Leicester almost did get relegated the year they came up! it was the year after they won the premier league

[@Isleofskye]

I wrote "UNBELIEVABLY, you are UNDER selling Leicester City and their 5,000/1 achievement to win the World's most prestigious domestic League i.e. The English Premier League. This is the sequence of events. 1/ As you said they got Promoted. 2/Their FIRST season up they were bottom for 90% of the season and were 1/100 to get relegated i.e You put $100 to win $1 but, incredibly, having won 2/27 they won around 7 or 8 games out of the last 10 and stayed up on the final day. The Manager who saved them departed, hastily(under a cloud), and 65-year-old Raiieri(sacked from his 3 previous jobs) so 5,000/1 over the 38 games and you know the rest"

The Zidane headbutt was the last thing he did in football, he retired after that World Cup. In a way it's an iconic way to leave but i think i remember even him saying he regret leaving football and i'm sure he could still have played another 3-4 years at least. The Euro's is the same as the World Cup only for European nations, in the same way North America got the Gold Cup, South America got Copa America, Africa got Africa Cup of Nations and Asia got Asian Cup, all continental tournaments.

[@asmo2183]

No matter the headbutt, Zidane is a GOAT midfielder. Only new people would say he isn't GOATED due to the headbutt. Headbutting Materazzi is a miniscule thing compared to what he has achieved in the game.

[@sand0407]

The clips at 9:00 is Juninho, Brazilian and Lyon (French club) legend and easily without a doubt the best free kick taker in the history and some people even call him “the man who scores freekicks as easy as penalties” He also helped Lyon win 7 consecutive Ligue 1 titles (2001-2007). They had zero titles prior and zero titles since, shows how much of a beast this guy was.

[@lperea21]

Yes and if that wasn't enough, they then tried to redeem themselves by at least getting third place against Holland (who's coach had said it was such a pointless match that they just wanted to go home after the defeat by Argentina). Brazil lost that game as well. Humiliation extended. The backstory of the Brazilian defeat at home is another famous story of how Uruguay defeated Brazil in the final of the 1950 world cup when Brazil was the overwhelming favorite.

[@dylansharkey6040]

Yes, 'the hand of god' is bc of Argentine resentment over the Falklands... he's saying that God intervened to give them justice in the form of that goal, he's not saying that he is god - it's still denying that his own hand was used

The england players were scared of him. Hodge could have easily clipped his heels and it would never have happened, amazing goal though.

[@chrispalmer7893]

@@dylansharkey6040 Ironically, the Falkland Islands are probably the only British territory that we acquired entirely fairly. It has only ever been occupied by British citizens - it was uninihabited before British colonists landed in the early 19th Century - and Argentina's claim is based purely on them being the country closest to it (but not close enough to claim ownership under any recognised form of international law). There's a further irony to the war in 1982 in that the Falklands is a costly territory for us to own, and given the way that British foreign policy was going at the time had the Argentinians not invaded we'd almost certainly have transferred sovereignty to them by now.

[@sparkyAR]

​@@chrispalmer7893 Thats not true, the british colonists expelled the argentines in 1833. And also, prior to that, spain and france occupied the islands. Argentina´s claim is solid and legitimate, thats why the UN still lists the islands as a colony disputed by the UK and Argentina.

Roberto Carlos would practice that free kick for ages in training and tried it in other matches and it would go nowhere near the goal. That one time he managed it was just so magical that i dont think sports science has explained it to this day

it were actually a lot of different random things like wind, the way he hit the ball, air pressure etc that made this goal possible. probably the only real 1 in a million moment

Roberto Carlos admitted recently that the wind massively took it and it was likely going wide otherwise. Still though we have seen him put some crazy curl on the ball in games so I'm sure the pace he put on helped massively

Many of the teams have their own academies too. It's obviously a lower level of play than the MLS but even some recently popular players like Aaronson, Adams, Steffen, Turner, etc are all ex-USL players. And a lot of the team at the U-20 world cup right now are on or used to be on a USL team. A USL team even made it to the US Open Cup final last year (our FA Cup, basically).

