The goalie with the US badge is Tim Howard, US goalkeeper with 121 caps. Its actually not a good thing when your goalkepper is your best player on the field though 😅
Usa have always had good goal keepers, read somewhere that more kids want to be 'keepers in america as they see it as being the most important position whereas in the rest of the world when kids are starting out in the game they want to be forwards or midfielders
Especially if he has to show it! 😉😉
@@johnadams2286 Growing up in europe, back in school, nobody wanted to be the goalkeeper, it was always for the fat guy LOL. But when I actually started training in a junior team, I went full on keeper. I don't know if I thought it was cool to get to wear the gloves and having to jump everywhere or something like that, but I loved it!
Now I know just enough football to graduate German school, but I'm reminded of an old interview by then-eternal goalie Oliver Kahn (obviously paraphrased by memory) "You can't lose if you don't allow any goals.".
Aside from that, we never would have reached the Brazil blowout if Neuer hadn't saved the game before that...
Neuer 2014 vs algeria hast entered the chat
The keeper with the 16 saves was US keeper Tim Howard and it was in the 2014 world cup round of 16 against belgium (which USA sadly lost 2:1), so he was saving the goal against shots from Lukaku and other good belgium players.
Many happy memories of Tim's career from this Everton fan! 💙🤍💙
Indeed, I watched the same game (I’m Belgian). I almost went crazy! Strong keeping from Tim!
Belgium had lukapoo shooting on goal so not impressive
Why sadly?? Belgium was always in top 5 in football US would be destroyed if it wasn't for that GK
He even scored a goal from his own side towards the opponents goal. I just searched up a clip on youtube ( th-cam.com/video/XeZ5zNv9_40/w-d-xo.html )
5:10 is Ronaldinho. It's not routine for most players at all. That man could do very nasty things.
In terms of pure ball control, he and Maradona quite a bit above the other big stars football has ever known.
These men weren't football players, they were football artists.
think you forgot about messi ;)@@DenUitvreter
There's a reason he was called "The Magician" 😉 My fav player. Not only was he fast, accurate, technical, extremely aware of surroundings but also very very very entertaining to watch.
@@yakoobskiOther players must have looked to be in slowmotion to him.
What I love is a 45 minute half and it’s non-stop. 90 minutes of actual on field play .No commercials no shots of the commentator’s. All in a broadcast of two hours.US football games are an hour long. Average for pro and college is 3 1/2 hour broadcast with 18 1/2 minutes of actual playing time. So basically a 3 hour commercial with analysis of all the on field “action”.
I get what you're saying but there's been studies done that show there's only usually around 55/60 mins of actual play.
However your point does stand, it's usually just a minute or two stops at a time rather than multiple actual breaks
Always warms the heart, seeing one of our brothers across the pond, appreciating ' the beautiful game'.
joga bonito :)
Problem is they only see the highlights and think this is normal or that it occurs often. The beauty of those moments is given by their rarity. I suggest to watch many videos of fails and misses ,if not actually a game,before they watch the best moments
You need to watch famous R.Carlos goal against France in 1998. Its crazy.
So many of his goals are fantastic
It is, but it was 99% luck, he tried this for a thousand times and the vast majority ended up high in the stands.
@@RobalogotHe was actually quite a poor free kick taker, he needed about 20 of them for a single goal. This one was a great one but the camera angle made it more legendary and made Roberto Carlos far more legendary as a free kick taker than deserved.
@@Robalogot that's your opinion ^^
As a French I can remember this one, just before the World Cup. It was amazing to witness on 480p at the time 😂
5:55 , that's Tim Howard, U.S. vs Kingdom of Belgium. People expected to see at least 5-6 goals in the net, but Howard saved U.S. from humiliation with his ninja reflexes.
Yep, he was bitten by a radioactive spider the night before 😂. Our marksmen were also pretty bad that night, of the 16 he saved only 2 would ve gone in if he didnt touch it, ofcourse that doesnt take away from Tims performance, it was his job to get every ball and he almost did. Very impresdive, and frustrating 😂 for us.
0:39 Then you should see Zlatan Ibrahimović. He introduced his own Taekwondo style in Football and scored some of the craziest goals in history.
Eric Cantona did it first!
Kevin Debruyne - when football becomes art.
