Yeah people really underestimate how difficult it is to play football when you’re first learning. Most of us learned how to play really young so we forget but I remember how bad I was at passing when I was 5 😂
Once, when I was 7, I forgot we had changed ends at half time, and I scored an own goal. 🤦♂ (Good goal-scorer later in life, though, so it turned out okay. 😋)
I'm brazilian, 25 yrs old, and since I didn' play football that much during my life, I'm not comfortable playing it just for fun, because everyone is very good (compared to me), but I like to play for fun, but it's like a first rank CSGO player against a high rank CSGO player XD
@@FallenLight0 Also brazilian, 27, I play since I was a kid, went to football junior teams, and even though I don't feel always comfortable because there are some shit crazy skilled guys out there hahaha
First few attempts, ball control is pretty much non-existent. Sending the ball in the general direction of where it's intended is a huge achievement. I started late: I must have been 8 or so. I soon became a decent CB for my team. As I got older, I was moved to the LB/WB position.
I'm an american living in the uk and I have notice there is a lot more passion for the game in the UK than the US, I've also noticed friendly games between groups can be twice as brutal as professional games and people just walk off the injuries even if their face is bleeding or they've broken fingers.
When I was a 11 or so, with our primary school we would go to the local park on Fridays to play sports or play in the park. Me and my friends invented a sport we called Rug Ball or something like that which was pretty much football but I could flying two foot someone to tackle them and it pretty much always turned into a fight of someone getting the ball and running for their life whilst being chased by 8 other people trying to take you out to get the ball. Got banned really quickly as soon as the first fist fight broke out.
"I'm an american living in the uk and I have notice there is a lot more passion for the game in the UK than the US" In the US, sports is entertainment. In the rest of the world, football is religion. In the US the fans need music on PA speaker system to sing, in the rest of the world the fans are the music and make songs, bring instruments and so on.
For us it is passion, the game is something you wait and train for several weeks. Sometimes when I receive the news about the upcoming game I would think about nothing but this game. Ain't no way any injury is making me leave the pitch after hours of training and looking forward to it. When you are on the field it is not a friendly game, you feel like you are on the highest level in the game of your life.
Bit of context for the clip at 3:43, that was Liverpool vs Real Madrid in the Champions League Final the biggest competition in football this would be the 1st of many mistakes Karius would make resulting in Liverpool losing the match and it really affected Karius who at the time was considered the next Manuel Neuer (the best German keeper and keeper in general) he would never be the same as he was again due to how traumatic that night was for him. It was later revealed after the game that minutes before the fatal mistake shown in the clip he had been involved in a head injury during a corner kick and was concussed explaining the mistakes he made. It's a really tragic story of a really talented player falling from the heights he achieved. Edit: correcting some spelling mistakes

The header that looked like it missed, it did miss. It managed to find a hole in the net, no more than about 1 square that was broken, and went in. It counted as a goal
The last clip was the keeper doing the now legendary “scorpion kick”, I believe it was a World Cup match. After the match the keeper admitted he thought an offside offence had been called that’s why he did the acrobatic kick, if he’d realised the ball was still in play he would never have show boated like that
Haven't seen it yet, but I assume it's the higuita one from 1995. It was an England Vs Colombia friendly. I hate to admit, but I remember it happening.
The one at 7:22 was Stafan Kieslings famous phantom goal. There was a malfunction in the net and back then there was no goal line sensor. So the ball penetrated the net from the outside and counted as a goal because it ended up inside.
Not massively into football myself but those moments were great to watch. It was just as much fun to see the genuine happiness on your face while watching this. Sending love from the UK! 💚💙💜
@8:15 the funniest part about this clip is that the goalie made that little mark in the pitch himself before the match started. Every single half the goalie would make a mark on the 5 yard line so he would always know where the center of the goal where without looking behind him. In this particular game you can see it backfired as the bal hit the mark and ricochet over his shoulder.
10:33 was Roberto Carlos, a Brazilian football player who was a defender and a very feared free kick shooter. 10:40 was Dennis Bergkamp and that's considered the most beautiful goal in the history of the Premier League so far.
