Yeah, while basketball is faster, more dynamic than football, it also lacks the amazement of scoring because it happens all the time, so there's nothing special about it.

Also these types of thing happen after players already run a few kilometes

I play as a keeper. It is the most thankless role on the field. I've had defenders trying to blame me for their mistakes because I wasn't able to bail them out when l was left alone in my area with 3 forwards breaking through! At the elite level, goalkeeper reaction times can be less than a second. And sometimes that still isn't fast enough! Add to that you are covering a goal that stands 8 feet high and 24 feet wide. Keepers don't always get the respect they deserve.
@@wizardflaps I agree but only when the ref wants to play the right way. Because when the ref is corrupted it's a little easier if you know what I mean.
@@willmcclard206 It depends maybe of the country you come from. Here in Greece at the same game they cheer for him and they bury him in the first mistake.
It's not just about goals bro. It's about how they move. As a team or as a individual. When you watch someone or a team at their peak, them playing with the ball is too entertaining. Goals are just cherry on top. The plays are the cake.
@@ShymonionDefinitely can, you just dont get it interrupting the game. Plenty gets paid for those billboards you see around the stadium and for shirt sponsors.
@@Shymonion So true, thats why i can't watch NFL for example. I still watch NBA, but it would be so much better with less timeouts, football just flows.
Value is based on scarcity. It's the reason why gold and diamonds are so valuable. They don't score much, but each goal means way more. Something like basketball where they score once a minute, but the baskets don't give you any lift when they happen because it's expected. In football, that one extra goal against Stoke on a wet Wednesday night could win you the league and as such each goal gives you an unbelievable lift, a feeling that you just can't get in any other sport.
Diamonds are not valuable. Their value is manipulated by making sure diamonds stay off the market and children continue losing limbs so western women can feel like a princess
The emotion and hype you get from a late equalizer or a late winning goal in football is so insane. No sport in the world comes even close to being as hype and emotional as some of the best football moments. Thats how great this sport is. The best sport in the world by far for a reason
Take a look at one of the most difficult actions in football. A defender tackling a good forward without fouling him and giving away a free kick. It's a matter of strength, skill, timing and most of all, a knowledge of how the human body works and its limitations.
@@builderds5013 mmmm they are the hardest working but its not harder to create chances and assist than scoring. I’m not saying it’s less skillful either I’m just saying as a job which is harder
i had a sprained ligament as a defender, played the game through pain to win it, then couldn’t walk for 3 months and that was the last time i played football. But as the captain who represented my school, I was satisfied to be not able to walk for 3 months than to get substituted and take an L. And I’m only talking about school level. And someone had the audacity to say it’s softer than golf lol! Also, you gotta watch defenders videos, they are the real deal!
The whole thing about "low score games" is that this IS the point! It's about the tension that SO much effort and talent, tactics, and energy goes into scoring even just once that when you do, it's a big deal. Tension and release. Tension and release. That's why the passion because you just can't assume you're going to be able to get a goal back if they score against you.
@@captainfelo2460 Teams in European competitions play 3 games in a 7 day period fairly often I would say. The games might fall on separate weeks but Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday is literally 7 days.
Tbh, football is up & down. A game with a goal or two can be boring, there can be 7 goal thrillers, and on the other end there can be a 0-0 that is so full of action & great plays on the whole of the field, regarding defense, midfield & attack, that it is no surprise there were no goals. The players just played that good.
It's only boring if you weren't born with the love for the game, which I understand. I have that with cricket, it's like watching grass grow to me, I wasn't born into the culture.
That's the thing about Americans.its not always about the goals.if it was easy youl have alot of goals.its about how players use the ball from the back.creating opportunity.skill on the ball, trying to not loose the ball and alot more.ull get a game with no goals at all bt on the field the skill of the players make the game interesting
were never gonna get it. it sucks being a fan of the game while living here but either way why would you want us to like it anyway i cant imagine if it was popular here and we were a football power house. id imagine the obnoxious levels would so high. being hispanic is a plus cause of the community. we get it
bro running around for 90 minutes isn't joke, if americans took soccer seriously their obesity stats would go down in no time These soccer(football) players' fitness level is off the roof
@@voiceover2191 I thought pro cyclists and maybe tennis players gave them a run for their money? Plus Aussie rules footballers, but I can't remember tbh.
2:22 I was at that game, right behind the player (ziyech) when he scored that it looked like it was going over the bar then it just scooped down at the last second 😂 crazy goal
12:26 this comment is ridiculous. In American football you count 6 points for a touchdown, 3 for a field goal etc. then it is clear that so many points are seen on the scoreboard. Imagine in European football (soccer) they will count for example 6 points per goal from outside the penalty area, 3 per goal from inside the area, 2 per goal from a corner kick and an extra penalty after scoring from outside the area as the extra point (safety) after a touchdown. Then you would also see many points on the scoreboard. You should also understand that it is more difficult to play with the ball on the grass with your foot than with the egg under your arm and running.
@@valentinourbina007 are you saying they should change football to be like how he's suggested American sports are stupid. Making football high scoring won't make it more entertaining it will just take away from the importance of scoring a goal. In football 1 goal can be the difference between winning the league or being relegated, every single one matters, it doesn't need to be massively inflated like eggball where you spend 90% of the time watching adverts.
Football (soccer to you) is sport, tactics (like sporting chess), it's skill, bravery and absolute determination, commitment, it's ritualised battle, it's giving your absolute all for your team. It's the ultimate team game. A group of star players can be nothing more than a group if they're not a team and playing for each other.
The fact that you're using your feet to run AND manipulate the ball means football has a whole bunch of unique ways of injuring yourself compared to sports where you manipulate the ball with your hands or a stick/club.
