It's crazy how CBS has Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher... and then there's Morning Footy.
If they actually cared about the Asian cup they would have found some people with knowledge on it to cover this show, perhaps all they needed was some former players that spoke good English. But no let's just put some people in their to just talk nonsense and waste everyone's time.
Please make more of these videos it's hilarious 😂😂😂❤
i mean u can put Carragher on morning footy tbh he would fit very well
@@domenicdaluz To be fair they cover other leagues too, like Serie A. Besides Charlie it’s not as cringe as I could be
Very telling that the only way of having good football coverage on american TV is to not have Americans commentating
Maxwell probably has no desire to talk about vietnams Asian cup 2023 journey lmao
A lot of desire. Too much, even, expect a cr1me of passion. Idk to who, probably Troussier, but expect some spicy rants lad😂
Last minute, oh woah a terrible journey our national team
The fact they just lost 2-3 again against Iraq
@@darvel9133 is not like the tie would have made a difference
Again last minute goal
I thought it couldn’t get worse than ESPN FC, but CBS morning footy has set a new standard for incompetent punditry
Espn legit not that bad. I mean they don't know anything about these things but they don't really talk about it either and when they do they call like the random dude who does know a ton but never appears
@@juanperret7044 ESPN in latin america is shit currently, atleast for me a barcelona fan. Like you watch a match and the constant slandering and shit talk is insane! Idk whats worse, clueless pundits or very biased pundits..
@davidvalencia129 but is it in English or Spanish. And yeah the espn pundits for English are pretty partisan but theyre critical of their own teams
U like espnfc but I about to quite on the show bc they talk about real Madrid for 3 straight days when there is 2 international tournaments going on
Also gab is like the only person with common sense on the show to me and they just shit talk him every time is annoying
At least ESPN Fc is entertaining
As a Korean, the rivalry between us and Japan goes very very very deep both historically and sports wise. We always say, "Never lose to Japan, even when in rock paper scissors!"Big up to Maqwell for explaining this!
Wish you guys the best bro, from Indonesian here
I'm Japanese, and if we meet this tournament I hope that both fanbases will be accepting of the results. The lasting thing we need is like 10 comment wars going on at once...
@@TakayakaYT people in both Japan and South Korea treat it as a sports rivalry, as a Korean that went to Japan there is a lot of Korean culture like restaurants and pop culture and same goes for Japanese culture in South Korea
@@17Trees33 Yeah, I feel like we need to both acknowledge the past and focus on the present and future, not judge current matters by the past (though history is important of course)
@@TakayakaYT imo, even if we settle our pasts and face a peaceful future, treating each other as rivals (regardless of performance level differences) doesn't sound quite so bad
I actually cannot fathom 4 pundits asking if Iraq has won a World Cup.
They said if they’ve won at the World Cup, not the entire tournament lol. But I still get ur point
05:00 sounds like "have they won the world cup?" to me
@stevqtalent it's clear she asks "if they won AT A World Cup"
Shit was fucking wild
“We’ll look it up”
She clearly asked "Have they won AT the World Cup?" Not have they won A World Cup.
the fact that not even the show producers and writers had some info for the panel to bounce off on speaks words on how little they care about the asian cup 💀
Yeah, the presenters are clearly there for their *looks*, but nobody on that show has brains it seems. Shows how little some/most Americans acknowledges what's outside of their little world, made up of of 50 states. Imagine this lot covering AF Con... "liKe aRe aLL tHeSe cOuntRies iNsiDE AfRicA? HoW biG is aFriCa? Do ThEY eVeN haVe eLecTriCitY tHeRe?" ☠️
I mean, it’s not where their money is. At least half of the Asian cup is there before 7 AM for half of Americans.
@@gracielynn9623 yeah that’s true but even just having a few points prepared so they don’t sound completely lost would kinda help 🤷♀️
I understand that asian cup isn't as highly regarded compared to Euros, Copa, and Afcon. But at that point, instead of making such a lackluster content, just don't make it imo.
@@maestroplay6563 exactly, if you’re not going to put in the effort then it’s just a waste of time
"Is that a rivalry"
I spat my drink out omg.
Uneducated 20 something from the north west of England and I know about Japan and Korea's cultural beef. How does the man on the TV doing a sporting program about the Asian Cup not know this.
Fellow brit here, I swear Americans are so far up their own arses that they don’t even know their own history.
They spent years in the Pacific Theatre of WW2, they love talking about the heroics of the US, but are allergic to learning the details of THEIR OWN WAR.