The headbutt vs Materazzi made him more of a hero to me! He was known for playing crazy, dirty and injuring players, his nickname was "The killer". And he said something about Zidane's mother right after she passed. So he snapped. But the statement; "Don't talk shit about my mom." Respect. Edit: You should do a Materazzi highlight video, there are a lot of them.

Of course Germany won the 2014 World Cup, actually in that same video you can see Götze´s genius goal against Argentina in the final. All in all I notice a bit of a bias against (or at least some indifference towards) the German clubs and national team. They are HUGE in football, Germany is after Brazil the greatest footballing nation on Earth, and Bayern Munich is the only club that can see Real Madrid at eye level.

[@lperea21]

Absolutely, pound for pound I think Germany is actually the more successful team (or maybe Brazils equal). If you give points to the teams based on how far they progress in the world cup Germany is consistently in the quarter finals and up (well last two world cups may have changed my argument)

[@henrikalexandersson4663]

The thing that makes the Roberto Carlos freekick so amazing is that he shoots with his leftfoot so he's basically hitting the ball with the outside of his foot. It would have been an amazing freekick shot with the inside of his foot from that distance. An outside curve like that...just unreal..he's actually done another goal like that but in full speed from the cornerflag..

[@nightstorm5914]

Huge final match day in Germany this weekend. Borussia Dortmund is 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich going into the final match. If they manage to get the win against Mainz then they will win their first Bundesliga title since 2011/12 and snap a 10 year run of dominance from Bayern Munich. But with a draw or loss and a Bayern win they lose out on their best chance to get a title.

[@yazzhsh]

Amazing to see how much you have learned about football in such a short period of time......incredible.

[@darkmatter6714]

To curve the ball you need to hit it on the right spot with the right force but the thing is, that spot and force changes depending on the distance the ball needs to travel and the surface on which it needs to travel (air or grass). You also need to compensate for wind and density/humidity of the pitch. It’s great to see Americans finally understanding football. There’s no American sport that requires the same level of sheer skill, coordination, speed and endurance in one package: - You need Track & Field levels of sprinting speed. - The balance and strength of a gymnast. - the coordination skills of a circus juggler. - the endurance of a triathlete. The average pro player runs 90 minutes non stop, with just a 15 minute break at half time, covering 7 miles of running per game.

[@USC9210]

I am so glad you guys reacted to this video. It is the One. The One that among Americans creates curiosity, if not fandom, for soccer eventually transcending KZbin, to live watching games on tv, to going to games in person. Amazing intro, to build-up of highlights, music bed, having the best/enthusiastic play-by-play commentary.

[@draganmarkovic491]

12:00 Crucial part of that goal is that just 4 years earlier England/UK were at war against Argentina for Falklands Islands very near coast of Argentina and pretty far from UK but anyhow due to technological superiority and bigger range and number of British warships, UK won that war with ease so that goal had huge symbolism in Argentina and throughout the World as symbol of victory of "third world" country against British imperialism...

Ajax was massive underdog that entire tournament and were playing insanely beautiful attacking football. They were on the miracle run beating real madrid and juventus with a young, fearless team. And then spurs came back from a 2-0 deficit and scored the final goal in the last minute in order to win Edit: In case you hadnt noticed I was a ajax fan, so it werent tears of joy xD

The physics behind the ball spinning is the same like at pool or baseball. You hit the ball of centre while kicking it to give it a spin and the Magnus Effect then let's the ball fly a curve. You have to hit the ball at the bottom left continuing the shot movement to the right when you want to shoot a left turning freekick over the defending wall.

One thing you need to look at is Goalkeepers of the 1980's. They used to catch the ball a lot more than Goalkeepers of today whereas they now generally tip the ball off to the side. You'll be amazed. Look up Bruce Grobbelaar (Liverpools Goalkeeper).

[@jaskrip]

I think you should look up German football later on. While it gets a lot of shit for being a so called "Farmer's League", the system is interesting and there are certain unforgettable moments like Bayern and BVB meeting each other in 2013 at the CL final, Bayern destroying basically every club in sight in 2019/2020, BVB vs Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 CL and Lewandowski's unforgettable performance in it, etc.