To really enjoy football you have to care about a team and suffer with them. Part of the joy is the anticipation of a goal so when you score its like a bomb goes off in your soul.
the reason why football is ore exciting than you think is because teams can create promising attacks but they wont always score so it's not just just exciting when people score
You run like 5 to 10km each game , 45m each part of the mach . some games you haver another 30m after the 90minutes game. Super endurance, speed and amazing skill with your foot and head. In 'soccer' you have a lot of competitions not just in your country but with the others to.
Goalies are amazing, the goal seems like it's small thanks to them but in reality it's huge, 7.32 by 2.44 meters (or over 24 by over 8 feet), strikers can hit the ball with insane precision but most of the time golies manage to save. This game is about positioning, the goalie and the defenders need to move in a way that doesn't give an opportunity to shoot at all or close the space so the striker can possibly shoot at specific area of the goal that is protected. Finding openings or creating them are the very essence of the game, beautiful shots are just cherries on top ;p
@ 7:26 I totally agree - that defender bottled it. Rugby looks tougher but I played both and Rugby players are usually middle-class and not as determined to win at all costs. Whereas there is no such thing as a 'friendly match' in football. I've seen headers and vollies turn into a riot. We had violent versions of footy like 'Death Squares' and a 'Chicken Run' in our youth club. Rugby players play cricket when the ground gets too dry to dive on. I've been on both ends of a slide-tackle at full pelt on concrete many times. Softer than golf? Playing football can give you a heart attack after 10 minutes if you're not fit enough and most players over 30 need a week to recover before they can play again
7:13..You’re definitely right about that. Turning your back or ducking away from a shot is one of the main things you’re told never to do. You have to fight the instinct
But that ball was probably travelling upwards of 60mph. It’s all well and good to sit at home and say that he should have took it face on, but if you were on that pitch with the chance of having your head took clean off you wouldn’t be so confident.
@@Mdd099 I’m not saying I’ve never turned my back on a shot, but I’ve also taken plenty of them to the head to feel fairly confident about that. I understand your point though for sure.
@@Richlfc10 It's also just reflex, your body's defense mechanism in that split second. Sure, if you have a second to think, you might just get one for the team, but in that fraction of a millisecond, the instincts get the better of you
1: Scoring is definitely the hard part. 2: How do you stop that? How do you stop a perfectly executed fade route? You don't. Offense is more difficult than defense, but perfectly executed offense is not defensible. This is a common characteristic of most ball sports, both American and Association Football included.
"Offense is more difficult than defense" unless it's basketball, especially in the NBA where it's really easy to score because the opposing players can't play defense, if you sneeze next to an NBA player, it's a foul.
The team you support is something special. Your father is supporting this team and his father as well. It goes through generations. I was going to the ultras "seats" and i was following my team everywhere they played even when i got out of the country i was still watching my team no matter what. If you are seen in an area wearing the wrong teams jersey you will be in the hospital in no time. Football in europe is something special, its not about revenew (sorry if i butchered the word) its like your second family.
It's a 90+ minute game with just one 15-minute break and the field is huge (just the penalty field before a goal has comparable size to a basketball court) so there is a stupid amount of running. That is also why the game is usually slow and it might be why sometimes you see a player overplaying a contact - the game slows down for a bit and his team gets a breather.
gentleman we in north america have been brainwashed with dumb sport, i grew up with our football and baseball and believed ours were more exciting until i went to europe and saw some soccer games and believe me im a addicted to soccer now because their better athletes and skill you wouldnt see in our sport. i tried to play it and its tough and people i know who played it very often have major injuries like broken knees, hip replacement , and concussions because of head to head contact or ground . i love soccer now with my team being, a.c. milan, barcalona, juventus, and some of the german teams.
Grew up loving American football and Baseball as well (they're still fun). But admit after getting into soccer that it's all around far more exciting. It's literally non-stop action. America Football they play 5 seconds, then wait 20-30 seconds, then 5 minutes of commercials. With baseball they're ruining to make it faster paced. Soccer is perfect, beautiful and when watching skilled players go at it back and forth, nothing compares.
@AK_1444 sorry how many times have england won the world cup. Iisten i enjoy watching premier clubs but technically its not as perfect as Seria A or the Germany league
you are brainwashed in everything about your lives... u think are the best and you are most deffo not... add to that you are the most hated country in the world by your own accounts... so... yes, sucks to be a yank...
I'm an older American who has, late in my life, been won over to watching the English Premier League. There is a reason it is THE "football" in most of the world!
People keep saying that, but unlike Americans the rest of us know they have their own sport called football, so I genuinely don't understand why anyone minds them calling it soccer. Now, them saying "soccer, sorry... I mean fútbol" as if the rest of the world is just spanish speakers, now THAT annoys the hell out of me!
I’m European and I assure you football is a really great sport, I stopped watching it over the years but it really is, the best way to enjoy it is in the stadiums, especially in the “curva” where the ultras are
@@YoussefEditszz not really.. knowing where on your foot and the ball you want to hit & the direction of the wind. Thats literally it. Takes training tho.
The fact there are few goals in a game makes each one more valuable and exciting. In Football you are always just one second away from a goal so you have constant anticipation that always just about fails.
Yeah, which isn't true in most American Sports, as they score all the time, there's nothing special about scoring so there's nothing special about the game.
The endurance needed in football is crazy... I played pro basketball in Italy and one year we were doing outdoor athletic with a serieB football team, not even serieA ,and i remember the shock, how fast and how much time they was running... An African teammate of mine was challenging them, he was a 6'6" beast from Senegal named Ousmane Gueye, by far our most athletic man, and no way, he didn't achieve to beat anyone in that team
bro goals are just icing on the cake its the movement and plays during the game what makes it exciting , some 0 = 0 game i saw have me standing up and cheer, dont forget watch some goalies who are amazing on how they stop those shots.
