The first thing to get into your head is that the concept of 'plays' which all Americans seem to refer to, barely exists in football (and most other world sports). The 'play' is a peculiarly American thing, where the game is constantly interrupted and a manager tells the players where to run for the next five seconds of a pre-choreographed training ground routine, before the game stops again for a prolonged period and the whole tedious process starts again. Football is a much more fluid game where the players make the decisions as the game evolves around them - there may be some broad strategies that they have in mind at the outset of the game, and different players have differing roles within a general structure but once the whistle blows to start the game, it's down to the players to make decisions on the hoof. Yes, there are a few occasions when a foul has been committed near the opponents goal, where a 'set piece' (rehearsed move) is implemented, but if the ball has been in play for many minutes before a goal is scored, it's unreasonable to describe that as a 'play', because every run by every player during that phase of play is not pre-ordained. Soccer players are allowed (and encouraged) to think for themselves!!
That is a great way to explain it. Thanks. It makes me think of it in a new way and makes much more sense. You are right. Most sports I watch are start and stop. Hmmmm very interesting.
Responses to all of your questions - 1. 0:42 The 'buzzing horns' are called "Vuvuzelas" and they were only really seen during the 2010 South Africa World cup. 2. 2:05 When people say 'Bend it like Beckham'. David Beckham was an English footballer who was great at free kicks (static shots resultant of a foul) and it usually refers to when a player bends the ball from left to right or vice versa. In the clip at 2:25, it instead bends up to down. 3. 3:25 Yes he's a football player, he's just short 😭🙏 4. 3:48 They are in the line to block the goalkeeper's view 5. 5:12 the argentinian player didn't pass the ball to the Pavard, the one who scored, it was a deflection 6. in 6:00, it's a remarkable goal because usually the player would try and get it into the clump of other players for them to score, so the goalkeeper didn't expect him to score 7. 6:41 is an amazing goal because again, usually the player would try and get it into the clump of other players for them to score AND it was SO far out that to score from there and put that much power on it is crazy 8. 9:08, yes it was intended and it does deserve your no.1 9. 10:20, it's mostly called a bicycle kick, but you can also call it an overhead kick 10. 11:06 they passed it to one another 6 times 11. 12:28 No it (scorpion kicks) are not common things, that's why they're so insane, and they probably don't practice that 12. 14:36 Cristiano Ronaldo is now 40, so he is playing in the Saudi league (a lower league) for Al Nassr, but in that clip he played for the best team in the world at the time, Real Madrid. 13. 16:11 The goalkeeper is trying to clear the ball out, but he mistimes it and doesn't get it - a stupid mistake 14. 16:40 This was in 1986 Support Arsenal FC in the English Premier League, we are in contention for the title this season and have a young squad!
Thank you for all that info. It is a lot to take in right now this helps a ton. It's going to take a while to get a hang of all this but it will be a fun journey I think. You guys are helping more than I ever expected. This is great! Thank you.
Goal keepers sometimes rush out to get to the ball first and clear it before the attacking striker gets to it or to close down the angle of attack for the striker. If he stays put on his goal line and lets the striker take control of the ball, the chances of stopping the attack is greatly reduced.
Bending a well struck ball, whether on the volley, a free kick, or natural run of play, is similar to shaping a golf shot. If the foot strikes the ball from outside the body's framework to the body's centerline ("outside of the boot" in football vernacular) the flight of the ball will bend outward. This is similar to a slice or fade in golf, depending on the severity of the angle. If the foot makes contact from centerline outward ("inside the boot"), it will do the opposite. Golf analogy - a hook or draw, depending on the severity of the angle of contact. Top spin can be created by striking the ball from midline up. This will create a dipping effect. Bottom spin is created by striking from midline down. It's basic physics and relatively easy to understand - but extremely difficult to execute.
4:10 Those players were in the wall because when the free kick is taken, they run from the wall and the defenders have to follow them so it creates a gap in the wall. They're not there to block the shot
the first second I heard the vuvuzela I got a horrible flashback 🤣 watching the world cup was horrible because every game had that buzzing noise. from what I know, some leagues/countries banned them after the world cup and most regular football fans (there's a huge different between club fans and fans of the national teams) hated them as well
The other thing is football doesn't have plays plays a small individual arranged and organised events in a stop and start game. Footballs are continuous flowing dance with 11 partners and sometimes special things happen. We do have set pieces though.
