I was actually there in the shopping centre, I was 22 years old at the time going to a university in Bahrain and I heard ronaldinho was in town and that he was making an appearance at a mall.. I got into my car, my friends with me, skipped all my classes and went to said mall 4 hours before the players were supposed to arrive and it was already mental. I was so excited that day because I have never seen a celebrity before that day and being able to see one of my childhood dreams was absolutely amazing.. so ronaldinho arrives and to my surprise Maradona was walking behind him.. imagine the way I looked, a stocky 6ft2" 22 year old Male totally fangirling over a man who was the reason I loved football.. The thing I remember the most that day was after the players finished the press conference they started signing football's and shooting them to the crowd.. ronaldinho signed the first ball and shot it straight, signed the second and shot it to the left, signed the third and starting looking around the top floor where I was standing, we locked eyes and he shot the ball straight at me, I jumped the highest jump I ever jumped in my 25 years of life and the ball actually hit the tip of my finger tips but I couldn't catch it and I couldn't run for the ball since it was super crowded.. the ball hit a man who was walking by and he picked it up and left with it.. I still hate that man to this day That day was a day I will never forget for as long as I live and thank you for reminding me how awesome of an experience that was
Rafe really makes this seem like the dream job of any football fan. Just traveling for free around the world, meeting famous players and doing promos for FIFA.
@@hadif5443 that is why he said phil offended whole asia as he referred only Chinese using vivo, but it's whole asia who is other than Chinese were using vivo too
That's amazing man! And I do hope the costume designers actually watch this so they can come up with something that doesnt kill a person inside the costume. Thank God you had a good resistance to the humidity and the heat, but just imagine if someone else didn't have the same capacity, that's messed up. Good on you Phil mate
I love doing mascot things for the little kids but I sadly only get to do it once a year and it's always in the summer in a hot hot field Loved getting to see how professional mascots are done!
Phil you are goated man🐐. You have solemnly the guts to roast the youtuber who beat Logan Paul. Love you for the hardwork you put❤. Sidemen Army let's get Phil a gold plaque before 2021! Come on Sidemen army he deserves it!
I used to live in Moscow in 2018 and I moved to London right after the world cup. I managed to go to Denmark vs France (which was the only 0-0 in the whole tournament) but I also managed to see Russia vs Spain, which was really fun. I actually saw you in real life then!
I can’t believe you came to bahrain!! It’s my home country and it’s amazing you were here, I also can’t believe I actually met Ronaldinho at the hotel!
Michael M but he literally has a phone from them, walked up on stage (which does not look fake at all), has a medal/ coin from them and at the end he had photos of him without the mask on (which yet again do not look photoshopped)
GUYS I AM GASSED!!! I CAN NOT BELIVE I HAVE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! I WAS THERE IN 2018 IN BAHRAIN IN SEEF MALL, I GOT TO SIDE HUG RONALDHINIO UNTIL A GUARD PUSHED ME AND FUCKING TAKE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! OMG I NEVER KNEW THIS UNTIL TODAY LMAOOO
no matter what his name is, i’m calling him phil
Omg 😂
Yup
I clicked this video because I thought bloody hell he looks like Phil
Kev same lmao

My dad was a costume mascot, haven’t seen him in years, actually wait a second, Phil are you my dad?
So was Ethan's dad
Tom Cooney mmm maybe that's why none of the sidemen dare to talk back to Phil
@Jasper Go He's so good that it's not even hide and seek.. It's just hide
PHILL
nah he is ethan's dad
this mans life is way more interesting than the whole sidemen members
Yep
Yep
It would be crazy if he joined the Sidemen and there would be "The adventures of Babatunde and Phil"
@Wasu Wachirapong ur like 5 you don't even know what interesting means
@@tomatoking no one asked
8:46 and that's where Corona started
The chinese man ate a bat
When you’re from Colombia and Phil calls your countries icon “curly hair dude”
*angry coffee noise*
Exactly smh. Carlos Valderrama is a beast. Also Rene and Ibarbo.