[@damjuve13]

High man, I saw some of your videos and thats great to see how enthusiast you are about discovering this sport :) I can see that you learned a lot since your first watch of this video but i may help you get some of the still missing moments, so here it is some context about what you are missing. 1:40 about who is the goat, this is hard to tell because this is totally different era. If I may try some comparison, Pele is like Chamberlain in NBA. Every one knows he did amazing stuffs (won 3 world cups !!! scored about 1200 goals in career !!!) but no one really saw him played and there is few images remaining 2:47 "really important game" is an euphemism as he got a red card during the 2006 world cup final, while his team was definitively in better shape than Itally, leading France to loose on penalties while we was the best penalty shooter of the team. 3:16 Khan was one of the best goalkeeper that ever played. He could arguely be in top 10 ever, he finished 3rd on Ballon d'or ranking (MVP trophee among all player on the planet) on 2001 and 2002. That's pretty rare for a goalkeeper. In fact only one has won the Ballon d'or (Yashin in 1963), and only 5 other goalkeepers has been on podium since its creation (1956) including Buffon and Neuer... So yeah long story short he is a legend 3:43 Euro 2000 final is an iconic story in football. Italy was winning 1-0 and they got the most impressive defense of history. They got some name you may have heard about : Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, ... All are legendary defenders. Only conceeded 2 goals before the final. So every one was expected them to easily sit on their advantage. Wiltord score the equalizer at the 90+4th minutes. There is a story telling that Italy bench was already opening bottles of champagne to celebrate. And then both team go to overtime, but for this competition FIFA (actually this is UEFA because its a european competition but lets keep it simple and say it was FIFA) had decided to add a new rules in overtime : golden goal. The idea is simple enough, if you score you directly win. If no one score during 30 minutes overtime is over and you go to penalty kicks as always. And so Trezeguet score this amazing horizontal volley and France won the Euro. Referring to the story I told before, in France we made a joke : Do you know how to reseal a bottle of champagne ? Ask Italians. 6:20 Netherlands had lost against Spain in World Cup final 2010 (the winner goal of Iniesta is on the begining of the video), and meet them in group stage on the next World Cup in 2014. They won 5-1 against the World Cup defending champions, who beat them in final. That is a massive upset 7:25 He definitely pushed him. But that's allowed in football, we call that shoulder against shoulder. Ok in that example that's more the arm than shoulders but this is totally inside the limits of what is allowed. Especially in England where referee are more open to physical plays. 7:59 Bale scored this bicycle in the Champions League 2018 final. That's by far the most important competition in club football, the final is the equivalent of superball. So this is not only an impressive bicycle kick, but one scored in the most important game of the year. 8:08 Inter Milan won the champion's league in 2010 thanks to this goal of Diego Milito in final. The coach was Jose Mourinho and his team was playing what we could call "anti-football", most focus on perfect positioning, great defending, fight spirit and devastating counter attack. They beat very huge team at the times as Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Chelsea. This is Jose Mourinho masterclass ! 9:02 The player is Juninho, an amazing Brazilian who played for Lyon in France. He is known to be one of (if not THE) best free kick shooter. He could score from every position, like in the side or from more than 40 yards far. He scored 77 free kicks in his carrer, for example Messi scored 63, Beckham 65, C Ronaldo 60... If I may try an other NBA comparison his free kicks was like Lillard logo threes ... cheated ! 10:00 This free kicks allow England to qualify for 2002 world cup and was shot in the last second of the game. A very clutch moment ! 10:30 The defender is Boateng, known to be one of the best defender at the time. A very iconic moment ! 11:10 That's true, the Juventus stadium stand up to congrats C Ronaldo after this amazing goal, while Juventus was loosing in Champion's League quarter final. That's very rare and touched Ronaldo so much that he signed for Juventus the year after. 13:45 Well done to talk about the difficulty of the control. Most of neophytes doesn't see that. Just go on field, throw the ball very high and try to make it glue to your feet. You will see how those guys are aliens ! 17:25 Ronaldinho didn't had so many injuries but he liked the life ... A lot of party ... he was even in prison for a few months (and won a football tournament there). Let's say he didn't had a lifestyle compatible with high level, especially after winning the 2005 Ballon d'or. But still he played for 17 years and never stop entertainment. He was so cool to watch, able to score amazing goal, doing physical impossible tricks, ... In 2005 Barcelona won the classico 0-3 in Madrid and it was his masterpiece, so much that Real Madrid fans stand up (as I said this is pretty rare, especially between rivals clubs like Barcelona and Madrid) 17:50 Zidane score this horizontal volley in Champions League 2002 final. This is the game winner goal. 19:16 Puskas was an amazing scorer, maybe the best of all time. That's hard to say because he played a long time ago but he but he definitely left his mark on the game as there is a trophee each year given to the most beautiful goal of the year, named after his name. 19:20 Zidane 2006 world cup is just legendary. You already spoke about his red card in final, but the man was 34 years, had already took his retreat from clubs and every one (especially Spains) was saying that he was too old. At the end he did several masterclass, for example in this game against an amazing brazil with Roberto Carlos, Robinho, Kaka, Juninho, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Adriano, ... Brazil got 4 Ballon d'or in their team and still Zidane was the most "brazilian" (understanding skilled, impressive, entertaining) player in the field. 20:05 The player is Lillian Thuram, a French right wing defender. He scored 13 goals in his 18 years club career. He played 142 games for France and scored only 2 goals, in the same game, against Croatia in 1998 during the World Cup semi final, allowing France to win 2-1 and go to the final. Such a funny story like only football can offer. 24:20 This is the 1998 world cup final. In one side you got Brazil, 4th time world cup winner at the time, defending champion and probably the best world team of the era (they won in 1994, go to final in 1998, won in 2002). On the other side you got France who didn't won any world cup before ... And the result is 3-0 for France, who was the host team, with 2 headers goals of Zidane. An amazing uppset and one moment all French will remember for ever. 24:30 20 years later France won his second world cup with Mbappe and Pogba. Fun fact the France coach in 2018 (and still today) is Deschamps who was captain of the 1998 team. He also was the captain of Marseille in 1993, the only French club who has ever won the champions league. He also was the coach of Monaco in 2004 when they lost in Champion's league final, being only one of the 3 French club to reach the final. He was not a very entertaining player, more defensive middfield, but he definitively is one of the most important man in France football history prooving that highlights are not the more important in sports ! 24:45 The commentary is the French guy Thierry Roland, now passed away. He says, during the 1998 France title : "I think after seeing that, we can die quietly. I mean as late as possible but we can." Very strong words that eco with the start of the video. Rest in peace Thierry.

