@ham and cheese he coached the football team I support, which is probably worse than a concentration camp.

But Guttman probably lived one of the most interesting lives in the XX century for someone connected to football, so it would definitely be a really good video.
As an Australian, I can say with every fiber of my being that the curse was indeed real. Rewatching highlights from that match now acts as a safety blanket that comforts me whenever I have to watch us lose to developing countries in world cup qualifiers.
Schalke and Hamburg are just as bad regarding winning titles during the 21st century (I won‘t count HSV winning the DFL Ligapokal back in 2003, or Schalke winning the DFB Pokal in 2011, btw.). It‘s truly a curse, that is only comparable to that of Tottenham as well even Arsenal.

Aussie here, the witch doctor curse reversal was done in the TV show John Safran vs God and is really worth watching. It was actually a witch doctor from Mozambique and the ritual to reverse the curse was done at the same ground of the original curse. Whether you believe it or not, we have qualified for every single World Cup since the curse was lifted.
I'd love to watch a Bélla Gutman as he's the man who won both of Benfica's Champions Leagues and the man who prevented us from having 10 international trophies by now ahahah.
When I first started watching these videos I couldn’t bare sitting through a whole one, but over time I’ve really changed my mind to love your videos, they’re informative with being boring, you and the Irish guy have the best footy channel on here in my eyes!
Going @12 consecutive final losses. 1 Intercontinental Cup (1962 to Santos), 5 European Cup, 3 UEFA Cup, and 3 UEFA Youth League. I'm a Porto fan, and although I cannot be too sad about it, I must say that this U-19 loss to Real Madrid was harrowing and undeserved. Had a LOT of bad luck against Real Madrid. Ball twice to the post in the same play... Jesus I don't believe in curses, but you really are having a LOT of bad luck.
The thing about curses is that they affect your mentality. And mentality is everything when it comes to winning or losing in football. They might be nonsense when viewed rationally, but there's always that "what if" lurking in the back of your head - if you see one thing going wrong, you blame it on the curse and start playing worse as a result because you believe there's no point. If only blessings had the same effect.
You should have included the curse of Maeda, where for 6 seasons in a row, the first team Maeda scored against each season was relegated that season, including Gamba Osaka, who were one of the best teams in Japan at the time
CORRETION: Eusébio only won 1 European Cup. He was part of Benfica first team in the 1960/61 season, but he didn't play in the European Cup. Great job with the channel, by the way!!!

Another German one: Schalke. They won the German championship 7 times (but all before the Bundesliga was launched), but since then, they won sometimes in international championships or in the DFB Pokal, but always ended somewhere between 2 and 18 in the Bundesliga. Even though they won for example the title in the 2. Bundesliga twice, they never won the big title in the Bundesliga. They also are number 7 in the all-time Bundesliga table, making them the best team who never won the Bundesliga title. They came close in the 2000/01 season, but in the end Bayern still got a goal against the HSV, giving them the needed point to win the title. And all of that was decided in the last few minutes of the season. We also have a joke here: Schalker kriegen keine Schale (Schalkers don't get a bowl), since the trophy is shaped like a bowl
Olimpia (my team) had an 11 year local trophy drought that lasted from 2000 to 2011. A wild story at the time was that some people went to a witch named Kumanchu, to give the club luck at the Libertadores 2002 (which the team won), but they never payed him afterwards. So in return, he cursed the team. That period was the worst in the club's history, which even got close to the relegation places at one point. Allegedly, someone went to the witch in 2011 and payed the debt so he could lift the curse. That same year, the first title in 11 years was won.
Guttman was the manager of the legendary Hungary teams of the 50s the mighty Magyars! Who lost the 1954 to West Germany! Please do a Guttman video as I think the Football Historians would like it!
i know Scotland's Old Firm between Rangers and Celtic, Germany's Der Klassiker Bayern and Dortmund. Spain's El Classico Madrid and Barca. and debatably the Manchester Derby Between United and City not much else.
My country Vietnam had a curse in SEA GAMES (southeast asia's olympic), we have to wait 60 years (from 1959 to 2019) to win a gold medal once again, in those 60 years we managed to choke on 7 finals, 7 semi finals. Needless to say how happy we were last year when the curse was broken
At 2:14, you say that Bela Guttmann , alongside Eusebio, won a european cup twice in the space of 3 years, but Eusebio didn't win the first one. He signed a year after that. However, this didn't change the quality of the content, in this video. Keep it up!
Liverpool also had a curse by an African witch doctor, according to Bruce Grobelaar. Apparently During a testimonial or something of that sport a witch doctor sprinkled water on the Anfield goals saying the club would never win the league without Grobelaar in goal. Grobelaar has since reversed the curse by urinating on the goalposts during a legends fixture in 2018 or 2019
I recall hearing a story about a South African beer company sponsoring Liverpool in the late 80's and laying the curse that when Grobbelaar left they'd no longer win any league titles and the only way the curse would be lifted would be for him to piss on the goal posts, which be attempted several times but didn't actually get to do until 18/19 when he came out from the dressing room with a bottle full of urine.
As a Australian your on point that was probably the best team we ever had I think we had 4 players from the prem and the rest played in European leagues
In their third Libertadores final (1987), América de Cali were actually ten seconds away from winning the title before Diego Aguirre’s run and strike won it for Peñarol.

