3:42 GROUP of Death! I meant to say GROUP of Death. Sorry. FILLER WEEK! As you know at this moment GN is taking time off to research and produce the next few episodes, Lebanon will be up on Feb 27
The term "World Series" matches perfectly, cos nobody else than US. plays that sport in some serious level. So winner of World Series is literally world champion in handegg.
It actually is a WORLD Cup, unlike some "World" Series. Some notes: - Each continental confederation (like UEFA for Europe) decides how their assigned slots are filled. - Australia competes in the Asia qualification now. They had basically no competition in Oceania (except somewhat New Zeeland) and to qualify for the World Cup, they had to face strong teams, mostly from South America. After the switch, they qualified every time. - I think it's the "Group of death", not the "Team of death"
By the way Eurovision is the easiest way for one to learn the European geography, cause If you follow the contest more closely you will eventually learn all the countries names, flags, capitals and even neighbours and diaspora (due to the specifics of the voting process :D)
4:24 Don´t forget: East and West Germany even had to play against each other in the group stage. During the whole division this was the only time ever they had a football match! AND THE EAST WON!!!! It was a huge embarrassment for the West, but it didn´t matter that much because in the end West Germany won the World Cup.
East Germans were not very good but they played much better beck then compared to now. Since reunification eastern team fell so hard. Beck in the days FC Magdeburg won cup winners' cup and FC Carl Zeiss lost a final. Now only one team from the east plays in the Bundesliga and that's a team bought by Red Bull recently.
1.1 billion people were reported to have watched the 2010-2011 Sydney New Year's Eve coverage, so the new years celebration is the most watched non sporting event in the world (Also tv shows like Game of Thrones or Doctor who get more then the measly Eurovision does) as well as the annual Miss Universe and Miss World pageants, headquartered in the U.S. and U.K., respectively, and aired live to more than 200 countries yearly, is said to have each regularly attracted more than 2 billion viewers and consistently ranks among the most watched live annual entertainment telecasts in the world.
I go to the middle school right next to Douglas (they had a shooting yesterday) and we were on lockdown for 2 hours 🤤 The fact the shooter ran by our school as well to try and escape unsettles me. Thank you for making this video to distract me from the trauma I'm experiencing rn
it really felt great to have a payback for what you guys did previous world cup :P i really almost cried when we where inches away of winning the world cup , then we we toke a kick in the ballz by iniesta
You forgot to say that America: a country with over 4 million registered players and an estimated 24 million recreational players, who won the women's world cup three times, and the country with the seventh highest grossing soccer attendance in the world lost in qualifying to Trinidad & Tobago. A country of about 1.3 million people, knocking us out of the competition.
Very good, I’m English and my life literally revolves around Football (Soccer) you did well to explain it, albeit it’s the “Group of Death” no such group exists for 2018...
Fun fact: football is not the main sport in the 3 countries with the largest population (China, India, US) yet it is the most popular sport in the world.
It would be quite intesting if you did a video about Eurovision, since it's only a european (and australian) event it would be nice to let people who live outside of europe to know about it
Under Southgate I'm not really expecting anything new other with just full disappointment with England. We never play well under pressure and our recent managers in line have been total failures. Will be interesting to see how well Harry Kane can do though
The 4.5, 3.5 and 0.5 places that Barbs say in the video mean that the fifth better team of Asia and South America, the fourth better of North, Central America and the Caribbean and the best team in Oceania have to play two games against one of the other teams to reach the world cup. For example, this time Peru (fifth in south America qualy) had to play versus New Zealand (best in Oceania qualy) and fifth better from Asian qualy (I don't remember which team was) had to play against Panama the fourth in the North, Central America and the Caribbean qualy. Just another thing: Australia plays in Asia confederation to avoid this, trying to reach the world cup directly so New Zealand is now the best team in Oceania.
I honestly dont know anything about football or the world cup or the way it operates so for as far as i know you did a pretty good job. HOWEVER I do know that it should be FOOTBALL AND NOT SOCCER!!!