Lol
Higuita and valderrama are legends but ibarbo is just good on fifa 15
@Gaurav Goel it doesn't because it didn't perform for his country or at club level
Columbia*
3:50 “this guy” is one of the best fullbacks to ever play. He’s called Cafu
Lmaoo and curly hair guy is valderama idk if i even spelt it correctly
Samu Vilppola spelt correctly
Itz Dylann lol it wasn’t it’s spelled Valderrama with two Rs
@@samuvilppola5352 he was prlly been sarcastic
The kid being dragged at 7:19 😂😂😂
Lol i saw it to bro 😂😂
Best job ever! Free holidays, food, meeting famous people, having fun and getting paid a ton
All at the expense of potentially dying of heat stroke, but worth it!

We love you rafe. Phil is honestly one of the best characters in history honestly. Keep up the great work man 😂👍🏻
Zabivaka sealed his fate with that wink
Poor zabivaka
He just wanted to play with Balls
I couldn’t believe I was watching Phil all those times during World Cup
Lol same never would have guessed it
Yep
init
Yep lol
You've been closer to the world cup then Messi and cr7
Messi went to the final actually and lost 1-0 in extra time 😂
Nixon Sanchez It was a joke you smeghead
Nixon Sanchez Imagine taking a joke seriously just because its about messi. Wasteman.
@@louisfentiman661 You're so toxic lmao
Mat I know 🤣. Its just when i see people that cant take a joke just because its about someone/something they like.
‘This guy’ is Cafu, easily the best fullback to ever step on the pitch
Philib lahm, dani alves, roberto carlos, zanetti
Roasting Guy nah Cafu beats them
If you count maldini as a full back then he would be the best
ali kha Lahm is the best g
Roasting Guy Maicon
@@timothypeters6694 nah marcelo is the greatest, that ronaldo and marcelo partnership was so underrated
Who knew being a World Cup mascot would be this fun and interesting!
Rafe really makes this seem like the dream job of any football fan. Just traveling for free around the world, meeting famous players and doing promos for FIFA.
did he just call Cafu "this guy" and Valderrama "the curly hair guy"? fair play.
The curly hair dude*
Omg Phil was surrounded by a criminal and a drug addict, glad you came out of there nicely (I mean Ronaldinho and Maradona)
2:16 that’s fake
Josh Leader ok your jealous
Josh Leader he still met them
More like Ronaldino
Don't you mean ronaldino
This is pretty sick man. Thanks for vlogging it, really enjoyed it brother
Thanks mate
This is the first video I have found interesting and actually watched the full thing lol. Great video💕
Really cool story rafe! Would love to hear more about your acting experiences in future videos.
His name is Phil
“This crappy Chinese phone company”
Damn phil u just offended whole asia
Also said the Bahrain stadium was smaller then a cereal box, damn Phil
Vivo may be stalking us but is actually a really good phone company.
Are you an idiot bruh.
You people are dumb saying Asia are only chinese smh
There are other people to you..
@@hadif5443 that is why he said phil offended whole asia as he referred only Chinese using vivo, but it's whole asia who is other than Chinese were using vivo too
@@muhammadafifjazimin4433No one rlly uses vivo in asia only in china and where do you that that info from?
This was actually a really entertaining video, you are a really good story teller
Thanks mate
Congratulations bro 👏 You meet football legends/icons, you were living the dream of many childs like me.

Triggered me when he called Cafu “this guy” and didn’t know Valderrama
Ngl I think he was joking
He said he wasnt a football fan
It’s not that serious bto he’s just not a football fan
He doesn't care about football
Wow your the mascot I took picture with you I guess omg!!!
Came up in on my recommended, really enjoyed the video you’ve got a new subscriber!
This guys is really good at playing characters which makes him entertaining
who knew the sidemen bully was so special
Jheeze, i never knew legends were in my country, such a small country. Bahrain 🇧🇭 ❤️❤️
I thought Zabivaka was pretty damn cool. Liked the design, it looked cute and your interacting with the crowd was always great.
You’re videos are actually sick 👍🏻
Great video man
RIP MARADONA 🙏 ⚰
Yes rip
RIP Nearly 1 year later
Great content, keep up the amazing work bro 👊🏽
Bro you are so amazing and I had no clue all this time,I feel so bad 😫
Great video!!
