Too much brainless biomass out there. Please no apologies, you're doing good and not much germans even care about US sports. I appreciate your vids and intentions to learn what's going on outside on USA.
theres no excuse for hate. dont apologise, america doesnt really have the same thing for the game. dont feel bad, and besides which the video is a masterpiece. well worth a second reaction.
Ignore the haters, it's like asking us Europeans to react to a compilation from the NFL throughout the ages. That said, this was a real who's who of World footballing history. And you're 100% right in saying that no matter how you enjoyed watching and reacting to the video that it simply and understandably won't ever be as significant to you as it is to us fanatical European fans. Fair play guys as there isn't many channels that care what they put out let alone react so positively in the face of criticism over one piece of content. That's why I and I'm sure many others love you and your honest reactions.❤🇬🇧 PS; U.C.L is the UEFA Champions League.🍻
Here's a bit of context for the goal at 10:37. Pelé was only 17 when he played his first World Cup in 1958. He was the youngest player ever in a World Cup. He missed the first three games because of an injury. His first game was the quartefinal and he scored the winning goal, becoming the youngest player ever to score in a World Cup. He then scored three times in the semifinal. The goal we see here is the first of the two goals he scored in the final (and one of the most iconic in the history of football). In total, he scored six goals in three games. Brazil won the World Cup for the very first time and Pelé became the yougest winner of a World Cup. When the game was over, the whole team carried him on their shoulders and he broke down in tears. That day, a legend was born.
Just want to say that Greece winning the Euro final in 2004 had odds of 150-1. But when Leicester won the 1st premier league title they had odds of 5000-1.
Almost every time I watch this video, there is some moments where I cry... when you see those raw feelings of joy and when you realize that everything that guy was doing in his life was for that moment, he is living his dream since he was little kid... thats something most of us will never experience in our short lifes and we can feel small part of it by just watching it... that is beauty of football...
When Leicester won the premiere league they were actually 5000 to 1 to win it. They were the biggest underdogs ever. No one could understand how they could keep beating everyone. It was a very special year. Everyone wanted them to win it in the end.
Hi, I'm from Germany and I'm happy that you're having so much fun with the game, which I've loved since I can remember. I have watched the video countless times and each time I have had tears in my eyes because I have seen so many of these moments live or on TV. I think you're doing an excellent job and I'd like to say: I enjoy your reactions. Keep it up!
As a football fan of almost 50 years I don't think badly of you. The context of non fans verses lifelong fans is completely different. No apologies needed at all. I completely understand the difficulty for novices struggling to understand the intricacies of football. Thank you for trying. Love your videos, peace to you all❤
Most of the world is obsessed with The Beautiful Game ❤️⚽ We are literally born into it, its everything and we pledge our allegiance to our club for the rest of our lives. Liverpool YNWA ❤
The very DNA of most of us! I am not a Liverpool fan, but I always had a great laugh with you lads when we played each other home and away, even losing to you in a cup final haha from a Birmingham City fan.
Norwegian die hard football fan here. I travel the world to see football. Football is the only thing that makes my grown ass cry like a baby. Football is my nr1. Football will always be there for me and it has more or less saved my life. The video you watch does not justify context. Leicester winning their 1st PL should never have happened. They went into that season ranked absolute bottom. They were expected to finish last but beat the 1/100000000 and won the PL. Not a short cup run but the hardest thing in world football to win. Love your videos guys! Every clip i think arh wish i could sit down with you guys and give you the deep context of every clip
My husband loved Liverpool when he was a little boy growing up in Nairobi. His father introduced him to the club and they used to listen to the BBC world service sports narrators, narrating the games live, or the highlights. My boys are born and bred in Sheffield, yet they are avid fans of Liverpool. It is like they inherited the love for Liverpool from their father and grandfather. My nephews, who are born and bred in a village near Bradford, have heard my husband talking about how heartbreaking it was for him, when Liverpool was in the doldrums. They then became diehard fans as well. So although we love Sheffield United, Liverpool is in our blood.
I will never fault a beginner not understanding everything in football! As long as you are willing to learn and enjoy, you're good in my eyes. Just remember that the World Cup is watched by about 5 BILLION people. So if you have comments that don't appreciate your video's, it's some of them. Much love to you both 💞
Great reaction, the 2019 UCL (UEFA Champions League, which is the top club trophy in Europe) semi final between Liverpool and Barcelona is now known as the Miracle at Anfield, two of Liverpool's main forwards weren't playing and two of Barcelona's main forwards were ex-Liverpool players, so tensions were even higher than normal, but my favourite part is what the manager Jurgen Klopp said to his Liverpool team before the game, "It's impossible, but because it's you we have a chance", still gives me chills!
As a seventy five year old woman thank you for looking at our national sport and trying to understand the rules. I'm a passionate football fan and have been since the age of ten, when my Dad took me to my first game. I've travelled thousands of miles over the years to watch a live match. I absolutely love the game. Although I don't go to watch games any more due to mobility issues my passion is still in my heart. I love watching your videos so thank you for trying to understand why football, or soccer is such a way of life for the majority of people in the U.K.
This video brings tears to my eyes as an Englishman who loves to see other teams play the beautiful game as well as my own English team. Much love to all of the international football family ❤️
the fact that you two are doing this again with context is so much worth.. sure there is much more history sometimes, but these are "the greatest moments", you can't grasp this as a non-football-fan from scratch, this has to be earned keep up the good work, try Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Mohamed Salah, hidden gems in Football
Pausing in that kind of video totally makes sense not only for you - but for the viewers who can enjoy your reaction so much more! So, yay to pausing! Love from Germany 🧡
One important thing you missed!: When Ronaldo scored the bicycle goal for Real Madrid against Juventus. - It was crazy but Ronaldo seems calm and the crowd “only” clapping. Why? Those are Juventus fans 😳. Despite being die hard fans, they recognize true beauty when they see it. RM fans did the same at Bernabeu for Ronaldinho. Man U. as well when “the old” Ronaldo scored a hattrick at Old Trafford. More than anything, this shows the love of the game… ❤
Great reaction. What you've seen there is the peak of national and club football. What's also really amazing about football is that these stories of heartbreak and triumph are happening in so many small clubs in over a 100 football teams in the UK alone. Then add to that the passion of fans in Spain, Italy, France Germany and the rest of Europe, South America, Africa and Asia and it is a truly global but also grassroots phenomenon.