Hey Barbs, good job. Just wanted to let you know that Australia compete in Asian qualifying because they're essentially way better than the other teams in Oceania.
to be fair it is like "the blood of those who fight for the freedom" world event. it is like a war without fighting, for the honor and the money, and having reveng on those countries... you know which ones. also it is an showing of countries, capabilities and geography.
You did well. A couple of mistakes that only a few people care about. Like it's the Group of Death, not the Team of Death. Also, but I know this is super-technical for non-football fans, it isn't continent, but confederations. The only difference is that some countries who are technically in one continent can play in another. So Israel, Cyprus and Kazakhstan play in the European confederation, Australia in the Asian and Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname play in North and Central American. But I am guessing that you sort of did that on purpose because "keep it simple". Also, Oceania does not get a spot because there is no real competition for New Zealand, so they pretty much would always get there.
Actually, not quite as simple. First, Cyprus is complicated. They are put in both Europe and Asia, and geographically it's confusing. Second, Israel actually started up in Asia, but in the early 70s Kuwait and other nations kicked them out. However, that was after 20 years and Israel qualifying for the 1970 World Cup. Then they actually moved to Oceania in the early 80s before going to Europe. As FIFA does not allow politics into the mix, they could have disallowed the vote put forward by Kuwait. Instead they made geographical positions more optional. Third, your Kazakhstan argument is exactly the same as mine. You can be part of a confederation without being in the continent they represent. Because Kazakhstan is absolutely Asia geographically, while Australia certainly isn't.
how are teams for each country formed? like are the best players in each country put on a team or do individual teams in each country compete to play in the world cup for their country?
NSFW fact about 1974 West Germany World Cup team Chile, they actually qualified to the World Cup during the overthrowing of a democratically elected president and played World Cup play off games in a make shift concentration camp stadium. Which is still to this day the home stadium for Chile btw. Anywhoo, it saw about 20000 prisoners and dished out 41 murders in the facilities during Chile's World Cup qualification.
2:05 UK wants to compete seperately because they want to play for their country and it would be weird if Welsh guy played in the same country as the England guy
I think if we were neighbors or classmates, we would be best friends. haha. I love learning about countries and the like. Well, it seems like you are halfway through the country list, aren't you? Just wondering, what will you do after? Geography more? or I'd love it if you'll consider, World History Now. Talk about each country's history in a nutshell :)
You did alright! It is also worth mentioning that in europe we like it so much that every 4 years, offset by two years of the world cup, we have our own little european cup :D I believe south america has a similar competition with their countries
Well, looking forward to Ireland playing in what essentially is an oven. Looking forward to a country known for rain playing in a country that does anything BUT.
Swear to god two competitions in a row (the Euros and 2018 qualifiers) Northern Ireland is put in the SAME GROUP as Germany. BUT BOTH TIMES WE CAME SECOND AND WE BEAT WEST GERMANY AND THE ONLY REASON WE DIDN’T GET IN TO THE WORLD CUP IS BECAUSE OF A REFEREE WITH ISSUES
4:41 ‘and suddenly The Netherlands did what to Spain?!?’ 😂 And two years later they failed to get to the European championship and 2 years after the big loss of the EC they didn’t qualify for the World Cup😅
I'm sorry but being explained the World Cup by an American is kinda like us Aussies being taught Footy by well an American. ( just kidding man love your videos much love from a British Australian) (My dads English and my mums Aussie)
Call it what you want in your own language, but the Brits came up with the word "soccer" so that they wouldn't have to specify "Association Football" as opposed to "Rugby Football." The Americans borrowed that word from them because they were working on their own football rules. The Brits didn't really turn hostile to the word "soccer" until the NFL saw a steep rise in popularity in the 1970s.
Football, you would call it soccer, but calling it so, would harm this argument, is played by kicking a ball with your feet. American Football is played by manipulating a roughly egg shaped body with your feet and hands. So lets call "Soccer" Football and American Football Limbegg.
