Clearly,Radja Nainggolan could have represented the Indonesian national team when I saw his wikipedia and credit to you for finally answering his daily request of the same topic,good friend Alfie Potts Harmer!!!🏋️♂️
@@MrBlazemaster525 You are extremely so right but I just could not believe that Indonesian Football Federation is being corrupt for not getting a look at not only him,but for the other respective player which good friend Alfie listed,good friend!!!🏋♂️
I used to date an indo lady with the name "Nainggolan" as part of her full name. So I just ask her, is she related to Radja Nainggolan without expecting anything. And to my surprise, she said yes. She even show me a family pic of him taken together during one of his visit to Indonesia. I was mind-blown.
as someone from indonesian batak descendant, in indonesian batak society (well, i use the word society instead of tribe), every people with the same surname can be related at some point. so yes, like you said, the lady you dated, which have the name nainggolan as her surname, can be related to radja nainggolan at some point. and we batak descendant somewhat must understand our family tree from who we descend. and every batak person with a same surname can't marry each other cuz that will be considered incest.

Alfie, please have the “best player from every nation” series make a comeback before the first WCQ match is played (I believe it’s an AFC match in September or October). I’d love to see such videos every 4 years between WC journeys.
As a fan, well done to the indonesian sub for his persistent and finally got his video. As a Singapore football fan I fear for my national team looking at how strong Indonesia team can be.
tbf you lot also have 2 players in the english league, perry ng and luke o nien, but aren't playing for singapore thanks to singaporean citizenship laws
Boleh. We need to sort out our NS issue. Our players being pushed out. Nevertheless, the Fandi's all did it! Bro you should reach the away AFF tour. Red is my blood. White is my soul.
Mate, this formation is legendary in Indonesia tho. 2 wingbacks are very common in Indonesia during 90-00s. With Erol FX Iba, Ismed Sofyan,Isnan Ali, Alexander Pulalo, Aji Santoso and many more! So your formation made a lot of sense! This 352 adaptation is what I grew up watching! Kudos Mate
As an Indonesian, I'm not expecting this lmao. Just some suggestions: I'd pick Pattynama/Oosterwelde (LWB), Tijjani Reijnders (CM) instead of Fettouhi. There are a whole lot options at RWB: from Matt Doherty, Kenny Tete, Joel Veltmann, Sandy Walsh and Kevin Diks. and for ST, no clue honestly xD
Also, he clearly wants to pad his personal statistics and with Portugal having much better options than him, playing for Indonesia against teams like Tahiti (twice this March) would mean he could inflate those stats even further, just like he does in the Saudi league.
@@DrZaius3141 shut your bum ass up. How are you a person with a somewhat functioning brain able to make statements like this. Don’t you have anything better to do. Tired of seeing comments from Messi and cr7 fanboys
I got one substitute for you Alfie. 24 year old Shayne Pattynama which just officially acquired Indonesian citizenship. He plays for the Norwegian Eliteserien club Viking FK as a left-back, played 42 matches to this day, being one of the Viking FK best players. He was an important player on the pitch when Viking managed to knock out Slavia Praha in the Conference league qualifying match. they later in the last met FCSB in the last play-off round which they lost 3-4 on aggregate.
Next request: The story of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. Really that would make for an interesting HITC Sevens. Quite a touching and beautiful story.
There have been a lot of good Dutch players with Indonesian heritage, but right now is a bit of dry spell. Around the 2010 World Cup you could have included van Bronckhorst, Heitinga, De Jong, Landzaat, Makaay and van Persie in this XI.
Congratulations to your beloved Hull City for a shock 2-0 home victory to move to thirteenth position with forty five points,good friend Alfie Potts Harmer!!!🏋️♂️
a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now. The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore. How they were very close to moving to ireland How they went up the English football leagues. It would be a good documentary video if you can do this. #thepeopleschannel
Fun Fact: The reason why there are a lot of people with Indonesian ancestry in Netherlands is because during the end of their time in Indonesia, they give an order that basically stated that all people with dutch blood/ancestry must go back to Netherlands or they will get executed if they refuse to do so. Even tho, there are still those who still somehow stay at Indonesia.(That's also the reason why a lot of Indonesian don't have dutch blood/ancestry).