The fact they didn't know about Iraq's miraculous 2007 Asian Cup🤦♂️
They act as if Iraq is a minnow, which is not true in the Asian Cup - aside from the 2007 win, they finised 4th in 2015 (they've also finished 4th in 1976) and had qualified for every tournament since 1996.
I'm American and even I knew that one, idk how these guys were even hired if they're not at least gonna do some research before talking.
@@duckway4733The worst thing is: You can do a fanastic job without doing the research yourself. Every TV station (that is sending professional sports) has entire teams to do that for everyone involved.

@@superninja252 There's one level above this with english fans calling every other league than the prem a farmers league and it's mostly them who act like how you describe.

As a Haitian who had to grow up watching Fox Sports I feel your pain😂Their pundits still to this day don’t realize Haiti won a Concacaf championship in 1973
Ain’t gonna lie g I didn’t know either
I don’t think anyone knows that. Not really a reason to bring up concacaf championships from before most of the viewers were born.
@@ian38367 They have every reason to bring it up when Haiti has a match in CONCACAF as it's their prestige as former champion. Even if they are not at their former level respect is due to former winners such as Greece and Danemark in euro.
England has no international championship since 1966, they are respected as a football nation but they get less respect in euro as they still hasn't won one.
The coverage of the gold cup is just as abysmal as the Asian cup

I’ve well aware of the 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 rivalry in baseball and in history, can’t believe they had no clue about the football rivalry. It’s obvious! This is why no one takes football in America seriously, it’s so sad to see.
Edit: in Iraq games, they always mention 2007, all it takes is to watch the highlights and they’ll mention it!
No this is an example of people not taking football seriously, it’s not WHY people don’t.
The reason people don’t is MUCH deeper than you can imagine if you’ve never lived in North America. We have other sports and a culture built around hating soccer/football.
This show they don't even know about the WWII in Asia.
The women's teams even faced each other at the Olympic Games in 2016. That is in the past 10 years, totally inexcusable.

Petition for maqwell to become the replacement to all commentators for this show
No
Here's the thing that bums me out - Western networks generally consider international tournaments not named World Cup, Euros or Copa America (such as the Asian Cup or the AFCON) as meaningless or just a sideshow. And we clearly see it in this video with the 'pundits' not putting even the slightest effort and basically tell the viewers "Don't watch it - it's a meaningless tournament and you'll be wasting your time". This is downright disrespectful.
Not disrespectful it is just a fact that those teams historically are not a draw. In the World Cup those games are mostly skipped.
@DaddyFutbol Maybe skipped to you until your favorite teams get knocked out by Asian or African teams and get a surprised pikachu face when that happens. Now that is funny.
Real talk, if you are a pundit covering anything at least do research, it would make you look less like an idiot.
@@DaddyFutbolAnd what you just mentioned is disrespectful.
@@DaddyFutbol Bruh,you're just prove of how arrogant and ignorant Americans are.No wonder teams like T&T and Slovenia does beat America's butts in football.
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.
Iraq’s win in the 2007 Asian Cup is genuinely one of the greatest stories in world soccer and it’s genuinely baffling that they had to look it up
Crazy how they didn’t qualify for that 2010 World Cup or any world cups since
It was a big deal in the news.
Well greece won eurocup 2004 and didn't made it to the 2006 wc
No body in Europe knows anything about it.
It is not one of the greatest stories in world soccer bro 😂😂
Who's here just after watching Maqwell's stream, suffering and feeling the pain of deafet from watching Vietnam lose to Iraq
Feels like CBS went to a random pub, grabbed whoever they could find and said “Talk about this for 30 minutes.”
Charlie Davies can't draw 1k audience on his RUclips. Somehow cbs hired him. It's crazy
@@user-hc1ie6lk7l He knew a guy who knew a guy to get him a job
I think a show covering the Asian Cup for a western audience SHOULD have an uninformed guy that asks the questions. I’m more concerned that literally NO ONE actually had an answer??? Like how???