Football is called "football" because it's played on foot rather than by foot. This was to differentiate it from the equestrian sports such as hunting and racing. The original football, from medieval England, featured the carrying - not kicking - of an inflated animal bladder from one end of a field to another. Thus, American football more closely resembles the original football. Incidentally, American football does occasionally utilize kicking.
I'm a Maldivian studying in Bangladesh. Thisbweek I travelled in to rural villages in Bangladesh as part of my course and I saw villages painted with flags of Argentina and Brazil. When asked they said those were the teams they supported in the last world cup. Just goes to show you how influential the world cup really is.
I am bangali(living in Dhaka) And we love football and cricket There would be flags of argentina and brasil in every roof and terrace rather than our one😂 Even during the copa america, people went crazy over brasil vs argentina I supported argentina as always while my brother was with brazil We would always have an argument bcz of it😂
I know it´s maybe late, but can you explain Super Bowl for foreigners????? Because the level of expectation and excitement is totally inverse USA: YEAH BABY, SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!! Rest of the World: WTF is that??????
Not much to explain. 32 American professional teams play a 16 game season, and the top 12 teams go to a knockout stage with the championship game being the Super Bowl. It's called a bowl because American football stadiums originally resembled bowls.
As a brazilian, I used to hate the World Cup, but now I love it. In the end, like you said, it's just fun, at least for us. It's a big party and brazilians can't take anything serious, like the 7-1, it's a great joke around here, like when you go through a terrible expierence, then you say: "Everyday a different 7-1!". I'm already excited for this year's World Cup. Great video, btw!
@@Nat.ali.a I think just about any Brazilian supported Germany in that game, I comemorated so much when Götze scored that goal in the prorrogation time
Eh no, because New Zealand would qualify each and everytime beating minnows like Vanuatu and Tonga on their way. Oceania getting half a berth is totally acceptable. Australia got out of the Oceania qualifiers a few years ago because of the lack of competition and now play in the Asian qualifiers. Oceania is too small and they like and play rugby better.
yeah i know the situation -w- i saw the 2014 qualifying game between Mexico and New Zealand...and yup wow thats why they dont have a direct qualification.
they can but is very unlikely. Even if the qualify they don't have huge chances to pass group stage, like you can se the 2013 confederations cup that thaiti qualify to that tournament they ended recivin 23 goals in 3 matches, they knew that since they just had 1 profetional player so theur objective was to at least score a goal and they did it against Nigeria, they celebrated as they were champions XD
The Netherlands is a very 'Almost' country when it comes to football: we almost won in 1974, we almost won in 1978 and 2010, and this time we almost even qualified... [cries in Dutch] (Edited some dates to make them correct)
@@richardleneau Actually the earliest recorded history of football comes from China. What the Aztecs played has very little to do with actual football.
Se whats funny is that German fans never bring up the 2018 world cup,which is odd,since they seem to be still living in the past.I dunno what the hell they are still bragging about,since their team wasnt something to brag about this time around.I am getting annoyed.

The World Cup is like the World Series - except the rest of the world is actually invited.
Makes sense!
Or more aptly put by most of us Americans, The Soccer Olympics!
The term "World Series" matches perfectly, cos nobody else than US. plays that sport in some serious level. So winner of World Series is literally world champion in handegg.
what are you talking about??? Mexico, Domenican Republic, Venezuela, Japan and Soth Korea play Baseball in a serius level
Vladislav Pečík The World Series is for baseball.
It actually is a WORLD Cup, unlike some "World" Series.
Some notes:
- Each continental confederation (like UEFA for Europe) decides how their assigned slots are filled.
- Australia competes in the Asia qualification now. They had basically no competition in Oceania (except somewhat New Zeeland) and to qualify for the World Cup, they had to face strong teams, mostly from South America. After the switch, they qualified every time.
- I think it's the "Group of death", not the "Team of death"
Hey!
Canada is invited.
