONIC
You should react to football movies like "Goal! The Dream Begins" which was considered by SPORTBible as the "greatest football film of all time"." "Goal II: Living the Dream" is also a good one but stay away from the third movie. "Escape to Victory" (sometimes with the title "Victory" or "V for Victory") is in my opinion the greatest football film ever. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and some of the world's best footballers like Pele, Bobby Moore, and Mike Sommerbee. This is a "must-watch" for any football lover.
You need to watch "Zlatan Ibrahimovic Craziest skills ever - impossible goals" he got a different style to both Ronaldo and Messi, more acrobatic than both and with marshal arts background, so a power kicker. He just retired last year and is a ledgend of the sport although never quite managed to get to the same level as Ronaldo or Messi, but he was not far off. Zlatan got a really entertaining personality as well, loads of viral interviews on Late night shows etc
Zlatan scored what, in my opinion, was the most impossible, fantasy goal I've ever seen...I think Cindy showed it here... Oh and, Cindy, check on videos of olímpico goals... They're always fan to watch... Of course they're more fun to watch as they happen, in R/L, because of the element of surprise, but still, you will love to check them out 🙂
@@fonsecorona yeah the bicycle kick against england was in here, but in the video I linked I think it gives a better impression of how hard it is to do something like that to someone who is not super into football cuz it has english commentary over it
You should try two channels 1) "O canto das torcidas" it's just crowds singing their football chants. One specially good is Raja Casablanca from Marrocos. Mind blowing; 2) Copa90 Derby Days. This is the best football content in internet by a margin. It's soooo good.

I saw Pele, Cryuff, Beckenbauer, and Best all play live, and enjoyed the full careers of so many legends who followed after.
It's emotional, especially watching them get choked up at their final match appearances.
@MrVvulf I agree I've said before it's my favourite video on UA-cam, Pele, Best and Beckenbauer were a bit before my time, I was around when Maradona was about, my grandad would tell me about Pele (he'd still say he's the best ever) football was mine and my grandads thing, I remember asking him "can I watch cartoons?" he said "not tonight the World Cup's on, you can watch it if you want" (Italia 90, i was 5) Italy vs Czechoslovakia (first match i ever watched), Roberto Baggio blew my mind, and just like that a lifelong football fan was born
The bike kick from Rooney to City and the Kun Agüero goal last minute to win the league were 2 of the most hype moments of my life.
Ps. omg the 2019 UCL semifinals were THE BEST semis in the history of that competition
Hi Cindy.
You mentioned Leicester City winning THe English Premier League for the first and only time in 2015 but what has not been said anywhere are the odds of them doing so at the start of the 38-game season which were FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE
Johan Cruyff, Pele, Maradona- RIP legends 🙏
"Football isn't life or death...it's more important than that" Bill Shankley, Liverpool Manager 1959-1974
Football grabs you so emotionally it's the most moving experience when you're part of something special.
Of course as a fan there's bad moments too but you live in hope for that one special moment in your life especially like most when you support a team that's not always winning
I just started following her, but if she've seen these goals and moments for the first time, and is already this excited. Girl, there is a whole world of incredibleness waiting for you⚽️❤
love love it!
Getting into football ⚽️ (soccer for many of us americans) have made me realize how much cardio and willingness to work for x amount of time.
Props to you Cindy on getting into soccer ⚽️ content we love and appreciate ya 🩵🩵😊
Football is the best sport of all time! Football is much more than a sport, it is a lifestyle! The passion that we fans feel cannot be bought anywhere... It is pure love.
You got into football at a great time seeing as the World Cup is coming to America in 2026, you’ll be an expert by then! 🇺🇸
Yep, but they're trying to bastardise it tomfit in with them, half time shows ffs
That Robben goal and game was a nice revenge against Spain for 2010. Should've won one of those WCs with the players we had.