Camp Nou, is fantastic as is Barcelona's Trophy room. Worth a visit. Football as ever, is an Emotional, throat grabbing,Heart tearing entertainment surpassed by nothing else. To see some real skill, watch Roaldino kick a football at the goal crossbar and watch how it comes back to him, time after time, amazing. One of many of footballs amazing skills.
I think that the vast silent majority is regular people that just enjoy your stuff. Kudos to you for wanting to improve though. Glad to see lots of positive comments here. Probably people like me that usually wouldn't comment at all. But we're here! :)
The real beauty of football is pledging your allegiance to one football club for life - it's very much a marriage - there are good times and bad, some unbelievably wonderful highlights and some incredible lows. How my particular team does will have an effect on my mood for several days after (even some of the stuff on this vid still hurts -like the Maradona goals against England in the 1986 World cup) - at the moment things aren't so great with my club (51 years a fan and counting) but there is always the hope that things will get better. The 7-1 thrashing of Brazil by Germany is one of the many things alluded to by Al Murray when doing his German finance rant. Finally, shame on anyone giving you a hard time based on your nationality, I enjoy your videos very much and always look forward to the next one. 😊
A very classy and humble response! Definitely don't take criticism to heart, least of all on youtube of all places!! Acknowledge it maybe, hear it, but don't take it personally! You're doing a great job!
I have a friend of mine who played in America in the 70s for tampa bay rowdies who was friends with pele and franz beckenbauer who were played for new york cosmos . Legends of the game
I think you guys are doing great! I’m English and live and breathe football. It consumes my life in every way possible, from Monday to Sunday I’m always looking at football, playing football or playing for games on my PlayStation, it’s been this way since I was a young kid (I’m now 23). If I tried to get into an American sport I wouldn’t be able to name a single player or team from basketball, baseball ETC. I appreciate your reactions for what they are. Two new people trying to understand the beautiful game. The possibilities are endless with this sport. PS I am a watford fan and my favourite ever moment was our play-off semi final against Leicester in 2013. A last minute penalty to the other game meant we would’ve have missed out on the final to reach the Premier League. We ended up saving the penalty and our main talisman for a decade scored a winner before the referee could blow the whistle. I highly recommend checking out the goal and also the commentary from a sky sports pundit. The reactions and emotions are incredible.
You're right that you have to understand the sport in order to know and appreciate these special moments in depth Thanks for trying to go back and do this again
keep doing what you do ! You brighten up my evenings over here across the Pond ! You and Jess's reaction to British comedy restored my faith in American's attitude to appreciating quality when you see it ! You have only scratched the surface of available material. best wishes !
This was definitely made primarily for people who already have a lot of context, who know what "Barca" or "UCL" or "Anfield" mean. Glad you found the subtitles helpful on the second watch! BUT reaction videos are about your reactions so ignore the haters, watch however you want to and pause as much or as little as you like. You're both lovely people who work hard and give genuine reactions. You're valued and appreciated. 💜
Your names butchering is really cute and charming as you try sooo hard. Ignore the haters, you´re a wonderful couple (especially Southern Belle Jess, lol) and it´s a joy to watch your reactions.....Hugs from Vienna ;)
well done for redoing this reaction it was irksome when the importance of the clips are missed but i would never moan at you because you are both so lovely x
I am glad you got to enjoy the flow of the great football moments and also found out the significance behind the moments, thanks for your re-reaction take care.
The Golden Goal is a rule used in association football, rugby league, lacrosse, field hockey, and ice hockey to decide the winner of a match (typically a knock-out match) in which scores are equal at the end of normal time. It is a type of Sudden Death. Under this rule, the game ends when a goal or point is scored; the team that scores that goal or point during extra time is the winner. Introduced formally in 1993, though with some history before that, the rule ceased to apply to most FIFA-authorized football games in 2004. The similar Silver Goal supplemented the golden goal between 2002 and 2004. The Golden Goal was introduced due to perceived failings of other means of resolving a draw (tie) in round-robin or knock-out tournaments where a winner is required. In particular, extra time periods can be tense and unentertaining as sides are too tired and nervous to attack, preferring to defend and play for penalties; whilst penalty shootouts are often described as based upon luck, and unrepresentative of football. FIFA introduced the Golden Goal rule in 1993. It was hoped that the Golden Goal would produce more attacking play during extra time, and would reduce the number of penalty shootouts. The term Golden Goal was introduced by FIFA in 1993 along with the rule change because the alternative term, "sudden death", was perceived to have negative connotations. In a knockout competition, following a draw, two fifteen-minute periods of extra time are played. If either team scores a goal during extra time, the game ends immediately and the scoring team becomes the winner. The winning goal is known as the "Golden Goal". If there have been no goals scored after both periods of extra time, a penalty shoot-out decides the game. The Golden Goal was not compulsory, and individual competitions using extra time could choose whether to apply it during extra time. ⬅⚠⚽🔥
As soon as i see that clip, Ibra going after the ball, i get goosebumps before anything even happens, just knowing what is going to come. That is the craziest goal i have ever seen. Absolutelly unexpected, which is exactly what to expect from Ibrahimovic.
