The Dutch boy went on to have a bright career with a nice house and beautiful family, unfortunately life went the other way for the Italian as he couldn't deal with the defeat, life was very challenging

[@ollyf5088]

I’m sure he’s delighted that it’s available on here for posterity 🤣

[@vasilislehos]

After subbuteo I'm afraid that they continue playing fifa

[@AkwasiProductions]

Many such cases

[@RichBaggio]

My brother and I had our subbuteo confiscated by our dad because of incidents like this.

[@eddt430]

😂😂 We used to play subbuteo in my loft as a kid. Two of my mates had a massive fight over a controversial goal. Madness but brilliant days. I remember watching this on channel 4. I've still got it in a box somewhere on VHS.

[@andygarrod5611]

The most controversial incident since the Blow Football World Cup of '82 when the West German and Austrian blowers played out a 0-0 draw to ensure both qualified for the quarter finals.

[@braudabo]

It was a 1:0 for Germany.

[@YakobtoshiNakamoto]

They’re not booing they’re saying “Boo-urns”

[@tomr6955]

I was saying boo urns

[@WillzxrpYT]

simpsons reference?

[@1flinns]

Get VAR in to sort out the mess.

[@alisterschembri8831]

We’ve been through a lot of fights during an almost 28 years of subbuteo leagues. I have witnessed a whole team thrown in adjacent fields, trampling on subbuteo figures, fistful guys, gypsum boards knocked down ..... the bonnet of my brand new car also tested the anger levels when conceding that last minute equalizer or winning goal ....

[@ollyf5088]

Do you get many ginger Italians?

[@bradsibley9512]

Sure he's Italian, looks more Scottish 🤣

[@lukevonpuke]

🤣Haha! He looks like he'd burn under a 40w bulb... wouldn't last 5 minutes in the Med.

[@motherflange]

Bonnie Prince Charlie.

[@potatokaiyote]

This is the most European thing ive seen in a long time.

[@jamiebuckton1714]

Fuck sake - Imagine having a push & shove over Subbuteo. Sad.

[@MrTamiya89]

This Was Before THE FIFA VIDEO GAME RAGE'S. 🤦‍♂️👎.

[@giorgiosimoneschi5319]

hai offeso l'italia,il subbuteo con il tuo comportamento,vergognoso...meglio che hai perso

[@grimson]

All involved look back on the time they spent playing Subbuteo with regret.

[@LdevArt]

shut up bigot. nobody regrets soending time playing subbuteo-quite the opposite

[@Liasos88]

0:23 If that was real football the dutch boy would've jumped backwards and rolled around on the ground.

[@theodoresofokleous]

Unfortunately esports have dominate the industry of football and the lovely game of subbuteo has extinguish

[@christiankane5802]

I will learn and become the best

[@scamarruti]

Gagliardi VERGOGNOSO !

[@vasilislehos]

subbuteo used to be a top game for kids

[@theodoresofokleous]

Yes @vasilislehos unfortunately it is not anymore

[@electricfootballhero1349]

I'm not well-versed in European Football rules, much less Subbuteo rules, but does anyone know exactly what Italy was so upset about? Was he just not used to anyone being as good at the game as him? Or was there some sort of procedural slight that only he could see?

[@maxm17]

I think he thought he'd saved the goal maybe

[@j.burgess4459]

I also know little about this game. But it seems to me that the Italian kid was one just of those people (generally know as a$$holes) who whine and complain and get nasty if somebody outdoes them and things don't go their way...

[@rdc2724]

@@j.burgess4459 He had just learned that his planned lesson 'how to cope with disappointments' was cancelled for the fifth time.

[@bertrandd.5611]

Is it for real or just a comedy?

[@christianmichetti6483]

Sinceramente sto godendo per la sconfitta dell italia. Con un rappresentante del genere...

[@saulomoreno6482]

At last Holland has a world cup

[@AndysNewsandDocumentaries]

Surprised the Dutch boy didn't spit in the hair of the Italian.

[@jerrybuckley8893]

Haha who else was hoping the red head was the Italian one?

[@thekravika5258]

The Italian guy prob had backed the Dutch guy to win

[@alisterschembri8831]

Even my son is a furious look alike, he’s just fisted his anger on my bloody new Peugeot’s bonnet as soon as he suffered a last minute goal and drew the game against another chap!

[@MRM-u6y]

So there are actually rules to subbuteo!

[@Howt-ooo]

Sort. Your. Self. Out.

[@hymenrothstein]

The groupies are amazing

[@markusglaubit898]

Mann sollte verlieren können. Is ne wichtige Erfahrung im Leben.

[@DannyBoy777777]

A ginger Italian !!! There's a first.

[@DREWVIX1992]

Good for the dutch boy

[@bluehorizon5149]
