Don't know if you saw the news, but Borussia Dortmund just loaned a player from Nürnberg named Nischalke. Which tralnslated from German basically means Never Schalke. His shirts selling like crazy and he's already labeled by Fans to become a Dormund Legend. I find this an amazing busniess deal for them and maybe you can use this for one of your FM stories.
@@robin_123 teams do that literally every single day of the transfer window.... Why do you think transfer amounts exist.

You're welcome for the information to make you sound less like an 11 year old complaining you don't get take away food every night for dinner.
I'm from Alaska and have played against Obed on a few occasions. He is so talented that he played against me (U18s) when he was 13. He has unreal playmaking and technique for his age.
I've played against his brother Abod, he played center back because if he played striker no team would have a chance of winning. From center back he still Dribbled our entire team multiple times and was cooks only way of scoring
Other young player thing happening in USA is in the Second tier USL Championship where Sacramento just signed a 13 year old academy player to their first team.
For added reference, the team currently is pretty good sitting at the top of the table so you can argue its in part a way to get him locked down so if he leaves its on a transfer and not a free instead of he is about to get regular first team minutes, but kid has been tearing it up in the Academy system where over two years he is averaging about 0.8 goals per game, which included playing in the U-13 team as an 11 year old.
It would almost seem unfair to his adult opponents. Imagine a 25 yr old centre back going up for a 50/50 header against a 13 yr old. If I were the CB I would be reluctant to go 100% because I would not want to hurt him. It's common to clank heads in such a scenario. Not worth a concussion to a 13 yr old if you ask me.
I'm a sounders fan, he is really good. He has proven that he can play at the level. Im also a STL City fan and Miggy Perez is in a similar boat. He has proven he can play at the level. I am really looking forward to these MLS prospects to develop.
in germany the "fight & win" is a very popular chant. mostly it is "auf gehts *club xy* kämpfen & siegen!" (something like "come on club xy, fight & win). funny that the seattle supporters are using the exact same chant!
Rush is one of the coolest youth clubs I played for! Nationwide and international as well and when I was playing there in like 2012-2014 once a year they had rush fest where Rush teams from everywhere and would come play tournaments against each other.
Make A video about Arthur Vermeeren who came to replace Antwerp best performing player Yusuf. At the age of 17. He then started almost every match and won the first title for Antwerp since 1957.
He's a great young talent ! Sounders just singed my nephew as well he's only 11 ! Hopefully he's gets a chance to shine one day on the first team as well ✊🏽
Thank you so much for this wonderful video about this fantastic player Obed Vargas. He must be an "old soul" to be able to handle all those challenges at his age! Thank you for the repeated reminders of how far away Alaska is to the rest of the United States. It is almost unfathomable to Europeans the size of western North America in general. How a 12 hour car trip is normal is some thing they can't get a grip on for some reason. When you showed the map of the number of English football academies, and then the North American map, that really says it all. Thanks again for telling this heartwarming story! I'm really looking forward to seeing Obed develop further! 🙏😎
@@BearrySoytoro I’m playing with Wrexham got straight promotions and now in the championship.. I look up this guy and his best stat in 2024 is his pace of 13 lol don’t has a 3 star potential?
Not even going to lie when you mentioned the 2022 CCL It really hurted me since I'm a Pumas UNAM and NYCFC fan. But I do personally like Seattle Sounders because of it's amazing fans and the kits which in my opinion are better than my beloved pumas. I hope Obed Vargas can fulfill his potential. Good Video, Zealand 👍
Could you do a video on Lamine Yamal? He's a Spanish-Moroccan-Equatorial Guinean 16 year old Barcelona player and the 4th Youngest player to debut in LaLiga ever. He was discovered by Barcelona at the age of 5. He got subbed on for the Barcelona first team at 15 years, 9 months and 16 days. He joined the Barcelona Under 19 team at 14 years old and is currently training with the first team.
Anchorage is subarctic and the only people Native to the Anchorage Bowl are Denaina Athabaskan. Obeid is a local but he is not native to Alaska because he is not of Athabaskan, Iñupiaq, Yupik, Sugpiaq , Unangan or Eyak descent. I’m a second generation Alaska local but I’m of Spanish, Italian, French , Norwegian, Dutch and German descent.
players or teams from remote places are those who we neutraly cheer for, that prodigy from North Korea who played in Italy few years ago, this year KÍ from Faroe island doing miracles, i wish one day there would be great players from somewhere like Nauru or Palau or bigger country like Indonesia or Pakistan now then we would seen it all
I used to be a former teammate of Obed. I played for Rush as a young kid. He was the best on the team. He’s determination and being able to keep calm and focus up in the moments it ment the most. I always wanted to be as good as he was. Realizing that he was even 2 years younger than me, made me value his potential even more
I love a good wonderkid story as much as the next football fan but I hope they are taking care with how quickly they throw these kids into professional levels of training and intensity. A 14-year-old's body is literally still growing.