When he pulled out the gifts and medal that sealed the job. Props to Phil!
Dude that’s the sickest story I’ve heard in awhile!
Yo this is cool!! Also u deserve a mil subs dude
Being a mascot is the only time you can be a furry without getting judged:)
True
At least Phil brought something back to the UK,unlike the England Team
love your content m8 keep it up
Phil you are goated man🐐. You have solemnly the guts to roast the youtuber who beat Logan Paul. Love you for the hardwork you put❤. Sidemen Army let's get Phil a gold plaque before 2021! Come on Sidemen army he deserves it!
Fun fact, "the curly hair dude" is El Pive, a Colombian Legend from the 90's!
the only youtuber that can save our quarantine🤣💗
Can’t believe that angry Phil was this friendly fox
Yes phill.all the best for your channel
When you see the thumbnail you know that u said
Is that phill
Keep up the good work😂

Massive respect it takes a lot to be mascot for that much time 👊🏾👊🏾❤️
I would never expect him to be a mascot
How isn’t he over 1 million subs
Thanks mate
That is amazing!!! 😍
As a person who has been in a mascot costume with fur for some school events, i highly relate to this.
I watched one of his vids about 30 mins ago, I came back to watch this vid and he's gained 2k subs
My boy phil from being a mascot to being a teacher
One of the more underrated videos on yt
I love this story! I love how this you don't even know the famous players! Humble lol how awesome is this guy!
I’m Bahraini and I found my self in the shopping center since I was there with my cousins. It’s called Seef mall btw
I guess you could say you've been inside Zabivaka...
Inside the costume
Ty for clarification
I can’t believe you came to bahrain!! It’s my home country and it’s amazing you were here, I also can’t believe I actually met Ronaldinho at the hotel!
I subbed I wonder how I recognise you lul love you notis on top btw
Imagine that The Sidemen are two degrees of separation from Maradona
See I'm disappointed, I thought his name was actually Phil 😢
Phils smile is the best thing
This is sooo dope!!
How did the sidemen find you
He was a actor that was looking for a job and the sideman pick him up
PLEASE KILL ME! I WISH TO DIE! Well now he is an icon
The one dislike is fifa
He's like a Dad telling a Story about his Past Jobs To His Children. Its really entertaining
This video deserves more than 73k views. It actually sounds like a pretty cool job
Fifa know a talented man when they see one and that shows that Phil is very very very talented
Thank you, that's properly nice of you
@@RafeYoung didn't know Phil could be nice
I cant decide if its fake or real😂😂
Edit: at the end of the video it looks real but still cant decide ffs😂😂
Yeah I reckon it’s real
Obviously it’s fake...
Michael M but he literally has a phone from them, walked up on stage (which does not look fake at all), has a medal/ coin from them and at the end he had photos of him without the mask on (which yet again do not look photoshopped)
We all know how good Rafa is good at editing too...
Michael M yeah but what about the gifts, you can’t just buy them (and also why do you keep putting “...” at the end of every sentence??)
great vid. i really enjoyed hearing it
You are to pure for this world Phil
No wonder it was so popular.
GUYS I AM GASSED!!! I CAN NOT BELIVE I HAVE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!! I WAS THERE IN 2018 IN BAHRAIN IN SEEF MALL, I GOT TO SIDE HUG RONALDHINIO UNTIL A GUARD PUSHED ME AND FUCKING TAKE A PICTURE WITH PHIL!!!
OMG I NEVER KNEW THIS UNTIL TODAY LMAOOO
Didn't expect behind a cute lovable mascot lies a man that can roast you in any ways possible
You would be a great children’s entertainer, you have the voice and energy for it
“PHILLLL!!”- Behzinga after gettin angry at Phil
So close to 100k
This is class mate
massive respect for this lad
GET HIM TO 100KKK
This is actually mad
This honestly sounds awesome
What did Harry say in the sdmn school video
lmaooo i think he said “chinese nigga” but i’m nts if this is true
iHarrySB he said allah Akbar
He said ‘ Chinese nigga’ if u listen closely to Simon
Degre nah he said in a more sidemen vid it wasn’t that
BenontheBus well Ofc they’re not going to admit it