@10:58 That's exactly how physics work. You as american should appreciate it - it's an effect that you try to eliminate in bullets by having them rotate fast enough so they become stable. A bullet without 'spin' or rotation would be as uncontrollable and unforeseeable as those shots are. It's also the reason you throw the american football in a spin ( spiral ) because you can not predict what happens to it if you don't. In layman's terms: spinning objects are stable, objects that do not spin are not. Mind you there are two different ways to move the ball in the air from a straight up/down curve - by spinning it so hard it 'curves' to the direction it spins, which is controllable and known as coriolis force or 'giving the ball effet/spin', and by spinning it as little as possible while striking it rather hard, which leads to uncontrollable, but also unforeseeable ( for the keeper, for example ) outcomes and is also heavily dependant on the ball you are using to play the match. This would be akin to a bullet not spinning. Some balls are worse in this regard, some are better. The 2012 and 2014 adidas balls ( used in the big championships that year ) were (in)famous for being too easily manipulated with this technique and thus a menace to the goalkeepers as you could not predict any flight path. Some truly stange goals happened during that time, and some goals in this video are done in this manner, but you can see both techniques at display in pretty much every game. It's as natural to those guys as a receiver catching a ball and getting two feet in, it's instinct to them after years of training.
Have to add context to the 'Caught them sleeping' @ 5:26 That was the 4th goal to win 4-0, the team were 3-0 down after the first game and needed to score 4 to get through. Against arguably the best team in Europe. Search Liverpool v Barcelona to see the full meaning :)
I love your football reactions! It’s a low scoring game so it makes the goals more special when they happen. I challenge you to watch a whole game though. I recommend Liverpool vs AC Milan 2005 Champions League final.
7:50, it would be impressive if it was some random staff dude, however, it was a Dragan Stojkovic, current manager of Serbian national team but also one of the best payed football players in Europe in the early 90's and 1993 Champions League winner with Olympique Marseille. He also played '10' playmaker position so it was not really all that crazy as it looks (like it would be if some steward or a cop or whatever did it).
I think what sets football apart in terms of skill needed is it's played with feet, where other ball sports are played predominantly with hands (throwing, hitting, carrying). Hands are naturally made for doing this but feet aren't naturally made for kicking and controlling a ball which makes it a totally different ball game.
that second clip (01:10) I was in the crowd! For context, Hull City (in orange/black, the home team who scored that goal), had just been promoted. Leicester (the team in blue), were the defending Premier League champions after one of the most crazy and famous Premier League wins ever. That was the first game of the 2016/17 season, and the first Premier League goal of that season. In the crowd where I was we didn't see it until the replays were shown.
Occasionally, a memorable moment requires some context from the past. Take, for instance, the highlight of the goalie making a remarkable save with their foot, famously known as the "scorpion" move. What makes this incident truly captivating is the tragic event that occurred shortly before-when a player from the same national team was assassinated due to an own goal. So, had the goalie failed to execute that extraordinary defense, their own life could have been at stake.
I’m a Liverpool supporter/fan/whatever you want to call it. I never used to be a football fan, only when the 1998 World Cup began. And that was out of boredom! I ended up enjoying the event so much, I decided that when the season started again, I’d watch a fair few matches, see who impressed me most, and I’d support them. Liverpool won my heart! JT, if you really want to support an English football team, do what I did, watch a few matches from different teams for a while, then whoever you enjoy most is your team.
11:10 For all americans: Let's try what kind of feelings football can cause. Your team is one goal behind and there is hardly any game time left on the clock. It looks like a defeat in the cup. One last corner, one last chance. Even your own goalkeeper goes on the offensive. The ball flies in and is blocked. The goalkeeper has his back to the goal, 1:1,000,000 that the ball will even hit the goal, he goes for an overhead kick, GOAL! 1:1, it starts again!!!!
When it comes to football I played Left Back. Usually in the dressing room. I was awful. Though I do watch games regularly and as a Hull City supporter I was stood only a few yards away from where that double overhead kick by Adama Diomande and Abel Hernandez happened.
That goal at 5:28 when you said he caught them sleeping knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League in the semi-final, a massive goal to top one of the greatest comebacks in European football history, Liverpool were 3-0 down after the first leg and ended up winning 4-3.