Soccer is a game of chess, drawing attention and utilizing open spaces. You need a deep understanding of ball physics to appreciate the sport and sadly its hard to understand it without playing. Most people who think they can play cant make a pass past 10 yards and its took my “football is better soccer is soft” college friends a single session to admit it was a bigger challenge than they could take. None of them were used to 40 minute cardio plus physical contact. Nevermind the need to constantly change pace and sorry but I didn’t take it easy😂 nutmeg after nutmeg on that day. I had to embarrass them to stand up for the sport. They used to talk shit now every Sunday we on the college fields battling it out. Mans got tekkers😎 but they’re trying and thats all that matters. They love the sport now, play FIFA and we watched the whole world cup together. Dont just say soccer is soft, be a man and get on the field mr muscle 😂 take a video while you’re at it and lets see who is “soft”
I also played Rugby in HS so I also play Football🏈 with the college team during practices. Im not great but it came easy. I just have to worry about one job😅 and you rarely get the ball anyway. Like I know its the amateur version but its college level still, gotta be somewhat comparable right? Idk but I’ve tested both sides and soccer is harder for me🤷🏾♂️
Futbol is about skill, jogo bonito, the beautiful game, la gambeta, the german tactic, the english fast pace, la samba from brazil. Players are worshipped like gods in some countries; Maradona is placed together with jesus when praying in argentina. People are killed in the most brutal crowds; players have been murdered for making mistakes in important games, some even make following their team a way of life. You only see that type of passion in the game of the people.
The one guy in green and black strips that kick it with the back of his shoe, that trick in Spanish is call "el escorpion" de scorpion, my granpa had me practing that move often, and many other, RIP, he was a 2nd devision gole, he came from a time when soccer was more show bloating, but its my favorite kind of soccer, i still love modern soccer thought.
Watch more teams play Get a understanding of the game You need to find a team..your choice Players out there with skills is endless But watch a full 90 game and you will see why we enjoy this game of soccer so much ✔️.This game is passionate ❤
The fact the games are 90mins/45mins per half and most games a low scoring games because its so difficult to break teams down and get through on goal is what makes its so good when your club scores there's matches that go through the entire 90mins with the score 0-0 then there will be anywhere from 1min added time to 6mins added time at the end of the match becuase of stoppages like fouls injuries and set pieces then your team scores in the final seconds of the game its things like thay which make football the biggest sport on the planet and why we love it so much.
If you like seeing "ankle breaking" in football (soccer) you should watch "Cristiano Ronaldo the man who can do everything" this man is breaking all kinds of ankles and scoring amazing goals!
If you like seeing ankle breaking, then you should probably watch the best ankle breaker instead of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo is better at other aspects of the game.
You gotta learn how the teams setup and play strategies against each other. It makes the slow parts really interesting. When game changes happen, the whole lineups change. Similar to football but drawn out. Sometimes you see a strategy straight up reck another team that has better players.
That is why Strikers cost around $120,000,000 average ones cost $20,000,000 and Goalkeepers 5 times less. A Great striker is priceless like Haarland of Manchester City in England with 45 goals in 31 Top Flight Games.
@@Isleofskye They won the league last year without a striker. Players who create goals out of nothing are priceless, players who competently finish decent chances are just expensive. Haaland is a bit of the former and a lot of the latter, which is why he's a superstar, but give me a player who creates a ton of chances over a good finisher any day.
@@korganrocks3995 Fair Enough but, certainly,as I am in my 7th decade of attending, not for me. Obviously,a genius like DebRuyne or quality like Grealish are vital but as Chelsea have shown, without a quality striker it makes it more difficult as The Terminator is, virtually, on a goal per game, which, immediately, gives you a great chance. Strikers like THe Robot come along once a generation in our league:)
@@Isleofskye As a Swede, I have had years of watching a mediocre team fail to provide adequate service to a world class striker, and trust me when I say I'd have swapped Zlatan for a creator without hesitation. Having played with players above, beneath and at my own level I can definitely say that I'd much rather play as a midfielder with bad strikers than as a striker with bad midfielders.
Being the goalie on the field is the hardest job easily in football, it is preposterous how hard people can kick that ball, you have to guess most of the time. Now, i've never been a goalie but knowing how hard even a guy like me can kick the ball and how little time they have to react in that chaotic moment is something else.
Yes, in the end you might end up scoring one goal, but during the match you never know when the perfect situation gonna come, so as you watch you're on the edge all the time. 45 min, break, 45 min, sometimes extra time, when in the last moment another goal may be scored, which can change the whole outcome. The game sometimes can be boring as hell, but it can also prove more exciting than ever, there's always this sense of surprise instead of just counting which team scores more one by one. Football is all about leaving the heart on the field for this one perfect moment and I find it much more exciting than any other sport
As an Goalkeeper and a Forword Player i can say.... Goalkeeper is the hardest position... You save your Team all the time bit when you get 1 goal against you everyone is hating you...As forward for doing nothing everyone is happy so...Goalkeeper for shure the hardest
That "backward back-flip kick" move is called the bicycle kick. 95% of the time it isn't done to be flexing or flashy. It is done when the scorer happen to have their back turned against the goal when they secure the ball, AND the ball is in the air. Imagine trying to get that ball back on the ground, AND turn your body 180 before officially shooting it. By that time the defenders would be already on your ass, and the goalkeeper will be 100% ready. The scorers don't have that time. Too much is at stake. Bicycle kick is in that scenario the only quickest way to get the ball shot towards your backside. A lot of times you know the ball will land in the proximity of your body, but you won't have the time to position yourself for the ball to land on your feet while you also face forward.
My uncles , cousins and close friends have played professionally.. Is nice to see you both enjoying high lights the game is long but the mastery of different plays makes for exciting sport to watch ..

