An American Takes 'Football' Quizzes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2020
- I have built a following playing Football Manager, but how well does my ‘football’ knowledge stack up? Being American means my exposure to the game was limited at a young age, so I knew my historical knowledge would be terrible. The real question to answer was how many modern football/soccer questions would trip me up. Let’s be honest, I’m setting myself up for embarrassment.
American soccer knowledge is something I find myself explaining on stream all the time. I would like to emphasize the fact that understanding the game and those who play it is different. That is all, still a load of fun. Do I have to call it Football all the time now?
Much love,
The Zealand

Arsenal: worst good team
Leicester: best bad team
*he ain’t wrong*
Leicester aren't a bad team
spurs are worst good team in my opinion
@@user-vr2oy3mc4p yeah true
Daniel Adebowale im offended
@@isabellepizzuto388 because you support a very bad team
Been screaming Sheffield United for half the video 😂😂
When he got Stevenage I thought he would finaly get it
I knew I wasn't the only one 😭
SAME 🤣
Exactly
Somewhat an irony that I'm watching this video on wednesday.
Living in any country that loves Football means you will pick up so much more knowledge from the media, or friends and relatives also into the sport. I actually think you did pretty well considering
Plus you can just name towns near you and you've probably got a dozen lol
When it comes to supporting lower League sides (EFL Championship, League 1, League 2, etc.) what would be the best ways to pick a favorite club and be able to follow them on a regular basis?
@@tannerwilson4843 if you're English I'd say pick someone local, that way it's easy to find local pubs showing it or actually go the games. Assuming you're not though since Tanner is a much more common American name than British, I'd say championship teams are far easier to follow, particularly ones that have been in the prem recently. Teams like Aston Villa have a club app which was how my dad kept up to date with them when they went to the championship.
Another way is the football league show which used to be on after match of the day on the BBC although I'm not sure they make that currently. There's also Soccer AM on sky. Some clubs will broadcast their own games on Facebook.
You might also want to consider the geography if you're not local but think you'd want to go a game if you got a chance to come to England. If London's a city you'd love to visit, maybe pick Luton or QPR, for Liverpool you'd pick Tranmere Rovers.
There's also a lot of history at clubs so maybe find something you connect with. If you're a Man U fan then maybe you'd support Salford since it's now owned by 2010s era United players. Maybe you choose Wrexham since Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny have just bought it and are going to be producing a show about the club's ongoing progress. Maybe you watch Sunderland Til I Die and fall in love. Maybe an FM streamer you like has had a save with someone.

When he couldn't remember van dijk that hurt my brain
I forgot he was even a player that year. He literally was nominated because he won the CL.
He was nominated for being one of the best players all season and obviously it helps when you win something. You think Modric would have won the ballon d'or if Real Madrid didn't win the UCL?
I didnt know van dijk was more popular than salah
That's totally understandable, only real PL fanboys would place van Dijk on the 2nd spot.
He should be first so 😂
Him: Brazilian on Liverpool....
Me: Fabinho, Alisson?
Him: lOvReN
**geography has left the chat**
Sometimes my thoughts are not connected, like when I didn’t think of center backs the entire time
People don’t like MK dons because they’re the original Wimbledon club, which was moved to Milton Keynes (about 1.5h drive away from wimbledon). People call them franchise FC cause they’re apparently plastic fans
Apparently? They are plastic
Milton Keynes are officially the worst club in professional football (source: me, a fan of the REAL DONS (AFC Wimbledon)
Being a town that was only built about 40-odd years ago, it's only other real claims to fame are being the site of the first multiplex cinema to open in the UK (1985 I think, at a Mall they named The Point - which gave rise to the joke, "what's The Point in Milton Keynes?/Nobody knows"), and due to its (then modern) architecture, it was used as one of the shooting locations for Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, with it's newly built interiors and exteriors doubling for a lot of the scenes set in Metropolis.
Of course if the people of Wimbledon had actually cared enough to turn up to watch some games then the original Dons might still be there.