18:48 another context for the miracle of Istanbul. Liverpool (red) was 0-3 down by Milan (white). To put into perspective, how hard or how improbable to come back from 3 goals in a half is quite similar to Patriots 3-28 Falcons in Super Bowl 2017.

They heroically pull back 2 deficit goals and win the title. At first people think they bottle it because after 90 minutes the score is 2-1 for QPR (the opponent). then 2 goals by Dzeko (92') and Aguero (94") seal them the Premier league title If they somehow make Lewandowski movie, I already know what the OST for that movie. It is the one from Black Eyed peas. I got a feeling that tonight gonna be a good good night lol

If you just knew how hard it is to do what Berkamp did and scored, that was the GOAT move

[@thunderwplf1078]

Maradona also said that he wanted to score against england again but with his other hand

Cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 You kissed Garrincha, just before Puskas. Garrincha the greatest dribbler ever ! Viva o dragão rubro-negro. Saudações do Atlético Goianiense

[@user-em1ig7xo9d]

Love the videos as always Luke, but I feel like you’re still missing so much context from these moments. Like the Gotze World Cup final goal, Bales bicycle kick in the champions league final, Beckhams free kick in the dying seconds to take England through to the euros etc etc

[@ThibautPerrin]

What's make Zinédine Zidane really unique imho is that after being a really great player he became a amazing coach. Winning 3 UEFA Champions League in a row managing Real Madrid.