Thuram scoring for his first and only time with France national team is such a good story on its own. The interview given by the coach and his team explain exactly how everyone including Liliian Thuram were SHOCKED of the 2 back to back goals in that semi finale. That picture of Thuram scoring and dropping on his knees wondering : "Wtf is happening to me" is one of the best football memories I had as a kid watching my first World cup at home in France at 11 years old. And boy oh boy did it end well...
Whoa! That was awesome! How cool that people like you miss are promoting this (and more) sport! Your interview with Pele, that was a delight!
Hi Cindy! As an old footballer from Europe I can tell you why there is a differens between the U.S and Europe regarding the fans reaction. In Europe we are connected to the clubs, often in a daily basis, so they are kind of part of our identity and soul. In the U.S it's regarded as a franchise with only one team. In Europe our kids starts in the clubs when they are 5 or 6 years old, and often stay there playing till they get VERY old, sometimes in their 70'ties. So the passion is real, not just on sundays when the 1. team are playing. If it makes sence to you. And thanks for the vidoe. Regards from Denmark. P.s My Club, BK. FREM was founded in 1886.🤨🤔😂
That goal from Messi vs Bilbao at the 2015 Copa del Rey final... I was on the stadium that day. Just magnificent.
I also was there for that MEssi vs Bayern Munich in 2015 :D
That goal from Sergi Roberto for the 6-1 againts PSG... The audience was crazy. I've never seen people at Camp Nou like that never. It was an amazing experience.
Such a beautiful video, glad you checked it out!
I also recommend watching Zidane. He had the full package - playing with both feet, good with the head. I remember back then when watching him every week playing for Juventus and then Real Madrid - it was a delight every time
3:27 That Gareth Bale bicycle kick I have seen with my own eyes. The fans were going wild! There was an atmosphere that you can't express in words. You got to be there and feel it 💯
European football is incredible. Someone from the UK here, I dont know what its like in the US, but here if you can passionately get behind a team, and follow them through the lows as well as the highs, theres nothing like it.
I highly recommend you look up and/or react to Euro 2004. It's definitely a Cindarella story if there ever was one.
Leicester winning the premier League surely
@@Stuffthatsfunny1 can´t compare a league to a 1 month tournament tho, each got its own pros and cons, and is an awesome feat in its own way
Taking your shirt off today gets you a booking.
13:58 French commentator Thierry Roland after the first World Cup title for France (after beating Brazil 3-0) "I think after seeing that, we can die peacefully. Well, the later possible, but we can". He since died.
O que impressona nesse vídeo, é que não há nem um lance do maior atacante de todos os tempos, the goat entre os jogadores profissionais, Ronaldo "Fenômeno".
Grateful for bringing back my childhood HEROES!
So many eras, so many great players. There was a bias towards more recent times and so many great players could have received at least a mention. I'm thinking Jurgen Klinsmann, Pavel Nedved, Michael Laudrup, Peter Schmeichel, Michel Platini just to name a few. These are guys many former players have literally included in their greatest XI of all time. For me the greatest football movie/compilation of all time is "Hero - the story of the Mexico '86 World Cup" that partially concentrates on the big players who spearheaded their nations at a very special tournament. I belive it is still available in full on UA-cam since FIFA did the decent thing by releasing it for free after the passing of Diego Maradona. The actor Michael Caine also narrates it and its got a classic 80's vibe.
Great reaction. German football fan from the ruhr area here, die-hard supporter of my hometown club VfL Bochum 1848 for over 35 years now. Football is our life. Nur der VfL!!!! 💙🤍🤘
Hi Cindy. I like you and have just Subscribed. I am in my 8th decade in London and have been to 1,779 live matches since 1962 and visited 84 different stadiums from one end of England to the other end and a few in Scotland, as well. You are NOW ready for:
" WORLD'S GREATEST FOOTBALL FANS-ULTRAS/EUROPE" and there you will see REAL passion from all over Europe.
