U claim to be an Arsenal fan but jesus christ dude, u need to know more about Arsenal (I am a Man U fan). They are a global brand that's why they are able to spend shit ton of money despite only living on FA cups for past 15 years.

Hey mate, Alfie. I just want to say how much I value your content. Your sarcastic wit and your weird videos about tajikistan coruption are unmatched on youtube. The best creator on youtube.
According to this map , PAOK is the most searched club in Greece , which is quite surprising . Firstly because I expected a big european club to be first and secondly , because PAOK is only the 4th biggest club in Greece behind Olympiacos , Panathinaikos and AEK . (Greece may not be evident on this video but if you search this map on Google you can see it)
So other than england, there is a collective border between all world cup nations (spain, germany, italy -> france -> brazil -> argentina, uruguay). And even than argentina and england have territory desputes over the falklands
@@Metawire61 Problem is that it is England and not the UK which makes it hard designate overseas territories to England. In case of the UK there is a collective border because of Gibraltar, but they have also their own recognized football team since recently.
@@louisg7147 which is why i don't count gibraltar. But falklands is not an independant team like gibraltar and belong to the UK, which is dominated by england. So it's not direct, but almost.
@John Doe I mean I think the problem lies in the fact that gridiron is called football, when it barely uses your feet, but football is called soccer, when it exclusively uses the feet
Ronaldo is from Madeira so that technically is the smallest population of less than 300k, thank you for this video it’s very informative, Europe officially dominate the game of football.
10:59 Never expecting that Alfie speaks Indonesian words. Maybe if you make a documentary about the conflict that happened between PSSI (Indonesian FA) and Ministry of Youth and Sports of Indonesia back in May 2015? That conflict make Indonesia banned from FIFA for a year and we don't have any documentaries that talked about that conflict.
it’s cool to see a country outside europe to be the first to do it in a very euro-centric sport, but i think it’s kinda awful that mexico is about to host for the 3rd time while more than half the world is yet to host it once...
@@David-qq9bk well the rest of the world needs to catch up then lol, it’s not Mexico fault they have been chosen 3 times , it is a pretty country after all lol , although I will give the fact that USA influence was the reason Mexico was even chosen along side them so we can thank the US and Canada as well
@@Alejandroprz000 Mexico had a bit of luck too: the 1986 World Cup was originally set to be hosted by Colombia, but changes in the WC format made it too big a tournament to be hosted by Colombia. For the new hosts, Mexico, USA and Canada volunteered; however, despite both the USA and Canada presenting solid bids, Mexico's greater influence in FIFA helped it be chosen as hosts.
I would be interested in seeing a comparison of number of foreign born players in England’s top flight in the last 50 years, maybe in 10 year increments. Maybe a comparison with England Germany, Spain, Italy and France for most home-grown players in top flights.
And there are hundresds of languages in the world. Wanting the narrator knows how to pronounce a specific foreign word is bullshit. He must have a perfect pronunciation of the language he speaks and that suffices.
@@lsf698 You have a point but the narrator was trying, poorly, to pronounce the word for 'football' in Italian, not 'World Cup qualifier' in Mandarin. 'Calcio' is not a mysterious, unknown, exotic word for followers of football around the world, even in England, where saying, "Bon Appetit", makes us shake our head with anti-francophone feeling, he should have done better to be honest.
As an AFC Ajax fan I'm really surprised and honored to see that Ajax is the most searched for football club in taiwan, south korea and Ukraine. I didn't expect that
When i saw Ajax being the most searched club in Ukraine is was surprised. But Ajax is also a brandname and companyname. And Ajax security was founded in Ukraine. But Ajax is still the most searched club in the Netherlands of course.
South Africa predominantly calls the sport "soccer." Sokker is an Afrikaans (one of the 11 official languages) variation which counts for a minute number of people who use that exact word. There are more people that refer to it as "diski" which is a local colloquial term than there are who call it "sokker."
It's actually Manchester United that dominating here in Indonesia, even there's a popular phrase "Gak MU Gak Makan" ("No MU No Feast") citing the club's popularity here and big money the media get for reports and news (also trolls) about them
There's an error, in Ecuador people search for Barcelona, but not Barcelona from Spain. We search for a football team named also Barcelona, the difference is that it's from Guayaquil, Ecuador

