40 STUPID Football Moments In 2023

[@robertbradshaw5281]

For those wondering the keeper let the free kick in because it was an in direct free kick and no one had touched it so it was just a goal kick when it went it, smart play from the keeper

[@Thaijester]

I am Corinthians fan (the goalkeepers team) he is a huge legend for our club after the club World Cup final against Chelsea

[@ryanweavile]

​@@Thaijesteryou're wrong, he became a legend after the libertadores Win.

[@bramibes]

He could have easily caught it though

[@yourannoyingness]

It's horrible on the Irish Guy's part that he didn't explain further, when a similar incident was what happened in the Rennes vs. Villarreal match.

[@Thaijester]

@@ryanweavile true but I got into football because of the club World Cup final that’s why I it came to my mind first but you are right

[@Internazionale2010]

Got one to add for the 2024 version, apparently Bayern have a verbal agreement to sign Eric Dier. 💀

[@therealgamebase]

bro 2024 just started the other day

[@Duval-In-The-Wall]

😂😂😂

[@rohithraman6488]

What are Bayern thinking loooool

[@tasbhu764]

I PRAY THIS GOES THROUGH

[@daslegend7429]

As a wise man said, Harry Kane is still assisting for Spurs 😅

[@johngalbreath9394]

Charlotte FC fan chiming in, everyone in the Carolinas thought he was the deceased former coach of UNC's basketball club of the same name. Irish Guy hit it on the head with this one

[@JimTheFly]

I was gonna say "North Carolina must be confused as hell to hear that Dean Smith is coaching soccer now" 🤣

[@shemarbrown2523]

Would be even more awesome if he wins a chip then Caroilna would have 2 champion Dean Smith's😂

[@LuigiLuigi728]

On that note, has anyone heard the name James Maddison and thought the former US President has gone back to life to play football in England? 😂😂

[@No1LukasGrahamFan]

The Corinthians moment was an indirect freekick, Cassio let it in to get a Goalkick

[@nevenpatrk9661]

Benfica are absolute geniuses in the transfer market. The fact that they have gotten over 300 milion for Joao Felix, Enzo Fernandez and Darwin Nunez is incredible.

[@kaidenhall2718]

I think with Felix and Fernandez is they left for the wrong team

[@davidmolinacampos1512]

The fact that they can produce that much talent is insane. Hopefully they all find their feet eventually. Felix is looking good at Barca, Enzo was quality for Argentina and is still one of Chelsea's better players and he'll almost certainly be at the heart of Chelsea whenever they get back on their feet again (unless they become the next Man Utd but somehow worse), and Darwin only needs to find consistency because he's blowing hot and cold for Liverpool but has all the tools needed to become Luis Suarez's heir.

[@nevenpatrk9661]

@davidmolinacampos1512 Yeah, don't get me wrong, they are very talented players but getting that type of money for players who might not live up to that price tag is genius business.

[@maciejbala477]

tbh i feel like the Nunez one is good for Benfica yes but also for Liverpool. If you remember, a lot of teams wanted a center forward and there was none on the market, Liverpool snapped him up early, and maybe paid a bit more than they usually would, but he is a useful player to have in your squad, inconsistent sure but also can work as a team player and still scores a bit, and is pretty young. I'd say the fee they paid was about what you'd expect them to pay given the market situation and player quality. The rest are vastly overpriced though, yeah. Felix had only one great season under his belt and Fernandez could have been signed for peanuts. Both left too soon too. should've been worth half of these pricetags.

[@silviofelix1991]

Next is João Neves or Antonio Silva. Good young players but certainly overpriced when we sold them.

[@jackthumbikomkandawire8591]

I can't believe you didn't include Dortmund's ridiculous title bottling

[@freddiemercury2075]

Arsenal too. Shocking and horrible from arsenal. From an arsenal fan.

[@isaacjones5687]

[@siccfucc6615]

Tbf, its dortmund dude we know they ain't winning it, union berlin got more chance to win the bundesliga than dortmund.

[@MasterBetty69]

@@isaacjones5687which is fair, it's what he covers

[@Lilleh__]

It was literally a bottling contest, both they and Bayern were trying to bottle it, Dortmund won so Bayern won the league.

[@Lorric101]

Players are generally aware of that set piece rule. I've seen a few examples of the taker avoiding the ball when it rebounds off the wood to them.

[@zosiazaremba7479]

In hindsight what you said about Pedro Porro is very funny. That Newcastle match wasn't really long ago, but Porro has become so solid defensively (as well as brilliant going forward) that it's actually suspicious

[@J.O.Double.Z]

the Suez vs Al Nasr was an Egyptian second division match, the club logo used for Al Nasr is actually of Saudi League Nasser where CR7 Plays not for the Egyptian counterpart :). there are many reoccurring club names in Arab countries. like Al Ahly is almost there in every Arabian country you can think of . also Ittihad, Hilal and so on. Just for your info :)

[@JimTheFly]

That explains why the FM 24 video I saw that mentioned the Saudi League had teams listed like: "Al Ahly (KSA)"

[@maciejbala477]

yeah all Arabic clubs are named the same i feel like lmaoo, there's one of the ones you mentioned in every country, same with Shabab etc

[@J.O.Double.Z]

yup, this is because most team names are not related to the city they are located in like the case in Europe, those are mostly adjectives or something that has a meaning ... Al Ahly means "the Family", Al NAsser means "the Victory", Al Ittihad means "the Union". that is why most of the names are used in every Arabian league @@JimTheFly

[@macchadwick7439]

The way he pronounced "Suez" though😂

[@tricky1506]

Correction: Portland Timbers have been around FAR longer than that, but have only been in the MLS since 2011. They club has been around decades

[@thekeegster6278]

Since the 70s alongside the Sounders

[@paarsgordijn177]

0:53 In Dutch the W is pronounced like a regular W. So fair play in pronouncing his name properly anyway 👏

Glad that finaly u gave up on Enzo. The biggest joke this year is that the entire football community tried to sell me he was the next superstar.