The Vargas family just doing what the beautiful strong Monarch does year after year to there Home state of Michoacan they go from North America to our unique forests 🇲🇽
Would love a video explaining the pro/con and overall impact that College sports has with regards to Football (soccer) development given it's vast difference in ages compared to the rest of the world.
Saw him play against Dortmund in a friendly in 2019 at CenturyLink. He was already technically a level above almost everyone on Sounders, and many on Dortmund as well. I've been patiently waiting his call up to the USMNT and a move to Europe ever since. The kid is insanely talented, I can't wait to see what his future holds.
There’s basically no flights between Anchorage and Vancouver, and a ton of flights to Seattle. Plus it is the same country which helps. Basically everyone going to/from Alaska goes through there
Despite not being American, I am fucking LOVING seeing the clip "THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! YEAHH!!" after a while, hadn't realized how much I missed that enthusiastic yell lol
Having watched some videos of the lad, I just don't get what people are excited about. This feels like a tale of someone who is physically (perhaps mentally) mature for his age and he's earned a chance to step up. I didn't see any signs of great pace, great control or creativity.
I played ODP in 2014 and United FC and slammers. It’s a great atmosphere. I played a CM n Sweeper. I just didn’t see myself doing socccer in my future ngl and I didn’t take my scholarship for UCSD
I’m from Alaska. All my homies played for Rush. Sounders Center Back Jackson Ragen is a family friend. Also Obeid Vargas is NOT a native Alaskan. He’s a born and raised Anchorage local, but he’s not a Native Alaskan. Native Alaskan Iñupiaq , Yupik or Athabaskan ancestry . Obeid Vargas is of Mexican descent. He is a local of Anchorage but not a Native. Natives of Anchorage are Denaina Athabaskan. I’m also a local but I’m largely of Spanish, Italian, Norwegian and German descent . Cheechakos shouldn’t speak for us locals.
It's a little misleading showing temperature of Alaska-Fairbanks - it's not the same as Anchorage. Fairbanks is much further north and not surrounded by water. Much colder there.
ngl I like Vargas but i'm not even sure if he's the best eligible 2005 birth date USMNT prospect lol. Cremaschi, Buck, Wynder and Esmir at NE all have equally valid claims of being that year's best UMSNT prospect. There's a lot of talented players coming up IMO.
The national team debate can get so toxic. Imo it should be whatever he feels is not only best for his career, but also which he connects to the most. His Mexican heritage which he probably grew up around and used as a getaway in Alaska where I assume there weren't many like him around. Or, if he feels more connected to being American and everything else that comes with that from growing up in Alaska to moving to Seattle and being given a chance by an MLS team and the youth USA teams. Either way as a mexican american I'm happy lol bc at the end of the day I can relate it isn't as simple as "oh im from the US" or "my family and the culture I grew up around is mexican," bc he's both.
This is why, in FM, it's annoying when players under 18 don't want to sign 'because they want to continue their development' in their home club and then you can't get them in time for the homegrown player thing to kick in later down the road. That might be true for some Man City U18 guy, but I swear that if you offered a 15-year-old from Serbia a chance to go play in England, he'd throw his own mother under all the trains he needed to get there just for the opportunity. And his father would help. I hope they fix that in future versions.
I'm very curious where you found out that he played for Rush. As a Rush alumn who grew up training in sessions with this kid, I find it funny that there's basically no information out there about the fact that he actually played for Alaska Rush most of his youth career and only spent 1-2 years at Cook.
Of my parents didn't keep me from club/academy soccer I'd be in the MLS. Also the High School team rejected me because i wasn't in the Academy team the varsity and JV team coaches were part of
Bro it’s so cool for him but I can’t stop wandering like brother made his debut and I’m not even in an academy and not even in a city where there is an academy I got to do 30 minutes of bus just to go to high school😢
From the Arctic? Snow way.... There's a serious point here: Players who play so much football so young have a track record of either failing to live to their full potential, or, in the case of players like Michael Owen, get some horrific injuries as they become marked men and their physical disadvantages as they are still essentially boys makes it real easy for the league's hard-men to put them down. Or they simply retire young, either because they get jaded earlier than other players or the injuries pile up sooner. I actually think there should probably be some law at the level of the football governing bodies that prevents Under 18s to play more than a certain amount of first team minutes, with perhaps an increase in allowed minutes between 18-21 before fully taking off the training wheels and allowing the opposition to be fully unleashed upon them.
do you watch Rokas Pukštas from Hajduk??he's American only 18 years old and he scored winners against Dinamo away in 94th and he scored winner against Rijeka in Split...he will become great player if he continues to progress normally!!!he is a wonderkid you should make a video about!!!and then you can get Hajduk's jersey!!!!we play against Paok tomorrow at 9 pm Croatian time, so watch it!!!he is injured but you can watch us!!!stadium is full!!it was sold in 4 hours when they started selling tickets!!!more than 30000 very passionate fans!!!check it if you have the time!!!
Don't know if you saw the news, but Borussia Dortmund just loaned a player from Nürnberg named Nischalke. Which tralnslated from German basically means Never Schalke.

which is also already ironic because Nurnberg, where Nischalke played, have a well known close friendship with Schalke