Know I'm late to the party but the South African instrument is a vuvuzela and they use them because we have 13 official languages in our country. Considering almost all are spoken in the townships is easier to make noise then to try find a language everyone can speak.
4:57 he was walking around without celebrating because he scored against his former team. There's a non-written rule in football where u dont usually celebrate when you score against your former team, especially if you did good while playing for them. It's like a way to pay respect to the Team but also to the fans
@@REZZIKFC The guy who headed the ball inbetween two opponents, making them crash into eachother. I remember the goal very well since it was against my favorite team! Kaka was a Brazilian player who was the best player in the world for a year or so, before getting lots of injuries and becoming a shadow of his former self.
The dude in the white doesn't touch the ball he tries to but it misses him. He didn't assist the other team he's just trying to get something on the ball as it comes across in that sort of instance you don't want to knock it straight out in front of the goal because there's most likely going to be somebody there to hit it it does happen sometimes way it knocks to the defender or rather the attacker but in this instance you can't really blame that defender it wasn't the sort of angular he could get a lot on the ball.
The sad thing about football footage on youtube is that due to copyright only kinda ass quality clips remain a lot of the time, especially if youre outside of europe. A lot of these clips have been copied over and over by different uploaders nad clippers and been degraded by youtubes compression. It doesnt matter that the video says its in 1080p because unfortunately its the footage itself that we dont have high quality versions of due to copyright.
And you said absolutely nothing about van Basten's goal which was one of the most incredible volleys in history of football crazy. Not a word not a single word
Free kicks at goal tend to use deception. The two attacking players in the defensive wall , would duck when the kick is taken . Also you see two players ready to take the free kick, and the goalie needs to guess which one.
goals are what most people usually watch when starting to get into football, but I really think you should also check out some goalkeeping compilations. while scoring goals is impressive, some saves made by goalkeepers are also super impressive and the fact they literally throw themselves in front of oncoming balls that go 60 mph or more, is sometimes more impressive to me than some of these trick shots. and the backkicks quite some goals were scored with in this video is not super common; hence why they are considered 'legendary' goals. more often than not you see players fail at it (which is quite funny to watch tbh)
@@REZZIKFC A friend of mine broke his arm saving a shot once, albeit from quite close range. There's a sort of gentleman's agreement that you go for placement rather than power once you get within the penalty area to avoid injuring the poor bastard in goal(who nine times outta ten is there involuntarily if you're playing casually).
Bear in mind that this title isn't really correct because it's some of the most legendary goals that have happened in the last 20 years or so when the TV quality is quite good but there's so many amazing goals that aren't on here and that's only from my country never mind the amazing goals from other countries and other leagues so this is just a selection of good goals but there are many others.
Yeah its comparable to being a batter in baseball. A knuckleball is called the same thing in both sports. But here the ball is bigger slower and lighter causing extreme wobbles if the player can hit the ball so it gets virtually no spin. That and the plate is 8x24 ft in dimension
The keeper has to come out, this is something americans struggle with. The net is way way bigger than you think and sitting in the net leaves most of it open, you come out to close the angel to give you a better chance of saving a shot and to try and buy time for the defence to catch up, also the keeper can come out to act like a psudo defender to pass to in more attacking playstyles, also the keeper can sprint out to clear the ball before the attacker gets to it which is what happens in the clip at 16:20, the keeper heads the ball away, literally no one could have expected zlatan to be in a position to jump into the air and kick the ball backwards at a perfect arc to go over the keeper and defenders and into the goal, its absolutely 1 in a million.
The only mistake the goalie made was that he mistimed his jump a bit, so his header went mostly straight up in the air, but as you say, Zlatan is one of very few players to attempt that bicycle kick, and one of even fewer who could pull it off. That was his fourth goal of the game in a 4-2 win against the country who always underrated him btw, which makes it pretty funny to me.