What do u mean by western audience like European and american ones?

American commentary: what are these countries?
what are countries? are status countries?
The brazilian coverage of the Asian Cup was sensational. Comentators were clearly interested, knew every backstory and context and did an amazing job at informing the public. They also had a Japanese-Brazilian, who is already one of the best commentators ESPN Brasil has, dedicated to the tournament.
Glad you like Simon Hill. He' s Australia's best commentator and truly champions the sport and the local league here. We're lucky to have him.
This is such an untapped market in American sports. AFCON too. It would be a gigantic success too, groundbreaking. People make mistakes, but people with your talent and others like Football Pharaoh (check him out if you are an international football freak like me), would take the love of football to the next level.
Shout out to the guy who actually knows ball.
That's Nico Cantor, Andres's son.
Knows ball? Fucks ball?
Meanwhile, they have an AFCON correspondent and the AFCON isn’t on Paramount+ smh
The Asian cup is on paramount plus so is the AFC champions league
never have I laughed so much at Max suffering “watching” this football coverage from CBS 😂
Nico Cantor, the guy wearing the Brentford jersey, is the son of Andres Cantor… who is one of the most iconic sports commentators of the Spanish language. This is more proof that he’s never gonna be as great as his father.
I was living in a world of ignorant bliss before this, I’m so glad I don’t regularly check out morning footy. They literally treat their jobs like it’s a casual podcast between friends. Casual can be fine if you have some balance. I think the TIFO football podcast was the peak of football content

Maqwell is doing everything he can to avoid talking about Vietnam in the Asian cup
"Is that a rivalry?"
That gave me physical pain.
oh my gosh, i never thought anyone would care to notice! so glad i’m not alone in feeling this way. i watched a few shows during the women’s world cup. as a country with such a dominant history in women’s football, you’d think these executives would platform people who know what they’re talking about
Reminded me of that podcast which called Mbappe "Mgappe"
And him, Messi and Nedermeyer are all teammates.......in the Premiere League.
(how awesome would that have been tho???)
I know Nico was internally screaming when hearing his colleagues talk.
Nico just waiting till it's ready for "fútbol de primera" with his dad in Spanish. He's the best!

And Clint Dempsey agreed with Henry.
Victim complex
The guy with the Brentford kit being the only one who knows anything
Morning footy more like Morning dookie amirite
Morning doozy
You can tell these guys that England's most successful team are Manchester Rovers and they'd probably believe you.
What’s even funnier is one of those pundits claimed bias against Americans, not due to their lack of merit, but simply because they were American in Europe 😂
The worst part is that they will get away with it
People watching would definitely give them some stick but that’s it
Why did they kept throwing questions when they noticed no one around the table has a basic answer 😆
This kind of stuff really hurts me to my core because ive always wanted to be a commentator/pundit, to get paid to talk about the game i love, and instead i have to watch THIS as the people who are supposed "professionals"

