I was actually there in the shopping centre, I was 22 years old at the time going to a university in Bahrain and I heard ronaldinho was in town and that he was making an appearance at a mall.. I got into my car, my friends with me, skipped all my classes and went to said mall 4 hours before the players were supposed to arrive and it was already mental. I was so excited that day because I have never seen a celebrity before that day and being able to see one of my childhood dreams was absolutely amazing.. so ronaldinho arrives and to my surprise Maradona was walking behind him.. imagine the way I looked, a stocky 6ft2" 22 year old Male totally fangirling over a man who was the reason I loved football.. The thing I remember the most that day was after the players finished the press conference they started signing football's and shooting them to the crowd.. ronaldinho signed the first ball and shot it straight, signed the second and shot it to the left, signed the third and starting looking around the top floor where I was standing, we locked eyes and he shot the ball straight at me, I jumped the highest jump I ever jumped in my 25 years of life and the ball actually hit the tip of my finger tips but I couldn't catch it and I couldn't run for the ball since it was super crowded.. the ball hit a man who was walking by and he picked it up and left with it.. I still hate that man to this day That day was a day I will never forget for as long as I live and thank you for reminding me how awesome of an experience that was
Rafe really makes this seem like the dream job of any football fan. Just traveling for free around the world, meeting famous players and doing promos for FIFA.
@@hadif5443 that is why he said phil offended whole asia as he referred only Chinese using vivo, but it's whole asia who is other than Chinese were using vivo too
I love doing mascot things for the little kids but I sadly only get to do it once a year and it's always in the summer in a hot hot field Loved getting to see how professional mascots are done!
That's amazing man! And I do hope the costume designers actually watch this so they can come up with something that doesnt kill a person inside the costume. Thank God you had a good resistance to the humidity and the heat, but just imagine if someone else didn't have the same capacity, that's messed up. Good on you Phil mate
I used to live in Moscow in 2018 and I moved to London right after the world cup. I managed to go to Denmark vs France (which was the only 0-0 in the whole tournament) but I also managed to see Russia vs Spain, which was really fun. I actually saw you in real life then!
Phil you are goated man🐐. You have solemnly the guts to roast the youtuber who beat Logan Paul. Love you for the hardwork you put❤. Sidemen Army let's get Phil a gold plaque before 2021! Come on Sidemen army he deserves it!
I’m from Bahrain 🇧🇭 and I still remember the day I saw maradona and Ronaldinho in Seef mall (shopping mall). I still remember the crowd, they were so mental and crazy they were pushing me all around the crowd. I got lost in the middle of the crowd with my friend but we found the rest of the group. I was hoping for a signature from the footballers but there were too many people. So that’s my story :)
Michael M but he literally has a phone from them, walked up on stage (which does not look fake at all), has a medal/ coin from them and at the end he had photos of him without the mask on (which yet again do not look photoshopped)
GUYS I AM GASSED!!! I CAN NOT BELIVE I HAVE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! I WAS THERE IN 2018 IN BAHRAIN IN SEEF MALL, I GOT TO SIDE HUG RONALDHINIO UNTIL A GUARD PUSHED ME AND FUCKING TAKE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! OMG I NEVER KNEW THIS UNTIL TODAY LMAOOO
I can’t believe you came to bahrain!! It’s my home country and it’s amazing you were here, I also can’t believe I actually met Ronaldinho at the hotel!
no matter what his name is, i’m calling him phil
Omg 😂
Yup
I clicked this video because I thought bloody hell he looks like Phil

Like if you agree
Stfu like beggar

Phil should be the ref
Yes ye sy yes eyeysysyyeyeysysysyys
They having a charity match this year?
My dad was a costume mascot, haven’t seen him in years, actually wait a second, Phil are you my dad?
So was Ethan's dad
Tom Cooney mmm maybe that's why none of the sidemen dare to talk back to Phil
@Jasper Go He's so good that it's not even hide and seek.. It's just hide
PHILL
nah he is ethan's dad
Zabivaka: exists
rule34 artists: ima end this whole man's carreer
this mans life is way more interesting than the whole sidemen members
Yep
Yep
It would be crazy if he joined the Sidemen and there would be "The adventures of Babatunde and Phil"

