[@TheAthleticFC]

Have a lovely time!

[@bebianobr]

When will the next season begin? We do not have Football Manager in Brazil. So that's how I satisfy my appetite for the game

[@sebastiansantana3231]

This content is amazing! Please do more videos like this ☺️

[@joaosimoes4342]

We could make a fairly accurate (and entertaining) chronology of this solely by using several of Alex's facial expressions throughout the video.

[@wahoo2782]

JJ screaming "Ross Barkley from 200 yards" whilst Alex visibly contemplates murder perfectly captures the vibe of Tifo IRL

[@elliotburns4961]

Football's a simple game, 22 men kick a ball about, and in the end, Bryan Gil wins

[@diegodadog1435]

Totenhamm vs Bryan Gil

[@ardashirtahershiraj7673]

Gary Lineker : "Football is a simple game. 22 men chasing after the ball for 90 minutes and in the end the Germans always win"

[@theflyingdonkeypunch]

Tifo has entered it's golden age. The quality of videos they're putting out at the minute is top tier

[@TheAthleticFC]

May it NEVER END!

[@shane5022]

Absolutely agree.

[@brucelee7782]

I hope it stays this way for a long time hahaha

[@theirvings4310]

I am way too excited to watch grown men talk over a game simulation

[@NotJeffsHandle]

The real question is how do they make videos make other grown me excited to watch them?😂

[@nashequalizer8836]

No your not too excited. If anything your not excited enough 🤩

[@rohannaval1621]

Sporting Mallard didn't win the game, but they won our hearts.

[@TheAthleticFC]

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

[@thedislikebutton163]

Yeah, but the most important thing is the 3 points and then we go again.

[@gabjavc]

Two things one cannot avoid: 1. Death 2. Calvert-Lewin letting Alex down

[@AlbRomano]

We have reports that the hate is mutual, that's why DCL refused to score. For more news on FC Alex visit us on The Athletic

[@Pashizzle500]

3. Bryan Gil scoring the winner

[@AnonNomad]

"Don't f*cking touch me." I felt that.

[@unthoughtwords]

"The perpetually disappointing Ross Barkley" - as a Villa fan, that gave me serious flashbacks to last season.

[@josephmallon9381]

Watching him take mcginn off and putting barkley on every game was soul crushing

[@tomelliott2602]

“I don’t think grudge is a violent enough word” - Alex Stewart

[@mrnobody6438]

SIR ALEX STEWART *

[@BigMadAndy]

The cut-away to the green screen celebration got me so bad 😂

[@Prederick]

This has all the finest hallmarks of playing video games with your friends. Which is to say, the overwhelming desire to annihilate the people you care about and drive them to potentially punching you in the face.

[@Peter-jt3de]

"Ross Barkley from two HUNDRED yards!" - JJ Bull the Bullard

[@lewishagan9319]

"if he doesn't crawl out of this studio a broken man, then I've failed" 😂😂 I love Alex, man

[@rajhouse8794]

I am raging, with Alex’s face is meme material

[@Wezzeth]

You know the content is good when you cheer at loud alone in your apartment at a computer man scoring a computer goal

[@jamumadaki5484]

I shouted when Bryan Gil scored his goal

[@MarcusWayne12]

I wasn't cheering, but I was dying laughing the whole time. Great series.

[@travislevison6074]

Alex showed more facial expressions in those 15 minutes than he has done in his entire lifetime.

[@sidequest22]

The close up's of Alex's face had me creasing up. Exceptional series.

[@ModernSnipe97]

I really want you lot to do this again, this has been immensely entertaining. Much love

[@thedominator96]

A big game....full of....big lads....

[@danielm8980]

This is literally on par with waiting for the championship league final. You can FEEL the tension.

[@muhammadalifazmi8037]

Never watched Alex with full emotion other than this FM tournament.

[@baririzqullah5782]

Alex definitely get what we called "FM'ed" with that amount of Xg lmao

[@Goofy8907]

JJ Bulls commentary is legendary

[@TheLucasisawesome]

Can we get a battle for third when Joe gets back? Would be terrific

[@TheAthleticFC]

He's gone.

[@MrIknowyoudont]

@@TheAthleticFC too much lemonade

[@williamleonard2373]

@@TheAthleticFC May the reign of the Mallard never end

[@FootballDrawn]

I'd like a REAL case-study of Jose Mourinho playing Football Manager, and see what happens in the game. If I was in the marketing department of FM, I'd look into these collaborations ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

[@moumenrezaei1330]

I would personally watch those series 😀😀

[@MarcusWayne12]

Mourinho is definitely the manager most likely to bench a player irl cuz he's underperforming in FM.

[@chikennuget3634]

in spurs all or nothing, there was a scene where mourinho was projecting something from his laptop, and he had fm20 installed in the taskbar

[@NaibSH]

Alex has cracked me up during this series 😂😂

[@kochikargar6074]

All that matters are the 3 points

[@masikoniwagaba]

Alex becoming Mourinho in the press conferences has made my day.

[@KingdomOfStars]

I laughed so hard at the Bryan Gil goal :))

[@TheNachiket123]

Ross Barkley from 200 yards!!😂😂. This was the best moment of the match!

[@adamgeigerjr6995]

next FM game, you guys should just do a season long series of this ... loving this type of content

[@CallumRSU30]

Alex: “But you can’t change him either, can you?". Just needed to be complimented by a mustache twirl and a sinister villain type laugh.