3:30 he looks smaller haha...but you can play this sport with any height. I've seen players that are like 5' and others almost like 7'. Different bodies give different abilities, that's something really nice about this sport, its for everybody 3:57 theyre 1)blocking the goalkeeper view, 2)impeding the other team to move there. 3)the shot could have gone straight, right to his teammates so they do a header or just move out of the way of the ball 4)the teammates could run on certain direction to atract the oposite defenders and open space for shooting 6:04 how did that go in? Because he's Ronaldinho, that's why heheheh 6:55 they all look similar...but it's rare to watch those kind of goals, it's extremely hard and you gotta watch lots of matches to get to see one of those live. It's not common, it's very very hard
@@MVREZZIKif there's another world Cup on the continent of Africa, I imagine these will make another appearance. It basically ruined an entire world Cup for people outside of Africa
@@MVREZZIK In case you're not joking, be warned that they're genuinely dangerous; the decibel count can reach levels that cause permanent hearing damage, and the fact that they're not banned world-wide is insane to me.
enjoyed watching this to give context to the goal at 10:05 - the guy "he puts on pause" great description btw, is Jerome Boateng and at the time perhaps the best defender in the world. That Messi guy is pretty decent
@@REZZIKFC Also, you're perfectly justified in thinking it looked funny; he was memed into oblivion at the time, and rightfully so. To be fair, Messi is a minimalistic genius at dribbling, and instead of fancy tricks he just has perfect control and timing, moving the ball just when the defender is off-balance and can't react in time. Boateng's reaction is what you get when you try to force your body to do something it is in no position to do, and most of us are fortunate enough to have those embarrassing moments in private, not in front of millions of viewers! 😄
A goalkeeper goes further from the goal to make it smaller. Most players stop at 34/35. Ronaldo is playing in the sandbox at al nassr he is 39. Messi plays in the us so if you ever want to watch him play now is your change.
@@REZZIKFC That's a great one, and feel free to mute the music, cuz we've all seen that video so many times that we could do with a break from that music! Also, if he looks a bit chunky in a couple of the clips, those are the ones from a charity game after he retired, which for some reason is in there alongside clips mainly from a couple of seasons in his absolute prime, and can be left out of the video.
Yeah, I can't bear to watch any kind of footage from that particular world cup for more than a minute before losing my mind. Who the hell thought that the thing football needed was a nonstop buzzing noise louder than everything else in the stadium combined?
Some of these goals are just important, not best. Nowadays I actually like Americans calling it soccer. Also a couple of goals came because they also surprised the goalie. For example Ronaldinho and Suarez goals. And Van Persie's too.
Those flick goals you like are mostly flukes, basically just trying to get any sort of touch on the ball to deflect it towards goal, but they look wonderful when it works out.
@@REZZIKFC Calling it a fluke is unfair; I've scored a few similar goals in my time(at much closer distance, both from the passer and to the goal), and I was definitely consciously trying to get the connection I got, so I have no doubt world-class professional footballers meant to do what you saw them do. I will agree that none of them would have chosen that kind of finish if an easier one was an option, and that most players couldn't actually pull it off consistently, but it's no fluke.
You stopped the video right on the most famous goal of the last 50 years, when Diego Maradona ran three quarters of the pitch, dodging every opposing player including the goalkeeper, until he scored.