No need of apologies, i really apreciate that u made another reaction, means u apreciate your audience. Beautiful reaction! Cheers from argentina. PD: The golden goal was the way to break a tie. The first one to score the goal in extra time of the match automatically won. But today it is no longer valid.
I noticed you did not know that Messi and Maradona are two of the greatest players to ever play for Argentina. That's why the" goal of the century" thing makes even more sense.
The golden goal rule : in knockout games, if the score at the end of regular time is a draw there is another 30 minutes of extra time. During that extra time the first team to score wins the match and the match ends. That goal is the golden goal.
안녕하세요 한국에서 보고 있는 구독자입니다. 축구에 대해서 잘 모르시는 분들이 리액션하는 영상인거 같은데, 접근하시는 방식이 너무 진심으로 이해하려는것같아서 너무 기분좋고 재밌게 봤습니다. 조금 안좋은 반응들도 있을수있지만 저처럼 재밌게보는 사람이 더 많으니까 좋은 에너지 많이 받으시고 힘내세요 잘보고갑니다 재밌어요
26:38 That last commentary was Thierry Roland, the most famous French commentator. He commentated 13 World Cups, 9 Euros, and a total of 1300+ games. His first World Cup commentary was in 1960. What we hear here is what he said after France finally won its first World Cup in 1998 : "After having seen that, we can die happy. The later the better, but we can." He died in 2012. There was a minute of silence for him at the beginning of Sweden vs France at the 2012 Euro.
I don’t comment often on TH-cam but thought this video deserved a comment. A big well done in going back to react to this video again and taking the feedback (even though I’m sure some were unnecessarily negative) into account. Great reaction and if you’re interested in watching more videos of players I’d suggest - Lionel Messi - The GOAT - Ronaldinho the greatest entertainment (his skills will blow your mind!) - Lionel Messi - World Champion Keep up the great work!
When it comes to Messi vs Ronaldo. They are both out of this world. I have reached a point where I’m just happy to have been alive in their prime. Watch them both
I am not a football enthusiast but appreciate the immense skill in compilations such as this. From the 60s and 70s I can recommend you to react to the skills of George Best - there are some great compilation videos of him on TH-cam. His skill was out of this world.
Don't know if you will agree or not, but for me, football is the only sport that brings the world together, united as one; football will one day, hopefully, bring peace throughout. God Bless You Both 🙏❤️
I love your channel, it's very entertaining, and I love Jess's laugh. Don't listen to the haters, it's not your fault your country's education system has failed you, and you're working in your second language. I say that's very well done. Keep up the good work.
Let the haters hate....I love watching your natural reaction to something we all love here in the UK (well, most of us). Thanks for the new reaction though, if you're ever in Europe, I'd highly recommend going to a live footy match, you'll love it!!
That first video was great, hence why I’ve clicked straight onto this one! I thought this was more of it not a repeat😂😂😂 Ignore the keyboard warriors, who could have gently nudged your attention to them instead of whatever nonsense they said 😂😂 Loved the first and thanks for this one!
While there was no need for you to do this (trolls gonna troll) it's really cool that you did, the subtitles do add a lot of great context. I subscribed after seeing you'd addressed this in such a cool way!
Brazil are generally regarded as the best international team of all time, often favourites to win. That's why beating them is special, hammering them is another level.
lol! I didn’t even notice that you missed the subtitles because I was just reading them and enjoying the video. Take no notice, you’re a lovely couple and I just enjoy watching you hold out the hand of friendship across “The Pond”. I despise your warmongering politicians on both sides, as I despise U.K. politicians, but you’d be welcome at our table in our home any time - thank you for what you do, it’s much appreciated. Love from the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border, England U.K. ❤🙏
To be fair, the clip was made for people already understanding the context, I can't imagine making sense of it without already knowing what it's about. Also a video I think no other reaction channel approached so far but which is a super insight into football rivalry and the people behind the teams is "900 Years of Hate | Derby Days Lombardia | Brescia Calcio v Atalanta B.C.". It will allow you to understand the fans mentality not only in Italy but in many parts of Europe. I will subscribe and wait for it :)
I was one of the people who asked you to watch it again (not one of the rude ones) and watched it again with you. I respect everything you said about it and the first video. I think we ‘the football fans’ owe you an apology and explanation as to why we were so passionate about you watching it with context. It’s because we’re obsessed, and we want everyone to be obsessed. To football fans born and bred in England, only close family members are more important than our team. Our team is more important than our religion or our jobs. If our wives want us to go to a wedding when a big match is on, we miss part of the wedding 😂. So when we see a couple of people trying to learn about the beauty of football, our over zealous egos want those people to get it. Thanks for watching again. I love your passion for your subscribers and your channel. And mate, I love your OCD for getting things right, I have that too 😂
That was GREAT. Thanks for the re-visit. Manchester City winning with the " AG RE OU" scream was because they needed TWO goals in the last 4 minutes to win their first Title for 40+ years AND deprive their bitter rivals: Manchester United, who were celebrating, assuming they had won(their game finished 5 minutes earlier) That ENDED Man Uniteds incredible success of 12 Titles in 17(?) years and STARTED The Manchester City DYNASTY and Man City have won the last 4 league titles. Not only did Leicester win their only league in 130 years but they were FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE,to win the league that season. That IS an UNDERDOG!
@RegenerationNationTV French here. 26:37 what the french commenter said (it was after the 1998 France's victory, the 1st time is always unforgettable, isn't it ?^^) : "After seeing that, one can die in peace, well, as late as possible of course, but one can !". I think it was put there in this video because it summarizes what it is for a nation, any nation, to win the World Cup. When the SuperBowl is watched by 150M people, give or take, the football World Cup is watched by 4B people, half of mankind, give or take ! That's what it means, how much it weights on the happy few actually on the grass playing ! Fun fact, i broke the horn of my car that day, honking insanly to share the happiness 😅 and saw people shaking a cop car with the cops inside, so hard i thought it was about to roll (fortunately not) and the cops were laughing and smilling so hard, all the streets were litterally invaded by joyfull people, it was trully an incredible moment !!! Thank you for recalling these memories ! 🖖
That's the way to do it if you don't understand the impact of some of these moments. I totally get you can't feel the emotion of the fans of these teams but can see the magic they can produce.
