- The 21st century has given us one of the greatest national teams of all time, in Spain, possibly the greatest club side we've ever seen, in Barcelona, and, arguably, the two greatest footballers of all time, in Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
In this video, following twelve months of work, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the greatest players since 2000 in every position, from goalkeepers to strikers, the greatest managers, and ultimately a greatest XI & squad from throughout the period.

3Hours? Yeah that's a movie, I don't mind watching it though,
your content is great. Appreciate your effort 🔥🔥🔥
Best Football content on TH-cam
@@PSLBeyondFootball I totally Agree
Congrats !
Do you usually prefer flicking through tiktok?
@@lilnutty6821 What do you mean?
Big respect for all the effort you put into your videos. Hope this video blows up. This shows how TH-camrs really work massive amounts over a few months.
3 hours is crazy. Is that actually a record?
It's not gonna blow up cause it's 3 hours and people don't have the time for that. Also I expect that the vid is a combination of his series, not a new 3 hr vid
It's not expected this video will blow up for two reasons: it's way too long for causal audiences and the regulars have already watched the standalone videos.
@@soundscape26I usually get 1+ hours long videos in my recommended, so it depends. I like long videos
Omg 3 and a half hour video. Thank you, will have something to listen while working ❤
Excited for the vlogs!
Wow Alfie
Big respect for all the effort you put into your videos, this one is huge!
I was waiting for this leviathan of a video. Thanks Alf for all the work you do, these videos really mean a lot to me during the past well, about 7 years. Hope this video lets you buy something nice, you deserve it.
Hey Alfie! I'm a huge fan of your works and a long term subscriber of this channel. I live in Germany and also plan to watch the Euros. Is it possible for you arrange a meet and greet for the fans of the channel living in Germany?
Cheers and have a great weekend! 😄
My god 3 hours of Alfie's greatness ?
I'm in
Just finished listening to the whole 3 hours and 32 minutes. Awesome work!
Alfie love these longer vids. Listening on my drive today. 🔥

Thanks Alfie for all that content!
New 3hr long videos from Alfie is something I never thought I could dream of
Thanks Alfie
The peak of football will be this, every player will have to be capable of playing every position (bar goal kepper)
And in doing so everyone will be able to rotate and cover any position.
Remember the video about "Why Don't English Clubs Dominate in Europe?", which was posted several weeks ago?
With Premier League teams already gone in both Champions League and Europa League, I think this thing should be mentioned again.
Btw, 3 hours of video sounds like when you watch a movie, lol.
This was a lot of work. Deserves more views
great video!
The holy amalgamation!
Congratulations on a job well-done.
I don't know quite what this says about me as a human being,however,that Oliver kaan story about the charity penalty shootout with the distraught school children is the single most hilarious story in all of football history and simultaneously the most German thing that's ever happened and has subsequently made Oliver my favourite ever footballer,so,er,thanks for that Mr Sevens,nice one,brilliant.
perfect for my 5hr train journey, thanks alfie
This video is almost 4 hours long.
I'm most impressed, Alfie.
Imo Lahm is the best fullback ever played the game because he just shut down everyone he played against. His most impressive stats are he never received a red card in his career and played a whole season without booking even a single foul. 🤯
There's was no player who could beat him in a isolated 1on1 situation. Just magnificent defending out of this world.
Video Idea
The 7 best player managers ( people who have managed a club while still playing with them Ryan Giggs for example)
Love the vids btw
Just the usual 20 mins today then Alfie
Great compilation. Would love to see a 'getting the band back together in Miami', analysis.
Best HITC so far
I love and tend to agree with most everything with this Channel..but Dani Carvajal not being minimum a top 2 right back is criminal. He’s been a starter and made an impact on FIVE Champions League winning Real Madrid squads and finals. And given how Madrid are in Semi’s again this season…possibly a 6th. Needs serious respect on his name.
Minimum top 2 is a bit delusional.
@@MrIkOgNiTomaybe a bit far but top 3 should not be debatable.
Me clicking onto Alfie's linktree to check if I was already subscribed to his personal TH-cam (I was) and finding out he has a finance channel has really rocked my perspective on these videos. Does. Does Alfie have other interests/hobbies other than football??? How dare he.
I do think Arturo Vidal had a real shout to be in a list. His trophy cabinet is ridiculous and he was super effective both with and without the ball for at least ten seasons.. he also won a trophy with Chile which is not exactly easy.
Crazy how you combined all of these videos… into one.
The people have been waiting for this one
Ronaldinho #1 is all i needed to see, perfect!
Hey Alfie, I love your video documentaries and your studied answers to multiple issues and topics that revolve around football. I never really request for videos but I request for one today.