@@REZZIKFC I don't blame you, drives me crazy when that happens while there's still important stuff to come in the video. The goal is insane though; Maradona dribbles past half the English team to score the most iconic goal in World Cup history, and in the same game manages to also pull off the most iconic piece of cheating in World Cup history by scoring with his hand and somehow conning the referee into thinking a 5'5" player managed to win a header against a goalkeeper who is allowed to use his arms to reach the ball in the air! 😄
Im all behind you learning, great stuff. But i nearly spit my coffee out when you get to Diego Maradona's 1986 literally voted 'Goal of the Century' and casually go, 'oh this looks old, well i think that'll do'.... nooooo lol Also, you should follow Liverpool F.C. Great history, comebacks, successes, failures, players, managers & devestating tragedy that you could research & react to for your channel. Keep up the good work 😊👍🏼
Be sure to search the goal out. Maradona v England 1986 World Cup will bring it up. If you find extended highlights, that game also has one ofvthe most controversial goals ever. The Infamous 'Hand of God'. Enjoy 😊 @REZZIKFC
@@REZZIKFC That one-touch passing move where you replayed it to count the passes is one of the most famous example of passing at the highest level. Most goals are team goals to some extent, and the best ones are ones where 3 or more players in a row produce a flawless action, for example a pass from midfield that slides between two defenders to find a teammate out wide who "bends it like Beckham" into the area in front of the goal where a third teammate meets the ball in mid-air with his head(usually) or whatever other bodypart he can reach the ball with and scores. I remember my amateur level team trying to practice this type of goal against a goalkeeper with no defenders, and after half an hour of scoring every tenth attempt(if even that) we decided it'd be much easier to just try to dribble past opponents who were as bad as us than trying to score proper goals. 😄
Watch the best league in the world, the ones who invented football the way we know it today, that means Premier League. Watch some recent matches between the best ones, let's say Liverpool against Manchester City. Yes, there are 2 pro teams in Manchester. Manchester United isn't the best one anymore though, they were some time. You won't be disappointed by them. I like how some of the Spanish league (it's called La Liga - you pronounce it like you would in Spanish language) teams play too. You can watch Real Madrid against Barcelona. That's a classic team rivalry in football.
love the video, the original video have great clips, unfortunately 33 is nowhere near enough to show half of all the legendary, unforgettable, almost impossible, ... goals but in that case the (original) would be at least an hour long
They could have gotten more unique goals in there if they'd refrained from showing multiple goals that were the same skill, like bicycle kicks. If you show the Giroud scorpion kick you don't need to also show the Zlatan one; I'd rather they show him hockey-tackling a defender out of the way and then backheeling it in or some other uniquely Zlatan-esque goal.
3:57 several possibilities - for one they are blocking the sight of the Goalie additionally, they know whats coming, freekicks are often rehearsed moves, sometimes they duck so the shot goes over for example or in this case they turn and go for a possible "rebound" avoiding an off side position. The protecting hand in front of the chest is to avoid getting the win kicked out of you, imagine getting a shot from a pro on the solarus plexus
You also ended at the end by not watching the number one goal which was by Diego Maradona arguably the best player ever to have lived and it was in 1986 not the 70s and it's won the most incredible goals ever scored you've got a lot to learn. Just because it's not from the 90s or the last twenty years doesn't mean it's not good goal. ua-cam.com/video/MKIFPaR_ZIo/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/MEMfkQTnEhA/v-deo.html
You cut off the "Goal Of The Century" 1986 WC semifinals by Maradona. Great video. Get Peacock and start watching the English league and pick Arsenal 😅
@@REZZIKFC My best advice is don't pick a favorite team or player to root for, because that'll just give you grief and ruin your enjoyment of rival teams/players. The best way to enjoy professional football in this day and age is to watch high-stakes games between evenly matched teams who are known for currently playing entertaining football. That could be a relegation battle between two teams who both have a good offense but can't defend to save their lives, or a top-of-the-table clash between two super teams put together by billions in oil money. I enjoyed the entertaining football Manchester United played 20 years ago, and made the mistake of becoming a huge fan of them, missing out on enjoying anything their rivals both foreign and domestic did for years, and then spent the last decade forcing myself to watch Manchester United games despite them being boring and frustrating, when I could have been watching whatever teams were playing actual entertaining football in each of those seasons.
The goal selection is ridiculous in relation to the history of football in the world. It is excessively European and disregards the rest of the world and the entire history of football.
I cannot stress how important this is: Messi is by all metrics the clear best player in the history of the sport, and the only reason sports media pretends not to realise that is because having a rivalry between the two "best players ever" sells a lot more than a single player being by far the best for two straight decades. Imagine the hype if the NBA had Jordan and Lebron playing at the same time, and you've got the Messi/Ronaldo era of football. To paraphrase one professional footballer: "If someone claims that Ronaldo is better than Messi, I know not to trust anything they say about football". Ronaldo and Messi have similar numbers when it comes to goals, but Messi has him beat at assists, dribbling and playmaking, so it's really not a contest. As I said in another comment, I'm a Manchester United fan, so Ronaldo played for "my" team, while Messi was the bastard who destroyed us in two Champions League finals, yet I still admit Messi is the better player.