The thing about football stadiums is that they honestly aren't as big capacity wise as American stadiums (mostly due to population differences) but iconic football grounds as known less for capacity than they are for atmosphere. Generated by the singing and dancing supporters, and the acoustics of the ground.
That Maradona and Messi goal too, where they were basically identical is amazing also due to the fact that both of them are Argentinian, and the greatest player for their country of their respective times.
Yeah, just like they say right before that even with the subtitles it's so hard to grasp the actual context unless they've actually followed football. Like Messi and Maradona both being Argentinians and both being the best players in the world but in different time periods. And just how Messi has always been compared to Maradona given all of that.
You could look up the best moments of every player in this video and you'd spend all day with your jaw dropped to the floor just on one player. That free kick curl, was Roberto Carlos, he did that so often being fouled outside the box with him playing was almost as good as a goal. This is why we love football. You can ask any football fan here what their favourite goal was, and they'll talk your ear off.
Bicycle kicks are attempted by many but as you seem to appreciate they look so spectacular because not many pull them off, especially in the big games. You need to be absolutely on top of your game, a top athelete.
No appologies needed, props to you doing this for people, says alot about you guys. To be honest, you never going to understand fully football, I mean no disrepect, in The UK and europe, your born to football, playing as a kid with friends, joining teams, i started playing team football at 7 years old, played for the under 9's, the under 11's then under 13's and under 15's, all in mini leagues, The team you support, is the town your born in, that never changes. As you have seen the chants, the saturday afternoon football, few beers before and after. The bond between fans. through good and bad times. The same way, we dont get baseball or american football, we know it, and can like the game, its a passion. but, through your channel, you are learning football, the cultures, Just in the UK there are 5000 clubs and 7000 teams, from 7 year olds, to over 50's clubs
To be fair, even the subtitles don’t give justice to a lot of what happened. As an American you can’t be expected to know what is going on. Just like most Brits wouldn’t appreciate a Hail Mary to win the Super Bowl. Some of these moments are special because of the occasion or because of what has happened in that particular match. I would recommend watching the miracle of Istanbul. The European cup final between Liverpool and AC Milan. Liverpool were underdogs and came back from 3-0 down to win. A lot of fans even left the stadium early.
I'm no football fan at all. But I caught that final minute of the England - Greece match where David Beckham had to score that free kick to keep England in the competition. Bending that ball into the top corner in what I think was the very last minute of the game, under that level of pressure- even I have to applaud that level of skill.
Dont you two worry yourselves about the haters, whatever villgae, town or city you are born in, that football team becomes your life obsession, for good or bad! it is such a passion over here, and people can get carried away😊
Kudos for going back to this, context is everything. Having said that, it's not European Football, it's World Football... better watch this a 3rd time😂😂
Golden goal was an experiment. Basically it was next goal wins where previously (and after the experiment) games played a specified period of extra time (15 minutes each way).
Football is the sport of the underdogs. Because of the low amount of goals, each goal is incredibly important AND it's not rare for a weaker team to play worse and still be capable of winning with a lone attack and goal.
I first went to watch Manchester United in 1979 at Old Trafford. I was 15 and stood in the Stretford end. It Coast me one pound for thr coach fare and 50p to go in to the ground,
I just watched your original reaction and as a massive footie fan I must say... I also didn't read the subtitles! Just starting this vid now so let's see what they say 😂
The video actually shows Brazil winning the 1958 and 1970 World Cups. Including Pelé crying of happines, having scored the winning goal at the age of 16, in 1958. There is also a goal by Garrincha, which might be from the 1962 World Cup, also won by Brazil.
Absolutely no apologies needed from you two! Ignore the pillocks and be yourselves. Much respect to you from South East England.
Exactly.When you don't grow upwith the sport and the names it is just a mess of letters.
Fellow SE England’s agreeing with you
Too much brainless biomass out there. Please no apologies, you're doing good and not much germans even care about US sports. I appreciate your vids and intentions to learn what's going on outside on USA.
Not heard the word pillocks used for a while. Well done sir. 😂❤
Agree with others take no notice of these pillocks 😂 from a brummie
theres no excuse for hate. dont apologise, america doesnt really have the same thing for the game. dont feel bad, and besides which the video is a masterpiece. well worth a second reaction.
nice true words
Ignore the haters, it's like asking us Europeans to react to a compilation from the NFL throughout the ages. That said, this was a real who's who of World footballing history. And you're 100% right in saying that no matter how you enjoyed watching and reacting to the video that it simply and understandably won't ever be as significant to you as it is to us fanatical European fans.
Fair play guys as there isn't many channels that care what they put out let alone react so positively in the face of criticism over one piece of content. That's why I and I'm sure many others love you and your honest reactions.❤🇬🇧
PS; U.C.L is the UEFA Champions League.🍻
Here's a bit of context for the goal at 10:37.
Pelé was only 17 when he played his first World Cup in 1958.
He was the youngest player ever in a World Cup.
He missed the first three games because of an injury.
His first game was the quartefinal and he scored the winning goal, becoming the youngest player ever to score in a World Cup.
He then scored three times in the semifinal.
The goal we see here is the first of the two goals he scored in the final (and one of the most iconic in the history of football).
In total, he scored six goals in three games.
Brazil won the World Cup for the very first time and Pelé became the yougest winner of a World Cup.
When the game was over, the whole team carried him on their shoulders and he broke down in tears.