@2:23 a fan's kid threw that beach ball on the pitch seconds before it deflected the ball into the goal, the really spicy detail: the boy and his father were supporters of the team that conceded the goal in this clip, it was a fan article of that team and they went on to loose the match. @4:37 you're under-appreciating the height at which Ronaldo headed the ball. The yodeling is common practice by South American commentators. @6:49 it didn't go in. It went in from outside the pitch through hole in the net. The ref team didn't notice, the player knew but didn't acknowledge, but the goal remained even in an aftermath investigation. The player received a heap of criticism
11:34 Rene Higuita's (goalkeeper) Infamous Scorpion kick.......... However the ref blew the whistle for a free kick just before that, so it didn't matter if the keeper missed it, it wouldn't have counted (as a goal)
The comment about "caught 'em sleeping" was bang on. You need to watch the whole match. Barcelona v Liverpool, Champions League Semi Final, second leg. You'll want to be a Liverpool fan after.
i'd like to see you react to the super league protests it really showed how much the fans care about football i would like to see an americans opinion on the european super leage
JT the day you are standing in the pub with beer in hand watching England play Germany, you will get the emotional roller coaster of what football is! Personally I don't follow the stuff, well, until its three lions !
Nice to hear an American call the sport ‘football’. Ironically, the term ‘Soccer’ has British roots. It’s an abbreviation of the word ‘association’ which was the name Oxford students (a very famous university) gave to the game.
The sad thing about americans watching highlights videos as their first introduction to the sport is that their expectations are going to be too high. When they watch their first real match they are going to be dissapointed.
Football is in like many other sports. Its not high scoring like Basket Ball, but it means when someone does score, it really means a lot, the emotion released when someone scores is unlike anything else
5:56 after one of the best goals in football history, when the tiny country of sweden played england and Zlatan Ibrahimovic managed to score a bicycle kick from way outside the box This guy: huh...
The one goal, where the ball went in from the side of the net, was due to a defect goal net and should not have counted, however the refs did not catch it and the player kind of got slammed for quiet a bit to not have admitted that he missed the goal by pretty far. Elsewise pretty cool collection there
American football and Association football are both epic in different ways, can be hard to adjust to the constant flow of play when you're used to isolated moments of action. Rugby League is where it's at really though
the guy in blue@11:10 was the goalkeeper...he was waaaaaaay out of his position at the other end of the pitch - love a goalie scoring and that was a spectacular goal in anyones book!
The goal was not cancelled. It counted. Back then was no VAR and the striker initially thought he missed until he saw the ball in the goal and then thought he didn't see it right.
At least our term makes sense. Football....because you kick the ball with your feet American football makes no sense as you're using your hands. That's Rugby
In the clip at 2:23 a kid in the crowd had thrown the red beachball onto the field. Ironically he was a supporter for the team that conceded the goal. I remember the tv station re-playing the moment he threw the beachball, but they blurred his face out to spare him further embarrassment hah
7:12 That Ball did go through a hole in the netting of the Goal. The player who headed that Ball, Stefan Kießling of Bayer Leverkusen, thought that only went a sliver wide of the goal, however everyone else on his tem only saw the Ball in the net. IIRC the referee at the time didn't exactly see what was happening and his assistant referee being on the right outside line of the field and being unable to properly see the trajectory of the ball, they went off the Leverkusen Player's reaction and gave them the goal. This is now called the phantom goal.
7:00 the ball went through the net because there was a hole. They counted it a goal at first but later said it was not a goal as the ball was stuck inside the net and didn't cross the goal line.
6:53 so what happened here was that there was a hole in the net which the ball went precisely through. They later discovered it during the game but it was too late as the goal was already awarded. For the last clip, he was actually showing off. The ref stopped the game so the keeper was pretty much like "might as well"

As a Balkan guy to American guy, i really hope you will understand one day, what football means to us. I will actually recommend you to live for a year in one of the European countries to watch the all league games to feel that.
And jt if you didnt know,that corner from number 66 is the winning goal for liverpool to the final match against tottenham,liverpool lost 3-0 on leg one and won 4-0 on leg two,and on aggregate 4-3:)
I was at the game with the two players hitting the ball overhead at the same time and scoring - and we won beating the reigning champions - Hull City 2 Leicester City 1 - great goal!
Where the goalkeeper rolled that out straight to the opposition player....Loris Karius is his name. That was the team I support, Liverpool. It was the Champions league final against Real Madrid 2018. Its footballs version of the superbowl basically, the premier club competition in the world. We lost that game 3-1, he actually had another massive howler in the same match was never the same and was quickly shipped out on loan. Their 3rd goal was one of the best ever goals scored, Gareth Bale with an overhead kick. We reached the final again the next year, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
You're ahead of the curve, JT. NBC has just paid out £ 2 Billion for English Premier League coverage. They would not make such an investment if they didn't forsee major developments in how Americans view football.