You guys should check videos about goalkeepers too. It seems that every time they reach the box the ball goes in, but the keepers... They also win games.
the reason why i like football is because of the reason 1 goal can already make the difference. if your team is up or down just by 1 goal especially early on, you will be on your seat the whole time wondering can they catch up or will the other team score. while in american football or more in the nba the game only gets exciting in the last few minutes since mostly its just a back and forth in points. i mean even if you lead with 12 points in the nba that is really nothing. but yea thats just me
The thing about scoring is.. im 39 and i can still remember a goal i scored for my school team, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. We were 2-1 down in a cup game 85 on the clock, I one twoed with the rb when the ball came back, my back to their goal, i rainbow flicked it back over their cm’s head, ran forward, did two step overs and broke their dcm ankles, i through balled it between their cb an Rb with the outside of my left boot to our Lw, he ran on to it and with a first time touch, crossed it! ahhh its like the world slowed down and everything was in slowmo 🤔😮💨 i ran into the box and did a diving header. Goal!! We ran in celebration for about a mile 😂 we won that game in penalties. For a month straight everyone at school, teachers, the principal, all the girls, all the lads knew who i was, a literal celebrity, hugged me, invited me to their parties etc, even my mum was acting weird being all nice 😅🤔 in fact i can argue that goal was the reason i lost my virginity, didn’t get expelled, know all the cool guys, never got bullied, etc. smh football in England for some, is more than a sport. 😤
Soccer is still football 'futbol' is just football in different languages, it is really funny that every American that I spoke to about soccer/football they all were like, "yeah you call it 'futbol' right?" and I am like "I mean Spanish speakers, Turkish speakers and some others pronounce it as that but it is football in English, nothing different". It's weird psychology they have...
being goalie is harder, you gotta have quick reflexes, know how to dive for the ball, know how to dive without getting hurt and have amazing focus on the ball, on the player and on the suroundings. being a right wing/ left wing or attacker you gotta have fast legs and great focus
Watch El Clasico or a Uefa game, you'll be shook. Manchester Derby, London Derby, Bayern vs Dortmund. These games will give you the true sense of excitement
Every sport is unique and has skills required. Personally the skills in the NFL and Rugby are less than others. Its not hard to run holding a ball and try to avoid defendive players. Football as the World knows it, is an incredibly skillful game and those who have played it know this. For me it has everything a sport should have. The aggresion (just watch a derby like Sevilla Vs Betis in Spain, or Genoa Vs Samp in Italy), the skill, the incredible drama of late goals and comebacks and promotion and relegation. And incredible fan involvement. So much passion.
7:18 He is trusting his goalkeeper. Some times it is worse when it hits you, deflects, fucks the keeper and it goes in. Also, he is thinking it might go over the bar.
Football is unpredictable. Virtually any team can beat any other team, on their day. You can get exciting 0 - 0 games, or 4 - 3 games. It's because goals are hard to score that makes it interesting.
who ever said harder to score is out of their mind. I played upfront and in goal. I speak from experience, its a lot harder to be in the goal since you can NOT make mistakes without being punished.