Can you please make a video about Cristiano Ronaldo. Not about his ability but the hate that revolves him recently. Granted yes I am a Ronaldo fan since childhood and he means a lot to me, but ever since the 2022 WC he has been slandered and hated like never before, I find pretty sad.
While no one can ever agree on the perfect list. The lack of respect for Toni Kross absurd
Time stamps would be useful for a 3.5 hour video.
I did them in a seperat comment
After u reach 600k subscribers will u do Q&A ??
I didn't realise it's only 600k for such a channel with high effort videos but I guess it's too niche
he has done it a couple of times before but yeah maybe one more why not
Thanks!
This could also count as a 600K sub special
thank you for recognising De Gea 🍻
Great sense of humour 😂
Video on Vitesse Arnhem
They just got 18 points docked which puts them on -1 points
What special thing happened on the 31st of December 1999 that you decided to include it in your timeframe? 🤔
I guess Alfies age..2000 was probably the start of when he started watching football..also it makes sense, being the start of the new millennium etc..personally I'd prefer it if he started these things in 1995 but as I say..starting in 2000 makes more sense.
alfie giving us a movie
Today I spent 3.5h listening to Alfie and I don't regret a single minute of it
please do this for the 90s and 80s🙏There is too much forgotten talent from those decades
1:17:00 Zagorakis outplayed every single european midfielder he faced in that competition, on and off the ball. Some attackers to boot too, made them all look silly. Remember him doing a sombrero flick on the right flank in one game, just because he could. Insane .
Please make an updated version!
Did James Milner ever come into contention?! Longevity/versatility/technical ability… Deserves at the very least of shout out.
Would love to see a best 11 since 2020
Only about a quarter of way through but this is great!
Three and a half hours? Alfie! My boss will never swallow this- I’ve got spuds to peal. 😢
Make a series of Greatest Footballers In EVERY Position of 20th century
Timestamps would help with this one, at least for each individual position.
Do a video on Bursaspor got relegated to 4th division was in champions league a few years back!
Thanks for including De Gea here. Thinking about him makes me sick. Trading him out for Onana and paying 100 million for Antony are the two biggest mistakes amongst dozens of other mistakes holding United down this season.
#thepeopleschannel a video on the Bangladesh premier league and the rise of Bashundhara kings would be good
A team who went into the top flight after promotion and won the last four league titles now!
Are they the next Newcastle? Are they a team to keep a eye on next few years? Thanks Alfie 😊
Post 2011 Pepe (when RM forced him to see a psychologist) is for me one of the best defenders of all time. To me, he is the reason Sergio Ramos is first on yer list. as soon as Pepe left, Ramos started struggling in many facets of the defenisve game, especially positioning.
Ramos is the most overrated defender in the history
If he never played for RM he would not even be on top 20
Virg van is should be 1 on this list for pure defense
Can you do a what on Earth is going on at Huddersfield town? Club who was in the premier league and proud history getting dragged down
That’s the best 3 hours long movie since avengers endgame!
WHAT IS THE Name of THE BACKGROUND MUSIC PLZ
Day 4 of asking for an updated video on the FAI and Irish Men’s National Team.
Since your last video, they've failed to qualify for a World Cup and the Euros, let the manager's contract run out and failed to replace him for 149 days, and had a CEO sacked for misappropriation of funds. The DoF, Marc Canham promised the manager would be in place for the first week of April (now passed) but now they have pushed back the deadline to September. They have yet to have announced the interim head coach for their friendlies vs Hungary and Portugal.
On the bright side Evan Ferguson came to the fore and has since then has had a huge drop in form.
The circus continues.
Imagine if one kid scored against Kahn when he was actually TRYING. That kid would have been over the moon
Good god, Alfie! I hope you only get funnier and more analytical.
Hmm, so players stats on December 31, 1999 also count for this?
No mention of Pepe Reina?
😅😅😅 Seriously?
Dude won a hatrick of Premier league golden gloves beating Cech & Van Der Sar, despite both of them having better defenders and defensive midfielders protecting them. A calming presence in the box and a reliable penalty stopper, he was also the best ball playing goalkeeper in the word before Neuer arrived on the scene. Also don't forget that he was the second choice goalkeeper for that all conquering Spanish side - Valdes was clearly a distant third choice in the national side. Yes, he did start declining by 2013, but so did Valdes after that horrible injury towards the end of his Barcelona career. However, Reina did recover from his decline and had impressive stints at Napoli, Lazio, Aston Villa and is still going at Villa Real. Please put on some respect on his name.