N.B. Try not to turn the volume down as the fans are loud. Good Luck from South East London.
what an amazing video... powerfull, emotional... a lot of mixed emotions in the beauty of the best sport ever. Im Argentinian and we feel the football in a very passionate way but as a football fan im so grateful to see players from all over the world and from eras be that impossible good!.. gotta love football!!!!!
Ronaldo Nazario = Ronaldo Phenomenon very, very good
3:27 I have been on that UCL final in my home city Kyiv in Ukraine, and my favorite team Liverpool lost🙄 But that Bale bicycle was something very amazing!!!
Good man. Salah injured by Ramos and Karius doing his thing. Crazy game.
@@lyndoncmp5751 yeah( was sad and amazing to take part at the same time hehe)
@@KyivanEnjoyer I still can't believe all the weird stuff that happened in that game. A complete bizarre experience. 😳
The last sentence in french is very famous. It says "I believe after seeing this, we can die in peace. The later the better but we can".
It was live on tv after France first WC win in 1998 and it still resonate into people's mind to this day.
The man that pronunce those words was the voice of football for decades. He died quite young and it's kinda sad he hasn't seen us win a second time 20 years later.
Let's goooo. Congratulations on 10k
thank you!!
I'm 48. I've seen a LOT of football in my life. And I watched this video and was left astonished. Barely a whisper of R9. The greatest player I have seen in my entire life.
Ronnie 😊
It's Religion. 💪😎🔥
congraaaats on the 10k cindy , much more success
THANKS STEVIE!! ☺️🫶🏻
So so so happy you reacted to this, thers so many insanely epic moments in this one... especially for me as a Liverpool fan ... "European Nights" at Anfield is something very very special ,,
Falling in love with Liverpool FC means that you'll never walk alone ❤
It's so much more than football. ⚽It's family. ❤
The diff lvl of passion is mostly due to the fact that sport in the US aren't clubs but franchises that can move to another town, in the rest of the world there are clubs that are part of the towns they are in, their fanbase is built through generations. You can't compare these.
Ever since I got into Football this video has been my favorite video of all time. Football is truly beautiful!
"Roma has risen from their ruins" is some top-tier commentary!
Hello from across the pond. I 1st fell in love the game when i was 4 nearly 5 yrs old and that was in 1974 my Club team LFC(Liverpool) the Gentleman quote at the start was the manager of LFC retired the following season. I love the NFL just think what it would be like to got to your our town city or whatever you maybe and cheering as your team beats the next town near you its a way of being proud of your town
I dont think some people understand how legendary that Istanbul game was for all of Liverpool.
The variance in quality of matches is much higher in football than in most other sports.
You can even have extremely dull 0-0 matches that are nothing but a complete waste of time. Something that doesn't exist in other sports.
(Though even 0-0 matches in football can still be great.)
But precisely because of that, when you do get great matches they can become absolutely exhilarating and unforgettable. Which is also far more rare in other sports.
I think the biggest problem in american football and american sports in general when it comes to the fans passion is the franchising system. When your team plays an awful season and ends last you just move on to the next season and are even rewarded with better draft picks, while ending last in a european football league results in a relegation/dropping to a lower league. Having consequences of your teams performance just naturally has you as a fan more emotionally invested into your team and sport.
Cindy now you need to react to best deffences/goalkeepers of all time, that'd be fun too. Buffon, Casillas, Navas, Cech, Van Der Sär, Oliver Khan, Higuita, Goycochea, Taffarel, Dida, Alisson... Those are all GOATs as well.
great video! thanks!
greetings from Rimini, Italy
love italyyy!! 🩵
@@itsbluereacts and here, we loves football ;) and we love nice, friendly and cute girls like you ;) take a look at my city here (it's Federico Fellini's hometown) ua-cam.com/video/BtzbMhlOL2Y/v-deo.html ;)
Football defines part of the lifestyle of many, many countries.