Hockey that’s not played on ice is called by its descriptor, like field hockey or street hockey. Countries that call it “soccer”, like US, South Africa, and Australia, because they have another form of football.
I am a Manchester United fan who born and lived in Australia. some one of my friends who are Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham United and Real Madrid fans. and I am proud to be a Manchester United. Go the Red Devils!
The reason for Italians calling it calcio is that they had a similar game from the 1500's called calcio fiorentino. Still quite strange. Calcio in Italian also means calcium. Calcio should come from latin calx which should mean heel.
If you think about it, all the world cup winners are connected with one another geographically. France borders Italy, Spain, Germany, and Brazil [french Guyana] by land, and England via the Chunnel. Brazil borders Uruguay and Argentina.
@cogamers84 "Cruzazulearla" or "To do a cruz azul", means to have a great season and be just about to win the league cup... and lose the final. They were going to win the cup before corona and it was suspended xDDD
India didn't qualify for the world cup. They were just given an invitation to participate in 1958 if I'm not wrong which they accepted. They were unable to actually participate though because of financial reasons and that it's players had no football shoes. So they were invited not qualified.
@@tsprime3114 India was poor but not that much that we could not buy 11 shoes. Reason was that all the players were from rural backgrounds and had played barefooted all their lives
In Poland we say piłka nożna, which literally means "foot ball" ("piłka" means a ball and "nożna" is an adjective derived from the word "noga" which means "leg"). Futbol is mainly used for american football.
I think it's stupid they cancelled it last year, because there is always some kind of context, or conditions that affect the way teams perform, this year, everybody was hit by covid, so it was the most fair of unexpected problem. Lewandowski must be given a late award this year.
India has a football league it's called ISL(Indian Super League)and it's actually good even Roberto Carlos played there for 1 or 2 seasons and some other legends have played and coached and in this season Robby Fowler is coaching a team.But it's only been 8 years since the league started and I would suggest people to watch it.And there is a team in ISL called Kerala Blasters FC and it has the 2nd largest fanbase outside Europe after river plate and I am Kerala Blasters fan.KBFC fans are called manjappada
Yes bro so many legends played there including nesta, alano, matterazi and even del peiro, foreign players contribution gives indian players to play well, even 6 million people country italy qualified for world cup, but 130 populated india didn't qualify for a world cup it is such a shame, i like football more than cricket, because it is the sport that gives us so many entertainment, only people from kerala watches football, half of the india footballers are from india so i am pround of to be born in india
fun fact: even though Flamengo is the most searched team (and has the most fans) in Brazil, it is not the club with either more national or international titles
The interest in english football in Scandinavia stems back to the Tippsextra days where Brittish football was broadcasted live on TV. It is not hard to find people in Sweden who fell in love and have supported a brittish team for 5-6 decades.
Notice in the sixth map that the countries that scored 100 or more goals at the World Cup are also the only ones who have won the tournement multiple times. The exception to that is Uruguay, but that is partially because they happened to have won the two editions with the fewest participants (13 countries) and because of that they only played 4 games in each tournment to be champions.
If anyone is wondering, the word in the squiggly language in the southwest of India in the names for football map just says... “football”. The language is Malayaleam, BTW.