@JT - you ARE the Man! I hate watching other people play sports...and whenever I've ever watched a game of footie/soccer/whatever- you-call- it, with a bloke & dared to laugh, or joke; I get a boring old lecture on all the technicalities, and the players stats, and the last time he had a bowel movement ...because this is Serious Stuff. Totally loved this because all the boring bits were cut out, sure, but mostly because of your reactions!! Mate, I'd watch a game of anything with you: loved your reactions!
I grew up in a neighborhood where every boy except me played football. My friends decided to teach me. First penalty the ball went at a 90 degree angle far away from the goal. The goal keeper told me to kick the ball here. Pointing between his legs. I kicked as hard as i could. This was the only time the ball went to the intended place and also the last time i played football. The goal keeper only spent 1 night in hospital
If your going to get into football you need to put every Premier league team into a hat ( random number generator) pick the team and thats the one team you have to support! Or make it more interesting the top 3 tiers of English football! Premier league/ championship/ league 1.... now that will be fun to see the highs and lows of being a supporter.....
The last one was Rene Higuita playing for Columbia against England. Moments like these don't come along often but it's what maxe watching football worth it.
He only did it because he knew it wouldn't have resulted in a goal had it gone in, the linesman had already flagged for offside. Apparently he'd been practicing them in the pre match warm up.
What Americans will never realize is that ONLY in football (Soccer doesn't exist as a word to me) is it possible for a small country or a small unknown team to beat a huge country and a rich team full of stars! And the reason for this is that the game is long (wins the most motivated , not the physically strongest) the points scored are few (so with a goal in the last minute the small team can win), the rules are very fair, team play is decisive above the individual (and Messi and Ronaldo may fall from Saudi Arabia and Morocco), there are no frequent substitutions (which makes the team even more cohesive and supportive if someone is not doing well at the moment), even if there is a bribed referee good team will win (even with 10 men, with given penalties, the team and the long playing time eliminate these factors). That's why football is a great game! And that's why it's the most popular sport in the world!
Leicester vs Hull city. The double scissor kick was something else. That match had a flow of goals. Nice game. Leicester went on to win the premier league the following season
Players like Ronaldo (R9), Ronaldinho, Zidane, roberto carlos, figo, del piero, Vieri, seedorf, kaka, davids, gerrard, lampard, makelele, henry, bergkamp, shearer and the list goes on and on best watchlist consists of these and more
The fun fact of what happened at minute 3:48 is that it was his (the goalkeeper) most important game ever (champions league final) and did other mistakes in that game

That was the first game of the 2016/17 season, and the first Premier League goal of that season. In the crowd where I was we didn't see it until the replays were shown.
the player who last hit the ball of the two (Adama Diomande) got the goal, it wasn't shared statistically.
Occasionally, a memorable moment requires some context from the past. Take, for instance, the highlight of the goalie making a remarkable save with their foot, famously known as the "scorpion" move. What makes this incident truly captivating is the tragic event that occurred shortly before-when a player from the same national team was assassinated due to an own goal. So, had the goalie failed to execute that extraordinary defense, their own life could have been at stake.
I’m a Liverpool supporter/fan/whatever you want to call it. I never used to be a football fan, only when the 1998 World Cup began. And that was out of boredom! I ended up enjoying the event so much, I decided that when the season started again, I’d watch a fair few matches, see who impressed me most, and I’d support them. Liverpool won my heart! JT, if you really want to support an English football team, do what I did, watch a few matches from different teams for a while, then whoever you enjoy most is your team.
The header went through the side netting and ended up in the goal if am not mistaken was still counted as a goal 🤣
yep. A hole was found after the game
Oh yeah and the guy who scored said to the ref it wasn’t a goal🤣
@@rosscurrie3979 yep. He didnt want the goal to count but he had 0 choice
@@BP-kx2ig yep. it was like 2am when i commented XD
You called it Football, at least you are learning. lol
And you've got Virgil Van Dijk in the thumbnail. Extra point for that.