Clips from Man City and his Belgium National side is ace 👌
Debruyne's amazing, but watch some highlights from Dennis Berkamp. Poetry in football motion.
tbh, the whole Belgian "golden generation" has performed extremely well in their clubs and poor for their national team.
Imagine Debruyne, Hazard, Company, Lukaku, Fellaini, Mertens, Courtois, Vertonghen, Witsel ... etc playing at their best in the same team
5:11 You are missing some awesome ball controll. Look at the guy, he is kicking the ball right up in the sky and make a excellent stop ball when it comes to the ground.
5:22 This guy is really good
Me: that’s Ronaldinho
You should make a reaction to the best of Zlatan Ibrahimovic ;)
I was going to write the same exact thing... EVERYBODY knows Messi and Ronaldo, but Zlatan is not that famous, but spectacular!
@@Slippy6582 yep or a reaction to Roberto Carlos
Zlatan reaction is necessary
Zlatan was not on the level of Messi and Ronaldo. But He has the most spectacular goals.
"... two Defenders at once that is pretty fascinating to me ..."
Now you know why we love the sport. 😅 The footwork, the ball control is just 👌
You'll not get the whole appreciation without context and without watching more games. Basically many things looks just cool to you, but everybody who knows is in awe.
For example 4:20 you probably missed, that Ronaldo is heading the ball in 2.93m. That's 9.6 feet bro!! That's almost equal to basketball hoop!
0:50 in Germany we call it "Bananen-Flanke"
Duude those clips of the same game with the keeper. Dude really woke up that day and yelled: YOUUU SHAAALL NOOT PAASS
Ps. That was Tim Howard btw, the starting goalkeeper for your National team during the 2000s-2010s. The guy was amazing
PLEASE react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic high lights. One of the most talented players to touch a ball, but also probably the most spectacular goal scorer of all time
The 2024 European Championships (Euro2024) start Friday June 14th. Try to catch some games! Probably a bit problematic due to kick off times, but highly recommend if you want to see some good football, especially in the knockout stages.
I agree. And i dont even think kick off times will be a big issue. Most games start at 18h or 21 C.E.T, only a few at 15h. Chicago is only 6hrs behind, so the early game would be 9h for him. Not a terrible time. Australians have it worse in this case 😂.
Ps: how are the dutch doing? Going to win this one? As usual 😂. Grapje he, ik heb geen idee hoe we er zelf voor staan en de oefen interlands volgende week zullen ons niet veel wijzer maken denk ik. Anyway good luck, en hopelijk tot in de finale. Groetjes van de zuidelijke nederlanden aka Vlaanderen. 🤘❤️
@@MotherGoose264 mwah...nee we gaan niet winnen 🤣
5.19 I think that is Ronaldinho and he was insanely good, especially when it comes to pure ball control which is of course only a part of being a good player. He and Maradona are just wired differently between their super quick brains and legs, they operate in a different time from regular humans, they have always more of it. He takes all the speed out of the descending ball with the slightest movement of his big toe to have it dead on his feet for the next move, and than does an akka through the legs.
That's so hard to do, the first touch is the hardest part of football and most about pure talent. Most very good highly payed technically good players need a yard to get such a high ball under control, he needs 1cm.
The akka is beyond most good players too, no matter how much they practice, it takes both super quick feet and a great velvet touch. Through the legs is seen as an humiliation not to be tolerated by defenders even in practice, so that is very hard to do too.
...but did they name him twice?
Your comparison with baseball pitch spin is true. However, what’s impressive is that when you see it a lot of the time in football, the player will be moving, the ball will be moving and there are players pushing you, running towards you etc. so to pull it off is even more impressive
best sport ever, no other sports came close
As a Czech guy, this made me subscribe to your channel. Czech moments in the video:
8:52 Crazy save by Petr Čech, one of the best goalkeepers ever.
He appeared at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and contributed to the national team beating the U.S., 3:0.
He also holds the record for the most clean sheet in the English Premier League (202 clean sheets in just 443 games).
9:13 A totally random goal by Alex Král, playing for Slavia Prague.
I think this one was from a match against the Spanish side of FC Sevilla in March 2019, the top team of the Europa League competition and Slavia managed to beat them also thanks to this lucky moment.
The Dutch Dennis Bergkamp. Also scored a few nice goals in the Dutch team. Another little fact? Dennis is afraid of flying. And his wife is of course from Spakenburg, the Netherlands.