This is ridiculous, aren't it But it's what happening In latin America and Africa and Asia...
All of the world Cup winners are connected except UK because of France's exclave within South America (French Guyana), which borders Brazil & Brazil obviously borders Uruguay & Argentina
@@ledkicker2392 yeah considering how much of the Afrikaans language is derived from the Dutch you'd assume that but Sokker is more of a cultural name that all of the South Africans called it and I guess its Sokker in Afrikaans based on the fact the Afrikaans don't use Cs rather they use Ks
5:05. Correction is wrong. Asia has still only 1 world cup hosted because there were no WC-2018 games played in the Asian part of Russia. It was 100% European cities only.
Arsenal ignored decent policy and now it's become a shadow of what it used to be. Bergkamp and Henry are rolling over in their graves and they ain't even dead yet
In Spanish we also use "Balompié" which is the literal translation of football. Its use is in a bit of a decline, but some teams actually have it on their official name.
Though here in Hungary we have Futball as a name for the sport, it's mostly used in certain contexts. We use a shortened version, "Foci" in the common talk, and Labdarúgás in a more formal environment, which also means "ball kicking", like in a lot of other languages.
There's this thing about maps that makes it so fun to learn. Whether it's a map of the American states, Canadian provinces or the entire world, I'd prefer looking at it than playing Fortnite.
As an Ajax-fan it's interesting to see Ajax being the most searched team in Ukraine, South Korea, and Taiwan - if my high school geography hasn't failed me. If I had to guess I would have picked Denmark, for our long lasting relationship with Danish players, although it makes sense for Copenhagen being a big club to be the most searched one. As far as I know we never had a Ukrainian player, definitely no Taiwanese, and the only South Korean to ever feature was striker Hyun-Jun Suk, who became kind of a cult hero for earning a contract back in 2010 by just showing up uninvited to training for days on end, asking to join, and getting humoured by then-manager Martin Jol. He never did anything remarkable in the red and white and was sold after about 6 games in 2 years, but he fell in love with Ajax and Amsterdam so much that he got the club badge and the city coat of arms tattooed on his arms. By the way, I've knocked Alfie in the past on his pronunciation of foreign words and names, but credit where credit's due: great Dutch and (Brazilian!)-Portuguese pronunciation with voetbal and futebol!
i think football in China is also much more popular than it seems Table tennis is indeed popular in China, but I can tell you that the top two audience-rating matches in China are all from football, which are the 2004 Asian Cup finals and the match vs Brazil in 2002 WC
"As a rule, if the map is wrong, it's probably one of my own" You might be glad to know, Alfie, that most innacurate map is not one of yours. It's in fact the very last map (Countries who love HITC Sevens) and that's only because it's outdated. Now there are officially two more countries that love the channel, but weren't shown on that map (plus some flags have changed).

@@btzcarp02 And for relegating to the 2nd league 😂😂😂
India has a football league it's called ISL(Indian Super League)and it's actually good even Roberto Carlos played there for 1 or 2 seasons and some other legends have played and coached and in this season Robby Fowler is coaching a team.But it's only been 8 years since the league started and I would suggest people to watch it.And there is a team in ISL called Kerala Blasters FC and it has the 2nd largest fanbase outside Europe after river plate and I am Kerala Blasters fan.KBFC fans are called manjappada
Yes bro so many legends played there including nesta, alano, matterazi and even del peiro, foreign players contribution gives indian players to play well, even 6 million people country italy qualified for world cup, but 130 populated india didn't qualify for a world cup it is such a shame, i like football more than cricket, because it is the sport that gives us so many entertainment, only people from kerala watches football, half of the india footballers are from india so i am pround of to be born in india
Sorry i am proud to be born in kerala
@@disneyisafraud.3231 yes bro I also like football more than cricket but I still watch some cricket and half of the Indian footballers are from kerala
@@afeefanwar5419 we need to grow more in football and need to qualify for the world cup
Historic moment 10:27 The one and only Alfie speaking some Dutch for the first time 😂🙌🏼
fun fact: even though Flamengo is the most searched team (and has the most fans) in Brazil, it is not the club with either more national or international titles
Can you do what is happening to atalanta since Gomez wants to leave
They're fine right now and in good situation even after the breakout. Wait for a year or 2 .
The interest in english football in Scandinavia stems back to the Tippsextra days where Brittish football was broadcasted live on TV. It is not hard to find people in Sweden who fell in love and have supported a brittish team for 5-6 decades.
11:17 actually in Hungary, we call it Labdarúgás wich roughly translates to kickball
Nobody cares mate
Greeting from Ultras Arsenal Fanatic fans from Indonesia.. Proud to be a Gonners 🇲🇨❤️
The UK should be split up in all football related maps.
Agreed
Notice in the sixth map that the countries that scored 100 or more goals at the World Cup are also the only ones who have won the tournement multiple times.
The exception to that is Uruguay, but that is partially because they happened to have won the two editions with the fewest participants (13 countries) and because of that they only played 4 games in each tournment to be champions.

If anyone is wondering, the word in the squiggly language in the southwest of India in the names for football map just says... “football”. The language is Malayaleam, BTW.