That day, a legend was born.
Just want to say that Greece winning the Euro final in 2004 had odds of 150-1. But when Leicester won the 1st premier league title they had odds of 5000-1.
haha beat me to it , true story a guy at my old work , who knew nothing about football bet on Leicester winning the league that year LOL , he won 5k.
Same. Just saying lol... 😂
I was on vacation in Greece when they won. It was insane. Surreal!
@witchkingangmar8145 I had a fiver on and cashed put early, biggest mistake of my life
Almost every time I watch this video, there is some moments where I cry... when you see those raw feelings of joy and when you realize that everything that guy was doing in his life was for that moment, he is living his dream since he was little kid... thats something most of us will never experience in our short lifes and we can feel small part of it by just watching it... that is beauty of football...
When Leicester won the premiere league they were actually 5000 to 1 to win it. They were the biggest underdogs ever. No one could understand how they could keep beating everyone. It was a very special year. Everyone wanted them to win it in the end.
Hi, I'm from Germany and I'm happy that you're having so much fun with the game, which I've loved since I can remember. I have watched the video countless times and each time I have had tears in my eyes because I have seen so many of these moments live or on TV. I think you're doing an excellent job and I'd like to say: I enjoy your reactions. Keep it up!
As a football fan of almost 50 years I don't think badly of you. The context of non fans verses lifelong fans is completely different. No apologies needed at all. I completely understand the difficulty for novices struggling to understand the intricacies of football. Thank you for trying. Love your videos, peace to you all❤
Most of the world is obsessed with The Beautiful Game ❤️⚽ We are literally born into it, its everything and we pledge our allegiance to our club for the rest of our lives.
Liverpool YNWA ❤
YNWA❤
See you Sunday on Old Trafford! 💖#YouNeverWinAnything
The very DNA of most of us! I am not a Liverpool fan, but I always had a great laugh with you lads when we played each other home and away, even losing to you in a cup final haha from a Birmingham City fan.
A Geordie from Newcastle and Newcastle United is my team for life i totally agree with you buddy, even tho I despise you’re team atm 😳😜😉
YSB.
MUFC.
Norwegian die hard football fan here. I travel the world to see football. Football is the only thing that makes my grown ass cry like a baby. Football is my nr1. Football will always be there for me and it has more or less saved my life. The video you watch does not justify context. Leicester winning their 1st PL should never have happened. They went into that season ranked absolute bottom. They were expected to finish last but beat the 1/100000000 and won the PL. Not a short cup run but the hardest thing in world football to win. Love your videos guys! Every clip i think arh wish i could sit down with you guys and give you the deep context of every clip
My husband loved Liverpool when he was a little boy growing up in Nairobi. His father introduced him to the club and they used to listen to the BBC world service sports narrators, narrating the games live, or the highlights. My boys are born and bred in Sheffield, yet they are avid fans of Liverpool. It is like they inherited the love for Liverpool from their father and grandfather.
My nephews, who are born and bred in a village near Bradford, have heard my husband talking about how heartbreaking it was for him, when Liverpool was in the doldrums. They then became diehard fans as well. So although we love Sheffield United, Liverpool is in our blood.
I will never fault a beginner not understanding everything in football!
As long as you are willing to learn and enjoy, you're good in my eyes.
Just remember that the World Cup is watched by about 5 BILLION people. So if you have comments that don't appreciate your video's, it's some of them.
Much love to you both 💞
Peace and love from England ❤
Great reaction, the 2019 UCL (UEFA Champions League, which is the top club trophy in Europe) semi final between Liverpool and Barcelona is now known as the Miracle at Anfield, two of Liverpool's main forwards weren't playing and two of Barcelona's main forwards were ex-Liverpool players, so tensions were even higher than normal, but my favourite part is what the manager Jurgen Klopp said to his Liverpool team before the game, "It's impossible, but because it's you we have a chance", still gives me chills!
As a seventy five year old woman thank you for looking at our national sport and trying to understand the rules. I'm a passionate football fan and have been since the age of ten, when my Dad took me to my first game. I've travelled thousands of miles over the years to watch a live match. I absolutely love the game. Although I don't go to watch games any more due to mobility issues my passion is still in my heart. I love watching your videos so thank you for trying to understand why football, or soccer is such a way of life for the majority of people in the U.K.
This video brings tears to my eyes as an Englishman who loves to see other teams play the beautiful game as well as my own English team. Much love to all of the international football family ❤️
the fact that you two are doing this again with context is so much worth.. sure there is much more history sometimes, but these are "the greatest moments", you can't grasp this as a non-football-fan from scratch, this has to be earned
keep up the good work, try Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Mohamed Salah, hidden gems in Football
Pausing in that kind of video totally makes sense not only for you - but for the viewers who can enjoy your reaction so much more! So, yay to pausing! Love from Germany 🧡
You're a wonderful couple. Ignore the haters. Most of them wouldnt even know which way a lift was going even if they had 2 guesses
One important thing you missed!: When Ronaldo scored the bicycle goal for Real Madrid against Juventus. - It was crazy but Ronaldo seems calm and the crowd “only” clapping. Why?
Those are Juventus fans 😳. Despite being die hard fans, they recognize true beauty when they see it.
RM fans did the same at Bernabeu for Ronaldinho.
Man U. as well when “the old” Ronaldo scored a hattrick at Old Trafford.
More than anything, this shows the love of the game… ❤

Great reaction. What you've seen there is the peak of national and club football. What's also really amazing about football is that these stories of heartbreak and triumph are happening in so many small clubs in over a 100 football teams in the UK alone. Then add to that the passion of fans in Spain, Italy, France Germany and the rest of Europe, South America, Africa and Asia and it is a truly global but also grassroots phenomenon.