As a football fan and an Araenal fan, i loved this.
LFG
When we won Euro 2004 it wasn't just the fact that we were outsiders but we played against great teams and bested them and we played twice with Portugal and a baby Ronaldo and we won both times and they were the hosts too. Opening game and the final. We were hated back then because the team played old school game style and especially the Brits were salty. Too bad we humbled them this year in similar style and in their own country.
When Football Becomes Art; Dennis Bergkamp.
Football is not just a game it’s an emotion.
I can see you’ve already done a reaction video for Maradona. Truly the GOAT and he did it in an era where he received little protection for ruthless defenders. What he did in the 86 wc and for Napoli can never be surpassed.
Some recommendations of players you should know Johan Cruyff one of the best of all time
Robert Lewandowski one of the best goalscorers of modern football
Thierry Henry arguably the greatest Premier league player ever,his highlights are incredible to watch
For us Brits, Europeans, and South Americans footbal isnt just a sport it's religion. And the stadium is our Church. We love our players clubs and countrys just as passionately as we love our own familys. This is not an exaggeration! Its fact!
Before the start of the premier league year when Leicester city won, their odds of winning was 5000:1. People thought they would get relegated that year instead.
Excellent reaction Cindy. Well done. ⚽
thanks dean!
Own goal as 'Goal of the Century'.
Football is super tribal, the clubs are ingrained into the towns and cities they come from
I was at Anfield for the 4-0 win over Barca. I doubt I'll ever witness a game like it ever again in my lifetime.
Thamk you very much for you "OBJETIC VISION" form SPAIN
I think with most Americans, most games is about going to see a specific person and having this and that signed but the real football⚽ is about going to enjoy the game, cherishing it, Living in the moment, the win the lose it's everything. Football is just beautiful
Club football is a lifestyle. National football teams are sometimes the country ( latter at least in netherlands, germany, uk, scotland, brazil, portugal, italy, south Korea, Nigeria, cameroon, argentinia, belgium, marocco) and growing in coutries like poland, tscheccia, croatia many asian countries. Oh i forgot turkiye.. both clubs are fanatic (not always that nice) and national team: really fantastically passionate
Clubs in europe and africa stay because they are the city. American sport teams leave cities and lose history...
Liverpool coming back against that Milan side 3-0 down at half time seemed impossible. But somehow they did it. A totally crazy night
True but beating the Worlf'd greatest team=Barcelona 4/0 after losing the first leg 3/0 takes some beating:)
You have to see the passion of argentiniang fans like boca juniors, and also the stunning coreography of Internazionale milano, wich sometimes I was part of it.
Congrats for 10k subs 🎉🎉🎉
THANKS MATTHEWWW
@itsbluereacts ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Football is about extraordinary goals but also fabulous goalkeeper saves.
Goalless games can be of high quality due to the actions stopped by goalkeepers who hold their opponents in check.
New subscriber as I love to see Americans react to and love football ! Great work Cindy !
thanks so much! welcome to TBC 🩵
It's the games the goals are scored in that make them special as a fan u can't describe it
You need to sit down and watch the full 2019 UCL semi final, both legs of Barcelona vs Liverpool. You’d love it.
I would say it's because of the pacing. Other sports have constant scoring, and there's not that much sports that can end in zero score for both. So this creates the sort of tension for who would break into the score first, and both are trying to score and stop the other. While in other sports, everyone has their chance to build up the score, it's expected to have some points.