@@quandaledinglenut4 Come on, there's no objective measure of who is the most naturally gifted of all time, but even if you think Maradona, Cruyff, Ronaldinho or whoever is the most naturally gifted, there's no one who has produced the kind of performances Messi has for half the time he's done it. The man is basically Maradona's 2-3 peak years stretched out into two decades.
Man really just watched the first two second of the most iconic goal in football and says 'i think we're done here'

That was his fourth goal of the game in a 4-2 win against the country who always underrated him btw, which makes it pretty funny to me.
3:30 he looks smaller haha...but you can play this sport with any height. I've seen players that are like 5' and others almost like 7'. Different bodies give different abilities, that's something really nice about this sport, its for everybody
3:57 theyre 1)blocking the goalkeeper view, 2)impeding the other team to move there. 3)the shot could have gone straight, right to his teammates so they do a header or just move out of the way of the ball 4)the teammates could run on certain direction to atract the oposite defenders and open space for shooting
6:04 how did that go in? Because he's Ronaldinho, that's why heheheh
6:55 they all look similar...but it's rare to watch those kind of goals, it's extremely hard and you gotta watch lots of matches to get to see one of those live. It's not common, it's very very hard

0:50 they are called vuvuzela, they were kinda exclusive to the world cup in south africa.
Thank you. I want to get one of those and annoy everyone at home lol
@@MVREZZIKif there's another world Cup on the continent of Africa, I imagine these will make another appearance. It basically ruined an entire world Cup for people outside of Africa
@@MVREZZIK In case you're not joking, be warned that they're genuinely dangerous; the decibel count can reach levels that cause permanent hearing damage, and the fact that they're not banned world-wide is insane to me.
enjoyed watching this
to give context to the goal at 10:05 - the guy "he puts on pause" great description btw, is Jerome Boateng and at the time perhaps the best defender in the world. That Messi guy is pretty decent
So that makes it even better of a play lol. Thank you
@@REZZIKFC Also, you're perfectly justified in thinking it looked funny; he was memed into oblivion at the time, and rightfully so. To be fair, Messi is a minimalistic genius at dribbling, and instead of fancy tricks he just has perfect control and timing, moving the ball just when the defender is off-balance and can't react in time. Boateng's reaction is what you get when you try to force your body to do something it is in no position to do, and most of us are fortunate enough to have those embarrassing moments in private, not in front of millions of viewers! 😄
They purposely aim for the corners of the goal to
A goalkeeper goes further from the goal to make it smaller. Most players stop at 34/35. Ronaldo is playing in the sandbox at al nassr he is 39. Messi plays in the us so if you ever want to watch him play now is your change.

I will check him out next. Not sure what I will be able to watch because I have to be carful of copyright or it won't let me upload it.
@ there is no Problem with Copyright - i saw a lot of reactions about this video
@@REZZIKFC That's a great one, and feel free to mute the music, cuz we've all seen that video so many times that we could do with a break from that music! Also, if he looks a bit chunky in a couple of the clips, those are the ones from a charity game after he retired, which for some reason is in there alongside clips mainly from a couple of seasons in his absolute prime, and can be left out of the video.
@@REZZIKFC Are you still making the video?
No that annoying noise is not standard,just for that tournament and we hated them as well ha ha
Yeah, I can't bear to watch any kind of footage from that particular world cup for more than a minute before losing my mind. Who the hell thought that the thing football needed was a nonstop buzzing noise louder than everything else in the stadium combined?
Hey react to "Best skills in football" it will show you a different side of the game. And you will also be entertained!!
Some of these goals are just important, not best. Nowadays I actually like Americans calling it soccer. Also a couple of goals came because they also surprised the goalie. For example Ronaldinho and Suarez goals. And Van Persie's too.
Check hugo sanchez goals the worlds most acrobatic striker
Thank you I will check him out as well
Those flick goals you like are mostly flukes, basically just trying to get any sort of touch on the ball to deflect it towards goal, but they look wonderful when it works out.
That seam like one of the aspects that can be exciting when something that wasn't really supposed to happen does.