@@Veaseify There is no basis to that statement. Wimbledon had one of the biggest groups of fans when they were moved to MK
MK Dons are hated because they used to be Wimbledon (hence the "Dons" in both their names) who were a big team but a guy called Pete Winkleman bought them sold everything the club owned for his own profit and moved them to Milton Keynes which is the only time that's happened in England at least at a high level. But the reason it was unpopular is because it was 60 miles away from Wimbledon, it also went against the vote that the club had organised to gauge fan opinions. He also tried to keep MK Dons' name as Wimbledon as well as tried to keep the club's history even though its a different team and only recently acknowledged that MK Dons are a new team and gave all the trophies and medals back to AFC Wimbledon. The supporters of Wimbledon set up a team a couple of years after called AFC Wimbledon who started in the combined counties (9th tier) league and got promoted 6 times in 14 years much like the original Wimbledon's rise in the 70s and 80s. It was unpopular was because whoever moved a team to Milton Keynes was going to get all their facilities paid for by a group who wanted to grow Milton Keynes as it was a new city built in the 60s. The owner who moved their club to Milton Keynes also "allegedly" got substantial payments for it. They also got a place in the championship and a good team which they wouldn't have got if they started a team properly. There's even more to it but too much to write on here
The player one was hardest to watch😂
SERGIO RAMOS
French real madrid player, kinda bald
Meanwhile me: BENZEMAAA
Can we show a respect to this guy?
He's American with quite good football knowledge.
I can't name 10 american football players to save my life...
Yeah he did good when i named the 92 league clubs i nearly forgot Southampton lol i got to like 83 n time ran out, i tried naming the US states a few times n i always get mid 30s really difficult
Don't worry our top flight is not organized like any other country (Conferences and Playoffs no Pro/Rel) so out of our top teams (by popularity not always skill) very few are known, and the second division, USL Championship, is massive! It has something like 35 teams. And then tapers down from there. Very few Americans could tell you USL League One or Two teams. And you will only find MLS on FIFA where as most of us across the pond playing FIFA in manager mode have taken a League 2 team all the way to the EPL and UEFA Champions League. Heck they don't even put the concacaf champions league in the game! So most of us win the MLS cup then Jump over to Europe to play the rest of the game. But you talk to the average millennial gen x or gen z most of them know soccer and grew up playing. The biggest thing we need now is a competent academy system with coaches who know what they are doing.
@@gbroyce55 Inter Miami's academy looks quite good. And they just signed Blaise Matuidi who won the world cup with france last season. They definitley have good financial backing too, and DB knows what hes on abt when it coms to football. So maybe, just maybe, football is on the up in america
@@maariahussain4414 our youth system is so broken, so if he is able to fix it (like Jurgen claimed, and NYCFC, and LAFC, and so many others have tried) I will be thrilled.
But football is famous all over the world
American football its Just famous in the Us
"S"
Ooh yes! He's finally going to say Sheffield!
"... Stevenage is a club, right?"
Dutch guy on Liverpool: Wijnaldum lol
he is not wrong ...
Tottenham Hotspur was named in honor of Harry Hotspur, who was a war hero in the 1300's.
@@patrickhiggins5970 Percy Hotspur? The dude who died at the Battle of Shrewsbury? I just watched The King on Netflix...
Zealand : who is left
Me(screaming at my phone): SHEFFIELD UNITED
it's because you're thinking of the letter S when it start's with the sound SH. i was stuck at this quiz with sheffield too
klotzinatorinho no its cus im from sheffield and that was the first team i thought of
Somehow he didn't get Wednesday and only got Forest right at the end. Yet he got Dagenham near the start
Tbf Zealand, a lot of fans in England cannot name all the teams from the PL to the Conference
I'd say hardly any can off the top of their head
William Cox I did it and got roughly 100, my favourite team plays is York so I know a lot of the lower league teams
i got 79, my fav is birmingham city so i knew the championship very well.
I got exactly 100 my favourite teams are Everton Morecambe and Derby County so I know the PL,Championship and League Two pretty well
All you need to do is name a few big towns and you have got 100s
4:40 "S... Stevenage." I was literally screaming at my phone.
that one team... stonehenge!
The Stevenage representation so early on 😍
Up the Boro
yes boys
Gotta love when the UA-cam recommended actually works. This was great content 👍
Your knowledge is absolutely fine. I couldn’t list so many american football (NFL, AFL) players.
Thats because about 100 people outside north america watch american football
As a West Brom fan, I was screaming at my phone😂good work as always Zealand! Keep it up 👍🏻
As an Arsenal fan ''worst good team" sounds quite accurate.
West Bromwich Albion fan and Zealand subscriber here - I am mortally wounded at your oversight.
Your videos inspired me to buy my first FM (FM20) and try to get Champions League with my club. Seeing you do your own race to Champions League with the "Baggies" would be great as recompense 😏
I'm watching this half a year later.