This video is a great over view! If you enjoyed it I recommend you look into some of these events in more detail. With more context you will appreciate how incredible the moments are. Just a few that I recommend are:
Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona (4-3 aggregate)
Ajax 2-3 Tottenham (3-3 aggregate, Tottenham win on away goal rule)
Barcelona 6-1 PSG (6-5 aggregate)
Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea (2-3 aggregate)
Real Madrid 3-1 Man City (6-5 aggregate)
Champions league final 2005 AC Milan vs Liverpool
Champions league final 1999 Manchester United vs Bayern Munich
Leicester City winning the Premier League in 2016 (5000/1)
Manchester City 3-2 QPR (Man city winning the Premier League thanks to two goals in 90+ minutes)
You should follow the Emirates FA Cup channel if you aren't already. They've got loads of full games on there. The Manchester United v Liverpool from last season is a particular highlight. Loads of goals, loads of excitement and a last minute winner deep in extra time. My heart was in my mouth watching that one live. Could easily have gone either way
Goosebumps throughtout the whole video
🔥🫶🏻
5:36 that is not the best goal, but with some context that was one of the most beautifull moment in football history, thats why the spectators reaction was wild
Cindy if motivational/inspirational sports videos are your thing, then this 13 minute video is the Gold standard; the music, the variety of sports, everything is perfect. If I'm ever feeling flat or lacking mojo, I watch this and by the end I'm ready to take on the world. ua-cam.com/video/kE7D7qFayVg/v-deo.html
Football is beautiful cause it's has is lows and highs, sad moments and joys, it takes time and effort to score, patience and resilience to win, football is beautiful cause it's simple, football is complicated too. Football is popular cause football is like the life itself.
3:27 you can no longer do that nowdays without getting a yellow card. Sometimes players forgot they already got a yellow card which led to the second yellow and getting sent off as a result.
You should look at the game of Germany and Brazil in the 2014 world cup simifinals. EPIC Game!!!!
You have to react to the F2 FREESTYLERS. They were the OGs of the youtube football scene. Their videos with gerrard, courtois and their penalty team challenges are ICONIC
“Football is not a matter of life and death... it's much more important than that.”
― Bill Shankly
Garrincha had one bow-leg and one knock-knee.
You should react to football movies like "Goal! The Dream Begins" which was considered by SPORTBible as the "greatest football film of all time"." "Goal II: Living the Dream" is also a good one but stay away from the third movie.
"Escape to Victory" (sometimes with the title "Victory" or "V for Victory") is in my opinion the greatest football film ever. It stars Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and some of the world's best footballers like Pele, Bobby Moore, and Mike Sommerbee. This is a "must-watch" for any football lover.
It's worth it for you to come to the Clasico game between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, the most watched game after the World Cup final ⚽️
Well, Liverpool v Real Madrid Champions League Final is the most watched club game after the World Cup Final.
Football is basically a religion hence the passion
Look for Philip Lahm - Best defender of all Time - Its beautiful
kevin from scotland loved your vlog some classic goals
You need to watch "Zlatan Ibrahimovic Craziest skills ever - impossible goals" he got a different style to both Ronaldo and Messi, more acrobatic than both and with marshal arts background, so a power kicker. He just retired last year and is a ledgend of the sport although never quite managed to get to the same level as Ronaldo or Messi, but he was not far off. Zlatan got a really entertaining personality as well, loads of viral interviews on Late night shows etc
Zlatan scored what, in my opinion, was the most impossible, fantasy goal I've ever seen...I think Cindy showed it here...
Oh and, Cindy, check on videos of olímpico goals... They're always fan to watch... Of course they're more fun to watch as they happen, in R/L, because of the element of surprise, but still, you will love to check them out 🙂
@@fonsecorona yeah the bicycle kick against england was in here, but in the video I linked I think it gives a better impression of how hard it is to do something like that to someone who is not super into football cuz it has english commentary over it
3:32 react to Hugo Sanchez
If you ever have the chance, Cindy, go to a Liverpool game at Anfield... 🙂
Better yet go to Old Trafford and watch United!
You should try two channels 1) "O canto das torcidas" it's just crowds singing their football chants. One specially good is Raja Casablanca from Marrocos. Mind blowing; 2) Copa90 Derby Days. This is the best football content in internet by a margin. It's soooo good.
