My dad has the autographs of the entire 1966 North Korea team because he he watched them training for a game at Middlesbrough, Ayresome Park. They went to train on a public playing field
@@dankusmemeus1920 yeah they scored those three goals first as well, such a shame they lost
8:23 ur welcome
Dani RBXL if he cared about his subscribers hed make the video 1 minute and a blank screen for 9 minutes so people know to skip. hes a piece of shit
Last time I was this early, I was in North Korea and they had won their 9th World Cup on the bounce
@@alonelypotato2788 he's saying that North Korea are manipulating its citizens
@@biplopqusquddin2278 no he's not lol.. he's just joking.... i get that joke that's why i reply like i was clueless on nk winning the world cup 😂
Make a video about Han Kwang son. He’s a young North Korean who played in the serie A and B for Cagliari and Perugia, he even had a short spell at juventus. He moved to Qatar but suddenly his club stated he was gone. Pls dig into this case
Man he is playing for Al Duhail,he played like 10 days ago for his club and he even scored in the game
He contracted corona and has been quarantined insured kuwait. Ge will play in 4 weeks
8:38: “and the fate of two players is unknown”
_so basically they were executed_
alfie is such a football geek, the next time somebody jokingly asked him to make a list of "seven carribean trequartista" he'll actually do it just for the hell of it
Even north Korea has relegation and promotion, yet us sports can't get around to do it
Well most sport onwers in the u.s are just there for the money income, they couldn't care less about actually winning anything.
It's because the US is way too big (size wise) for pro/rel. England is roughly the size of Virginia. Spain and Germany are comparable to Texas. Traveling for lower tiered games there isn't a hassle. It's hard enough getting fans of Orlando to travel to Portland for a match because of all the costs (flight/hotel/car/misc). Imagine if they were in the 2nd or 3rd division.
@@michaelsmith5769 that's just life, it's not like a 3rd division mid table Swedish side has a lot of away fans when they go to games. That means they don't have a lot of money as well and that's just the way it is... And when you get far enough down the league's it does become regional so that's just what the us has to do for their second or third tier. There really is not excuse apart from the obvious... Money
I remember when the (not really good) Philippines team came over and the players posted videos of the North Korean football field. It was so disturbing how the stadium was full and everyone is choreographed to cheer on queue. If your national team is in Asia, chances are they have competed in North Korea's stadium at least once.
@@liamokeeffe5336
South Korea literally played North Korea in North Korean lands a few months ago..the game ended 0-0
Funny reply “South Korea probably “ and then an Asian who doesn’t understand either comment “both countries were in the World Cup” 🤦🏻♂️
Han Kwang Song should get a video, he is a very bright star. He literally had the potential to be a starter on a decent champions league team, or at the very least an amazing player off the bench.
I was literally pondering that exact same question myself last night after rewatching some of the 1966 World Cup! Thanks for answering this HITC!
I’m sure they’re all alive, just working in factories for their food ration and living in tenement blocks with no heating.
I have a Video idea: Can you make like a 10 minute video just about mad football facts just like when the keeper knocked himself out on a goal post in a foggy game and then a fan went in goal please do this as id like to see crazy football facts
In Honduras the goalkeeper of Olimpia left during the game to take a dump. They are the most famous team.
@@robusttw4479 And Gary lineker shit himself on the pitch and wiped his ass across the grass like a dog lol
What’s the email address? Can we sign them up for mail about the rest of the world?
Definitely think these in depth analysis of a certain topic videos are the best on the channel, hope they continue more and more frequently! (As well as pull in views for a win-win situation)
Do a video on the match that started a war honduras vs el salvador 1970 wc qualifier
As a Honduran myself, I can tell you the war had nothing to do with that football match. Territorial disputes and political tensions were the causes, the football match just made things worse.
Samael Morillo I realise that war was inevitable at some stage but it was the football match that started it so that’s why i think it would be an interesting video to watch
Samael Morillo El Salvador beat u guys in war and in the game 😂😂😂😂😂 imagine losing twice I could never
Gibraltar: Where are they now XI from Gibraltar v Slovakia (2013) their first ever UEFA recognised match
The squad was built around Jong Tae-Se....
I remember winning the 2010 World Cup with North Korea on my 360 just last year lol,
My city club Hanoi FC met April 25th in semi final AFC Cup last year. First leg in Vietnam was 2-2, then the second leg in North Korea was not broadcast and somehow ended up 0-0, nothing was recorded from the game :))
7 Smallest top flight stadiums in history
Yeah that but also maybe top flight stadiums in let says the top 5 or top 10 leagues should be considered? But if it’s possible maybe he could try all the leagues in Europe, or maybe if pushing it, worldwide?
