Imagine this in FM , you receive an email and it just says "19 year old Samuel is now 25" 😂😂
Your wonderkid is now a wonderman
That actually happens in Basketball GM.
@@davincisama this happened to me, drafted the guy at the end of the lottery, turns out he was 2 years older, ended up being a solid player
😂😂😂😂😂
@@davincisamai just looked into basketball gm and now i want a zealandism about it lmao
Did you know, Luke Littler got good are darts by practising.
You could get good at running if you practised too.
You can get good at anything by just practising
My grandma was born in rural Nigeria. No birth certificate. No idea how old she is and no one knows her birthday. So she just picked a date that was roughly correct so I can see how this can be a problem for certain countries and also how this could be manipulated in sports.
just wanted to add that it had consequences for silas. he was found guilty for two different crimes in germany, had to pay 80.000 euros in fines and was suspended for 3 months in the bundesliga
To quickly correct, the cameroun federation "crackdown" is a reaction of the Douala case, Cameroun federation was notified of the Douala case before the Afcon cup, and they decided to do nothing.
Zealand having skyrim on his taskbar is based.
Zealand having Ubisoft Connect on the other hand, not so much :P
Gamer owning Skyrim is "based" is it?
@@JG-jc8dm Quite literally, given how often it has been rereleased anyone into gaming owns a copy. Probably more than one.
@@Darilon12 I have a copy for PC, Switch, PS4, Ps3, and XB360... it's my favorite game of all time... I've also cracked one to work on my Mac
I tell people my story sometimes, which is kinda the opposite. I, admittedly have what people call "A baby face" so when I was signing up for a youth football program in Nigeria, the person writing down my info asked for my age, I replied "13". He looks up at me, right in the eyes, pauses, then says "You know people actually reduce their ages right?" I don't remember much from that event but I think he didn't sign me up because he thought I was messing with him 😂
Moukoko's agent sweating profusely right now
david goggins is only going to be proud of you, when you are running
Oh... My reality is broken. I didn't realize Z had a book on dad jokes.
I coach a U14 team and every game I have to deal with parents accusing every black player in my team of age cheating (All 3 of them were born here in Germany). The local FA doesn't help and one time I even got sent off for calling one of the parents a racist. Even though the results of this investigation will be used by racist football fans, it's a great thing that the Cameroonian FA does their best to combat the problem in a transparent way!
Run, Zealand. Runnnnnnnnnnnnn
Tbf a lot of "strife" can make figuring exact ages tricky. I have a great uncle who isn't sure exactly how old he is because the hospital records (and most of the family members who would know for sure) were destroyed by the Nazis when they occupied Poland.
Goes all the way back to Saudi Arabia beating Scotland in the u16 world cup in 1988. The whole squad went to a nightclub after the game
I grew up in Cape Verde and was pretty decent at the sport. I was asked if I would be willing to be younger for 2 years but I told them im half italian and the paperwork wouldn’t work 😂
But now that I think of it, if I said i was younger im sure i could have made it lol😅
You were dum6 and naive because even in Italy and many other European countries, paper works including birth certs are easily forged and manipulated if you know the right palms to grease. Europeans are just as corrupt as Africans.
What a timing after the fake news that Lamine Yamal isn’t 16💀
he's actually 13
AFAIK we don’t actually know yet if he’s 18, there’s just a news article from ages ago, and news articles are often wrong about stuff like that
Ok just checked and the entire thing is nonsense, everything checks out for him to be 16
@@kiweping5 yeah the person who posted that, cropped out the original date also wearing retro kits is normal, Madrid played with a kit from last season because none that they currently have could be used against Valencia
Even in Brazil that is done, at least in youth leagues, they are called "Cats" the player faking identity, I actually played a couple times with a different ID. I received 3 yellow cards and couldn't play a semi final but my coach needed me, so he grabbed one of our players ID card and gave me to present to the refs so I could be registered to play that semi final, and because my coach was my step father at that moment, I got to experience a lot of these "Cats". Players born in 92 would register to the tournaments with a different ID from a guy born in 94, that was very common growing up around the youth leagues in Southern Brazil.