Camp Nou, is fantastic as is Barcelona's Trophy room. Worth a visit. Football as ever, is an Emotional, throat grabbing,Heart tearing entertainment surpassed by nothing else. To see some real skill, watch Roaldino kick
a football at the goal crossbar and watch how it comes back to him, time after time, amazing. One of many
of footballs amazing skills.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Tested to the limit is an absolute must watch when you're first starting out too
bravo taking the time to redo it. I'm glad u found value in the rewatch
ppl shouldn't have been giving hate. u guys are lovely as us brits would say
I think that the vast silent majority is regular people that just enjoy your stuff. Kudos to you for wanting to improve though. Glad to see lots of positive comments here. Probably people like me that usually wouldn't comment at all. But we're here! :)
The real beauty of football is pledging your allegiance to one football club for life - it's very much a marriage - there are good times and bad, some unbelievably wonderful highlights and some incredible lows. How my particular team does will have an effect on my mood for several days after (even some of the stuff on this vid still hurts -like the Maradona goals against England in the 1986 World cup) - at the moment things aren't so great with my club (51 years a fan and counting) but there is always the hope that things will get better. The 7-1 thrashing of Brazil by Germany is one of the many things alluded to by Al Murray when doing his German finance rant. Finally, shame on anyone giving you a hard time based on your nationality, I enjoy your videos very much and always look forward to the next one. 😊
A very classy and humble response! Definitely don't take criticism to heart, least of all on youtube of all places!! Acknowledge it maybe, hear it, but don't take it personally! You're doing a great job!
I’m from Scotland but I’ll admit that beckham goal against Greece gave me chills what a goal
You both are adorable, really love your content, very respectful and open minded, much love from England 🇬🇧❤️
I have a friend of mine who played in America in the 70s for tampa bay rowdies who was friends with pele and franz beckenbauer who were played for new york cosmos . Legends of the game
I think you guys are doing great! I’m English and live and breathe football. It consumes my life in every way possible, from Monday to Sunday I’m always looking at football, playing football or playing for games on my PlayStation, it’s been this way since I was a young kid (I’m now 23). If I tried to get into an American sport I wouldn’t be able to name a single player or team from basketball, baseball ETC. I appreciate your reactions for what they are. Two new people trying to understand the beautiful game. The possibilities are endless with this sport. PS I am a watford fan and my favourite ever moment was our play-off semi final against Leicester in 2013. A last minute penalty to the other game meant we would’ve have missed out on the final to reach the Premier League. We ended up saving the penalty and our main talisman for a decade scored a winner before the referee could blow the whistle. I highly recommend checking out the goal and also the commentary from a sky sports pundit. The reactions and emotions are incredible.
You're right that you have to understand the sport in order to know and appreciate these special moments in depth
Thanks for trying to go back and do this again
No matter how often I am seeing this clip, I always tearing up seeing these special moments of footballs history.
keep doing what you do ! You brighten up my evenings over here across the Pond ! You and Jess's reaction to British comedy restored my faith in American's attitude to appreciating quality when you see it ! You have only scratched the surface of available material. best wishes !
This was definitely made primarily for people who already have a lot of context, who know what "Barca" or "UCL" or "Anfield" mean. Glad you found the subtitles helpful on the second watch! BUT reaction videos are about your reactions so ignore the haters, watch however you want to and pause as much or as little as you like. You're both lovely people who work hard and give genuine reactions. You're valued and appreciated. 💜
Your names butchering is really cute and charming as you try sooo hard. Ignore the haters, you´re a wonderful couple (especially Southern Belle Jess, lol) and it´s a joy to watch your reactions.....Hugs from Vienna ;)
well done for redoing this reaction it was irksome when the importance of the clips are missed but i would never moan at you because you are both so lovely x
I am glad you got to enjoy the flow of the great football moments and also found out the significance behind the moments, thanks for your re-reaction take care.
This has got to be the best edited football video on TH-cam
Well done guys that was a massive video to try and make sense of.
The Golden Goal is a rule used in association football, rugby league, lacrosse, field hockey, and ice hockey to decide the winner of a match (typically a knock-out match) in which scores are equal at the end of normal time. It is a type of Sudden Death. Under this rule, the game ends when a goal or point is scored; the team that scores that goal or point during extra time is the winner. Introduced formally in 1993, though with some history before that, the rule ceased to apply to most FIFA-authorized football games in 2004. The similar Silver Goal supplemented the golden goal between 2002 and 2004. The Golden Goal was introduced due to perceived failings of other means of resolving a draw (tie) in round-robin or knock-out tournaments where a winner is required. In particular, extra time periods can be tense and unentertaining as sides are too tired and nervous to attack, preferring to defend and play for penalties; whilst penalty shootouts are often described as based upon luck, and unrepresentative of football. FIFA introduced the Golden Goal rule in 1993. It was hoped that the Golden Goal would produce more attacking play during extra time, and would reduce the number of penalty shootouts. The term Golden Goal was introduced by FIFA in 1993 along with the rule change because the alternative term, "sudden death", was perceived to have negative connotations. In a knockout competition, following a draw, two fifteen-minute periods of extra time are played. If either team scores a goal during extra time, the game ends immediately and the scoring team becomes the winner. The winning goal is known as the "Golden Goal". If there have been no goals scored after both periods of extra time, a penalty shoot-out decides the game. The Golden Goal was not compulsory, and individual competitions using extra time could choose whether to apply it during extra time. ⬅⚠⚽🔥
As soon as i see that clip, Ibra going after the ball, i get goosebumps before anything even happens, just knowing what is going to come. That is the craziest goal i have ever seen. Absolutelly unexpected, which is exactly what to expect from Ibrahimovic.
Please ignore the rude people. You two are my favourite couple doing reaction videos. Love from Lancashire England xx
Golden goal is first to score goal in Extra time Wins. You guys rock , don't worry what people say. Hello from Ireland.
