Most ten year olds in the UK would embarrass this guy
Agreed
Facts
Not bragging but easily I would
Not even good, I don't even train bit I'd do better
Most in the US would as well. This generation in the US is the first to have parents who played football as a kid so the older generation is mostly below average as the only way they were taught was out of a book
before he learns to take his free kick they need to teach him to kick it correctly, he keeps hitting it with his toe
Christipher White in my country we call that kick a bozo
They never really explained anything of value to him. Theres no need to canon blast the ball every time, sometimes an easy chip is all you need but this is the states so its pretty much amateurs teaching a begginer anyway.
Tom Erskine we call it a mbontsi in south africa
Toe punt or toe poke in UK
Christipher White well that is how an average guy kicks a ball.
Wtf is this.. if you’re South American or European, a little part of you died seeing this guy “shoot” a ball..
Guayaquil Independiente or even if you are American. Kind of embarrassing
Africans: am I a joke to u?
Bruh I am African American but raised in America but this is real bad I am world class compared to him and I am 13
Central America
x_vxgue Central America.... is a joke? If so, I agree with you. Not a single good player, and much less a decent national team has come out of that place, so no, you can’t compare yourself to anyone half decent, which is surely the guy in the video compared to you or your people.
You should definitely do a Average Joe vs MMA fighter. See how well you can do vs a pro after a month of training.
just watch a CM punk fight.
Have him fighting against CM Punk
@@FinnishFlash17 RIP CM Punk
You want him dead?! lol
@@Mori_the_Chad No I dont want anyone to die but it would be an interesting process to watch and show fans what all goes into that type of training and skill. The MMA Pro doesnt have to kill him in the end to prove anything...
Wait, so my man didn't score any practice freekick but then decided he was ready
😂😂😂😂😂
He used his toe every single time Ik my man was injured after
He ran out of time 😭
He score by accident
It's a show kid relax.
If this guy is average then I’m world class 😂
No. He's the world's best player, man. Don't disrespect him. 🤣🤣
It says hes above average🤣🤣🤣
So you’re an world class person? Cause it said nothing about above average player?
It says that he is an average guy, not average player
soccer (football) was only truly inturduced to the United States in the 70s and it only became popular in the 90s. when you do this to American soccer it slows it development rate and destroys confidence of anyone who does have a chance'
This is SO frustrating to see his shooting technic haha
Drey agreed he lost all the tips he was given and ended up scoring lol
@@wilsybhoy Im more upset with his wall. Boy had the easy header save and he ducked
It’s frustrating to see your writings
wtf is "technic"
When he said “Do you just communicate with your wall?” I facepalmed soooooo hard.
Me too broo I was like your wall😲
In that time I skipped to end of the video
@@lucasgermano9322 😂😂🤞
it wasnt that long ago when you could have your own players in the wall
He is below avarage for Europe
Even the "pro" keeper is below average
You mean for everywhere else, except the US
he's way below average for brazil
Isn't that the whole point of the video?
@@vikfk basically what he is saying is that the "pro goalkeeper" isnt even good enough to even be an average goalkeeper in Europe.
An average American isn’t even as good as a European toddler
DeZe YT An average American isn't even as good as a South American fetus
Lol, very true! Also hilarious to watch a European throw something!
Not even as good as a hungry African zygote
@@RizaldoMullings i'm brazilian and i can confirm that
DeZe YT can u stfu acting like use won’t become good in a few years we have really good young players
If those are pro goalkeepers, I should move to the US and make a living out of goalkeeping
he said he played until high school smh
nvm lmao
Yeah he didn’t even dive
Crazy thought guys... he wasn’t trying... how hard is that to grasp
Michael De La O where?
*Hits the girl with the ball*
Few seconds later...
"One of those felt really good"
Hard
He did hit his "enemy"
Never seen a more unnatural freekick 😂😂
🚫🧢
This guy thought the wall was in the same team as the person taking the free kick 💀🤦♂️
and he was the goalie!
That logic makes no sense. Why would your own team make it harder for you to score?
Emile Willaerts I was blown away
R R you can do that btw. the second he shoots you duck and it becomes easier for him
What he said would be true if he was talkin bout the other type of football lol
watching average Americans trying to kick a ball lol
Adam Ebanks yeah. As an American, these people embarrass me.
Men dont play soccer here, our girls do. If soccer was our number 1 sport not 5th-7th then we would be kicking everyones asses like we do in the Olympics with medals.
