Why would Western viewers care when their nation/club aren't being represented? Lol. Some may watch it out of interest, but you honestly cannot expect an entire hemisphere of people to jump up and follow passionately. Differing time-zones don't help that much either. As for the World Cup, well, again, your nation is involved, you want them to do well and go far, so you might be more willing to stay up and watch them play. Australia will always be involved in this competition and always has coverage and a following here, probably far greater than the States. The sole reason why many Non-European nations follow big European clubs religiously is because of clever marketing, selling their brands to people. These people are seen as "plastic fans" or "glory hunters". Remember, Football today is far bigger and more globally watched than it was about 20 years ago. The pundits are failing here as they aren't doing a good enough job to sell the competition to its presumably small fanbase in the U.S. Most European people already have passion for a club deeply entrenched in them coming from towns, cities and countries with centuries worth of Football teams well established. On a side note, these competitions also happen mid-season, pulling key players from their clubs which hampers the club's progress in their respective leagues. Again, most people follow their club far more religiously than their national team, so this matters a lot. Just a few things to consider.

The word you're looking for is "ignorant"

[@thsimpsonsguy]

"Have Iraq won the world cup? We'll look it up" NO WAY LMAOO

[@Alexander-kc8oq]

How can you be *this* unprepared when covering an international tournament? Or any football competition?

[@yddubbud8229]

why even do the show if they know nothing?

[@alexcox3448]

As someone who has watched the aleague with Simon Hills commentary for many years its great to see him get recognition!

[@mikehawk8685]

he's so underrated !!!

[@rakhmathadita3917]

03:50 they only know iraq for Saddam

[@alfonsstekebrugge8049]

Video is completely valid. I mean it is to be expected that people don't know everything, but there is a bar one ought not drop below and no matter where we feel this bar must be, this is well under it.

[@JamesBuschell]

As a Korean, yes, yes there's a cultural rivalry. Read a book.

[@LittleIker19]

I literally just read about comfort women less than two weeks ago. Great work man. Keep it up!

[@samogotamo]

I do listen to morning footy quite regularly. I wish they did more due dilligence with their punditry.

[@learningvideosbynikhil8308]

9:00 yes the one who called the legendary Australia Uruguay game for SBS…my word that was a great moment

[@LivingDeadPunker]

The arrogance of that show. If. I know Asia has not been taking seriously be the west in a long time but god damn. If you dont know anything about the tournament, you shouldnt be the ones talking about it. Im not even american but that have me a level of embarrassing i didnt know was possible

[@rode8173]

You nailed it. Bamm! Great job

[@karellen4913]

The knowledge of these Americans about how good a team is at playing soccer (or more accurately, football) depends on 1. How much do they know about that country and 2. How rich that country is. I mean, "Is this Iraq's biggest win?" Lmao

[@superninja252]

Dudes are bad indeed, but Spccer term was created in England based on the official name of sport, Association Football

[@upisntdownsilly]

@@superninja252yeah, and the modern day American accent resembles the British accent from a century ago too, and the imperial system that Americans use was created by the British 500 years ago, the point is, while everyone has moved on to better, more efficient and unified forms of communication and measurement, why hasn’t the USA?

[@lasvegaslights5276]

I feel bad for the one guy who actually knows something and then there's just the other 3 idiots

[@pert-smith]

The fact that I have a degree in Sports Communications and a masters in Sports Management. I’ve studied sport, in particular football, all over the world and I still can’t get a look from an American sports media company to do football work. Genuinely pains me watching things like this.

[@africareigns]

Have you approached every football club of all divisions? A friend of mine did just that after getting an journalism degree. He got a 3 month stint at Championship side and eventually got a job at Man City. As a result applied and got offers st Sky, BBC and ITV Sport. It took about 18 months from graduation.

[@TheFallorn]

They didn’t only fail to find the right experts, they didn’t find any!

[@jose.m11]

I will say. Morning Footy is comprised of a charistmatic host, an ex-MLS Player, a Comedian, and an actual Pundit. Seeing Maxwell melting over a bad joke was funny to see ngl

[@chetmanley5031]

Bless you for making this video

[@Shadowgrace760]

Respectfully, the causal fan isn’t following the Asian Cup. I’ve heard more about AFCON than the Asian cup anywhere. Edit: UK based TalkSPORT as far as I can tell hasn’t even mentioned it.