I didn’t even notice this the first time! Thought it was great and you still felt the beauty of it and were so respectful. Forget the haters ❤
No need of apologies, i really apreciate that u made another reaction, means u apreciate your audience. Beautiful reaction! Cheers from argentina. PD: The golden goal was the way to break a tie. The first one to score the goal in extra time of the match automatically won. But today it is no longer valid.
Your reactions are the best.
❤ from Luxembourg.
I noticed you did not know that Messi and Maradona are two of the greatest players to ever play for Argentina. That's why the" goal of the century" thing makes even more sense.
❤ Gracias amigos
The black and white brings me to tears, just glorious
The golden goal rule : in knockout games, if the score at the end of regular time is a draw there is another 30 minutes of extra time. During that extra time the first team to score wins the match and the match ends. That goal is the golden goal.
I truely appreciate your awareness of not being able to follow up on whats going on, and actually takes the time to break it all down. BIG KUDOS TO U.
안녕하세요 한국에서 보고 있는 구독자입니다. 축구에 대해서 잘 모르시는 분들이 리액션하는 영상인거 같은데, 접근하시는 방식이 너무 진심으로 이해하려는것같아서 너무 기분좋고 재밌게 봤습니다. 조금 안좋은 반응들도 있을수있지만 저처럼 재밌게보는 사람이 더 많으니까 좋은 에너지 많이 받으시고 힘내세요 잘보고갑니다 재밌어요
Got a like for being humble… well done. Knew there was a reason we like you 😉
26:38
That last commentary was Thierry Roland, the most famous French commentator.
He commentated 13 World Cups, 9 Euros, and a total of 1300+ games.
His first World Cup commentary was in 1960.
What we hear here is what he said after France finally won its first World Cup in 1998 :
"After having seen that, we can die happy. The later the better, but we can."
He died in 2012. There was a minute of silence for him at the beginning of Sweden vs France at the 2012 Euro.
I don’t comment often on TH-cam but thought this video deserved a comment. A big well done in going back to react to this video again and taking the feedback (even though I’m sure some were unnecessarily negative) into account. Great reaction and if you’re interested in watching more videos of players I’d suggest
- Lionel Messi - The GOAT
- Ronaldinho the greatest entertainment (his skills will blow your mind!)
- Lionel Messi - World Champion
Keep up the great work!
Dont apologize u guys did it well greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
When it comes to Messi vs Ronaldo. They are both out of this world. I have reached a point where I’m just happy to have been alive in their prime. Watch them both
I am not a football enthusiast but appreciate the immense skill in compilations such as this. From the 60s and 70s I can recommend you to react to the skills of George Best - there are some great compilation videos of him on TH-cam. His skill was out of this world.
When it’s the whole world playing, watching, wanting their team to win. The most popular sport on the entire earth….then you win. Just imagine!
Don't know if you will agree or not, but for me, football is the only sport that brings the world together, united as one; football will one day, hopefully, bring peace throughout. God Bless You Both 🙏❤️
I love your channel, it's very entertaining, and I love Jess's laugh. Don't listen to the haters, it's not your fault your country's education system has failed you, and you're working in your second language. I say that's very well done. Keep up the good work.
Better reaction this time to you and the wife i enjoyed y'all reaction please do more 😅 bless day
Let the haters hate....I love watching your natural reaction to something we all love here in the UK (well, most of us). Thanks for the new reaction though, if you're ever in Europe, I'd highly recommend going to a live footy match, you'll love it!!
I was in Rhodes on holiday in 2004 when Greece won and the place went nuts, cars honking, they threw the (fully clothed) waiters into the pool!
That first video was great, hence why I’ve clicked straight onto this one! I thought this was more of it not a repeat😂😂😂
Ignore the keyboard warriors, who could have gently nudged your attention to them instead of whatever nonsense they said 😂😂 Loved the first and thanks for this one!
While there was no need for you to do this (trolls gonna troll) it's really cool that you did, the subtitles do add a lot of great context. I subscribed after seeing you'd addressed this in such a cool way!
Brazil are generally regarded as the best international team of all time, often favourites to win. That's why beating them is special, hammering them is another level.
Respect for doing it again better. Shows alot
Some of these moments were absolutely insane 😮😮😮😮
lol! I didn’t even notice that you missed the subtitles because I was just reading them and enjoying the video. Take no notice, you’re a lovely couple and I just enjoy watching you hold out the hand of friendship across “The Pond”. I despise your warmongering politicians on both sides, as I despise U.K. politicians, but you’d be welcome at our table in our home any time - thank you for what you do, it’s much appreciated. Love from the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border, England U.K. ❤🙏
To be fair, the clip was made for people already understanding the context, I can't imagine making sense of it without already knowing what it's about.
Also a video I think no other reaction channel approached so far but which is a super insight into football rivalry and the people behind the teams is "900 Years of Hate | Derby Days Lombardia | Brescia Calcio v Atalanta B.C.". It will allow you to understand the fans mentality not only in Italy but in many parts of Europe. I will subscribe and wait for it :)
I was one of the people who asked you to watch it again (not one of the rude ones) and watched it again with you. I respect everything you said about it and the first video. I think we ‘the football fans’ owe you an apology and explanation as to why we were so passionate about you watching it with context. It’s because we’re obsessed, and we want everyone to be obsessed. To football fans born and bred in England, only close family members are more important than our team. Our team is more important than our religion or our jobs. If our wives want us to go to a wedding when a big match is on, we miss part of the wedding 😂. So when we see a couple of people trying to learn about the beauty of football, our over zealous egos want those people to get it. Thanks for watching again. I love your passion for your subscribers and your channel. And mate, I love your OCD for getting things right, I have that too 😂
That was GREAT. Thanks for the re-visit. Manchester City winning with the " AG RE OU" scream was because they needed TWO goals in the last 4 minutes to win their first Title for 40+ years AND deprive their bitter rivals: Manchester United, who were celebrating, assuming they had won(their game finished 5 minutes earlier) That ENDED Man Uniteds incredible success of 12 Titles in 17(?) years and STARTED The Manchester City DYNASTY and Man City have won the last 4 league titles.