go for a run man
Just finished watching the last video and Z drops another one, goat channel
This also reminds me of the case of Luciano/Eriberto, a Brazilian who played in Italy from the late 90s to the mid 2010s. He came to the country in 1998 as Eriberto Conceiçao da Silva, born in 1979 to play for Bologna, and after several years confessed while he was at Chievo Verona that that was not his real name, that he was actually called Luciano Siqueira de Oliveira, and was born in 1975. Turns out he had been faking his identity since he joined the Palmeiras youth sides, as he was over the maximum age to join them at the time and assumed the ideintity of a neighbour that qualified. He served a 6 month ban and payed a fine, but was welcomed back at Chievo afterwards. He even got to play for inter for a year!
My mom was born in rural Honduras on November 25. Her dad had to go into town by horseback to register her name and birthday with the state. There was a huge storm that week and a river was overflowing so he couldn’t get over the river on horseback (there was no bridge). He was able to go into town a week later and was told he had to pay a fine (equivalent to 1 dollar at the time) for being late to register her. So he said “fuck that” and her birthday is officially listed as December 1st now 😂 so my mother has 2 birthdays
Love these videos. You're an articulate guy and you're interesting to listen to.
(also go for a run)
imagine times where the biggest no brainer was not lying.
This issue is also discussed in Rugby, also with occasional racism. E.g. Junior players born in (or with parents from) Pacific Island nations like Samoa, Tonga, etc. are often accused of being older than stated.
People are tired of having valid concerns dismissed as "racism".
It's not racism if someone looks older than what they are.
@@ronmastrio2798 @Micfri300 As I said, occasional racism. Because if you're in Australia, you'll know that bigotry is still an element of this, regardless of it being an issue.
Additionally, Rugby League switched to weight classes rather than age groups for juniors some years ago for other reasons and so it's less prevalent.
@@Bagster321is that NRL or super league?
@@kieronparr3403 I think it's best to say NRL, given I'm referencing Australia
Damn sometimes Zealand just goes on incoherent tangents without getting to the point lmaooo
i think it's time for a RUN
8:00 this is honestly a really good point to be considered in such a conversation and im glad it was brought up. While maybe not as common as in the past, this is absolutely a thing in many countries and people just go along with what they're told. I have friends with parents from banglesesh and others with parents from nigeria who all have birthdays of jan 1st (which is could be a coincidence but is probably Not), and they just happened to be born in a place in the world and at a time where birth cirtificates and other documentation was only a thing if you needed it. Again doesn't excuse blatant cheating but is honestly more common than some people may think.
Zealand, this doesn’t only happen in these low income countries this happens in American football all the time especially in the prep school scene, I remember I played Trayvon Diggs in high school in Maryland I can remember a lot of his teammates were dudes with kids and jobs and houses but we’re playing Maryland high school football just trying to go D1 I know this is very common I would love to see this cracked down on in the US to
The way to combat this is amnesty for the players. That way they can come out and can point the finger at those who facilitate it.
The first time, I saw him I knew he cheated. His first born is 17 years old😂😂.
Had a friend in cali in the 90s kid was from Cambodia, his parents made him take his little brother name and birth certificate after he passed in a tragedy. So my friend was 13 playing 9, he wasn’t much taller then anyone he blended in well, but he picked up games and strats super fast. ❤ don’t know where bro is these days but guy was awesome
This is like the sixth video today. Bro, you need to up those numbers.
Bros doing everything but going for a run
How do I get a Football age.. Asking for a friend
I wonder if FM has their correct age 🤔
If "nobody" knows their age, that's extremely unlikely
My people are just disgracing me.
Remember Greg Oden at Ohio State (basketball), guy looked 50 when he was 20.
Can't convince me he wasn't
How is it racist to notice that almost all the French national team players are African?
noticing is racist
😂 @@kylec10
I mean. It really depends on your choice of words, context and your tone
@@Vin-nb9oq Indeed. It can be said with respect. However, I have heard many people say that in real life in order to belittle the recent achievements of French national team, or immediately launch into some great replacement theory rant.