Then Dennis Bergkamp. Played football in Italy. He drove back to the Netherlands. In BMW 850I. His in-laws are worth between €40 to €50 million. My sister and brother worked for them. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands.
Back in the first playstation era, my father only played with Netherlands in the old winning eleven game. He used to say that Bergkamp and Kluivert were absolute monsters, but i didn't had the chance to see them in action because the first WC i remember was '02 when we won for the last time.
Good childhood memories.
Heading is done usually only with the forehead. It does hurt everywhere else.
yes, but most hobby players try to avoid headers, even some professionals, because in the long run, it is not healthy for the brain.
@@djgenetic111 I have only ever been concerned about clashing heads with another player. Heading the ball a few times in a game - done properly is very unlikely to cause an issue. However doing repetitive heading training drills is not recommended and certainly not for kids.
@@drcl7429 This was already an issue for my mom when i played myself when i was a kid over 20 years ago. She had read an article in the newspaper at that time about how it can affect the brain at a young age. We stil had heading practice though in those days
Jesus Christ, you guys are soft. Here in Brazil, that's not even a subject. Seriously, I've never even heard of such a thing. Maybe that's not an issue at all, and you're all overreacting? 😂
@@andrevictorgomes actually, Brazilian players are not known for their headers. And there are many scientific studies showing that the brains of ex-professional football players look similar to ex-boxers.
The goalkeeper with the helmet is called Petr Čech retired Chelsea goalkeeper. He wore this equipment because he suffered a fractured skull after receiving an accidental knee from an opponent and to continue his career safely he adopted this protection.
Best thing about this video is how much fun you're having :D
You should watch: The beauty of football - greatest moments. The video shows the most special moments in history
this! i dont get how anyone can suggest any other football video before this. this video has it all and is a must watch.
Escape to Victory. Stallone played Keeper. If you want to see the best hat-trick EVER. Check out Ibrahimovic - Sweden vs England
Good fun to see a fellow American appreciate football. I only wish we had a comparable league here.
such a beautiful, free, individual yet collective sport. art really
Ronaldinho is the one to watch as the magician of ball control and dribbling skills. Another recommendation for ‘Ronaldinho Footballs Greatest Entertainer’
Dude, very good reactions. Short pause when you have to say something, then say something fairly smart, actually paying attention, good comments. Subsribed.
Bringin back memories from elementary school! I played goalie and in my last year I got goalie gloves. It was a huge upgrade because they're way stickier than fingers. When you're heading the ball you want clean contact with the forehead, top of the head hurts bad
What you don't get to experience just watching these snippets and highlights is the tension during full games, the sheer excitement when YOUR team scores or at least plays great football. The excitement growing during competitions like the UEFA cup or even the Fifa World cup. That's something else I can tell you.
I hope you discover more about football. So much amazing moments, the fans, everything around it.
Indeed it is not all about the goals. There are playmakers in this game (like quarterbacks in NFL) that simply elevate any team by the way they control the speed and flow of the game, distribute the right and some times impossible passes to get others in the position to score. These are the guys i like most. The Generals directing and leading their troops on the frontine, in the trenches. And when you can do both, lead, provide assists, turn games around, and score yourself when it really matter,.... then you are one of the all time greats in my book.
Ofcourse strikers get the most attention, but that doesnt per se make thel the best, or even most important player in the pitch. There are a few i could mention, and it will be a discussion of who is best, and about the era they played in etc... all that great trivial stuff 😂 we like to occupy our minds with to forget life for a while.
So here we go 😂: Kevin de Bruyne, Mr Assist, King Kev, KDB, the Ginger God of Manchester, IS the best midfielder and in my book even player in the game, and has been for years. You have the glamboys like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Mbape... ... and then you have Kevin ( and a few others like him ) just doing his thing as an introvert stacking up records year after year. An absolute genius on the pitch and a quiet family man with no fuss or drama outside work. He only make the headlines in context of his game, and i like that. No doubt he will get his life size statue outside the City stadium when he retires. I've been watching football/soccer for a long time, and i know it's a futile and useless discussion 😂, but anyway here you go. 🤘❤️🇺🇲🇧🇪🇪🇺🇬🇧
Ps: if you want to see some magic : "when football becomes art" is a series of videos that combines per player clips of their best moves, goals, .... .