Best XI of players who’s international team are 180 or below in the Fifa World Cup Rankings e.g. ST Andy Selva San Marino
When North Korea got thrashed by Portugal 7-0, people in North Korea still believe the fact that was the final match and Portugal had won 2010 World Cup 😂
@@LunaticTheCat no, nobody knows really what it was said in NK about their defeat or their performance
They were probably told that the refs had rigged the game for Portugal, or that what they were watching was western propaganda or something.
Ironically, they are able to score one goal against Brazil, but not Portugal?
Vegas:
What happens in Vegas, stays un Vegas!
North Korea:
YOU DARE OPPOSE ME, MORTAL!?
Love the video. Could you do something on the 1970 Zaire team?
Thoroughly enjoyed this, nice one 👍🏼
Their youth team played a Slovenian friendly in Slovenia, I have a friend who plays for a Slovenian football club and they sometimes play a friendly match with the North Koreans, North Korea was actually good they even won the game 2-0
They are always a dark horse during the Asian cup. Can even play better than Saudi Arabia and Australia.
@@AlbirexNiigataSupport what?🤣 last 3 AFC Asian cups (2011-2015-2019) they all got knocked out in the groupstage, ending one tournament with 1 point, and 2 with a 0 points exit. stop the crap
Great video, loving these mini-documentary style ones. TiFo will be looking over their shoulder haha
Good to know those horror stories we heard about the players’ fate are very likely untrue.
Who here thought they were all dead?
👇
I'll ask again:
Best 7 signings from foreign lower leagues
I will carry the torch if he doesn't do this video idea, because this a good idea
This might be really hard but could you try and do a further video on national North Korean football?? This was incredibly interesting to watch
Would be great. Though quality footage is pretty rare. But club games with 40.000 dead silents "fans" in the stands can be quite surreal.
What is more interesting however, is that, if I am correct, the DPR Korea women's football team is much more highly ranked in the world than the men's team and probably holds a better legacy in the country, with at least one film or tv series having been made about them!
Yea they rank 10th in women fifa ranking highest out of all Asian countries. But weirdly enough they also do not participate in World Cups like their men counterpart despite being able to.
An Young Hak also manages the United Koreans in Japan team in CONIFA, and finished 11th in the most recent world cup, above Tibet.
As for my own tangent about DPRK, I remember having the 2006 World Cup game for the Nintendo DS, and had the 2002 Tournament DVD where South Korea shithoused their way to the last 4.
So imagine my 8 year old surprise to learn there was another Korea, and decided that they were the team I was going to use and take to the world cup, without knowing anything else about the DPRK.
Jakepetrolhead South Korea cheated in the 2002 World Cup
That's how they went to the last 4
Fuck Korea
Top strikers with more assists than goals
This is fucking impossible
Not even Firmino has more assista than goals.
@@demifal1020 can you tell me the diference between defense and ofense
Could you do a video on the best Caribbean players? I think that'd be pretty interesting
The classic 10 min vídeo of sleeping...
North Korea has so many players playing in Japan (Both in J.League and J2 League) but they refuse to use them in international games? I find it weird. Chong Te-se is probably the most well-known player right now aside from Han Kwang-song
Those players are probably Japanese Korans and do not wish to play for the national team
@@LaVaZ000 Chong Te-se was part of the 2010 North Korean squad that participated in the World Cup that year. Han Kwang Song is their newest ace, was in Europe and now stuck back in North Korea. He participates on and off for the team due to travel/politics reasons
HITC Sevens will fuel our football addictions until September
Sam Pang covered this material brilliantly!
Hey Alfie, could you do a video about the Nigerian Premier League? I read somewhere that only 5% of the results in league history are away wins due to incidents like away team players and referees been attacked by fans before games and corruption etc. I know a few years ago the league was suspended. Also if you look at betting odds on Nigerian games the home team is virtually always odds on favourite to win irrespective of league position of the two teams and I think this season the most away points for a single team is a lower total than the lowest home points in the league. Anyway I'm probably in a minority of one with this request but just a thought.
I love when a video is exactly 10min long
Hi, I am Korean. Those players are doing very well. Most of those players have retired and continued to play as main players after the World Cup. Especially, the bald man who cried when singing the national anthem appeared on Korean TV and entered the Bundesliga.
Pls can you do: every premier leagues club player who was at the club played well left came back and was rubbish
How about a video about who would be the starting 11 or overall squad if East Germany still existed?
I didn't expect to see Itoudis in this video 😊
3'10" The old Goodison Road stand before being replaced by the existing Main Stand That Portugal game was at Goodison but they also played in Middlesbrough with great support from locals.