you can just feel that these people want to switch to talking about european football. and it would still suck with lots of broken sentences, weird silences, constant questioning whether something is correct and utter lies. its not just that these people did not do their homework, they just dont know how to talk on the big screen without a dedicated script.
Because for some strange reason Americans never got to like football (soccer) in spite of having the world's two greatest players (Pelé and Messi) playing in the USA....No way....they like baseball, their own football (rugby) and basketball...they'll never become really interested in our football.
As someone who has watched the aleague with Simon Hills commentary for many years its great to see him get recognition!
he's so underrated !!!
I am one minute in, I am from europe, so I have no stake in the discussion, but the lack of knowledge of history, of the sporting rivalry, and the general disrespect, is astonishing, and disgusting
🤡🤡🤡
I’ve only ever heard American commentary over sports like the NBA and NFL, so I guess the eccentricity is better suited for those sports
Actually, imo American sports commentary is deteriorating (pretty rapidly) across the board, even in sports like the nba and nfl
Not anymore. Honestly most people have just moved here on youtube where you can find content about your team from a fan of said team.
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.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
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
Dudes are bad indeed, but Spccer term was created in England based on the official name of sport, Association Football
@@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?
The word you're looking for is "ignorant"
You can actually tell Nico(Brentford jersey) is literally looking up Iraq's Wikipedia page on his iPad while they’re talking. I'm pretty familiar with the national team page layouts, you can see him say they reached the World Cup in 1986 while looking at the iPad and says they lost all three (easily identifiable on the competition record tables) then you can see his finger scrolling down while the other hosts are declaring it as the biggest win in Iraq history and the table immediately below it has their AFC Asian Cup record and he says hold up at the end.
they just took some random Americans and put them on a table 🤣
Morning Footy hurts me as an American.
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
"Have Iraq won the world cup? We'll look it up" NO WAY LMAOO
As a big basketball fan as well, stuff like this happens all the time in Inside the NBA, the most popular nba pregame show
But at least with inside the nba, they have one main guy that coordinates the show and knows every detail
03:50 they only know iraq for Saddam
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
Are we sure those commentators made it out of elementary school? Jesus....😂😅😂😅😂
Bro as a Lebanese myself, following the Asian cup closely (I know my NT was absolute trash lol, but I'm backing the Arab nations to win hopefully) - your reaction killing me in in tears. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do listen to morning footy quite regularly. I wish they did more due dilligence with their punditry.
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.
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.
This is crazy I think me and my buddy could do a better show and we don't much about the AFC, but I could do a little bit of homework. I knew Jurgen was coaching South Korea, without being told.
Nico Cantor (son of legendary Argentine commentator Andres Cantor) is the only one that seems to have some semblance of what he's talking about. I mean c'mon, the producers can't give the pundits a hand with the research? CAN THEY NOT JUST SCRIPT IT? Wild
As a Korean, yes, yes there's a cultural rivalry. Read a book.
How can you be *this* unprepared when covering an international tournament? Or any football competition?
why even do the show if they know nothing?
These "pundits" make Eli Eluko, Michael Owen and Robbie Savage look like footballing geniuses
Maqwell gives us a history lesson, quite rightfully as a therapy session in order to avoid talking about Vietnam 😭
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.
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)
Probably because theres only a few well known Premier League players involved in the Asian Cup.
I feel bad for the one guy who actually knows something and then there's just the other 3 idiots
Guy he doesn’t like is “a gooner”. Lol. Ironic.
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.
American commentary is something I will never listen too. I rather listen to British commentary.
Brits are diehard supporters of Football. Ofc anyone will choose them over Americans
Preach! Thank you for a great video maxwell You spoke so well what needed to be said! Cheers!
Are they being paid for this, or they're just there for free? Because... their enthusiasm is so contagious, I could take a nap.
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.
As a italian Mexican I'm happy that i actually know about Football i always correct my friends when they called it soccer 🤣🤣
Why? Soccer is ENGLISH, the people who invented the sport called it that first and most of the world still does.
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.
Sorry, I meant 1986 WC.
Bro I’m American and I know full well about Japan and South Korea’s disdain
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.
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.
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?
@@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?