The beautiful game! Nice video, glad you are enjoying the football journey. Nice video :)
Please react to Zlatan Ibhrahimovic's best goals. He's a titan and you'll love it. He's known for his unusual technical ability despite being super tall.
The first hit on the back of the head is certainly much more famous than the one shown here. In the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, German captain Uwe Seeler scored the equalizer against the English in the quarter-finals. The British lost the "Heat Battle of Leon" (100 Fahrenheit in shadow, 131 in the sun) 3:2 after they had already led 2:0. And Germany got revenge for their defeat in the 1966 final in London...
You want gaols with spins, look for Roberto Carlos kicks, some of them were really insane. He was the best at it during his time, i am not brazilian but his kicking was incredible, the movement of the ball was insane, magical.
That one touch passing by Arsenal against Norwich has to be some of sleekest pass and movement I've seen, and a great finish from Jack Wiltshire 😉😉👍
if you want to see some amazing ballcontroll you should watch futsal or freestyle football competitions. Those people have some amazing skills.
that corner move at 1:19 forward he tried to knock the ball off the defender for a corner, but it hapenstance missed the defender, and he in a split second took advantage, that is quick thinking training too i bet.
I’m not even a fan of baseball but I love Ohtani. There’s something fascinating about watching people do something well or special.
For football, I’d recommend Barcelona’s Champions League Semi-Final against Liverpool. The comeback was surreal (& I went to the final in Madrid).
You can watch the greatest comebacks of all time. You could watch videos on Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Van Basten, Paolo Maldini, Kaka (his goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Champions League in 2007 was phenomenal. They went on to beat my team Liverpool in the Champions League Final that year), David Villa (one of the best strikers of all time in my opinion - people talk about Barcelona with Suarez & Neymar but Barcelona were something else when Villa & Henry played with Messi), Kenny Dalglish, George Best, John Barnes (his goal against Brazil), Ronaldo (the original), Roy Keane & his monumental performance against Juventus.
There is so much you have yet to see & I am so jealous. With that being said, football continues to create spectacular moments. Darwin Nunez, for me personally, has been responsible for many this season. You’ve also got Jude Bellingham, a player I wanted for Liverpool, scoring screamers & winners against Barcelona for Real Madrid.
You could check funny football chants, videos on passionate fans, every major tournament final as far back as you can go. You could also watch World Cup highlights (Germany silencing Brazil in Brazil is a game I’ll remember. I remember where I was & what I was doing).
Sorry for the essay. I adore football (& not the superficiality of it but the skill & tactics of it). I like to play it too. That’s pretty much what you do here when you grow up - whether it be on a pitch or in the streets.
you touched on ball control, and you’re spot on. soccer is a very easy sport for a beginner, it’s quite straightforward, but extremely difficult to master. The sheer range of technique for various ways to control the ball, dribble, pass, and shoot the ball is insane. Add to that playing with your feet is just a less intuitive technique than with your hands, it’s incredible to watch what some players can do with a ball
You should check any “tiki taka” barcelona team or Spanish national selection 15 years ago. Don’t expect highlights, but expect total domination technically and tactically as never before.
5:04 That is the german soccer Mesut Özil but he is after the world cup not more relevant.
Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich, German national team) and Marc-André ter Stegen (FC Barcelona, German national team) are the world's best goalkeepers in the ranking of the world's best goalkeepers.
They were... now i would say Alisson Becker tops the chart.
Nobody really considers them the best GK's anymore. Many others have surpassed them.
Another good clip is Robert Lewandowski (the guy who was curving 3 balls in from behind the net) scoring 5 goals in 9 minutes. Absolutely legendary!
Please watch "memorias del futbol chapecoense"
In other videos, you mention how you like the fact that small teams can grow and make it to the top. This is the perfect example of that.
it's in Spanish but has subtitles.
this compilation clip I have never seen.. awesome footbal.
That US international team goalie was Tim Howard, he has played for Manchester United.
That was Tim Howard (US) saving all those shots against Belgium, that game made me go mad, but we won in the end. Tim Howard was an amazing keeper, he saved Everton in a lot of games.
It's the midfielders who control the tempo of the game, and create the goal scoring opportunities.
Spain has produced many classy midfielders, such as Iniesta and Xavi.
Shoutout to the goalkeepers. The (almost) unsung heroes of the pitch.
These guys can do this, next game have a tremendous bad decision and their career will shake.