[@PK-ts8iz]

What difference does that make? Silly comment. These people are paid to make these segments and they seem like a bunch of idiots who only just discovered the continent of Asia exists. The casual fan isn't expected to know any of this, sure, because the Asian Cup isn't a super popular tournament. Many of my Korean and Australian friends barely care about this tournament either. But they know that there is something between Korea and Japan (and if you didn't, that doesn't make it better, it just confirms that you as an individual are an idiot)

[@NmpK24]

Probably because theres only a few well known Premier League players involved in the Asian Cup.

[@jaredlee6602]

American broadcasts over football hurt me to watch when compared to European ones. I watch American Football and I enjoy those broadcasts, but as soon as a sport isn’t “American” the quality goes out the door in my opinion

[@ChrisRD526]

American commentary is something I will never listen too. I rather listen to British commentary.

[@brohdez8857]

Brits are diehard supporters of Football. Ofc anyone will choose them over Americans

[@Mashmarriner69]

Well, yea. If you know your history. You would know it's definitely a rivalry.

[@nananou1687]

Maqwell gives us a history lesson, quite rightfully as a therapy session in order to avoid talking about Vietnam 😭

[@jebeeybepeey7825]

that jersey looks nice. texture looks comfy and emblem very solid

[@himthatis6698]

First time I've seen one of your videos, but I could feel your pain. That "show" was breathtaking in how embarrassing it was. My cringe was only lessened by the sympathy I had for your torment.

[@Spike-zk6fx]

7.8 did they cut the poor dudes arm off or sum

[@almightysosa3007]

Embarrassed as an OCSC fan that that man represents our fan base. We have a very dedicated fan base for such a small club, especially as a USL club.

[@jeremypearson6852]

I moved from the UK to US in 1983, when there was basically zero coverage of football on US TV. The 1984 WC was my first intro to American commentators and I basically muted the sound, because it was so dumbed down. The commentary has gotten better, but I still much prefer UK commentary because I know they do their homework and are well versed on the teams. CBS does a great show on CBS.

[@jeremypearson6852]

Sorry, I meant 1986 WC.

[@DavidRiver709]

As a italian Mexican I'm happy that i actually know about Football i always correct my friends when they called it soccer 🤣🤣

[@lavenderoh]

Why? Soccer is ENGLISH, the people who invented the sport called it that first and most of the world still does.

[@harukrentz435]

0:51 love his confused face look coz i also didnt quite catch it the first time i heard it either 🤣

[@jeffwang7305]

The fact that back in 2022 when US announced a friendly vs Japan and a bunch of Americans were saying on twitter that they thought Japanese players were rice farmers kinda says a lot about how much they care about anything that didn't happen in the US.

[@j.ackermann9110]

I'd like to know if those people could even point out the coutries mentioned on a map. Probably not.

[@1969ES175]

I can’t believe you brought up comfort women in a conversation about soccer. It’s 2024. No one brings up the holocaust when Germany plays, or the Atomic bomb or napalm bombing when the US plays. But Japan, oh no we have to bring up history because it’s the only thing we’ve been taught.

[@wanr5701]

The sins of your grandfathers are not for yours to carry. So I totally agree with you. Why should the current generation must be held responsible for something that happen way before they was born? Why should the media fan up all the flames from the past towards the current and future generations?

[@1969ES175]

@@wanr5701 yes, but they were not even “sins”. It was the age of empires. Everybody who could went around the world conquering, looting, and murdering. And those who couldn’t were conquered, looted, and murdered. Why should it have been different for Japan?

[@wanr5701]

@@1969ES175 i can only think that they are so insecure and having lots of inferiority complex within them, that they need to be reminded constantly about the past that the world is against them. Too bad.

[@joaopedroleite8998]

These kinds of matters are brought all the time in soccer, if you doubt just look at the Balkan scene, no one brings holocaust when Germany plays, maybe is because Germany went through a long and painful process of getting rid of the semblance of nazism that could possibly exist in the country and constantly apologizes for the holocaust. Japan not so much.

This Is football man, a national game is just a way to remind us why we hate each other.