Value is based on scarcity. It's the reason why gold and diamonds are so valuable.
They don't score much, but each goal means way more. Something like basketball where they score once a minute, but the baskets don't give you any lift when they happen because it's expected.
In football, that one extra goal against Stoke on a wet Wednesday night could win you the league and as such each goal gives you an unbelievable lift, a feeling that you just can't get in any other sport.
Diamonds are not valuable. Their value is manipulated by making sure diamonds stay off the market and children continue losing limbs so western women can feel like a princess
The emotion and hype you get from a late equalizer or a late winning goal in football is so insane. No sport in the world comes even close to being as hype and emotional as some of the best football moments. Thats how great this sport is. The best sport in the world by far for a reason
Take a look at one of the most difficult actions in football. A defender tackling a good forward without fouling him and giving away a free kick. It's a matter of strength, skill, timing and most of all, a knowledge of how the human body works and its limitations.

It’s harder to be the goalie than the shooter
Nah scoring is the hardest job
@@ghostirq nah midfield is the hardest if were talking positions
There are strikers who finishes seasons without goals there's no keeper who finishes a season without a single clean sheet
@@builderds5013 mmmm they are the hardest working but its not harder to create chances and assist than scoring. I’m not saying it’s less skillful either I’m just saying as a job which is harder
No
i had a sprained ligament as a defender, played the game through pain to win it, then couldn’t walk for 3 months and that was the last time i played football. But as the captain who represented my school, I was satisfied to be not able to walk for 3 months than to get substituted and take an L. And I’m only talking about school level.
And someone had the audacity to say it’s softer than golf lol!
Also, you gotta watch defenders videos, they are the real deal!
The whole thing about "low score games" is that this IS the point! It's about the tension that SO much effort and talent, tactics, and energy goes into scoring even just once that when you do, it's a big deal.
Tension and release. Tension and release. That's why the passion because you just can't assume you're going to be able to get a goal back if they score against you.

Tbh, football is up & down. A game with a goal or two can be boring, there can be 7 goal thrillers, and on the other end there can be a 0-0 that is so full of action & great plays on the whole of the field, regarding defense, midfield & attack, that it is no surprise there were no goals. The players just played that good.
It's only boring if you weren't born with the love for the game, which I understand. I have that with cricket, it's like watching grass grow to me, I wasn't born into the culture.
That's the thing about Americans.its not always about the goals.if it was easy youl have alot of goals.its about how players use the ball from the back.creating opportunity.skill on the ball, trying to not loose the ball and alot more.ull get a game with no goals at all bt on the field the skill of the players make the game interesting
Not just the back everywhere. The midfielders are creating opportunities and the wingers are as well the fowards are taking advantage.
were never gonna get it. it sucks being a fan of the game while living here but either way why would you want us to like it anyway i cant imagine if it was popular here and we were a football power house. id imagine the obnoxious levels would so high. being hispanic is a plus cause of the community. we get it

oh thanks for the timestamp
12:26 this comment is ridiculous. In American football you count 6 points for a touchdown, 3 for a field goal etc. then it is clear that so many points are seen on the scoreboard. Imagine in European football (soccer) they will count for example 6 points per goal from outside the penalty area, 3 per goal from inside the area, 2 per goal from a corner kick and an extra penalty after scoring from outside the area as the extra point (safety) after a touchdown. Then you would also see many points on the scoreboard. You should also understand that it is more difficult to play with the ball on the grass with your foot than with the egg under your arm and running.
Such a good idea
@@valentinourbina007 are you saying they should change football to be like how he's suggested American sports are stupid. Making football high scoring won't make it more entertaining it will just take away from the importance of scoring a goal. In football 1 goal can be the difference between winning the league or being relegated, every single one matters, it doesn't need to be massively inflated like eggball where you spend 90% of the time watching adverts.
Best goal ever scored was Bergkamps pirouette against Newcastle. Bergkamp has the best 1st touch I’ve ever seen
Ronaldinho is the guy you want for dribbling.
Yes, 20 years ago
Technically Messi is the most successful dribbler...and the only person close is Hazard
Most popular sport in the world for a reason, no 3 hour ad breaks like the superbowl
Football (soccer to you) is sport, tactics (like sporting chess), it's skill, bravery and absolute determination, commitment, it's ritualised battle, it's giving your absolute all for your team. It's the ultimate team game. A group of star players can be nothing more than a group if they're not a team and playing for each other.
As someone who played Rugby, Football and cricket at Varsity level, I only ever got injured in football, had my foot facing the other way.
The fact that you're using your feet to run AND manipulate the ball means football has a whole bunch of unique ways of injuring yourself compared to sports where you manipulate the ball with your hands or a stick/club.
To really enjoy football you have to care about a team and suffer with them. Part of the joy is the anticipation of a goal so when you score its like a bomb goes off in your soul.
the reason why football is ore exciting than you think is because teams can create promising attacks but they wont always score so it's not just just exciting when people score