Liverpool's league title curse. Another witch doctor tale, but when Bruce Grobbelaar had his Liverpool testimonial in 1992 they put a curse on the goalposts at Anfield that "if you don't have Jungleman, you're not going to win again." Low and behold, Liverpool didn't win the league title for nearly 3 decades after that. In 2019, the curse was lifted by Grobbelaar urinating on all 4 goalposts, and Liverpool finally won the league title again that season.
Talk about the 1987 Brazilian league 1st division title! The championship that year was divided in 2 modules, the green and yellow if I’m not mistaken. The champions of each module should play against each other to decided the title, but Flamengo refused to play and Sport Recife were crowned champions. To this day, more than 30 years later, Flamengo still disputes the title in the judicial system, never having any success.
in 2002, you could also add that some bayer leverkusen player loss to brasil in the final of the world cup, which means that Ballack is one of the few player to have loss 4 finals in 1 year
Just commented that there was supposedly a curse on St Mary's when it was first built as it was allegedly some ancient burial ground. There's plenty of reasons for us not winning major trophies from a few bad owners, losing good players to bigger clubs, etc but I think we can rule out ancient curses. Especially we weren't winning major trophies before we moved to St Mary's.
There are many Pompey shirts buried underneath the St. Mary's pitch put there by contractors from Portsmouth who helped build St. Mary's. There's your problem!
@@sammyhill69 Yeah I've heard that rumour as well. Same as that there are allegedly a few Saints shirts buried under the Spinnaker Tower.

02:12 Correction: Bella Guttman only won 1 European Cup with Eusébio in the team. He was not part of the squad that won the 1961 edition, only arriving from Mozambique at the start of the following season.

Talk about the 1987 Brazilian league 1st division title! The championship that year was divided in 2 modules, the green and yellow if I’m not mistaken. The champions of each module should play against each other to decided the title, but Flamengo refused to play and Sport Recife were crowned champions. To this day, more than 30 years later, Flamengo still disputes the title in the judicial system, never having any success.
What is the curse there? Flamengo is the most successful team in Brazil, whils ixporti is mediocre as always.
in 2002, you could also add that some bayer leverkusen player loss to brasil in the final of the world cup, which means that Ballack is one of the few player to have loss 4 finals in 1 year
0:40 well mate I feel you it's been 135 years for Southampton and we have a single fa cup from 1976
Just commented that there was supposedly a curse on St Mary's when it was first built as it was allegedly some ancient burial ground.
There's plenty of reasons for us not winning major trophies from a few bad owners, losing good players to bigger clubs, etc but I think we can rule out ancient curses.
Especially we weren't winning major trophies before we moved to St Mary's.
There are many Pompey shirts buried underneath the St. Mary's pitch put there by contractors from Portsmouth who helped build St. Mary's. There's your problem!
@@sammyhill69 I've heard that rumor, and I do believe that it somehow causes our issues
@@sammyhill69 Yeah I've heard that rumour as well. Same as that there are allegedly a few Saints shirts buried under the Spinnaker Tower.
Personally I don't believe in superstitions when it comes to football.
There are far more logical explanations for the lack of fortunes of both Saints and Pompey over the years.
02:12 Correction: Bella Guttman only won 1 European Cup with Eusébio in the team. He was not part of the squad that won the 1961 edition, only arriving from Mozambique at the start of the following season.
Nice vid, but what about the World Cup champions curse
Thanks for thinking about Colombia :)