Fortunately, since some years to this part, GK's are getting attention (for the good exhibitions).
“I mean, maybe this guy is really good” 😂oh how I lol’d
I like you guy so much. I am from Germany, so i dont know my english is correct all time. Give me more in this Channel. I hope i can make holiday with my family in USA in the next years and meet nice guys like you. Ohh and not kind like the Nice Guys from the Movie😁
From a Englishman, your English is more than ok mate!
THX☺@@Baptist7203
Have you seen spinners ( Bowlers ) in Cricket like a pitcher in Baseball. The movement they can get from a cricket ball is unreal .
Loved this video! You should react to the beauty of football, includes titles for clips to show how significant some of the moments are
Hat off to u for exploring.
Next: Handball. I'm gonna laugh my arse off!
the toe of his boot it textured so you can use it like the tip of a snooker cue, hahahaha.
Check out the scorpion kick video, the goalie that kicked out the ball with both heels.
Look into more highlights videos, like Erling Haaland and Diego Maradona.
Like Romario(MatigolVidz) and Zico (futbol nacional)
Crazy Columbian René Higuita, aka "El Loco".
@@thkempe
Thank you!
I couldn't remember the name or nationality, but as soon as I saw your reply I remembered.
Speaking of ball control, Ibra has a famous quote (one of many): "Det Carew gör med en fotboll gör jag med en apelsin" - translated "what Carew does with a fotball, I do with an orange". This was his response back when Zlatan was criticised for his moves by the Norweigan striker John Carew.
The American GoalKeeper was a very famous player who played in the premier league. Tim Howard is his name. He has retired since but he wqs a great player. Definitely one the best America has produced.
It helps to compare kicking a football/soccer ball to a golf stroke. For example, a player can create bend from left to right or right to left (in golf, a fade/slice or a draw/hook), depending on the angle at which he strikes the ball, or the part of his foot with which he strikes it.
Certain players are exceptionally good at it. No surprise, Messi is amongst the best at it. David Beckham was exceptional at it in his day - hence the film, "Bend it Like Beckham". A Japanese player named Sunsuke Nakamura (played for my club, Celtic FC) was another phenomenally talented bender of free kicks.
Pierre Van Hooijdonk must be the best free kick taker ive ever seen play. That 2002 Uefa Cup season he scored some amazing free kicks but also in the national League he scored frequently
love this guys energy watched 2 videos ez sub
Love these videos ! You should react to "The beauty of football - Greatest moments", in this video there's also a little explanation of what's happening under each clip
In the previous video on the formations and rules you said/got the impression that "full court press" and "quick counters" don't really happen. I'd recommend checking out the first as lightning counter attacks video by the Premier League TH-cam channel
I came across your first football video and now im navigating and i couldn’t wait for you to react to games ! Some people say football is the n1 sport in the world because humans can’t wrap their head around the fact that they do this shit with their feet. This is the only sport in which feet are the precision tool, not just here for balance and stuff !
Paris Dakar 1988 almost winning with a Semi. Jan de rooy. The hardest rally in the world. Driving faster then the world champion Ari Vatanen of Rally.
"This is football" "Ronaldhino footballs greatest entertainer" the 2 best complications ever. First one are many special moments in history and showing alot of the greatest legends. The second is about a player that put joy in billions of people because of the way he played. If you enjoy ball control you have to watch him.
I prefer Romario by MatigolVidz and Zico by futbol nacional.
And Matt le Tissier by HeilRJ RJ
And Adriano the fallen emperor by HeilRJ.
I’d say those 4 are all better than the Ronaldinho one you quoted.
Baggio by MatigolVidz too.
@Kuru: ...and the 2nd best Ronaldo, R9 being the best!
You should watch Kevin de bruine from belgium. Best assist player of the last 5 years
💯👍
Vini entered the chat
Watching a live Football game is a whole different level compared to major league games. I’ve been to major league baseball, basketball, and hockey games and they are subdued compare to Football. Fans are nuts. In England, a lot of pubs won’t let patrons in that are wearing jerseys. Can’t imagine that here.
The previous Football video doesn’t even get into national games which are also played during league games. You have regional cups and World Cup qualifying games. Some players will miss league games to go to these national games.