You run like 5 to 10km each game , 45m each part of the mach . some games you haver another 30m after the 90minutes game. Super endurance, speed and amazing skill with your foot and head. In 'soccer' you have a lot of competitions not just in your country but with the others to.
Goalies are amazing, the goal seems like it's small thanks to them but in reality it's huge, 7.32 by 2.44 meters (or over 24 by over 8 feet), strikers can hit the ball with insane precision but most of the time golies manage to save. This game is about positioning, the goalie and the defenders need to move in a way that doesn't give an opportunity to shoot at all or close the space so the striker can possibly shoot at specific area of the goal that is protected. Finding openings or creating them are the very essence of the game, beautiful shots are just cherries on top ;p
Brit here, theres no argument, Super Bowl watched by 124 million. World Cup Soccer 5 Billion!! FOOTBALL(not American football) greatest game ever
@ 7:26 I totally agree - that defender bottled it. Rugby looks tougher but I played both and Rugby players are usually middle-class and not as determined to win at all costs. Whereas there is no such thing as a 'friendly match' in football. I've seen headers and vollies turn into a riot. We had violent versions of footy like 'Death Squares' and a 'Chicken Run' in our youth club. Rugby players play cricket when the ground gets too dry to dive on. I've been on both ends of a slide-tackle at full pelt on concrete many times. Softer than golf? Playing football can give you a heart attack after 10 minutes if you're not fit enough and most players over 30 need a week to recover before they can play again
in a 1 on 1 scenario, the goalie is always at a disadvantage. Defence plays a major role oc so shooters tend to have a real hard time scoring
7:13..You’re definitely right about that. Turning your back or ducking away from a shot is one of the main things you’re told never to do. You have to fight the instinct
But that ball was probably travelling upwards of 60mph. It’s all well and good to sit at home and say that he should have took it face on, but if you were on that pitch with the chance of having your head took clean off you wouldn’t be so confident.
@@Mdd099 I’m not saying I’ve never turned my back on a shot, but I’ve also taken plenty of them to the head to feel fairly confident about that. I understand your point though for sure.
@@Richlfc10 It's also just reflex, your body's defense mechanism in that split second. Sure, if you have a second to think, you might just get one for the team, but in that fraction of a millisecond, the instincts get the better of you

@@Richlfc10 You can't, it'd be like training to not pull your arm over a lit candle or fire. And if you can do so, you aren't just human anymore.
You dont love football until you can celebrate a well timed tackle as much as a good goal...
1: Scoring is definitely the hard part.
2: How do you stop that? How do you stop a perfectly executed fade route? You don't. Offense is more difficult than defense, but perfectly executed offense is not defensible. This is a common characteristic of most ball sports, both American and Association Football included.
"Offense is more difficult than defense" unless it's basketball, especially in the NBA where it's really easy to score because the opposing players can't play defense, if you sneeze next to an NBA player, it's a foul.
@@Maidenintime86 Even in the NBA 50% is considered an excellent field goal percentage.
@@evanerys I don't think it's excellent, I'd say ok, but that doesn't take away the fact that it is a lot easier to score than most sports.
4:02 when you said “that was the best goal I seen” I knew you were in for a ride lol
The team you support is something special. Your father is supporting this team and his father as well. It goes through generations. I was going to the ultras "seats" and i was following my team everywhere they played even when i got out of the country i was still watching my team no matter what. If you are seen in an area wearing the wrong teams jersey you will be in the hospital in no time. Football in europe is something special, its not about revenew (sorry if i butchered the word) its like your second family.
You'd have to watch a regular game to realize how crazy the stuff they're doing in this video is..
Yea that’s the next move, to watch regular games now that I kno the rules and seen so many highlights lol
It's a 90+ minute game with just one 15-minute break and the field is huge (just the penalty field before a goal has comparable size to a basketball court) so there is a stupid amount of running. That is also why the game is usually slow and it might be why sometimes you see a player overplaying a contact - the game slows down for a bit and his team gets a breather.
gentleman we in north america have been brainwashed with dumb sport, i grew up with our football and baseball and believed ours were more exciting until i went to europe and saw some soccer games and believe me im a addicted to soccer now because their better athletes and skill you wouldnt see in our sport. i tried to play it and its tough and people i know who played it very often have major injuries like broken knees, hip replacement , and concussions because of head to head contact or ground . i love soccer now with my team being, a.c. milan, barcalona, juventus, and some of the german teams.
Grew up loving American football and Baseball as well (they're still fun). But admit after getting into soccer that it's all around far more exciting. It's literally non-stop action. America Football they play 5 seconds, then wait 20-30 seconds, then 5 minutes of commercials. With baseball they're ruining to make it faster paced. Soccer is perfect, beautiful and when watching skilled players go at it back and forth, nothing compares.