[@PattisKarriereKarten]

As a german I just wanted to add that Kahn is a legend of 90s football at least. I'm not sure if he compares to Beckenbauer, but he's definitely somewhere up there as one of the best goalkeepers of his time, only to be (in my opinion) topped by Manuel Neuer who is the last goalkeeper I watched on the german national team. Google says he has been replaced by Marc Andre ter Stegen, who I don't really know though. I remember watching the game where Germany beat Brazil 7:1 - it was unbelievable. I just remember sitting there with a friend in disbelief, especially because we were nervous about Brazil, having soccer legends in their team. Unfortunately I think this video leaves out lots of german goals. I think the goal Götze scored when they won the World Cup only was shown a fraction of a second. The game was unbelievably nerve-wrecking.... Of course Messi is great, but it's boring only to see him all the time when there have been other great football players, especially from Germany. Bastian Schweinsteiger (who famously got badly injured in a final and continued to play anyway) was only shown a second, Thomas Müller was left out basically entirely and Toni Kroos who is very respected and plays fantastic football in Spain was nowhere to be seen. PS: You really should react to Manuel Neuer's greatest goalkeeps or something, that'll be great 😀 PPS: Actually there are a lot of those videos to find on youtube, just checked.

[@jdevlin1910]

Did my man see the Newcastle game? We did it! Champions league football next season. I was up nearly all night watching all the videos come in from inside and outside the stadium as the city went mental. Lots of sore heads around today 🤣 The Toon Review, Newcastle Fans TV, Adam Pearson and Magpie Channel TV all have great videos on the celebrations. Also look out for the massive Tifo spread around the stadium before the game, I know y'all enjoying those.

[@Isleofskye]

If ever fans deserved success it is Newcastle. They used to take thousands to the other end of the Country for Away games 50 years ago and in lower divisions.

[@jayk9662]

I'm a Bournemouth fan so it makes me happy to see Eddie Howe doing so well. Congratulations, hope you guys smash it next year

[@jdevlin1910]

@@jayk9662 We're so impressed with the man, it's clear why him and his team achieved everything they did at Bournemouth. the preparation, development, communication with the press and supporters is all top draw and you can see him constantly learning and adapting himself as well as the passion he has for the club already. I hope he's here for decades.

Greece 2004 is literally a non-story, compared to Denmark 1992. We literally won the tournament without even qualifying!

[@riddhesh5541]

10:25 This is the most Iconic match in premier league history. Agueroooooo 📢📢

[@MrBIooder]

19:16 Right before this match, the press was mocking Zidane for being too old for the sport and he was near retirment. He grabbed the ball and gave Brazil a 90 minute lesson on how to play football. It gets overshadowed by the headbutt in the final, but he schooled the World Champions at the time.

[@nicolassoares2856]

I think most of these goals shown in the video are more about context than the goal itself. Of course sometimes they both amazing and historically important. Most of the contexts should be explained to understand the complete beautiness of the goal

[@bxnjaminyeo]

I actually didnt mind the pauses, its cool that u take time out to explain things and talk....instead of talking alot and missing things in the video

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

7:15 Neymar is always gonna be remembered for that rolling shit he pulled

[@jonntischnabel]

With the zidane headbutt, you didn't mention that it was the world cup final, and his last game! 😂

[@johnchristmas7522]

One of the best teams ever, Barcelona. In their hayday nobody could touch them. If your going to Barcelona, a visit to Camp Neu is a must. Take a tour and see the huge stadium and trophy room, amazing. If the game is in Barcelona, then your in for a treat. Because the whole city becomes football mad, every phone i-pad, cafe, taxi rank , all watch the match from outside the stadium (those who could not get tickets) Total take over of the city! Enjoy! I'm not Spanish just a Brit who has been to Barcelona a few times.

[@mvinyl3484]

I was at that England game when we qualified for Japan....it was just as good watching the Germans fall to their knees on the big screen at old Trafford when they realised England scored in the last minute.....Maradonna is the GOAT.....wasn't surrounded by all the greatest players in the world all his career....Napoli had never won anything until he signed

[@LanderForPresident]

Messi hase seen it, when you didn't even think of it. This is by far the best to ever play this game so far! Absolute legend!