Actually the World Series is actually named after of the world newspaper in New York. Then the name just stuck all this time
I kinda want you to try to explain Eurovision from American/geography geek point of view
YEah, totally !
Agreed, especially if there's liberal use of eurovision clips.
Yes!
By the way Eurovision is the easiest way for one to learn the European geography, cause If you follow the contest more closely you will eventually learn all the countries names, flags, capitals and even neighbours and diaspora (due to the specifics of the voting process :D)
And you would learn that Israel is actually in Europe:) And Australia. And I've heard rumours Qutar wants to join in lol
Brazil losing 7-1 is still a joke in Brazil, because Brazil is obsessed with the world cup

Victor C. Medeiros italian here, same situation 😂
Same here. I usually do pointless stuff like this when I'm bored.
7-1 never forget
4:24 Don´t forget: East and West Germany even had to play against each other in the group stage. During the whole division this was the only time ever they had a football match!

Especially the part with Australia.

Argentina champion in 2014 WC would be waaaaay worse for us Brazilians than the 7-1
@@Nat.ali.a I think just about any Brazilian supported Germany in that game, I comemorated so much when Götze scored that goal in the prorrogation time
yeah you did good man ..geez poor Oceania xD
Eh no, because New Zealand would qualify each and everytime beating minnows like Vanuatu and Tonga on their way. Oceania getting half a berth is totally acceptable. Australia got out of the Oceania qualifiers a few years ago because of the lack of competition and now play in the Asian qualifiers. Oceania is too small and they like and play rugby better.
yeah i know the situation -w-
i saw the 2014 qualifying game between Mexico and New Zealand...and yup wow thats why they dont have a direct qualification.
It is because the only professional team in oceania is New Zeland xD
Harrylogico Yeah, like, how is a country like Nauru going to qualify?
they can but is very unlikely. Even if the qualify they don't have huge chances to pass group stage, like you can se the 2013 confederations cup that thaiti qualify to that tournament they ended recivin 23 goals in 3 matches, they knew that since they just had 1 profetional player so theur objective was to at least score a goal and they did it against Nigeria, they celebrated as they were champions XD
7-1 never forget
EPIC!
Variecs BRA71L
Uma delicia
Stop It :(
Ole....... oleeeeeeeee.............
The Netherlands is a very 'Almost' country when it comes to football: we almost won in 1974, we almost won in 1978 and 2010, and this time we almost even qualified...
[cries in Dutch]
(Edited some dates to make them correct)
What about 2010? That was an almost too!
The thirth time was on 2010, not 2014
Always used to be my team in the euros and WC, until my team just starting beating your team and going there them self :)
But we won the European cup once! And that's immediately the only thing of some status we won actually. *cries in Dutch as well*
inesta was offside for 2010 im still salty (if it was pens we still would have lost yeah)
Lol, wtf is soccer??? Ohh you mean football ? :)
I mean is fútbol in spanish, futebol in portuguese and football in french and real english. Why would they call it soccer?
@@richardleneau Actually the earliest recorded history of football comes from China.
What the Aztecs played has very little to do with actual football.
@@notallopinionswerecreatede4465 No, it was Greeks who invented football first.
"Soccer" is an acceptable term.
3:41 - actually it's called "Group of death"
But what if it is a team of death. Ever heard of FC Start?
Exact!
*ITS CALLED FOOTBALL*
It's called football in Europe and non-English-speaking European colonies.
Also in every part of america that doesnt speak english
called soccer in English (US)
maninredhelm and English-speaking ones.
Soccer.
the video should have been 7 minutes and 1 second long ;)
I see what you did there...
don't
please
>:( shut up your freakin' mouth until Germany comes in last place in 2022
Se whats funny is that German fans never bring up the 2018 world cup,which is odd,since they seem to be still living in the past.I dunno what the hell they are still bragging about,since their team wasnt something to brag about this time around.I am getting annoyed.
Ok why the f**k is everybody freakin talking about 7-1 jokes when we know they're dead