Americans get a pass. After all, they aint even the ones who came up with it, its just widespread there as
People keep saying that, but unlike Americans the rest of us know they have their own sport called football, so I genuinely don't understand why anyone minds them calling it soccer. Now, them saying "soccer, sorry... I mean fútbol" as if the rest of the world is just spanish speakers, now THAT annoys the hell out of me!
I’m European and I assure you football is a really great sport, I stopped watching it over the years but it really is, the best way to enjoy it is in the stadiums, especially in the “curva” where the ultras are
Man, I felt proud seeing Miggy Almiron in this compilation. After all the horrible years of Ashley and now we have a goal in a compilation like this.

@@vaestkusten6041 True. i started being into football 1 year ago and i mainly focus on curves.
The fact there are few goals in a game makes each one more valuable and exciting. In Football you are always just one second away from a goal so you have constant anticipation that always just about fails.
Yeah, which isn't true in most American Sports, as they score all the time, there's nothing special about scoring so there's nothing special about the game.
The guy who said football was soft never watched Gattuso, Roy keane, Pepe or Ramos play 🤣
That pedri goal 3:42 is one of my favourites
The endurance needed in football is crazy... I played pro basketball in Italy and one year we were doing outdoor athletic with a serieB football team, not even serieA ,and i remember the shock, how fast and how much time they was running... An African teammate of mine was challenging them, he was a 6'6" beast from Senegal named Ousmane Gueye, by far our most athletic man, and no way, he didn't achieve to beat anyone in that team
bro goals are just icing on the cake its the movement and plays during the game what makes it exciting , some 0 = 0 game i saw have me standing up and cheer, dont forget watch some goalies who are amazing on how they stop those shots.
Soccer is a game of chess, drawing attention and utilizing open spaces. You need a deep understanding of ball physics to appreciate the sport and sadly its hard to understand it without playing.
Most people who think they can play cant make a pass past 10 yards and its took my “football is better soccer is soft” college friends a single session to admit it was a bigger challenge than they could take. None of them were used to 40 minute cardio plus physical contact. Nevermind the need to constantly change pace and sorry but I didn’t take it easy😂 nutmeg after nutmeg on that day. I had to embarrass them to stand up for the sport. They used to talk shit now every Sunday we on the college fields battling it out. Mans got tekkers😎 but they’re trying and thats all that matters. They love the sport now, play FIFA and we watched the whole world cup together.
Dont just say soccer is soft, be a man and get on the field mr muscle 😂 take a video while you’re at it and lets see who is “soft”
I also played Rugby in HS so I also play Football🏈 with the college team during practices. Im not great but it came easy. I just have to worry about one job😅 and you rarely get the ball anyway. Like I know its the amateur version but its college level still, gotta be somewhat comparable right? Idk but I’ve tested both sides and soccer is harder for me🤷🏾♂️
Thank you for that! Soccer is FAR from soft.
Futbol is about skill, jogo bonito, the beautiful game, la gambeta, the german tactic, the english fast pace, la samba from brazil. Players are worshipped like gods in some countries; Maradona is placed together with jesus when praying in argentina. People are killed in the most brutal crowds; players have been murdered for making mistakes in important games, some even make following their team a way of life. You only see that type of passion in the game of the people.
This is the sport half the world population watch ( World Cup)
The one guy in green and black strips that kick it with the back of his shoe, that trick in Spanish is call "el escorpion" de scorpion, my granpa had me practing that move often, and many other, RIP, he was a 2nd devision gole, he came from a time when soccer was more show bloating, but its my favorite kind of soccer, i still love modern soccer thought.
Watch more teams play
Get a understanding of the game
You need to find a team..your choice
Players out there with skills is endless
But watch a full 90 game and you will see why we enjoy this game of soccer so much ✔️.This game is passionate ❤
The fact the games are 90mins/45mins per half and most games a low scoring games because its so difficult to break teams down and get through on goal is what makes its so good when your club scores there's matches that go through the entire 90mins with the score 0-0 then there will be anywhere from 1min added time to 6mins added time at the end of the match becuase of stoppages like fouls injuries and set pieces then your team scores in the final seconds of the game its things like thay which make football the biggest sport on the planet and why we love it so much.

Good strikers are a dime a dozen good goalies are rare much harder to be a good goalie
That is why Strikers cost around $120,000,000 average ones cost $20,000,000 and Goalkeepers 5 times less.
A Great striker is priceless like Haarland of Manchester City in England with 45 goals in 31 Top Flight Games.