11:10 For all americans:
Let's try what kind of feelings football can cause. Your team is one goal behind and there is hardly any game time left on the clock. It looks like a defeat in the cup. One last corner, one last chance. Even your own goalkeeper goes on the offensive. The ball flies in and is blocked. The goalkeeper has his back to the goal, 1:1,000,000 that the ball will even hit the goal, he goes for an overhead kick, GOAL! 1:1, it starts again!!!!
"PINBALL! It's PINBALL!"
How many yelled that at their screen? 😂
Pinball?? 🧐
The red ball was a beachball thrown by a Liverpool fan and ended up costing Liverpool the game against my team Sunderland.
Seeing these in the midst of a full game would be so hype.
When it comes to football I played Left Back. Usually in the dressing room. I was awful. Though I do watch games regularly and as a Hull City supporter I was stood only a few yards away from where that double overhead kick by Adama Diomande and Abel Hernandez happened.
It's not often you see Scottish football in these kind of compilation videos 😂 proud moment.
React to that famous football match miracle in Istanbul trust me you won't regret it
Double overhead kick. HULL CITY now that's a team JT needs to support in Football ;)
Up the tiger's
That goal at 5:28 when you said he caught them sleeping knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League in the semi-final, a massive goal to top one of the greatest comebacks in European football history, Liverpool were 3-0 down after the first leg and ended up winning 4-3.
@2:23 a fan's kid threw that beach ball on the pitch seconds before it deflected the ball into the goal, the really spicy detail: the boy and his father were supporters of the team that conceded the goal in this clip, it was a fan article of that team and they went on to loose the match.
@4:37 you're under-appreciating the height at which Ronaldo headed the ball. The yodeling is common practice by South American commentators.
@6:49 it didn't go in. It went in from outside the pitch through hole in the net. The ref team didn't notice, the player knew but didn't acknowledge, but the goal remained even in an aftermath investigation. The player received a heap of criticism
England won 10-0 in there recent world cup qualifier
It was against people with regular jobs to be fair. We shouldn’t be boasting about that too much 😂
Against San Marino😂 Scotland won 2-0 against Denmark something the English couldn’t do without cheating
@@keebs67 Scotland still cheering their 0-0 win in June
@@MadaraUchiha-vd2bx Yeah it reminded me of John Cleese boxing the small child in Monty Python.
"their"
11:34 Rene Higuita's (goalkeeper) Infamous Scorpion kick.......... However the ref blew the whistle for a free kick just before that, so it didn't matter if the keeper missed it, it wouldn't have counted (as a goal)
You should look at Portsmouth vs Reading with Kris (kammy, the legend) Kamara. Definitely one of the funniest moments in footy
Play up pompey!
Hilarious , kammys a treasure 👍
@@justlis2 Unbelievable Geoff ( or Carly) 😂😂😂😂😂
I dont know Jeff
@@jameswhite6719 "Kris, count the number of Pompey players on the pitch"
I know Jeff, but I thought they were bringing someone else on 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Corner taken quickly, Origi!!!
The comment about "caught 'em sleeping" was bang on.
You need to watch the whole match.
Barcelona v Liverpool, Champions League Semi Final, second leg.
You'll want to be a Liverpool fan after.
You can’t beat football for true passion and excitement. Nothing in US sports compares.
Hahahaha!! “Oh myyy!” At 6:44 🤣🤣🤣 I love you JT!! So funny!!
Not sure if you missed it, but the scissor kick goal at 11:10 is all the more special due to it being the team goalie who did it.
3:38 MArcelo did so great work so opponent team fans are astonished and got applause
i'd like to see you react to the super league protests it really showed how much the fans care about football i would like to see an americans opinion on the european super leage
JT the day you are standing in the pub with beer in hand watching England play Germany, you will get the emotional roller coaster of what football is! Personally I don't follow the stuff, well, until its three lions !
Nice to hear an American call the sport ‘football’. Ironically, the term ‘Soccer’ has British roots. It’s an abbreviation of the word ‘association’ which was the name Oxford students (a very famous university) gave to the game.
The sad thing about americans watching highlights videos as their first introduction to the sport is that their expectations are going to be too high. When they watch their first real match they are going to be dissapointed.
like we are dissapointed&bored watching american football or baseball...
Football is in like many other sports. Its not high scoring like Basket Ball, but it means when someone does score, it really means a lot, the emotion released when someone scores is unlike anything else
The whole video I was "This better have Higuita's Scorpion Kick" and your reaction didn't disappoint lol.