World Cup is coming to NA so definitely a good time to get into Football. It’s a hella fun sport to watch
"Thats like Wizardry"
Your getting it bro 😂❤️
:))) ... mate ... i`ve watched your reviews about EU football, all of the reviews, ... this was so fun to see your expressions and so on .. nice vods ... ! P.S.: i`m from europe ..
My dad was a football player and at 30 during one game, a guy stepped on his leg and broke his foot. imagine the pain after your leg is broken with those special shoes. Luckily, he went to the best hospital in the country and got some screws in the knee. Stayed home with his leg in cast for like 6 mo and since then he just plays for fun. He tried to coach for a while but the management was bad af.
Maybe this guy's really good. This man knows talent, ronaldinho is crazy
The balls now are super light. In the old days tho that thing was like a leather rock. Dementia from heading the ball is a big thing now.
When the ball spin in the air its not the same kind of resistance ! Ground make it move so much more ! In fact i have no baseball background but i guess when you spin the ball its affecting not only the trajectory but the way it bounce on the bat !
Heading the ball is a skill. For starters, neck work is necessary to add same acceleration to your head. This changes the amount and vector of kinetic energy, without it you get full hit. You want to nudge the ball in a different direction while preserving it's momentum. If momentum hits you it hurts. You never want to be static object absorbing full force at perpendicular angle.
maybe this guy is really good😂😂😂ronaldinho! the goat😂
This is why fútbol is the most beatiful game
i have played a lot in school and with friends but i wasnt good either but im pretty fit now and when i get a ball and try some juggling or tricks im much butter now then back in school and i havent trained a second for it
Not often we get to see the top of year head chief😂 keep at the football, there's some great compilations to react to
3:43 this clip is an example of what a thunderbolt looks like.
It must be clear to everyone that US football/handball will never become popular in the rest of the world, who wants to watch 3.5 hours of advertising and half an hour of games when you can watch real football
Agree, i tried two times to watch american football.
2 superbowl final.
The most boring sport I ever watched by far
@@TheTonyAUG Yes, and the beer is thin and tastes like piss
You need to watch Sweden vs England when Zlatan made 4 goals, and the final one is maybe the most crazy one ever made.
You should check some argentinians.
The century goal and if you want some old school, look for some Kempes highlights.
Basically the way headers are:
Don’t even think about the pain, just head it because it’s probably going to help either defending or attacking, (particularly when defending). Afterwards, it hurts like hell and can easily give concussions, but the game is still going on so you don’t have time to think about the pain basically😅
“Let me scoop that out of mid air and throw it right in the goal with my foot” 🤣 American for “volley” or “kick”
Lewandowski, the guy in the red shirt ''behind'' the goal, or the line. That is something many master as a kid. Ofc, not as good, but meaning they start early. You should understand how good kids are, at least the best, and then relate that to the best adults. It just emphasises how good they are. Football can look simple, but you need to be very good for it to look so.
@iwrocker that goalie was the all time best goalie in the name of USA football. He and Landon Donovan are the biggest names.
The one in 7:50, the ball curves TWICE. Right after leave the kicker's foot, it curves right. And upon approaching the defender's head, it curves left.
In theory, this can be achieved by applying two rotations on different axle. This makes the drive/primary rotation (vertical axle, rotating from right, front, left, back sides) curved the ball to the right initially.
The second, weaker, rotation (horizontal front-back axle, rotating from left, up, right, down sides), will eventually turn the ball upside down, which will cause the primary rotation reversed (now rotating left, front, right, back sides), hence it curved right at the end.
Since, you play baseball and know about relation between rotation and curves trajectory, I'm sure you can imagine it in your head 🙂
You should look up "George Best at his best". He played for Manchester United for club football and Northern Ireland internationally. That video is from 50 years ago.
goalies are so unapreciated…i did goalie a few times and its sooo much responsibility and the rush is amazing, but also if you get pounded so often its depressing…😂
2:57 karma for trying to kick it in softly lol
Also at 3:15 you can see the striped player tackled his OWN goalie and the goalie still managed to stop the ball, amazing
2:02
It actually spins that much because it hits the foot of the defender though
Someone show this guy some prime Wenger ball. 🔴⚪️
Your hooked 😂
Check Guy Ritchie’s (the director of Gentlemen, Snatch etc.) Nike commercial. It kinda represents fps of a footballer starting from amateur level to world class. Starring lots of famous football players.
PS: and watch Ted Lasso 😅
Watch ''Football skills that should be illegal" it will blow your mind