PHIL IS WAY TOO UNDERRATED🥺

@@denz7128 Phil Jonesta
3:50 “this guy” is one of the best fullbacks to ever play. He’s called Cafu
Lmaoo and curly hair guy is valderama idk if i even spelt it correctly
Samu Vilppola spelt correctly
Itz Dylann lol it wasn’t it’s spelled Valderrama with two Rs
@@samuvilppola5352 he was prlly been sarcastic
Best job ever! Free holidays, food, meeting famous people, having fun and getting paid a ton
All at the expense of potentially dying of heat stroke, but worth it!
The kid being dragged at 7:19 😂😂😂
Lol i saw it to bro 😂😂
When you’re from Colombia and Phil calls your countries icon “curly hair dude”
*angry coffee noise*
Exactly smh. Carlos Valderrama is a beast. Also Rene and Ibarbo.
Lol
Higuita and valderrama are legends but ibarbo is just good on fifa 15
@Gaurav Goel it doesn't because it didn't perform for his country or at club level
Columbia*
‘This guy’ is Cafu, easily the best fullback to ever step on the pitch
Philib lahm, dani alves, roberto carlos, zanetti
Roasting Guy nah Cafu beats them
If you count maldini as a full back then he would be the best
ali kha Lahm is the best g
Roasting Guy Maicon

I couldn’t believe I was watching Phil all those times during World Cup
Lol same never would have guessed it

You've been closer to the world cup then Messi and cr7
Messi went to the final actually and lost 1-0 in extra time 😂

@@louisfentiman661 You're so toxic lmao
Mat I know 🤣. Its just when i see people that cant take a joke just because its about someone/something they like.
Who knew being a World Cup mascot would be this fun and interesting!
did he just call Cafu "this guy" and Valderrama "the curly hair guy"? fair play.
The curly hair dude*
Rafe really makes this seem like the dream job of any football fan. Just traveling for free around the world, meeting famous players and doing promos for FIFA.
Omg Phil was surrounded by a criminal and a drug addict, glad you came out of there nicely (I mean Ronaldinho and Maradona)
2:16 that’s fake
Josh Leader ok your jealous
Josh Leader he still met them
More like Ronaldino
Don't you mean ronaldino
8:46 and that's where Corona started
The chinese man ate a bat
“This crappy Chinese phone company”
Damn phil u just offended whole asia
Also said the Bahrain stadium was smaller then a cereal box, damn Phil
Vivo may be stalking us but is actually a really good phone company.
Are you an idiot bruh.
You people are dumb saying Asia are only chinese smh
There are other people to you..
@@hadif5443 that is why he said phil offended whole asia as he referred only Chinese using vivo, but it's whole asia who is other than Chinese were using vivo too
@@muhammadafifjazimin4433No one rlly uses vivo in asia only in china and where do you that that info from?
This is pretty sick man. Thanks for vlogging it, really enjoyed it brother
Thanks mate
Really cool story rafe! Would love to hear more about your acting experiences in future videos.
His name is Phil
Congratulations bro 👏 You meet football legends/icons, you were living the dream of many childs like me.
Triggered me when he called Cafu “this guy” and didn’t know Valderrama
Ngl I think he was joking
He said he wasnt a football fan
It’s not that serious bto he’s just not a football fan
He doesn't care about football

As a person who has been in a mascot costume with fur for some school events, i highly relate to this.
This is not rafe, this is phil

Shush the lo of ye
This guys is really good at playing characters which makes him entertaining
who knew the sidemen bully was so special
This was actually a really entertaining video, you are a really good story teller

Thanks bro - appreciate that!
Can’t believe that angry Phil was this friendly fox
When he pulled out the gifts and medal that sealed the job. Props to Phil!
At least Phil brought something back to the UK,unlike the England Team
Fun fact, "the curly hair dude" is El Pive, a Colombian Legend from the 90's!
I thought Zabivaka was pretty damn cool. Liked the design, it looked cute and your interacting with the crowd was always great.
Jheeze, i never knew legends were in my country, such a small country. Bahrain 🇧🇭 ❤️❤️
Being a mascot is the only time you can be a furry without getting judged:)
True
RIP MARADONA 🙏 ⚰
Yes rip
RIP Nearly 1 year later