You were pretty hard on yourself but I think you did pretty well. Most people who say they "love football", have no idea about football either, being limited by what is going on at their own club. I myself have no idea about Asian Football or what's going on in the MLS. The world is just too big and there is just too little time. Can't wait for the follow up!
Just a few days ago Robben joined Groningen in the Dutch Eredivisie
Fantastic content really enjoyed the different style of video love your tiwch btw
have you made a video explaining how you became a football/soccer fan yet? if not please do
As I'm born and bred there , the way you said Barnet!!
As a fellow American I applaud you for this and I had a few of the teams you didn't have but you had far more players than I could have guessed.
Theres a great quote about busquets
"watch the whole game and you'll never see him
Watch Busquets and you'll see the whole game"
I'm from Hereford, we're not just a cow, we have apples and drug crime too 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Glad to see you got Burton that quickly...there's hope for you yet!!
Not gonna lie, took me a few minutes to remember Sheffield. A shame, considering they had a good season.
Likewise ... give yourself credit ... There was literally no football for two months ...
This comment aged well.
tbf used to play sporcle in sixth form on subjects i was well informed about and as soon as you put it in a quiz format my mind goes blank
MK Dons was built off of Wimbledon being moved. This AFC Wimbledon was created and the two have a rivalry thanks to that.
Man don't feel bad. I just took an NFL quiz and only thought of 24 out of 32 teams before I completely blanked and I've watched the NFL nearly my entire life. I also took the same football clubs quiz you took and scored 20/20 EPL, 8/24 EFL, 2/24 League One.....and nothing else. You know you're football and as an American I am proud of you.
there are many people in the USA who love football. and zealand - even though you play a video game - I think you understand the sport. you have mad cred.
I think its interesting to have people not attached to the importance to clubs who have different ideas. while the mythology is a huge thing - change and pragmatism is what makes a club good.
Zealand, to be fair, you did pretty good. Being a football fan for over 23 years, I can only name all EPL and most Championship teams. Don’t know or care too much about the lower leagues. Team selection menu on PES/FIFA is your friend when it comes down to learning new leagues and new teams 😂
Don't care how old the video is now - you knew Ipswich. So pleased.
SERGIO RAMOS! BENZEMA! Come on! :D
I KNOW RIGHT !!!!! THEY BOTH HAD AN AMAZING SEASON ...
This is some great bait to wind up so many English football fans. I'm dying inside. 😫😂
Reckon I could get the top four tiers complete in 15-20 minutes. When I need to kill time at work, I often write lists like this.
You've actually done well. The timer causes so many issues. You'd have got 80+ in 20 minutes without the pressure of the timer. Good job Mr America.
People dislike MK Dons because when Wimbledon FC were in financial hardship in the early 2000s, they were brought out by a millionaire called Peter Winkelman. Winkelman then moved Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes (a city that has only existed since the 1960s and has no big football club of its own), which is over 50 miles away from Wimbledon. He then renamed 'Wimbledon FC' to 'MK Dons', and claimed all of the history and trophies that Wimbledon FC had ever won (including the the 1988 FA Cup) belonged rightly to MK Dons.
Obviously, Wimbledon fans (and essentially the entire footballing community) opposed this. Wimbledon fans created a new club called AFC Wimbledon, which they claim is the true and legitimate successor to Wimbledon FC. AFC Wimbledon were forced to enter the English football league pyramid at the 8th tier but very rapidly rose through the divisions and were back in the Football League proper within a decade. Both teams now play in the same division (League One).
I paused and went to do the quiz before watching the rest, our journeys were exactly the same basically 😂
Hello a big fan of your channel I was wondering how you set up a holiday mode with the staff . I’d like them to sign players while I’m away thanks
I am so overjoyed you got Stevenage so early
You did really well. I took the same quiz and ended up on 80. I found the minor clubs impossible to even guess.
As a Yeovil fan I'm quite flattered you'd heard of my team and almost none of the other non-league clubs
Love it Z!
Me and my mate always do the sporcle quizzes in college 😂 we managed to name every team down to the conference. Couldn't name every North & South team though. My mates a Wrexham season ticket holder so he knows more about the lower leagues.
Based on the limited knowledge of the Italian league, I think it would be a fun idea for you to play an Italian team if you do a separate YT series. The complexity of Serie C having 3 leagues and D(if you add the database) having 9 groups there are a huge amount of teams to choose from and considering the amount of teams and limited promotion spots it is a challenge to climb the leagues. You could play a team like Palermo to bring them back to Serie A, or teams with very limited history and there are plenty of options.