In South Africa the most common terms for football is "Diski" and "iBhola". iBhola being used more in the nguni part of the country.
I love how we Austrians are just that random island that loves skiing...
Island? Also ye cause the alps are like the only big mountains in Europe
Really strange consdiering that football was really popular there before WW2. In fact the National team back then was among the strongest of the world
@@ale9toma they are still decent.. and football is still very popular
France even borders Brazil in the first map if you count French Guyana which most do
That Sokker with the double K is actually from the Afrikaans language. But usually we just pronounce it soccer🇿🇦
Isn't it strange that it's not similar to the word in Dutch?
@@ledkicker2392 yeah considering how much of the Afrikaans language is derived from the Dutch you'd assume that but Sokker is more of a cultural name that all of the South Africans called it and I guess its Sokker in Afrikaans based on the fact the Afrikaans don't use Cs rather they use Ks
@@ledkicker2392 afrikaans has dutch origins
@@cjhero20yt82 yep but in dutch it's not sokker
5:05. Correction is wrong. Asia has still only 1 world cup hosted because there were no WC-2018 games played in the Asian part of Russia. It was 100% European cities only.
man just completely ignored arsenal
i was kind of hurt by that ngl
Arsenal ignored decent policy and now it's become a shadow of what it used to be.
Bergkamp and Henry are rolling over in their graves and they ain't even dead yet
That is probably a good thing at the moment ;) It's FUBAR for the Gunners...

In Spanish we also use "Balompié" which is the literal translation of football. Its use is in a bit of a decline, but some teams actually have it on their official name.
WOAH WOAH HOLD IT RIGHT THERE BUDDY LEWANDOWSKI GOT A LEG-O' DOR THAT COUNTS !!!!
Though here in Hungary we have Futball as a name for the sport, it's mostly used in certain contexts. We use a shortened version, "Foci" in the common talk, and Labdarúgás in a more formal environment, which also means "ball kicking", like in a lot of other languages.
There's this thing about maps that makes it so fun to learn. Whether it's a map of the American states, Canadian provinces or the entire world, I'd prefer looking at it than playing Fortnite.

As an Ajax-fan it's interesting to see Ajax being the most searched team in Ukraine, South Korea, and Taiwan - if my high school geography hasn't failed me. If I had to guess I would have picked Denmark, for our long lasting relationship with Danish players, although it makes sense for Copenhagen being a big club to be the most searched one. As far as I know we never had a Ukrainian player, definitely no Taiwanese, and the only South Korean to ever feature was striker Hyun-Jun Suk, who became kind of a cult hero for earning a contract back in 2010 by just showing up uninvited to training for days on end, asking to join, and getting humoured by then-manager Martin Jol. He never did anything remarkable in the red and white and was sold after about 6 games in 2 years, but he fell in love with Ajax and Amsterdam so much that he got the club badge and the city coat of arms tattooed on his arms.
By the way, I've knocked Alfie in the past on his pronunciation of foreign words and names, but credit where credit's due: great Dutch and (Brazilian!)-Portuguese pronunciation with voetbal and futebol!
1:45
England: Are you sure about that.
God I love maps. Been making club maps of my own on Google Earth and My Maps for all sorts of leagues around the world
Video idea: xi of players that have been relegated (Buffon, Ferdinand, Zlatan etc)
Fantastic video. This is the type shit that I love on RUclips. Great video!
This was wrong so I edited it. Thanks @Powlol, 踢 is kick, not 足
actually 足 does mean foot so...
i think you are thinking of korean where 축구 comes from 蹴球 which means "kick ball"
i think football in China is also much more popular than it seems
Table tennis is indeed popular in China, but I can tell you that the top two audience-rating matches in China are all from football, which are the 2004 Asian Cup finals and the match vs Brazil in 2002 WC
"As a rule, if the map is wrong, it's probably one of my own"
You might be glad to know, Alfie, that most innacurate map is not one of yours.
It's in fact the very last map (Countries who love HITC Sevens) and that's only because it's outdated.
Now there are officially two more countries that love the channel, but weren't shown on that map (plus some flags have changed).
10:08 in Poland it's not Futbol, but it is called Piłka Nożna