@@korganrocks3995 Fair Enough but, certainly,as I am in my 7th decade of attending, not for me.
Obviously,a genius like DebRuyne or quality like Grealish are vital but as Chelsea have shown, without a quality striker it makes it more difficult as The Terminator is, virtually, on a goal per game, which, immediately, gives you a great chance. Strikers like THe Robot come along once a generation in our league:)
@@Isleofskye As a Swede, I have had years of watching a mediocre team fail to provide adequate service to a world class striker, and trust me when I say I'd have swapped Zlatan for a creator without hesitation.
Having played with players above, beneath and at my own level I can definitely say that I'd much rather play as a midfielder with bad strikers than as a striker with bad midfielders.
Being the goalie on the field is the hardest job easily in football, it is preposterous how hard people can kick that ball, you have to guess most of the time. Now, i've never been a goalie but knowing how hard even a guy like me can kick the ball and how little time they have to react in that chaotic moment is something else.
Please react to “ these skills should be illegal”…. It’s a bunch of ankle breakers🔥
He Did!
Yes, in the end you might end up scoring one goal, but during the match you never know when the perfect situation gonna come, so as you watch you're on the edge all the time. 45 min, break, 45 min, sometimes extra time, when in the last moment another goal may be scored, which can change the whole outcome. The game sometimes can be boring as hell, but it can also prove more exciting than ever, there's always this sense of surprise instead of just counting which team scores more one by one. Football is all about leaving the heart on the field for this one perfect moment and I find it much more exciting than any other sport
It called football
Ok
As an Goalkeeper and a Forword Player i can say.... Goalkeeper is the hardest position... You save your Team all the time bit when you get 1 goal against you everyone is hating you...As forward for doing nothing everyone is happy so...Goalkeeper for shure the hardest
Or your defenders are just trash
Football*
That "backward back-flip kick" move is called the bicycle kick. 95% of the time it isn't done to be flexing or flashy. It is done when the scorer happen to have their back turned against the goal when they secure the ball, AND the ball is in the air. Imagine trying to get that ball back on the ground, AND turn your body 180 before officially shooting it. By that time the defenders would be already on your ass, and the goalkeeper will be 100% ready. The scorers don't have that time. Too much is at stake. Bicycle kick is in that scenario the only quickest way to get the ball shot towards your backside. A lot of times you know the ball will land in the proximity of your body, but you won't have the time to position yourself for the ball to land on your feet while you also face forward.

You guys should check videos about goalkeepers too. It seems that every time they reach the box the ball goes in, but the keepers... They also win games.
the reason why i like football is because of the reason 1 goal can already make the difference. if your team is up or down just by 1 goal especially early on, you will be on your seat the whole time wondering can they catch up or will the other team score. while in american football or more in the nba the game only gets exciting in the last few minutes since mostly its just a back and forth in points. i mean even if you lead with 12 points in the nba that is really nothing. but yea thats just me

The thing about scoring is.. im 39 and i can still remember a goal i scored for my school team, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. We were 2-1 down in a cup game 85 on the clock, I one twoed with the rb when the ball came back, my back to their goal, i rainbow flicked it back over their cm’s head, ran forward, did two step overs and broke their dcm ankles, i through balled it between their cb an Rb with the outside of my left boot to our Lw, he ran on to it and with a first time touch, crossed it! ahhh its like the world slowed down and everything was in slowmo 🤔😮💨 i ran into the box and did a diving header. Goal!! We ran in celebration for about a mile 😂 we won that game in penalties. For a month straight everyone at school, teachers, the principal, all the girls, all the lads knew who i was, a literal celebrity, hugged me, invited me to their parties etc, even my mum was acting weird being all nice 😅🤔 in fact i can argue that goal was the reason i lost my virginity, didn’t get expelled, know all the cool guys, never got bullied, etc. smh football in England for some, is more than a sport. 😤
Soccer is still football 'futbol' is just football in different languages, it is really funny that every American that I spoke to about soccer/football they all were like, "yeah you call it 'futbol' right?" and I am like "I mean Spanish speakers, Turkish speakers and some others pronounce it as that but it is football in English, nothing different". It's weird psychology they have...
It's football. FOOTBALL!
being goalie is harder, you gotta have quick reflexes, know how to dive for the ball, know how to dive without getting hurt and have amazing focus on the ball, on the player and on the suroundings.
being a right wing/ left wing or attacker you gotta have fast legs and great focus

Every sport is unique and has skills required. Personally the skills in the NFL and Rugby are less than others. Its not hard to run holding a ball and try to avoid defendive players.
Football as the World knows it, is an incredibly skillful game and those who have played it know this.
For me it has everything a sport should have. The aggresion (just watch a derby like Sevilla Vs Betis in Spain, or Genoa Vs Samp in Italy), the skill, the incredible drama of late goals and comebacks and promotion and relegation. And incredible fan involvement. So much passion.
The thing with NFL and rugby is you need to be big, strong and willing to workout so that is a skill set required
7:18 He is trusting his goalkeeper. Some times it is worse when it hits you, deflects, fucks the keeper and it goes in. Also, he is thinking it might go over the bar.
Football is unpredictable.
Virtually any team can beat any other team, on their day.
You can get exciting 0 - 0 games, or 4 - 3 games.

who ever said harder to score is out of their mind. I played upfront and in goal. I speak from experience, its a lot harder to be in the goal since you can NOT make mistakes without being punished.
You definitely right