I would never expect him to be a mascot
I watched one of his vids about 30 mins ago, I came back to watch this vid and he's gained 2k subs
My boy phil from being a mascot to being a teacher
Didn't expect behind a cute lovable mascot lies a man that can roast you in any ways possible
When you see the thumbnail you know that u said
Is that phill
He's like a Dad telling a Story about his Past Jobs To His Children. Its really entertaining
I guess you could say you've been inside Zabivaka...
Inside the costume
Ty for clarification
Dude that’s the sickest story I’ve heard in awhile!
Imagine that The Sidemen are two degrees of separation from Maradona
Bro you are so amazing and I had no clue all this time,I feel so bad 😫
How isn’t he over 1 million subs
Thanks mate
This is the first video I have found interesting and actually watched the full thing lol. Great video💕
the only youtuber that can save our quarantine🤣💗

Thank you, that's properly nice of you

I’m from Bahrain 🇧🇭 and I still remember the day I saw maradona and Ronaldinho in Seef mall (shopping mall). I still remember the crowd, they were so mental and crazy they were pushing me all around the crowd. I got lost in the middle of the crowd with my friend but we found the rest of the group. I was hoping for a signature from the footballers but there were too many people. So that’s my story :)
Great video!!
I’m Bahraini and I found my self in the shopping center since I was there with my cousins. It’s called Seef mall btw
See I'm disappointed, I thought his name was actually Phil 😢
Phils smile is the best thing
I cant decide if its fake or real😂😂
Edit: at the end of the video it looks real but still cant decide ffs😂😂
Yeah I reckon it’s real
Obviously it’s fake...
Michael M but he literally has a phone from them, walked up on stage (which does not look fake at all), has a medal/ coin from them and at the end he had photos of him without the mask on (which yet again do not look photoshopped)
We all know how good Rafa is good at editing too...
Michael M yeah but what about the gifts, you can’t just buy them (and also why do you keep putting “...” at the end of every sentence??)
You’re videos are actually sick 👍🏻
Great video man
Imagine just casually going down for breakfast and being joined by Ronaldinho and Maradona.
Keep up the good work😂
Phil shouting at the sidemen is just Phil blowing some steam off from the heat of inside the mascot.
How did the sidemen find you
He was a actor that was looking for a job and the sideman pick him up
PLEASE KILL ME! I WISH TO DIE! Well now he is an icon
Phil you are a fucking legend not just because you had the opportunity to do this but because you have the rights to bully the Sidemen
The one dislike is fifa
Ronaldino sure was a heck of a footballer 😂😂😂
GUYS I AM GASSED!!! I CAN NOT BELIVE I HAVE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! I WAS THERE IN 2018 IN BAHRAIN IN SEEF MALL, I GOT TO SIDE HUG RONALDHINIO UNTIL A GUARD PUSHED ME AND FUCKING TAKE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!!
OMG I NEVER KNEW THIS UNTIL TODAY LMAOOO
You would be a great children’s entertainer, you have the voice and energy for it
No wonder it was so popular.
Came up in on my recommended, really enjoyed the video you’ve got a new subscriber!
“PHILLLL!!”- Behzinga after gettin angry at Phil
Phil called vivo crappy 😂 all of the Asians will go for u🤣 luv u man
Why was this uploaded 2 years after the World Cup? I might have accepted Phil bullying the sidemen if I would have known and respected him so much
I hate how good his hair looks. I'm totally jealous
So he’s a furry??
😂 loved the vid btw
Except he gets paid 😳😎
HotAnimeGirl 69 its a joke btw
Tbh Rafe Young does sound like something you'd name a wolf.
Comfirmed Phil is a furry.
Every time I hear, "But." I immediately think something bad is about to happen.
Hi Phil
HI!
I can’t believe you came to bahrain!! It’s my home country and it’s amazing you were here, I also can’t believe I actually met Ronaldinho at the hotel!
This is actually mad
I love how he transitions from Phil the angry man to a happy little man
So you’re telling me Phil is a furry and I’m just now finding this out?
Honestly love the videos you put out, they make my day, keep it up mate 💯
So close to 100k
The 2018 world cup was the most hyped one and it was worth the hype.
Wait this guy isn’t called Phil?... oh well, he’s Phil now
People always disregard the mascots. They are just as an important part of the team as anyone else! They keep the hype up!