Not only did Leicester win their only league in 130 years but they were FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE,to win the league that season. That IS an UNDERDOG!
Mo Kudus goal vs Freiburg is always worth a watch! Also Payet vs Palace
I really appreciate that you actually did a new reaction because of the viewers critizism, not many would do that.❤
7:47 after 2 decades I still don´t completely comprehend what Bergkamp did there
finally someone watches this f****ng video by reading the subtitles to understand the f****g context of the episodes. Well done! New sub here.
@RegenerationNationTV French here. 26:37 what the french commenter said (it was after the 1998 France's victory, the 1st time is always unforgettable, isn't it ?^^) : "After seeing that, one can die in peace, well, as late as possible of course, but one can !". I think it was put there in this video because it summarizes what it is for a nation, any nation, to win the World Cup. When the SuperBowl is watched by 150M people, give or take, the football World Cup is watched by 4B people, half of mankind, give or take ! That's what it means, how much it weights on the happy few actually on the grass playing !
Fun fact, i broke the horn of my car that day, honking insanly to share the happiness 😅 and saw people shaking a cop car with the cops inside, so hard i thought it was about to roll (fortunately not) and the cops were laughing and smilling so hard, all the streets were litterally invaded by joyfull people, it was trully an incredible moment !!! Thank you for recalling these memories ! 🖖
Bless, you are such nice people.
That's the way to do it if you don't understand the impact of some of these moments. I totally get you can't feel the emotion of the fans of these teams but can see the magic they can produce.
The thing about football stadiums is that they honestly aren't as big capacity wise as American stadiums (mostly due to population differences) but iconic football grounds as known less for capacity than they are for atmosphere. Generated by the singing and dancing supporters, and the acoustics of the ground.
That Maradona and Messi goal too, where they were basically identical is amazing also due to the fact that both of them are Argentinian, and the greatest player for their country of their respective times.
Yeah, just like they say right before that even with the subtitles it's so hard to grasp the actual context unless they've actually followed football. Like Messi and Maradona both being Argentinians and both being the best players in the world but in different time periods. And just how Messi has always been compared to Maradona given all of that.
You could look up the best moments of every player in this video and you'd spend all day with your jaw dropped to the floor just on one player.
That free kick curl, was Roberto Carlos, he did that so often being fouled outside the box with him playing was almost as good as a goal.
This is why we love football. You can ask any football fan here what their favourite goal was, and they'll talk your ear off.
Bicycle kicks are attempted by many but as you seem to appreciate they look so spectacular because not many pull them off, especially in the big games. You need to be absolutely on top of your game, a top athelete.
It's all goals that made the team win a trophy. Its how much one goal can do for a team and the madness around it
No appologies needed, props to you doing this for people, says alot about you guys.
To be honest, you never going to understand fully football, I mean no disrepect, in The UK and europe, your born to football, playing as a kid with friends, joining teams, i started playing team football at 7 years old, played for the under 9's, the under 11's then under 13's and under 15's, all in mini leagues, The team you support, is the town your born in, that never changes. As you have seen the chants, the saturday afternoon football, few beers before and after. The bond between fans. through good and bad times.
The same way, we dont get baseball or american football, we know it, and can like the game, its a passion. but, through your channel, you are learning football, the cultures, Just in the UK there are 5000 clubs and 7000 teams, from 7 year olds, to over 50's clubs
To be fair, even the subtitles don’t give justice to a lot of what happened. As an American you can’t be expected to know what is going on. Just like most Brits wouldn’t appreciate a Hail Mary to win the Super Bowl. Some of these moments are special because of the occasion or because of what has happened in that particular match.
I would recommend watching the miracle of Istanbul. The European cup final between Liverpool and AC Milan. Liverpool were underdogs and came back from 3-0 down to win. A lot of fans even left the stadium early.
I'm no football fan at all. But I caught that final minute of the England - Greece match where David Beckham had to score that free kick to keep England in the competition. Bending that ball into the top corner in what I think was the very last minute of the game, under that level of pressure- even I have to applaud that level of skill.
Dont you two worry yourselves about the haters, whatever villgae, town or city you are born in, that football team becomes your life obsession, for good or bad! it is such a passion over here, and people can get carried away😊
Kudos for going back to this, context is everything. Having said that, it's not European Football, it's World Football... better watch this a 3rd time😂😂
Golden goal was an experiment. Basically it was next goal wins where previously (and after the experiment) games played a specified period of extra time (15 minutes each way).
I dont know what the hell it is... but just watching this video with you made a grown man water at the eyes... what the f.... is wrong with us!? 😂
Football is the sport of the underdogs. Because of the low amount of goals, each goal is incredibly important AND it's not rare for a weaker team to play worse and still be capable of winning with a lone attack and goal.
I first went to watch Manchester United in 1979 at Old Trafford. I was 15 and stood in the Stretford end. It Coast me one pound for thr coach fare and 50p to go in to the ground,
I just watched your original reaction and as a massive footie fan I must say... I also didn't read the subtitles! Just starting this vid now so let's see what they say 😂
You must watch, last night of the proms, land of hope and glory.
From France 🇫🇷
Football ❤️
The video actually shows Brazil winning the 1958 and 1970 World Cups. Including Pelé crying of happines, having scored the winning goal at the age of 16, in 1958.
There is also a goal by Garrincha, which might be from the 1962 World Cup, also won by Brazil.