5:56 after one of the best goals in football history, when the tiny country of sweden played england and Zlatan Ibrahimovic managed to score a bicycle kick from way outside the box
This guy: huh...
7:34 that was the manager so he would be sighing himself😂.
The one goal, where the ball went in from the side of the net, was due to a defect goal net and should not have counted, however the refs did not catch it and the player kind of got slammed for quiet a bit to not have admitted that he missed the goal by pretty far. Elsewise pretty cool collection there
American football and Association football are both epic in different ways, can be hard to adjust to the constant flow of play when you're used to isolated moments of action. Rugby League is where it's at really though
the guy in blue@11:10 was the goalkeeper...he was waaaaaaay out of his position at the other end of the pitch - love a goalie scoring and that was a spectacular goal in anyones book!
“Yo that dudes head put in some work that game” had me laughing hysterically. Someone needs to show Lukaku this clip - he’d love it 😆😆
07:10 "Phantom Goal" Ball went in from outside through a hole in the netting. He admit later and the goal was chanceled.
The goal was not cancelled. It counted. Back then was no VAR and the striker initially thought he missed until he saw the ball in the goal and then thought he didn't see it right.
"That's disgusting" for a easy stop :D LMAO
8:59 - Neymar putting the "ass" in "pass"! Hahaha
Poor Karius, he had an absolute mare of a game.
He got a lot of comradely support from Liverpool fans afterwards though! 😂😆😂
@@danosverige yeah…loyalty isn’t a thing if you eff up 😂
@@helenchristie6530 - Strange how Gerrard never got the same abuse when he slipped on his arse and threw the title away isn't it?😂
At least our term makes sense. Football....because you kick the ball with your feet
American football makes no sense as you're using your hands. That's Rugby
Corrie. It's not Rugby lol
I know. I was just saying why our football makes sense compared to American football
In the clip at 2:23 a kid in the crowd had thrown the red beachball onto the field. Ironically he was a supporter for the team that conceded the goal. I remember the tv station re-playing the moment he threw the beachball, but they blurred his face out to spare him further embarrassment hah
is it on youtube somewhere?
I'm a Liverpool fan and I remember watching this happen. I was so livid that the goal stood, even more livid at the fan
juninho pernambucano for freekick compilations literally the best freekick taker ever
Some amazing moments there, and probably a thousand more that could be in the video. Best sport in the world.
seeing americans react to football is like seeing girls go to school. It means so much to them but to us its so funny and adorable
7:12 That Ball did go through a hole in the netting of the Goal. The player who headed that Ball, Stefan Kießling of Bayer Leverkusen, thought that only went a sliver wide of the goal, however everyone else on his tem only saw the Ball in the net. IIRC the referee at the time didn't exactly see what was happening and his assistant referee being on the right outside line of the field and being unable to properly see the trajectory of the ball, they went off the Leverkusen Player's reaction and gave them the goal. This is now called the phantom goal.
7:00 the ball went through the net because there was a hole. They counted it a goal at first but later said it was not a goal as the ball was stuck inside the net and didn't cross the goal line.
Hey Google, ball bouncing around arcade game
😂😂😂😂😂
Same,that killed me 👏😂😂😂
6:53 so what happened here was that there was a hole in the net which the ball went precisely through. They later discovered it during the game but it was too late as the goal was already awarded. For the last clip, he was actually showing off. The ref stopped the game so the keeper was pretty much like "might as well"
every sport has its fans - even snail racing! but football is a mania on a planetary scale, which is why they call it "King-Football" !

Woo! Football! LFC cup double! Woo! Also have you ever met a premier league footballer face to face? They don’t look it on TV but they’re MASSIVE.
Football is one of the oldest ball sports in the world and one of the best in the world with the highest paid wages and most awesome teams,stadiums,locations etc. The best legacy in any sports around the world! That's the Football!
HUGE respect to the American calling it football instead of soccer
As a Balkan guy to American guy, i really hope you will understand one day, what football means to us. I will actually recommend you to live for a year in one of the European countries to watch the all league games to feel that.
And jt if you didnt know,that corner from number 66 is the winning goal for liverpool to the final match against tottenham,liverpool lost 3-0 on leg one and won 4-0 on leg two,and on aggregate 4-3:)
I was at the game with the two players hitting the ball overhead at the same time and scoring - and we won beating the reigning champions - Hull City 2 Leicester City 1 - great goal!
just wonder how they decided who scored that ?