@@SuperReviews4you sure you would buddy
That's why they play "football" with their hands
soccer (football) was only truly inturduced to the United States in the 70s and it only became popular in the 90s. when you do this to American soccer it slows it development rate and destroys confidence of anyone who does have a chance
The new york red bulls coach actually gave him some really good tips
Everytime he kicked the ball i jumped lool he’s technique is appalling
And your english is just as good. Its his* btw
@Member of the universe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no.
www.normpvc.com/TR/
@Member of the universe He wrote "its" instead of "it's" because it's faster... You are the one who's wrong
Manuel Sousa he accused the other person of a minute grammatical error and then got called out for one himself so how is that guy wrong
People all mad at the goalie, the dude wasnt even trying
How would you know? Maybe he is really trash
Mats he didn’t dive at all and honestly just walked also the walls literally was dodging the ball
@@mysstal7216 so? He could still be really trash
@@MxtsoeV2 Hes not trash.
Douglas Bailey HES way beyond trash
Neuer wouldn't have moved & still caught the shot
ruclips.net/video/NghgEgCpMCE/видео.html
Yes
Pro goalie? Lol. That goalie is afraid of touching the ground.
Technically you are a pro if you get paid, doesn't have to mean ur good
meep meep pro means professional...means your really good at something...
Alexis A. Morell he’s not trying why would he ruin his career for a challenge he didn’t even bend down to go for the ball he just stood straight with his heels
Blert Shala ... loool ... ruining his career with a mid-high dive on a sunny day on a perfect pitch and no opponents near him. Get outta here, if he as a pro can't do a basic no-brainer for any European amateur keeper under perfect and favorable conditions without hurting himself, he chose the wrong sport.
rob robson shut up you sound dumb.
it’s cause the wall literally ducked under the ball
michael ikr if he was a player in a real game they wouldve headed it and he wouldve resigned for missing 11 free kicks 😂
sometimes u don't jump bc u might get a ronaldinho shot sneaking under the wall, but more importantly this really isn't that serious hahah
One tried to to use his elbow. 😂😂
@@joeboxerrr But they ducked.
@@joeboxerrr He's not as good as Ronaldinho tho he isn't even as good as Mustafi
No one can appreciate the fact that this man wanted to learn something and actually prevailed. His goal was to score on a pro keeper and he did it. Not to be the best in the world.
yea lol this entire series is about him basically learning sports in mere hours and trying to go against pros, international viewers are just so snobby and mad that soccer is the one sport amercans arent unanimously the best at thats majorly played within the country
The hate in the comment section is mind blowing lmao - it’s supposed to be a fun video
hate? Its the truth
Average soccer fan
Soccer fans stay angry
"PRO" goalkeepers usually dive i think😳
you would think, but he isn't much of a pro is he?
He is a good pro keeper....but why should he give 100% effort for this clip
"Do you communicate to the wall that you want to go under them so they can jump" I fckn lost it at that point lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ajayvir Bhangu my brain fried when I heard him say that lmao
who would win?
Like- Vikkstar
Reply- this guy
Vikkstar would win
Legends Unite your so dumb for commenting
Im not liking but vick is better
Encrypted _ that’s the joke
Vikk is sick
That's how Marcus alonso got into chelsea
Everything he was taught went in the bin
everything the pro Americans know about football. He knows it already, ready to go in the League there.
Literally 🤣🤣
This guy wouldn’t score against a Sunday league keeper 😂
Or a toddler for that matter
Oscar he can’t even score with no goalkeeper
Oscar he wouldn’t score against a u7 keeper😂😂😂
..... but he did score... against a professional goalkeeper....
Johnny Klasing you say professional but he don’t play like a professional🤭
Every European: Ugh I feel sick watching this 😂
yo even a striker from europe is better than that goal keeper
tru say bro
Sooooooo true
gotta say it was painful to watch =))
i did too, but i am american
now I seem “crazy”
the trainers: just don’t lean back
him: 399 folding chair
14:43 he had that 10 year old "i scored against my dad" confidence
Legend says that the 11 shots were never completed
All the American goal keeper I know, can take a good free kick, this guy is just really bad.
ol_ Shosh Yea, like the title states he is an average guy
Spends a week learning better technique, gets to the actual challenge and goes back to the way he was kicking at the start 🤦🏽♂️
Riley Walls Americans aren’t known for being bright
@@notsocooldude7720 that's just racist bro
@@gourfish9311 American history dosent seem racist at all
Rbles Del Rosario how can y’all just marginalize Americans like that, this man probably ain’t even racist and neither are all Americans. Even if this man was racist, racism can’t be stopped with more racism that’s just counterproductive making it worse 😐
Not So Cool Dude lmao europeans sure needed our help in both World Wars. Germany kicked y’alls asses a little too hard and maybe you bumped your head and forgot soccer isn’t an American sport and most Americans give 0 fucks about it.