Some guys, like Quaresma, master the trivela though. Pretty signature goal of his comming from the right and putting it in the left corner
@@REZZIKFC Calling it a fluke is unfair; I've scored a few similar goals in my time(at much closer distance, both from the passer and to the goal), and I was definitely consciously trying to get the connection I got, so I have no doubt world-class professional footballers meant to do what you saw them do.
I will agree that none of them would have chosen that kind of finish if an easier one was an option, and that most players couldn't actually pull it off consistently, but it's no fluke.
Agree bro, from street to pitch. What's better than 2 touch, a pass with enough on it for 1 touch...! @@korganrocks3995
You stopped the video right on the most famous goal of the last 50 years, when Diego Maradona ran three quarters of the pitch, dodging every opposing player including the goalkeeper, until he scored.
Yeah I screwed that up. I am going to go back and watch that. When the video popped up on the screen I thought it was over.
@@REZZIKFC I don't blame you, drives me crazy when that happens while there's still important stuff to come in the video. The goal is insane though; Maradona dribbles past half the English team to score the most iconic goal in World Cup history, and in the same game manages to also pull off the most iconic piece of cheating in World Cup history by scoring with his hand and somehow conning the referee into thinking a 5'5" player managed to win a header against a goalkeeper who is allowed to use his arms to reach the ball in the air! 😄
Im all behind you learning, great stuff.
But i nearly spit my coffee out when you get to Diego Maradona's 1986 literally voted 'Goal of the Century' and casually go, 'oh this looks old, well i think that'll do'.... nooooo lol
Also, you should follow Liverpool F.C. Great history, comebacks, successes, failures, players, managers & devestating tragedy that you could research & react to for your channel.
Keep up the good work 😊👍🏼
yeah that is the most commented thing lol. I thought it was done because of the video that popped up. Won't make that mistake again.
Be sure to search the goal out. Maradona v England 1986 World Cup will bring it up. If you find extended highlights, that game also has one ofvthe most controversial goals ever. The Infamous 'Hand of God'. Enjoy 😊 @REZZIKFC
They always show the long shots , but miss out the great team.goals, headers, and solo dribbles .
What would you call a team goal?
@REZZIKFC When the ball is played from their own half, with many passes throughout the team, rather than individual brilliance.
@@REZZIKFC That one-touch passing move where you replayed it to count the passes is one of the most famous example of passing at the highest level. Most goals are team goals to some extent, and the best ones are ones where 3 or more players in a row produce a flawless action, for example a pass from midfield that slides between two defenders to find a teammate out wide who "bends it like Beckham" into the area in front of the goal where a third teammate meets the ball in mid-air with his head(usually) or whatever other bodypart he can reach the ball with and scores.
I remember my amateur level team trying to practice this type of goal against a goalkeeper with no defenders, and after half an hour of scoring every tenth attempt(if even that) we decided it'd be much easier to just try to dribble past opponents who were as bad as us than trying to score proper goals. 😄
Love watching americans struggling to understand the greatest game in the world!😂
ROnaldo main 2 teams, MANCHESTER UNITED & REAL MADRID
The most famous team is MANCHESTER UNITED
The fans, go watch Ultras our way of life or the best Ultras video 1 million special, both will blow your mind,the usa has nothing like it.
What is Utlras? I will check it out. I have to make a list of what to watch lol
He cut off Maradona 😅
Watch the best league in the world, the ones who invented football the way we know it today, that means Premier League. Watch some recent matches between the best ones, let's say Liverpool against Manchester City. Yes, there are 2 pro teams in Manchester. Manchester United isn't the best one anymore though, they were some time. You won't be disappointed by them. I like how some of the Spanish league (it's called La Liga - you pronounce it like you would in Spanish language) teams play too. You can watch Real Madrid against Barcelona. That's a classic team rivalry in football.
Jesus man we get to the greatest goal and the man that is Maradonna and my guy goes nah that will do 🫣
love the video, the original video have great clips, unfortunately 33 is nowhere near enough to show half of all the legendary, unforgettable, almost impossible, ... goals but in that case the (original) would be at least an hour long
They could have gotten more unique goals in there if they'd refrained from showing multiple goals that were the same skill, like bicycle kicks. If you show the Giroud scorpion kick you don't need to also show the Zlatan one; I'd rather they show him hockey-tackling a defender out of the way and then backheeling it in or some other uniquely Zlatan-esque goal.