[@ILikedGooglePlus]

Someone warn Wilfred Ndidi after that 93rd min pass. Alex Stewart is coming for him

[@navidoo1999]

Alex's face when Iain said it was an even game LMAO😂

[@VxmikeyxV]

You guys make a lot of great content, but this has far and away been a huge highlight. Please do more of these

[@jamezmcc]

I've never seen a less deserving winner of anything....ever! 😂😂😂 Iain's team were absolutely shocking in the entire tournament lol vintage Football Manager cheese 😆😂

[@laoganmafootballclub6632]

This is why he's an FM expert - not because he's good at the game at all, but because he has the sorcery to FM everyone.

[@deeznoots6241]

He literally had Kane taking some free kicks lmao

[@effrumtheretardo]

The call heard around the world: "Ross Barkley, from TWO HUNDRED YARDS!" 🤣

[@jakemills7835]

"I am raging" said Dumbledore calmly

[@antoniomendoza1059]

7:24 This has the same energy as that part in a movie where the villain toys with the protagonist, mocking him as the light of life exits from his eyes

[@eddietemple2302]

This channel's sense of humour is fucking fantastic. I love it.

[@charliehughes7446]

I want a 3rd place play off between Joe Rovers and Sporting Mallard

[@neby9218]

This is a really good series!

[@jjjavi93]

This is just the absolute best thing in the planet. Please make some more of these :)

[@Anthonygamer10]

This was an absolutely amazing series! I actually think i could watch this forever

[@benhayward2597]

Brilliant stuff. Looking forward to seeing any future series. 😀

[@harrynoke6458]

You can tell Iain is genuinely delighted when Bryan scores

[@Flood2121]

That was one of the best mini series I have watched. On KZbin.

[@jezdunn8399]

I know the laws of youtube. Engagement = Money. So here's my engagement boys, keep that sweet sweet content coming. If you're reading this and you haven't commented. Get on it and get the Tifo men the money they need to keep putting out this quality quality stuff.

[@Milkiest]

Lads this comes out at 2am for me. I just want some FM Tifo shithousery in my life right now.

[@animevsirl]

Watched this live. Oh my. The scenes!!

[@K3ldt]

Okay, but can we just appreciate JJ? 'ROSS BARKLEY FROM 200 YARDS!'

[@imapenguin95]

First Tifo series that has made me genuinely consider the Athletic. Great stuff.

[@jordavi7501]

Should 100% do the other top leagues ❤️

[@poketuber9702]

I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views , this is some of the best content on KZbin

[@chaseedwards7024]

An incredibly high level of entertainment. I'd watch a long, long series of exactly this.

[@TheMegallama]

"The Big Game full of Big...lads" "He's headed over from 6 yards! He's supposed to head the ball UNDER the bar!" "He's dribbling ALL the way from right to left, which is the most dribbley thing you can d-" "Ross Barkley with a bit of space, what can he do? Nothing. (10 sec later) ROSS BARKLEY FROM 200 YARDS!!!!" I would pay good money to hear JJ Bull commentate over actual games! Especially if Alex is with him making snide remarks about literally everything XD

[@MLGBrownCat]

We need more episodes of this!

[@aavashshrestha5575]

I couldn't control my laugh when bryan gil scored the goal............... great content guys

[@graymedia8388]

Bryan Gil: Scores. Me: SMASHES LIKE BUTTON.

[@joshbrown2217]

I've never seen a video that has better summed up Ross Barkley's career than this

[@GJ-dv8uq]

i promise im not exaggerating when i say this is comfortably the greatest series on KZbin

[@xdarkohh60]

This format is amazing, I only want more and more

[@louisclark3267]

" I am ..... RAGING" had me fkn rolling .

[@jonteau7722]

I’m actually quite gutted Alex lost but the content violent Alex provides is unmatched.

[@sachin200ification]

Wow!!!....I got so much more invested in this than I expected. ❤️❤️

[@joeparas]

Possibly the greatest commentated game of all time.

[@austind6072]

Love the little invisible bits on Alex's shirt where the greenscreen cut out the green stripes

[@atharvabeesen8865]

Iain lost every game on xG but still won the whole thing 🤣

[@DarKillerChris]

These videos are terrific

[@burger8954]

We need more of this.

[@jayilham6548]

Absolutely adore this 🥰

[@daud1740]

No lie, this has been one of the best KZbin series I've ever seen

[@christianatiba3689]

Alex plays the role of evil sociopath a little to well…..

[@Ben__00]

It was great, usually a bit bored by FM but this time i was fully invested ! Alex got rob

[@grif9511]

This is proper quality.

[@parzival5282]

JJ "Ross Barkley from 200 yards~~~" LOL

[@maxmonahan5934]

Absolutely loved this mini series, was cracking up the whole time. Please do another ASAP!

[@marcosgmunoz1]

I don't have words to describe how thankful I am for this content incredible

[@rolandcooke]

"It's what great friendships are built on". Man, I thought the game Diplomacy was harsh..... :D

[@amishkakru7883]

this series was among the best things on youtube. I demand a la liga version . #justice for Alex FC

[@williamsdenes]

Wonderful content lads.

[@TheFjerstad]

Tifo guys should do this every year

[@fprosk]

One of the most brutal FMings in recorded history.

[@muhammadalifazmi8037]

I love that Tifo have the kind of humor that I enjoy.

[@mapkocc]

words cannot describe how thankful I am for this content incredible

[@Beeady]

Love Alex's provedence city shirt

[@jakesafc5348]

We need to see Joe Devine in a bronze medal match

[@jdog2597]

Absolutely loved this. Had me laughing for the majority of all three parts. Cheers Tifo team

[@baladushi6444]

[@wac8189]

It had to be Bryan Gil. Unbelievable.

[@jamiebirley]

I've enjoyed this series so much. More of this please lovely tifo people!