Day 5 and this guy completely forgot all the drills Danny told him
“You have to communicate that to your wall right”
“Uh…it’s the other team…”
How did the player control his laughter I would’ve rolled on the ground 🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
" shoot with the laces "
"Okay"
Laceless boots: am I a joke to you?
Yup they pretty much are
❤️
Lmao
It just means hit the ball with the middle of the cleats
Turco Baller they are called “BOOTS IM SCOTTISH MY COUNTRY MADE FOOTBALL OK”
They says it's a Pro Goalie, but then it's MLS.. Im confused.
MLS is pro...
ArchimedesV2.0 people so clueless, USL and up is pro😂 I’m glad you know!
MLS is pro in America , like baseball you say professional baseball player , same for futbol in america
The joke went above yalls head, he’s saying the MLS is trash
@@BizzBizz69 /r/whoosh
Very generous calling yourself average, maybe an average American 😂 this was sad to watch
hard tackle
@@drey9003 lets watch average europeans try to run through a nfl middle linebacker
@@KenJMLG id like to see an average american run at all
@@SnoreProtection That's depressing, and luckily not true.
A H destruction
I laughed so hard when he asked if he should tell the wall to jump 😂
All these guys talking about how he is below an average player. The title says average guy, so they just mean someone average who probably never played too much football. Dont be so negative yall
This is below average in general
USA average perhaps, but most of the world plays football and the average would be better than this guy.
@@mtrps_ not really
Let's be honest here: There's just WORLDS of difference between US average guys and rest of the world average guys. In most countries in the world, chances are you've kicked a ball before. How many of us Europeans have ever tried to hit a baseball or thrown a football? I know I have, but I've always been a sucker for all kinds of sports. I'm not average.
@@nosir3807 yes really
4:02 “Cut that out”
Editor: No I dont think i will
after watching this dude's 3 point shootout, he makes every sport look hard haha
"You have to communicate this to your wall, right?"
"No, it's the other team".
Reminds me of this news guy asking Schweinsteiger whether Chicago FC (or whatever their irrelevant name is) "could win the World Cup?" (blank stare.... WTF???)
Player : "Breathes"
Skipper(GQ) : "You know i played keeper back in the day."
This is really a 3 minute just dragged out video skip to 12:46 to see what you came for
Not all hero’s were capes...
🥺 appreciate it
Carefully he's a hero.
Thanks
Cheers
Him : "hit it with your laces"
his boots : "I have no lace...."
He knew deep down he wasn’t an “average” guy
Pretty sure the keeper wasn’t even trying 😂 probably felt bad for him
Him -“ First take”
The ball rolling in the background-“am I a joke to you?”
💀😭😂
If this guy above average, im a Legend
Have you seen an average American? We’re as wide as we are tall.
Me: I'll learn something new
Brain: losing cells by the second
The wall is supposed to block the shot on that side and everyone ducked lmao
It all depends on technique and not how hard you kick the ball.
To an extent
It’s better to have a powerful shot because then you can learn the technique which is easy to learn
I mean, his approach was to run as hard as hard as possible and then just launching it. I don't understand why he thought sprinting into a free kick would work.
@@verti_8907 no, power comes with technique. If you learn to hit the ball properly that has so much more value than swing a heavy leg
Pea kz placement is everything depending on distance. Takes time for them too see the ball over walls the ball is most likely already over the walls head before a goalie can react most of the time at least, but obviously distance matter anything under 27 yards it’s all about placement.
The keeper literally let your shot in my guy 😂
11:00 forgets everything he learned
The whole time I just kept thinking “stop leaning back!!!”
Leaning back is very important.
leonardo carvalho almeida not that back
@@leozinca1720 if you want to win the cross bar challenge, yes, very important
and stop running at it head on
This man said he’s just an above average joe and couldn’t even score in an open goal
Yeah above average joe, not an above average football player
Mats hes the worst ive ever Seen
Jay Jay he’s not that bad 😂😂😂
Jacob Flynn as a german i say he is
3:40 that handshake was CLEAAAAAN
i like how even the wall is making room for the ball to go in haha
You skipped the whole week day not just leg day
Just to clarify I’m an American who is disgusted by this guy’s technique too... you europeans aren’t alone 😂
A 4 year old European would’ve defeated this guy like seventy - nil
Boudewijn Gommeren true
I’m a Canadian and even I’m appalled
@@dtoskar Nope. Try again.
Same bro
9:40 visible confusion
I subscribed because of the thing you said about the wall...good point. Communication is a must!