[@chrisellis3797]

A lot of these require context and prior knowledge of the events to get the full impact. The ones where it's your own team or a legend you respected it just hits different

[@Richie8406]

17:30 Ronaldinho is the GOAT. For the peps who saw him live, he was the most fun and the last of his gen. Money came in and focus shifted to just score the goals. The last inspired are Zlatan and CR7 when they are young, then there is a flatline. No Player, plays with the ball like Ronadinho did. You can check all these players on yt and compare to now. If you want a show, go back in time. If you want machines, watch contemporary

[@dene39]

Technically rooneys is an over head kick. Bicycle kick would be facing forward, both feet off the ground in approximately the same position as pedals on a bike.

[@gregevans7715]

Need to react to the AGUERROOOOOOOOOOO goal. Unbelievable story behind it

[@Serryy]

Not only did Germany humiliate Brazil 7-1 in semis, at half-time their coach told them to cool it with the goals. And Miroslav Klose overtook (brazilian striker) Ronaldos world cup goal record. It was a good day for Germany, a bad day for Brazil. Even ended up winning the world cup in the finale, but have paid a high price in the world cups since.

[@vistiilmore7735]

You should react to greatest commentaries. Its very promising.

[@falt.a7350]

If search for the goat.. Watching all the old footage ov Luis Nazario de lima.. Or Ronaldo fenomeno R9... I've played football for 25years... I can assure you he is the greatest have walk on the field... Belive me (I'm Juventus fan)... But despite evryone saing Messi or Pele or Maradona.... Ronaldo was an E.T .... I've played in low series in Italy for long time.... And wen I've a opportunity I go ever ever to stadium 🏟️.... In the 90s.... Watching him, Baggio Totti Vanbasten Gullit and only one time Maradona!!!!!!! But R9 was out of this world!!!!

[@cs3473]

I personally think the "AGUEROOOOOOO!!!!!" goal is one of the most astonishing finishes to a season that I have seen. That goal gave Manchester City, its first Premier League Title. The team prior to that moment had been known as a hard luck team (until they got purchased by a Persian Gulf Oil State). City was in a neck and neck race with its cross town rival Manchester United for the Championship. City had to win to claim the championship. The team City was facing, Queens Park Rangers had a significant number of Man City castoffs who had something to prove against their old team, and were also fighting to avoid relegation. To further increase the drama, Man City were down 2-1 as the game went into stoppage time. City scored two goals to win the game in stoppage time, which included Aguero's goal in the closing moments of the match.

[@cs3473]

Luke, I have to apologize about the "Eye Roll" comment (which I have removed) - I have seen other videos where when the Aguero Goal is mentioned produces some measure of consternation and derision (likely from Man United Fans).

[@santigonza0852]

22:15 Another thing to point out is that argentina (brazil's biggest rival) reached the final of the WC2014 and could've won the tournament in brazil's home. That would have been the biggest humilliation in their history, even more than losing 7-1 against germany at home. Luckily for them (sadly for me and all argentinians) argentina lost that final against germany. You may also enjoy reacting to different derbies and international rivalries.

[@uppyraptor49]

Casemiro against bournemouth 20yh of may did a brilliant bicycle kick

[@kimbirch1202]

You should do some UEFA Champions League finals. As a Man Utd fan , my favorite was the 1999 final against Bayern Munich. We were 1 - 0 down and 90 mins had passed, but scored two in 3 minutes of stoppage time. I lost a false tooth in a crowded pub, cheering.