I can confirm subscribing to alfie Potts Harmer will indeed classify you as a cool kid
The whole Giggs thing is gutting really. He was absolute quality and I grew up worshipping him (I am not a Man U fan but I but remember kissing the screen when he scored his penalty in the 07/08 CL final), however him being a dodgy character might overshadow what he did. He was also showing signs to really propel Cymru as a manager too.
I usually agree with all your picks but I will easily take Marcello over Ashley Cole any day...
HITC in every Video: England has the best players
HITC Greatest XI: No England Players
I just watched the 3 hours, great video and goos research, but obviously the Barcelona bias shines through it.
In my opinion:
GK: Casillas (you mentioned everything he achieved in his time)
RB: Cafu
CB: Ramos
LB: Marcelo (his impact was imo more than Coles, but ok Choice)
CDM: Casemiro (Busquets very good player, solid, but not as dominant…)
ZM: Xavi (Kroos also Top 7 imo)
10: peak Ronaldinho ok
RF: Messi
ST: Pure Striker: Ibra
LF: Ronaldo
Manager: Jose Murinho
1:41 Vedad Ibisevic mentioned 🎉🎉
The best players who are only legends in their own country.
Prime example: willem van hanegem is often seen as a top 3 of all time dutch player. That means he is rated over players like Gullit, Bergkamp, Rijkaard etc
Putting Robben behind Bale and having theo walcott as an honorable mention confirm your slight british bias.
Just as including scholes and lampard and gerrard is. And leaving Seedorf out.
Here's an idea for a future video - the controversial story of Arkadag FC, a club from Turkmenistan (often labeled as the North Korea of Central Asia) that had just been founded last year in a city that has a population of 65k people and is still under construction (to be completed by 2026) with the lofty ambitions to be an 'inteligent city' (whatever that means). This club had won 37 matches in a row (alegedly), breaking Al-Hilal's record of 34 wins in a row. And here's the part that may merit a video on this channel - Guinness Book of World Records refuses to acknowledge this achievement
He’s clearly a British Barca/Pep fan if he doesn’t have Casemiro at #1 he’s one of the main reasons for Real Madrid’s UCL three peat that has never been done be4 him & Kroos which hasn’t even been considered for a CM spot he’d be either #3 or #2 maybe even #1 his passing is only comparable with Pirlo, Scholes & Xabi Alonso with a average of 94.3% accuracy rating each game.. & Carlo Ancelotti 👑 who is the record man which has proven himself in every league, has coached the most Balon d’Or winners & won the most UCL’s in football history in which he also won twice as a player.
1:45
December the what exactly Alfie?
Iker Casillas should have been number one in my opinion. Even as a Barcelona fan, I still think he's the best there ever was in that position.
the disrespect to the Serie A, Cannavaro, Cafu, Zambrotta, & Dida criminally under ratted, argubly the best in their position smh
I'm here❤🎉🎉
Great Video!!! But Jesus, not a single human being outside of England could be high enough to seriously rank Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard over Kroos (compare the achievements), Fabregas, Toure or even halfway near Zidane!
I would put where Messi where garnnicha is and put di stefano in Messi’s position
Alfie do a 'What On Earth is going on at Vitesse Arnhen?'
A new video 10 years in the making 😂
People who have Lahm as #1 RB prove to me they’ve exceptional ball knowledge. Immaculate.
However, I’ve Neuer at #1 & not #2.
@@astanco1574 he was one of my favorite players growing up. And how exactly does one goal against determine anything? His career is greatness. Bring the negativity somewhere else
damn i know ive been gaming too long cuz i just finished this whole video lmao
2:21:17 the “i jest of course” 😂😂
completed whole video 😀
I wonder how many madlads will watch the whole thing again
Maxwell definitely shouldve been an honorable mention
cant disagree with Ramos but, Cannavaro & Nesta got to be the top 3 based on skill and achievements
Still waiting about a sportswashing video about Kazakhstan in UEFA since it is a dictatorship that oppressed dissidents. Yet UEFA tolerating Kazakhstan (contrast to EU and NATO banning Kazakhstan from joining) fuelled Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s similar schemes, which we are paying a heavy price today.
I can't complain
If you hadn't pur Cole as no.1 for LB, I would have switched off and I say that as an Arsenal fan! Easiest pick on the list.
Buffon retired a year ago did he not?
7 footballers who have been sent off the most
Make a video on the fa cup replays being scrapped cause all the magic of fa cup giant killings are gone which in turn favors the big clubs
The schedule is way too congested for replays.
Dani Alves doesn't get in because of his reputation, but Maradona does get into the all time XI?! Do I detect a double-standard there, Alfie?
pretty sure he was joking otherwise garrincha too lol
Carvajal not being in the 7 is a shambles my guy.