American: Plays football
Everyone else in the world: Wait, that's illegal
Yeah. Americans suck at soccer. They have only won 3 of the last 4 gold medals in olympic soccer lol
Top5 probably bc we don’t care all that much about it.
@@ylsfad3720 Yeah, olympic athletes are known for not caring about winning
Top5 you genuinely think America would have won them medals if other countries actually played their full team😂
@@dontstopbelieving1 why have you not won any other medal then?
No Goalkeeper in net:
Average Guy: missed goal
1:10 dude was like tf you have my shoes on 😂
Even Courtois is more of a 'pro' than an MLS
Him: It felt awesome to score a goal
Goalie: I'm not even trying
That goalie was immediately cut after this video.
I met him irl he's a nice guy actually but not a great player
Assuming he was allowed to overly exert himself like in a match, this guy would have had zero chances.
He wasn't even diving lmfao
I don’t think he was actually trying 100%
Dev Kirpalani-Vaz I’m a Chelsea fan but kepa would have saved that
Coach: Be confident..that's it.
Guy: *switches on confidence* yeets a FK like Ronaldo.
Guy doesn't even know how to kick a ball. I'm European and play as an amateur in the second lowest league of my country (really bad for European standards), and I would absolutely put this guy to utter shame.
2:27 was the slowest powershot ive ever seen in my life
Why is everyone hating? So what if he's American? This guy's a beginner but you can actually see he's willing to learn. Keep it up mate! #TheBeautifulGame
Ivan Jukić because the title is saying he’s average. Simple fact is he isn’t, that’s on a RUclips channel not the guy himself. Grow up
OnTheHouse by average he doesnt mean football player he means a normal person
@@AleNuexGamer that's not what the phrase "average joe" means. He's not saying he's an average player, it means he's an average guy. Non-athlete, works in an office, etc.
Ivan Jukić ovaj brat nije F od Fudbala I sam je reka da je u Srednjoj igra kao Golman a nije zna izvest loptu
The reason we are hating is because this this pretentious idiot thinks he is above average when in reality the average 6 year old here in France is better than him
The walls were playing their separate
Dodge ball
You can tell how good someone is by how they celebrate after scoring
I would really enjoy watching the people that commented on his form and how he did to actually try this.
I don’t think you’ve ever played football in the uk or Europe. Amateur youth players could do better.
This isn’t what i would call a professional keeper
As an European, I think this is wayyyy below average ahah.. but +1 for effort! At least you tried!
rafjztw average person not player
"As aN eUrOpeAn" stfu🤦♂️
rafjztw u do know if ur from Europe it does not automatically make u a god at football, like some people here don’t even play football
@@andrewphil2366 maybe you can try speaking his language for a change
@@user-gg4qd9ve8m or I can continue to not give a fuck🤦♂️😂
Yo since he’s probably never gonna use those cleats again send em my way 😉😁
Who else was shouting “STEVE! STEVE STEVE” when the intro song was playing
The wall instead of jumping 2 feet high cuddled and ducked maybe afraid of the ball,
This made me mad😂😂😂
Any Left Footers here? Not many of em, so I want to point that out.
I'm a left footer
2:28 that guys power shot just roles into the bottom corner 😂
Eric Goldfish power doesn’t just mean it is high, a power shot can go high or low as long as it moves quick
It diddnt even look like a power shot lmao moved so slow and rolled so much
His aaah voice when he missed the shots is Arnold Schwarzenegger without steroids 😭😂
14:42 he let that in, he clearly moved his hand away 😂
He made good progress for the few days.
really interesting informative video, really liked it. i really enjoyed seeing how he came on with his skills and how well they developed. good job. thanks!
So much for the checklist he leaned foward everyshot
Mans leaning back too much and no one told him
They told him, he just didn't pay much attention to what they were trying to teach him.
Tbh considering his lack of football knowledge he showed great progress
Electro Power only in America my friend
14:15 “one of those felt really good I thought he was talking about hitting the people with the ball”
*Reason Why You Came*
*13:16*
13:48 did the same thing as he did on his first day what he wasn't supposed to 😂
Gotta give Clay credit. Hes very coachable
Bro took all-rounder to another level
Bruh this is below average 🤦♂️
lmao
Abdalla Abdulhamid average guy not average player
@@blanco7726 The average person has at least kicked a ball once before in their life, This guy was kicking like it was something completely alien to him.
NorwegianNightmare you’re overestimating people’s ability to kick balls
NorwegianNightmare taking free kicks is not easy, what he’s doing is pretty much bang on average
If this is an "average" american playing football, I dont wanna see a bad american player
"Average guy" not "average player"
Dude can you read?
Crazy what a few days of good coaching can do.
Him asking the Red Bull player about the wall was pretty hilarious