@@ytterbius2900 Yeah. Totally agree. Most people who start with that tend to be racist or to have certain prejudices.
Something I would like to add MIT for bones are never accurate, for example when I was 12 my bone age was 8😭😭
go for the run today
even for wealthy people in Nigeria that age on their documents may not be totally accurate. My dad was born into a wealthy family in a major city in Nigeria and he isn't even sure the exact month he was actually born in. Not only is this because of a lack of bureaucratic processes to track date of birth but also because Birthdays aren't considered important in our culture the same way birthdays are valued in the west so culturally no one really cared about birthdays until relatively recently and as such a person's date of birth was only ever loosely tracked.
Next time be specific and spell out your culture. Don't generalize that culture nonsense on the entire Nigeria, an extremely diverse nation. If your culture doesn't value birthdays, that's not the entire Nigeria.
@@abstraqtphilosophy7357 I said my culture, I never said Nigerian culture. learn to read.
As a Nigerian, I have to say that _my_ family takes our birthdays seriously, and you would have to go back to my great-grandparents' generation to begin to find doubts about dates of birth.
@@ytterbius2900 I think Southerners in Nigeria generally care allot more about birthdays than northerners.
Can't wait for people to call Eto'o an uncle Tom because he valued the truth.
you should go running
Nice bit of virtue signalling at the start to disprove a point he then goes on to comprehensively prove
Seriously 😂
It's not virtue signalling if you listen to the people he's talking about. They talk down on France and say it's not a 'real' French team, as if the African countries the players have ancestry from asked to be colonised.
Tampa stand up!!
Fucking run
Run
The only thing i don't like about these vids by zealand is how long he takes to get into the topic. I always skip the 1st 30-45 seconds now.
The next one is for you
For all of africans put there this problem exists in india as well as not everyone in our huge increasing population can get a birth certificate on the same day
Zealand mate, the way you're going, why don't you make a more nicely cut video that is longer, instead of throwing 10 min unedited videos 3 times a day? You could talk about more topics at once, and it would be more easily consumed I believe
The next one is for you
@@Zealandism That's the spirit, half an hour of Zealand, to fill up our days 😊
My brother if you go around in life thinking nobody is cheating you must be really sheltered.
Old News
so its not racist, its just true
Zealand strikes me as the sort of guy who thinks Mike Tyson should be allowed to fight women if he identified as a woman.
I've been a little surprised by his views lately. That's the politest way i can put it.
The next one is for you
“Ith ma’am!”
@@danderson8463Surprised that an American millennial that lives in New York is slightly progressive?
Elaborate please
I mean theres a reason African/ South American players get accused of this and it's because it happens the most there. Has nothing to do with racism.
And I love the 'He was 17, now he's not.'
So what you are saying is it is racism when black and asian kids who were born and grew up in the west get it?
I agree it has nothing to do with racism, but I think that that is because race does play an important role. Just look Gukesh D. The recently winner of the candidates tournament, he's 17 but looks 22. That's just indian genes. Some races have more testosterone than others because their environments are less contaminated or more challenging and require more production of said hormone. So of course people from some parts of the world will look older by comparison.
Seems like instead of the Cameroon football league doing these FBI level investigations every year the Cameroon gouvernment should keep decent record of their citizens, like every other country on Earth. I wonder what their IDs look like, are they handwritten?
This is more difficult than you realise. Local governments have varying amounts of wealth, and rural settlements can be very far away from proper medical facilities.
Source: I am Nigerian. This is why we are very unsure of how many citizens there are in the country.
@@ytterbius2900 I just googled president of cameroon net worth and it's 200 mil+ on a 200k salary. So either he's been president for 1000 years or he's stealing money. Maybe if he didn't do that they'd have money for hospitals
😂😂😂😂
I'm sorry if my laughing offended you
@zealandism the next run is for you