WOW DIDNT WATCH MARADONNA GOAL 😮😢
I made a follow up video ua-cam.com/video/GVSJNiSK5gg/v-deo.html
@@REZZIKFC awesome 👌
3:57 several possibilities - for one they are blocking the sight of the Goalie additionally, they know whats coming, freekicks are often rehearsed moves, sometimes they duck so the shot goes over for example or in this case they turn and go for a possible "rebound" avoiding an off side position. The protecting hand in front of the chest is to avoid getting the win kicked out of you, imagine getting a shot from a pro on the solarus plexus
react to "ultras our way of life" - see real football fans
Highly recommended
You also ended at the end by not watching the number one goal which was by Diego Maradona arguably the best player ever to have lived and it was in 1986 not the 70s and it's won the most incredible goals ever scored you've got a lot to learn. Just because it's not from the 90s or the last twenty years doesn't mean it's not good goal.

@@REZZIKFC Sorry if I seemed a bit rude but it's Diego... :)
Did he skip Maradona 😂😂😂
yeah sorry. I have been scolded a 1000 times lol. I feel bad
You cut off the "Goal Of The Century" 1986 WC semifinals by Maradona. Great video. Get Peacock and start watching the English league and pick Arsenal 😅
Yeah I screwed that up. I will have to be more carful in the future. Thanks for the info on Peacock. I might get that
@@REZZIKFC My best advice is don't pick a favorite team or player to root for, because that'll just give you grief and ruin your enjoyment of rival teams/players. The best way to enjoy professional football in this day and age is to watch high-stakes games between evenly matched teams who are known for currently playing entertaining football. That could be a relegation battle between two teams who both have a good offense but can't defend to save their lives, or a top-of-the-table clash between two super teams put together by billions in oil money.
I enjoyed the entertaining football Manchester United played 20 years ago, and made the mistake of becoming a huge fan of them, missing out on enjoying anything their rivals both foreign and domestic did for years, and then spent the last decade forcing myself to watch Manchester United games despite them being boring and frustrating, when I could have been watching whatever teams were playing actual entertaining football in each of those seasons.
Last one was the best!!!! And you skip it!!!!!!!
You literally are pissing me off...why would you leave one out?
World cup 2026
According to this video there were no legendary goal when tv was in black and white. LOL Pele did never exist?
A very, very, very subjective list...
I thought you said you learned the rules before this. The guy in black is the referee.🙄
no it was the African World cup... and they were bloody annoying
The goal selection is ridiculous in relation to the history of football in the world. It is excessively European and disregards the rest of the world and the entire history of football.
you need to know this MESSI is the GOAT
U wish😂😂😂😂
I cannot stress how important this is: Messi is by all metrics the clear best player in the history of the sport, and the only reason sports media pretends not to realise that is because having a rivalry between the two "best players ever" sells a lot more than a single player being by far the best for two straight decades. Imagine the hype if the NBA had Jordan and Lebron playing at the same time, and you've got the Messi/Ronaldo era of football.
To paraphrase one professional footballer: "If someone claims that Ronaldo is better than Messi, I know not to trust anything they say about football". Ronaldo and Messi have similar numbers when it comes to goals, but Messi has him beat at assists, dribbling and playmaking, so it's really not a contest.
As I said in another comment, I'm a Manchester United fan, so Ronaldo played for "my" team, while Messi was the bastard who destroyed us in two Champions League finals, yet I still admit Messi is the better player.
@@korganrocks3995 womp womp messi isnt the best
@@quandaledinglenut4 Come on, there's no objective measure of who is the most naturally gifted of all time, but even if you think Maradona, Cruyff, Ronaldinho or whoever is the most naturally gifted, there's no one who has produced the kind of performances Messi has for half the time he's done it. The man is basically Maradona's 2-3 peak years stretched out into two decades.
Moron
Let him watch the videos and decide for himself
Haha I know American say brainless things sometimes..but ooo the arw in the same team c
Win teh have the same colors on and al the rest white
You pause too much
Why tf would u skip nr 1??
When the next video popped up I thought it was over. Won't make that mistake again
Chill out bro