Do you ever do semi pro club saves, with like three figure budgets and no staff? I always wanted to see how people manage clubs like these.
Bloody love this guy! 🤩
Love youre content dude. Relaxed, funny and damn entertaining lol ps just naming english towns and cities is kinda cheating lol
As a Walsall fan i was partially surprised when you said you knew us, even worse when you said Southall was basically your answer as Walsall lol
When you start Ultimate Team in FIFA, Walsall is actually one of the first crests you get stuck with
Nottingham Forrest.... went for a "double R" first time? Well played.
From what my friend tells me, Wimbledon FC were bought by new owners that relocated their club in Milton Keynes and changed their name to MK Dons. A standard practice for Franchise based sport but Wimbledon was a historic club founded 100 years before it was moved. A consortium founded AFC Wimbledon and the Dons rivalry began. (Wimbledon's nickname has always been the Dons hence MK Dons name)
Day one of asking Zealand to say he loves Gary Barlow in a video
Been yelling Ramos at the screen so loudly my parents walked in to make sure I was ok😂
Should start a petition to pronounce these teams the Zealand way. Wycombe was a classic 😂
The owner of MK Dons bought Wimbledon (the original one) and moved it to a different part of the country, Milton Keynes (hence the name Milton Keynes Dons). This happens often in US franchise sport but in football, it is absolute sacrilege. The Wimbledon fans then founded AFC Wimbledon as a "phoenix" club, starting at the very bottom of the league ladder and are now in league one
I’m actually surprised you knew that some of the teams were in Wales😂💪🏼
Afaik, in the early 2000s afc Wimbledon team was rebranded as mk dons or smth like that and they moved the team to milton Keynes while Wimbledon had to start all over again. Nowadays I think both ate in league 1 and we have a new derby
Last time i was this early, this was still FM Base
Lol so you were early like last week
I tried the last quiz, I got 72/100. The ones I missed were Eriksen, Marcelo, Koulibaly, Ederson, De Ligt, Courtois, Sane, Chiellini, Icardi, Fernandinho, Alcantara, Walker, Joao Felix, Dembele Niguez, Sandro, Asensio, Benzema(there you go), Lucas Hernandez, Douglas Costa, David neres, Vardy, Torriera, Robertson, Pjanic, Jovic, Alonso, and Filipe Luis
(yay someone mention Asensio like what I usually does)
Who is the spain in Real Madrid?
Sergio Ramos is staring right back at you....
MK Dons owners effectively bought a club previously called Wimbledon AFC, and moved it to Milton Keynes, like the Baltimore Colts.
Americans be like: Sergio Romose
Thank you for the painful reminder that Blackpool are still in League One, but kudos for remembering us!
MK Dons (my local) were formed in 2004 from the original WimbleDON team, so many people hate them for that reason. AFC Wimbledon was founded by the fans as investors.
The secret is, a lot of people with good football trivia in the UK get their knowledge from FM!
The US actually has a long tradition in football, dating back to the 19th century. In 1930, they were among the 13 countries to take part in the first World Cup and reached the semi-finals after winning their group, beating both Paraguay and Belgium 3-0 to get maximum points in their group. So, I'd say the US has a more respectable football tradition that people give it credit, it's just that other sports have been overshadowing it. I have the theory that the US will be the first non-European non-South American country to win the World Cup, they already did it several times in women's football, once they get rid of the weird franchise system and adopt a competitive model with promotion/relegation and once football becomes a sport for everyone regardless of income.
FC United are 5 minutes drive from my house. I do parking lessons on their carpark with my instructor lol
I expected more brother 😂😂
Your videos redeem you though 😀
I'll give credit where credit is due... You know a lot more about football then i know about American Rugby
I feel this is pretty easy if you just know places. Granted after the conference it gets tricky
"They're all in Wales! ... Lincoln" 10/10 editing
As someone born and raised in Lincolnshire, I appreciate him getting Lincoln at all even if some of my worst memories of Lincoln oddly enough happened in Wales (Play-off failures at the then Millennium Stadium)
[I suspect Z knows Lincoln mostly because of the disproportionate amount of FM creators from the county]
Buzzing you got Lincoln. Up the Imps❤️
I did a Yeovil run as well like a decade ago in FIFA. Thumbs up!
Yea! From League 2 to Premier League
@@FranzFridl Good times.