Hey JT hope you're doing well! I work a night job and your videos get me through it every night, thank you brother!
Where the goalkeeper rolled that out straight to the opposition player....Loris Karius is his name. That was the team I support, Liverpool. It was the Champions league final against Real Madrid 2018. Its footballs version of the superbowl basically, the premier club competition in the world. We lost that game 3-1, he actually had another massive howler in the same match was never the same and was quickly shipped out on loan. Their 3rd goal was one of the best ever goals scored, Gareth Bale with an overhead kick. We reached the final again the next year, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
You're ahead of the curve, JT. NBC has just paid out £ 2 Billion for English Premier League coverage. They would not make such an investment if they didn't forsee major developments in how Americans view football.
@JT - you ARE the Man! I hate watching other people play sports...and whenever I've ever watched a game of footie/soccer/whatever- you-call- it, with a bloke & dared to laugh, or joke; I get a boring old lecture on all the technicalities, and the players stats, and the last time he had a bowel movement ...because this is Serious Stuff. Totally loved this because all the boring bits were cut out, sure, but mostly because of your reactions!! Mate, I'd watch a game of anything with you: loved your reactions!
I grew up in a neighborhood where every boy except me played football. My friends decided to teach me. First penalty the ball went at a 90 degree angle far away from the goal. The goal keeper told me to kick the ball here. Pointing between his legs. I kicked as hard as i could. This was the only time the ball went to the intended place and also the last time i played football. The goal keeper only spent 1 night in hospital
If your going to get into football you need to put every Premier league team into a hat ( random number generator) pick the team and thats the one team you have to support! Or make it more interesting the top 3 tiers of English football! Premier league/ championship/ league 1.... now that will be fun to see the highs and lows of being a supporter.....
That over head kick from zlatan 🤌 one of my favourite goals of all time
The last one was Rene Higuita playing for Columbia against England. Moments like these don't come along often but it's what maxe watching football worth it.
He only did it because he knew it wouldn't have resulted in a goal had it gone in, the linesman had already flagged for offside. Apparently he'd been practicing them in the pre match warm up.
@@SMlFFY85 Entertaining all the same. Players not being robots is what we want.
Enjoyed glad you did too JT thanks TC
What Americans will never realize is that ONLY in football (Soccer doesn't exist as a word to me) is it possible for a small country or a small unknown team to beat a huge country and a rich team full of stars! And the reason for this is that the game is long (wins the most motivated , not the physically strongest) the points scored are few (so with a goal in the last minute the small team can win), the rules are very fair, team play is decisive above the individual (and Messi and Ronaldo may fall from Saudi Arabia and Morocco), there are no frequent substitutions (which makes the team even more cohesive and supportive if someone is not doing well at the moment), even if there is a bribed referee good team will win (even with 10 men, with given penalties, the team and the long playing time eliminate these factors). That's why football is a great game! And that's why it's the most popular sport in the world!
Guy balances ball on foot...... JT "that's disgusting" 😂
Leicester vs Hull city. The double scissor kick was something else. That match had a flow of goals. Nice game. Leicester went on to win the premier league the following season
Im from England. Shot #1..I watched Zlatan do that to us live. Incredible!!!
You should do a reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo. He does some amazing footwork that has people bamboozled (puzzled) ❤️🇬🇧
Players like Ronaldo (R9), Ronaldinho, Zidane, roberto carlos, figo, del piero, Vieri, seedorf, kaka, davids, gerrard, lampard, makelele, henry, bergkamp, shearer and the list goes on and on best watchlist consists of these and more
The Colombians, Dutch and Brazilians have got some sexy skills. 🔥🔥🔥
What .....wait ...... what ......wait 😂😂😂 same ere mate 😂😂😂
The fun fact of what happened at minute 3:48 is that it was his (the goalkeeper) most important game ever (champions league final) and did other mistakes in that game
"talk about fumbling the bag", lost it lololol
Some truly incredible moments on show here! Really enjoyed your reaction to them, I laughed along with you.
The goalkeeper that done that fancy save, the move is called the scorpion kick and is not done very often ❤️🇬🇧
And the whistle had already been blown for an infringement so there was no risk if it didn't come off......Still impressive non the less.
