As a rugby fan Georgians had brought a lot of passion and muscle to our game. Im sad that rugby hasn't reached out to help smaller teams like football has, like with the nations league as the video mentioned
Sometimes I do wonder what would it be like if other European nations joined the Six Nations. I mean, sure, they're the 6 best teams in Europe, but why not let teams like Romania and Georgia just have a chance at facing them?
@@NIDELLANEUMthe only issue is in a physical sport like rugby or nfl the top players can only play like 20 games a year without their body’s collapsing lol The clubs pay their wages and want at least 15 games out of the top players which only leaves realistically another 4/5 games they can play without issues.
Beautiful country and lovely people! used to live there 1,5 year and am glad they bring so much passion to their games. Hopefully it gives Georgian football a boost
I always appreciate how Joe puts the effort in to learn the correct pronunciations. That kind of attention to detail is why I subbed to this channel (back when they were pushing to hit 100k subs!)
A Georgian here! thank you for overing our story, 2024 has been a crazy and monumental year for us. yes we are suffering through many hardships, but what i want to emphasize is the amount of unity this championship has brought to our people. during the qualifiers and especially after the portugal game i saw the streets of tbilisi like ive never seen them before. everyone came out to the street celebrating hugging each other, we walked all throughout the city until the sun came up. This tournament has been unreal for us, some may bring the tired excuse of "dont mix politics and football" but in truth football is one of the greatest unifiers a country can have. just like drogba ending the civil war in coat d'ivorie, our boys have gifted us the feeling of unity we havent seen since 1991. see you guys in 2026!!
As a georgian i definitely can say that our team bring us joy that we needed for over 30 years. first time in history georgians experienced Unity that we never had before and that's because we qualify to euro 2024 and experienced strength of football thanks guys no matter you loose or you win -end of fairy-tale is good-(sorry for english)
Kvaratskhelia is definitely a huge talent, but right now he is pretty far from being the greatest Georgian footballer. Georgian players have always been gifted with technique and flair. There have been a lot of amazing players, to name a few Kipiani, Meskhi, Datunashvili, and Daraselia, in the 90s Kinkladze, Arveladze, and many more. To return to the peak of Georgian football a few things need to happen, especially returning interest to the Georgian league and increasing trust in Georgian players in Europe and this EURO can definitely help with that, for example, many people saw how tireless and amazing Kochorashvili or how creative and technical Chakvetadze is.
@@godnimrod There's a reason why the peak of eastern European football was pre-90s. You'll never get a relevant football league outside of the big 4 ever again under the current socio-economic football model.
as a georgian resident, im happy to see support from people outside of country. we've got lot to fight and huge path to cover. thank you for this and thanks for making ur own research :)
As a resident of Georgia, I want to confirm the accuracy and professionalism of the information presented in the video. I was pleasantly surprised by how well all the facts were conveyed. Thank you for the interesting and truthful video. I am pleased to say that the Georgian team did not disappoint its fans at Euro 2024 and truly showcased its strengths. This event has been a real celebration for fans of the Georgian national team. Having attended the Euro 2024 championship myself, I can attest that it is being conducted at the highest level. It is a true festival for football fans from all countries. Thank you to Germany and its hospitable people.
It's great to see a nuanced coverage on our nation by such a well-known channel right when we are starting to be noticed by other football fans. მადლობა 🇬🇪 !

Can we get a video on how Norway can't make it to these tournaments. Haaland, Odegaard, Bobb, Nusa, Berge, Ajer, Ryerson...when teams like Georgia and Romania make it, how can't Nroway?
As a Georgian, I am glad that you are making this video, and while I'm at it I have to say that everything said here is absolutely true I will stay forever proud of what the our boys did for us, they truly are heroes of our generation, making us seen in Europes stage and the World at the same time and genuinely putting their soul in every match. Some people who do not watch football may think that I am overreacting a little too much, after all, its a game they say, but they are wrong. Football is more than just a game. It has become a worldwide culture that allows for wonderful things and important victories. It is a great teacher in many ways and it connects the people from all around the globe. Once again, massive thanks to our boys and thank you for this video too Tifo. Nothing but love from Georgia ❤🇬🇪
Thank you for making this Video ⚽🥇🎉 This was so inspirational for me as a Georgian and hope our national team will keep surprising the whole world with it's playing abilities
Thank you very very much friend, i cant describe how good and meaningful is this video and how important is this kind of content to our country, whole world have to meet us, we are Georgians, therefore we are Europeans !

Football is too big to be played in complete vacuum. Context matters and makes especially some smaller teams more interesting to follow. Good video. I wouldn’t worry too much about generic negative comments, which always flood videos like this.
I don't get everyone saying Georgia have a merge on the world stage? Smyths the best MMA fighters as well as are a nation with amazing rugby heritage who are knocking at the door of the six Nations and have qualified for a major tournament the world cup multiple times?
Georgia was like the Netherlands or Brazil of the Soviet Union when it came to producing football talent. So many underrated players came through the Dinamo Tbilsi system during the 1980s and early 1990s. Ukraine produced a lot of talent as well, but Georgia gets overlooked at times when it comes to discussing Soviet football.
Love this video. Just want to correct you on something. Term South Osetia was created by russian FSB to replace the name of Georgian region Samachablo, they've occupied. It would be great if everyone used actual name of Georgian region(Samachablo) and not what FSB calls it, to erase the fact that its actually Georgian land.
Do a video on Jamaica's national team and their issues with the association bring out the complex relagionship between both partjes and the diverse talents availabe in the team as well as the enigmatic and at times antagonist characger in Leon Bailey