As an AFC Wimbledon fan I'm obviously biased but here we go. Basically, Wimbledon FC pulled a Cleveland Browns and packed up in the middle of the night and moved like 60 miles down the road to Milton Keynes to become the MK Dons. Wimbledon fans got mad, made a new team called AFC Wimbledon, and climbed up the ranks to now play in League One.
You give Bob Bradley a run for his money that's for sure
If Zealand got your club, you support a proper club
MK Dons were originally based in Wimbledon and were bought and moved to Milton Keynes, most fans weren't happy with this as they didn't want to see the same happen to their club. AFC Wibledon were then formed and had to climb from non-league. Probably kinda strage to think about if you are an American since a lot of franchises move about all the time.
Could you do a guide to B teams in portugal spain and germany? I sign wonderkids from south america and want to train them with my first team but play them in my B team. Only some of them can do this at the same time. How do i best use a B team?
Robben is coming back to FC Groningen!!
As an Arsenal fan, I was almost offended when you said "worst good team"
... but its completely forgiven for forgetting Tottenham until after a dozen other clubs :D lmfao hahaha
We are the worst good team. It's so damn accurate :D #COYG
MK Dons were disliked because of their controversial origin. Although common in the US, the concept of franchising is reviled here, and that's basically what happened. The short version is that an owner bought a long-established, historic club (Wimbledon), and moved it to Milton Keynes, some 80 miles away. This is where the "Dons" part of their name comes from. They spent a long time claiming they were a continuation of the same team, which was basically rejected by all Wimbledon and other English fans, who viewed them as a new team that had bought their way into the league and destroyed Wimbledon FC.
A completely new club, AFC Wimbledon, was formed in Wimbledon, and rose through the ranks quickly to become a league team. Eventually MK Dons stopped claiming Wimbledon's history (including the FA Cup win of 1988 over Liverpool), which went a little way to building goodwill, but the fact that the relocation was allowed, and the way everything was handled, has still left them something of a pariah team, known as Franchise FC, pl. To give an example of how this still manifests itself, AFC Wimbledon got in trouble with the FA for referring to MK Dons as Milton Keynes, rather than by their actual name of MK Dons.
DEFENDERS AND GOALKEEPERS - dont get enough credit, all about attackers
People don't like MK Dons because they "formed" when Wimbledon were in financial struggle and the owner moved the club from Wimbledon in London to Milton Keynes, basically taking the club from the fans. The fans grouped together to form AFC Wimbledon
actionally good display
Hello, I’m the Bradford fan who was screaming at my phone the whole time
The franchise currently plying its trade in Milton Keynes is disliked because they stole Wimbledon from its home. In the UK franchising clubs is not common, so it was seen as ripping the club out from the heart of the football community. Any town in England would be furious if it happened to their team, so we all hate on MK so harshly as a demonstration of how bad an idea moving our teams is.
Credit to the Wimbledon FC fans though, created their own fan owned club and managed to get it to the level that MK are at. A win for community mindedness over wealthy people deciding they can change our game to suit them.
Philthephagocyte also honestly I don’t even live in the UK, but my fellow AFC Wimbledon fan friends are just generally great
@@DavidRosstheawesome I have a huge respect for the club, the fans are really something quite special.
People in the UK forget exeter city exist so props to you 👍 take ya to a game if you ever end up lost of enough (the uk to alot of people stops past bristol and Southampton)
Decent effort 👍🏻 in that time scale
He’s killing it! I got 39....but I got the Premier League, lol....and I got forest! still new to football - 3 years now I guess? Following the bundesliga and laliga too....
I spoke to Jerry Gill, the Bath City manager the other day on the phone! My company was doing some work for him.
Cheltenham legend
3:46 Yes it did suck. It sucks even worse when in October you loose your first game and only Liverpool go longer without loosing a game and top till November. Then fail to win a game for 2 months but still remain in the top 3. Regain the top spot in January and then drop to 10th 9 games later. We finished 11th overall after the league was suspended the lowest league finish since 1953. With the impact covid has had on the lower leagues I don't see us getting back into the championship for a very long time.
So funny you couldn't think of VVD from Liverpool
People don't like MK Dones because they are formally Wimbledon, they took the club from London, rebranded them, moved them miles away to Milton Keynes and destroyed a very historic club, have a massive ground with virtually no fans
Id have been mire than happy for you to have just forgotten about leeds
wouldn't blame you for not knowing sheffield united, im from here and i've barely heard of em