Chill out folks. North Korea actually reached the Quarter Final of the 1966 World Cup. The players returned to the U.K. in 2006 to visit . They were in good shape and had a very nostalgic trip.
Do a video on the worst EPL stricker's this season
eg. Che Adams, Solanke, Joelinton etc.
Excellent video
One season wonders plz🔥
Joke or Not, I managed to click into this video with intrigue.
A video on 2016 men’s soccer Olympic finals between Germany and Brazil. Germany had the likes of Sule Goretzka Gnabry. Brazil had Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and such. 2020 Olympics are tentatively scheduled for this year. Makes sense to do a where are they now!!
Can you do anything on Haitian soccer? My father in law would love it. He wants them to return to the World Cup so bad. He did say he remembers when Team Haiti was losing to Cuba 3-0 and then they were told by Papa Doc to play better....of else and they did!
idea: 7 players who won topscorers in their league even though their club was relegated (like igor protti in serie a 1995/96 or quini 1975/76 in la liga)
Every premier league team's best ever player from each continent
Future video idea: Every premier league clubs best ever defender
This was actually an interesting video
Cristiano Ronaldo:
I'd love to play for Pyongyang FC
Ri Myoung Guk, ngl he was decent. The defenders in front of him were just terrible, though. Not completely his fault they lost 7-0 to Portugal.
You should make most underrated national teams
Best players from the 2016 Olympics: Where are they now?
I remember their game against Portugal so basically after the 3rd goal of Portugal i told my dad that they are not focused on the game anymore they are just scared about what kind of execution they are gonna get 😂😂😂😂
They mightve gotten special treatment after going back to North Korea or something because the north Korean broadcast changed the scores saying they won 😭 or they got executed and no one knows where they are now cause they're dead
Please do a video on the Copa UNCAF tournament. Where only Central American teams play in that cup.
Can you do
your clubs best player they’ve brought in on loan ?
Greatest footballer of all time from each country in africa
Chelsea's infamous all-foreign XI on Boxing Day 1999 - where are they now, would be cool too!
Can you make video footballers how turn into beasf mode while playing for country.Like Sneijder who were dicent on club lvl but turn into messi for holland or Klinsman
I think it’s safe to say the squad haven’t been killed upon returning to North Korea, how would the government explain the execution of World Cup winning heroes?
Video basically starts at 6:00
Do a video on top 7 team to finish there league with more than 100 points
Yeovil town league 1 play off final, 11 where are they now?
It's refreshing to see a video on YT that isn't about the beer bug.

Imagine North Korea and South Korea played a game
My man Kim would take out the nukes 💀
This might not get read but, I have heard that the Rwandan national team ( team in Africa that is maybe on the rise) has potential, but my research is not showing me what that potential could look like at it’s peak. If you can find something( because I believe you have better research conducting skills than me) that shows the team does it would be very appreciated.
You don’t have to make a video about it you could just reply to this comment.
Did you ever find out research on the Rwandan national team? Did he ever make a video on it, because he didn’t reply to you.
I remember Jon Tae-Sae
Do the most trolled players. Jesse lingard believes hes one of the best no.10 in England/football
He's going places that lad he'll be captaining Uganda FC reserve in no time
Do their premier league teams qualify for champions league or do they skip it?
Please do, All 2006 world cup players that are still playing.
Who would win a footballer hunger games
Please Make a video about Davide Moscardelli.
What about what happened to the Barcelona b or the real madrid b squad when they got promotion into la liga smartbank where are they now?
Oh that’s weird I thought they won the World Cup with Kim Jong un scoring 23 goals in honor of Michael jordan whom he beat 1x1 at the halftime of every game?
Do a video on the World Cup curse. For example Spain in 2014 World Cup and Germany in the 2018 World Cup
Best player to ever play for every club in EFl league 1 and league 2

7 best footballers to ever win the Uzbequistani 2nd division
In Australia, our local paper reported on 2010 World Cup results from Naughty Korea and Nice Korea.
Very interesting. I prefer these historical or political videos to many of yours about the Premier League actually.
Recently Michael Palin did a TV series and a book where he visited North Korea. It's well worth a look.
Where are North Korea's 2010 World cup squad now?
Kim Jong-Un: well...
They won it according to North Korea post
Even if Kim realeased news that they won WC, did the people there actually believed that they had won it ?? :))
Nguyen Quang Huy they would have too that’s how corrupt the country is
Gulags
Lol did you even watch the video, he just confirmed some of the players locations as continuing to play football, reactionary idiots you lot