[@mike04574]

Dudes not even 25, give him some time

[@justin_b.]

The set piece rule is really quite well known. I’m always more surprised when people don’t know it

[@ipodzrock1]

Portland Timbers fan here; our club was actually founded in 1975, but then became affiliated with MLS in 2009

[@nicksteffysoccer]

I’m a sounders fan and I can’t wait to watch Neville run you guys even further into the ground 😂 I would go as far to say that the Timbers’ social media posts after the appointment were arguably even worse than the appointment itself, and tbh I’m surprised they weren’t mentioned here. Your whole club is an absolute mess from top to bottom and I’m here for it 😂

[@ipodzrock1]

@@nicksteffysoccer yes our club has been complete shit the past two years and I hate the appointment of Phil Neville by our own version of the Glazers. That said, when was the last time we lost to you guys? 😂

[@nicksteffysoccer]

@@ipodzrock1 don’t remind me 😭 If we somehow still manage to lose to you guys even with Neville in charge, we are genuinely cursed

[@giardy8053]

Finally, the annual video everyone was waiting for

[@trentalexander-arnold9667]

Liverpool bidding for caicedo, offending lavia and then Chelsea sign both of them has to be up there

[@CyramicCylinder]

But the corinthians golakeeper knew it was an in-direct free kick and it was taken directly so the goal didn't count.

[@glewis9546]

19:11, hold on, if the stadium was 0.01% full, it has a capacity of 4,470,000?? Where is this monstrous arena???

As a charlotte fan i never expected irish guy to talk about sir minty

[@croopy99]

always when u think irish guy is done he comes up with a video like this haha

[@Csonradkaa]

You make the best football content

[@jamesedwards3410]

Weghorst disrespect is a bit much. He was genuinely a decent player for us in our system and helped us beat barca and win a trophy, and finish 3rd

[@Eatmyayrse]

You are part of the reason why this club is in the state its in,we went from Cr7 and Cavani to Weghorst and clowns like you claim it was a great deal,clown pants

[@alexanderzaka8794]

Agreed weghorst is the level United are at nowadays

[@Ariurotl]

Yep, he was the Paul Dickov type for United but it'll never be appreciated by most.

[@rishavbadola7357]

Not really. He was losing aerial duels to Gavi. What helped us beat barca was both pedri and gavi not playing the second leg

[@gabsnandes7818]

Bro, he's a striker that scored twice I get he worked hard or whatever but you could realistically get someone from the championship and they would do a similar job for less

[@kaidenhall2718]

The weirdest thing about 7-0 is for about 50 minutes man united weren’t even bad and for most of the first half I would say the better team

[@EmenussGOamazing]

A horrible horrible collapse

[@Bharat-12338]

Mentality of the player

[@georgemather9082]

Birmingham under John Eustace: 5th in the league. Irish guy: “with the team 6th in the league.”

[@orlandothompson5861]

The ‘Ireland should lose to Netherlands’ wasn’t actually true, Ireland had basically no hope anyway, although hypothetically that situation could happen

[@FarminLad]

I’m a Man Utd fan and on last year’s calendar there was Ronaldo after he was sacked and on this years there is Sancho 🤦‍♂️

[@PatrykOfficial09]

What abt the sidemen charity match with Speed missing his penalty, Kai cenat googling how to kick a ball and Max fosh uno reverse card 💀💀💀💀

[@deron19]

[@magikarpsplashy]

He was good for United. Was the perfect striker for Rashford to thrive with 🤷‍♂️

[@ryanweavile]

About Cássio letting the free kick in, it was because it needed to touch another player to count the goal, and because the ball didn't touch anyone, he just let the ball enter.

How did you not know the freekick rule?

[@Alphabunsquad]

Want to clear up that VAR knew the Diaz goal was onside and did draw lines but just the VAR just said “done check complete” and didn’t tell the ref what his decision was so the ref thought it was the onfield decision and the VAR forgot the onfield decision wasn’t onside

[@thomasshortland715]

I'm surprised you didn't add leeds loan clause issues

[@EspieJaz]

By the way in case you are wondering why Shelvey went out on a free instead of a loan, it's because Nottingham Forest were blocked from making it a loan because they had already sent 7 players out on loan in europe, which is the max. Forest thought it was only 6 players as the 7th player was thought to be out on a youth loan, which is separate from the other 6 players out on loan in europe, but that wasn't the case. And so Forest had to change it from a loan to letting Shelvey go on a free.

[@jaredfranco10]
