@@terellison well, obviously the number he is wearing is symbolic. I just dont think the fact he is replacing number 9 is supposed to mean anything.

Its obviously possible the writers meant it that way, but I just dont believe it.
I've been to Nigeria a couple of times and I can say hands down most of them are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Unfortunately though, there are quite a few people that take advantage of their position at every opportunity to keep other people down.
@@victoriakinny9210 When I went, I was lucky enough to only witness that and not be on the receiving end of it. Some people are just vengeful for literally no reason.
In a show about people staged in a sport the athlete in me got the message even if it was a small one. From where Jaime and Sam started their relationship to this made my heart smile. For any athlete on this broad stage to put aside his number for a teammate is truly an honor. Well done.
@@isaacnathan4865yea the revenge isn’t totally because of that, but if they do make a spin off then I’d be fine with akoufu getting some well deserved comeuppance
I mean, Sam did also diss the Nigerian government in season 2. So it might’ve also been a win-win for the government, because they probably weren’t gonna select him anyways.
my favorite was the original debut of danny rojas. just singing his own name and smashing goals. was kind of a shame they nerfed him as a striker later in the series?
If I were Sam I'd be like "You know what? I'm relieved. There was me thinking I'd done something wrong or wasn't good enough for the national team. But it was only because of your petty grudge I didn't make it. Because you have nothing better to do with your time and money than make people you don't like miserable. What a relief!"
Isaac was probably hoping to be picked for Nigeria, which is even more baffling unless Akufo bribed the Nigerian government not to pick any of the 3 Richmond Nigerians (0:54, left-to-right, Isaac, Winchester, and Sam). He's got a pretty British last name, but like the actor, Isaac is also part Nigerian
@@Matuse according to wikipedia, vatican city is not affiliated with fifa and does not have a fifa country code, although it does play international football.
So dani has a brief villain arc, and jamie redeemed his past villain arc. Legendary stuff. I love how jamie corrected his past with Sam. Jamie had the best character development in the entire show.
Well Premier League is the best league in the world. Most average football countries have like 1-4 people playing on that level and those players are shoe-ins for the NT.
No, Vatican City's FIFA country code is VAT. There's not VTC, but there is a VCT ISO code for St. Vincent & The Grenadines. Most likely, they made it up.
Man wasted 20 million dollars on some petty bs. That's what billionaires actually do with their money rather than "leading the world in innovation." This is a documentary.
If the national team is above board and honest? Then the crap...Akofu?...pulled shouldn't happen. But if that same guy can mean the difference between having suitable training gear, space, and resources because he's not helping to bankroll them? Then taking a bribe to keep Sam off the team is sadly believable, especially if the money is shared around the right way to get enough people on Akofu's side.
Jaimie wore Sam's number in his national team debut... fricken GOAT
Notice the number of the player he is replacing...9

9 was probably taken by one of the starters already (he was subbed with the guy wearing number 9), but other than that you're probably right.
Dani's 180 on Van Damme was EVERYTHING I WANTED 😂😂😂
Thats Rani Dojas to you!
You mean on Zorro, m8
The scene on the plane is the best!
@@sidtom2741it's about time!
Dani turning like that is easily one of my favorite switch ups 🤣
I cry every time I see Jamie run onto the field in his Tartt jersey with 24 on the back of it. UGHHHH I LOVE JAMIE TARTT SO MUCH!!!!! 😭❤
"when ya come on for England, Jamie, I wept!" -Jamie's mum
Like the sign says, #24 being subbed in for #9.
Desperately want Akoufu to get his Karma coming to see Sam get what he's truly earnt.
Hope he does if they actually do make a spin off based on afc richmond after Ted left maybe have him get sued or go bankrupt
He’s going to have the biggest rage fit of his life when he sees that Sam made the Nigerian national team
@@isaacnathan4865yea the revenge isn’t totally because of that, but if they do make a spin off then I’d be fine with akoufu getting some well deserved comeuppance
Jamie wearing Sam's number in the match is everything. Love him.
Imagine sabotaging an entire National team because a player didn’t want to play for you 😂😂😂

@@Kayoss13212imagine contemplating the motivations of a fictional government’s treatment of a fictional character on a fictional TV show.
@@andrewpierce1588whats the point of commenting on videos if not to discuss it? What an asinine comment
It took a $20m bribe to keep Sam off the team. If I were Sam, I'd wear that as a badge of honor soo hard.
@@abrannan I was thinking that, it would be a pure Sam move to smile when he heard that
I could spend $20 Million on helping my own people but I'm just so damn petty and immature. - Akoufu.
@@perriponders289 Thanks.
The way they all got together to watch their teammates play❤
National team Danny Rojas was the best character.
You mean Rani Dojas
my favorite was the original debut of danny rojas. just singing his own name and smashing goals. was kind of a shame they nerfed him as a striker later in the series?
Poor Sam. Jamie is the best bestie
If I were Sam I'd be like "You know what? I'm relieved. There was me thinking I'd done something wrong or wasn't good enough for the national team. But it was only because of your petty grudge I didn't make it. Because you have nothing better to do with your time and money than make people you don't like miserable. What a relief!"
Thats pretty much how he took it at the end, but his dream has always been to play for the Nigerian team, so I imagine its still quite sad for him
From Sam not wanting Jamie back because he was bullying him. To Jamie approaching Sam when he didn't get picked.
Jamie Tartt turned into the real deal.
I knew Sam not getting selected was Akoufu right away glad they brought sam Richardson back he is funny
I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥲
Dani Rojas is such a goat… that psychotic smile
Southgate once again shows Maguire favoritism, how the f did isaac not get selected
I don’t think Isaac reps England
@@vakama4923According to almost every source he is english, including the pitch notes and FIFA. His actor is from England as well

No one gonna mention that England are playing the Vatican City 😂
Vatican City's country code for FIFA is VAT. Yes, it really exists. Not VTC, which they just made up for some reason.
@@Matuse given that its 6-0 i think its easy to assume that even with the wrong code its implied that they are playing vatican city

The way my baby smiled when Beard said his name, that smile is from a kid living his dream
also the way Isaac was instantly sad for Sam and not for himself it’s what makes him captain
Probably one of the reasons why Nigeria weren’t close to winning the World Cup… there had a side capable of winning the World Cup!
This akufo guy must be the show's worst ever businessman
He's a child with money, who also holds vendettas. Not to mention he inherited his money. So you're probably right.
as amanrob said, dude didn't earn a penny of the money he is throwing around. Classic spoiled rich kid.
“yea i mean.. look at me”
As dark as a milk chocolate from Swiss I see
They all looked at sam. Th3y knew what happened. Even ted was like that's it? Whrre is sam name on the list
WE CREATED EVERYTHING NEXT
I JUST noticed this but Trent's reaction to Colin getting selected. Like he is full on Colin's hype man here.
I feel like five players from one club representing their home nations is a lot
Nah, for some clubs that's hardly any. Man City used to send four or five just for England.
they are a premier club and a pretty good one at that
Pretty small for a premier league team.
Look at how many players from Barcelona were in Spain’s 2010 World Cup squad.
Well Premier League is the best league in the world. Most average football countries have like 1-4 people playing on that level and those players are shoe-ins for the NT.
1:34 Evil Dani
The funniest part about this is like every African football federation has a minimum of three Sams the national side refuses to call up for reasons
Ok level with me. Is that billionaire a super villian?
Pretty much.
This is probably why Nigeria lost in AFCON
COME TO AMERICA AND SEE IF WE FLINCCH BUMMY BOY
Thought Colin was Scottish? My mistake.
Is this a movie n what movie is it?