[@uppyraptor49]

The WORLD cup trophy is solid gold

[@zactrejo]

Leciester actually won their second year in the prem, not their first. I think they finished lower mid table in the first

[@TheMrBusty]

right

[@Isleofskye]

This is the sequence of events. 1/ As you said they got Promoted. 2/Their FIRST season up they were bottom for 90% of the season and were 1/100 to get relegated i.e You put $100 to win $1 but, incredibly, having won 2/27 they won around 7 or 8 games out of the last 10 and stayed up on the final day. The Manager who saved them departed, hastily(under a cloud), and 65-year-old Raiieri(sacked from his 3 previous jobs) so 5,000/1 over the 38 games and you know the rest

[@sandro3747]

24:46 yes Germany won 2014 World Cup :)

[@maurirock87]

I think you should have included a bunch of goals scored by Del Piero, for example the one scored againts Fiorentina in 1994 or the one scored against Borussia Dortmund in 1996 and 1998. Also I would have included Ibrahimovic goal when he was playing for Ajax. Also few goals from Roberto Baggio and Totti should have been included (Serie A ,from the 80's to the 00' was the best leuage by far') 😊

[@kalleanka7534]

I feel like you have learnt alot man, alot

[@tevlar]

I would say you already know more about football than 90% of football fans. Most people know alot about their club and nothing else. Also knowing the year thinhgs happened is top notch. I would definatly watch a video about Johan Cruyff. He is the player that Barcelona has built their style around. He is also one of the few players that has a dribble named after him. Juninho is considered the best freekick taker of all time and could be good to watch aswell. Actually, watching a video with different dribbles/shots/passes named after players would be cool, like the Panenka.

[@ryanfebrianto8973]

2:39 so to put some contexts Marco Materazzi ( the one who got head butted) keep pulling Zidane's on the game So Materazzi didn't just herrass his mother but also his little sister So here what they were talking ( not exact word for word ) Zidane: if you want my shirt I can give you after the game Materazzi: nope, I want your sister Then Zidane snapped

[@Bowleskov]

When it comes to England vs Argentina at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, this is 4 years after Argentina had invaded the Falkland Islands (Las Malvinas) and Britain had taken them back, and then those 2 goals from Maradona, one a wonder dribble, the other the Hand Of God. Argentina won that World Cup but England's Gary Lineker won the Golden Boot that year. Watching videos like this shows you how good the NFL has always been at its media, realistically the reason so many moments before 1992 are international moments in these videos is that FIFA started to exert control over it's TV rights from 1974 and the national leagues left control with the broadcasters so the footage was only ever meant for live coverage. La Liga and the Premier League really only got on top of this in the late 90's with the other top flight leagues following. Now you know the Romance how about some film reacts Victory (1981) featuring Pele, Ossie Ardiles, Bobby Moore would seem a good place to start WWII Allied War prisoners plan an escape in Paris against the German national team, Sly Stallone is the Allied teams keeper and Michael Caine is the Coach/Captain. Goal (2005) and Fever Pitch (1997) are two other easy places to start whilst Mike Bassett: England Manager (2001) is an absolute farce.

[@jacksmith4460]

13:03 This is not quite right , the season they got promoted, they escaped relegation on the last day, the season AFTER they were 5000-1 to win the Prem and won it regarding he Coach the first prem season they had Pearson who did well to keep them up, they sacked him and appointed Ranieri, who was not "rando"/"random" he was one of the best coaches in Europe and it was a shock that Leicester got such a highly rated coach and he won the league the season after, and then the season after that...was sacked. The whole 3 years was madness

[@joaquinmendizabal8531]

If you want to see historic moments in football outside de UEFA or WC, you got to check out "copa intercontinental" that was a cup that matched the UEFA Champions League champion an the Copa Libertadores champion (conmebol) and there are some good stories, like the Boca Juniors win against the Real Madrid Galacticos in 2000

[@smooji466]

You missed Johan Cruyff when you guys where talking about the goats, might not be the GOAT but certainly is a man who also made great impact on the sport. Would like to see you react to him if you haven’t already.

[@lukessportsacademy]

Cruyff is well over due on my channel. I’ve been intending to feature him for months

[@jens2049]

Cruijf is one of the goats. Aso, Bergkamp did not push that guy

[@julianvivas2895]

The hand of god had to do with the Falklands war as well. England had recently beat Argentina in the falklands war.

[@manuelbassotto6328]

I know you really like messi. so to put into context . A part of messi's history is the embodiment of a say we have in argentina about football, "hay que saber sufrir" somethig like "have to know how to suffer". you can be the best ever. but is going to be hard. like law of life haha. If you ever do a video on his carrer in the national team you'll see