No, after Indonesia independence 1945 there is mixed blood indo People from dutch-indonesian. Mostly because education, working, change nationalism,etc.
Congratulations my Indonesian neighbours! Would be interesting to hear about Singaporean players but it definitely won't be very interesting. Alfie is such a legend, keep up the great work!
Alfie really put himself as the peoples voice, especially for Indonesians. Four your info, Driss Fettouhi doesn't have any relations to Indonesia whatsoever. The only reason he included here is because he got fake passport.
Indonesia will be a decent team in the future. They have the blueprint. They have great football history and now football became globalised, more inspiration for next generation and what Morocco did in the WC will make people of Indonesian heritage consider playing for NT. Realistically the next step is for their domestic teams to have a strong presence in ACL.
That wont happen until they allow double nationality, at least for sports players. I guess at least half of this 11 would like to represent Indonesia right now, but don't want to give up their European nationaities to do so.
I don't mean to be snobbish about it, but there are quite a few retired Dutch internationals you could have chosen for this lineup. Wilfred Bouma, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Denny Landzaat, Nigel De Jong, Michael Mols, and Roy Makaay, could have all made it here to fill in for positions you mentioned to have struggled with to find prospects.
Didnt know audero was half indonesian why I love these videos. He’s having a great season shame sampdoria getting relegated. As for Radja what a beast he was
the audero case was actually pretty popular here, infamously his father which is an indonesian once said "hes better off trying to become part of italy's national team rather than being part os indonesia's national team" and honestly, his dad has a point, our national team at the moment is hopeless
@@Ninja-gt3zi To be fair, I'm somewhat content about the current goalkeeper we have or, rather, it's not really the sector to improve - what we are lacking actually is striker (smh), that's it. This kind of natural predator striker has been gone since Boaz Solossa.
@@Ninja-gt3zi i remember reading about how the top 5 leagues only allowed players from the 100 top fifa ranking nations to play there, so if audero are to choose indonesia he would have to let go of serie a football
I don’t know if this would work as a video, but one question I’ve wondered about recently is in what language do they speak at clubs in European leagues? Do they mostly have team talks in English at clubs in smaller countries like Slovenia or Lithuania, or even Europe’s bigger countries like Germany or France, where clubs may have lots of international players and not that many native players? Do they always have the local language but also an English language interpreter? Just something I’d be interested to know
I'd like to see Alfie do a documentary of the floodlight friendlies of the 1950s and how Wolverhampton Wanderers created what Is now known as the champions league
10:30 Also of interest, and possible the reason why he changed allegiance, is that Jordi Amat also became Prince of Siau (one of the islands) and is in line to the throne there. Not necessarily any political power as the monarchy do not carry much sway, but I’m sure there’s a palace or something in it for him. Wasn’t essential to mention this in your documentary but your viewers may have enjoyed it nonetheless :-)
his dad made a good point imo, our national team is fucking hopeless, he had a better chance going onto the italian national team and made it through the world cup than here in indonesia's national team and doing the same.
@@richie_0740 Yeah, I was combining two things in my head. You are correct, it's not been 10 years yet - but it will be 10 years soon. I do feel it's unfair of you dunking on Indonesia for not qualifying for the Euros...
@@DrZaius3141 but its true, internationally were terrible, never won an afc cup, been talking tons about developtment for years but no real progress, and a botched league that was barely good enough for a tier two asian champions league
Lmao I'm Indonesian and never would've thought this video would ever be made so props to you! And Ezra Walian has been very-very bad. It would've been better if you put Nainggolan at striker and have Ipswich's Elkan Baggott in the team somewhere.
Arzhi was a staple of the comment section, although my personal favourite is that Dennis guy who tries to correct Alfie's pronunciations on every video.
Can you do a documentary about Boavista FC? One of only two clubs in Portugal who broke the hegemony of the Big Three in Portugal and were crowned champions in 2001. Played the likes of Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the UCL and reached the UEFA Cup semifinal in 2003. They were relegated in 2008 and only came back to top flight in 2014, following many years of judicial cases and financial crisis.
Appreciate that you hear your commentors out, but there's a small part of me that wishes you could shoutout these people without the comments section for the next few videos being absolutely flooded with these instead of discussion.

Been a bit ill, so I've missed a few days but: I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right? This is day 6 of the streak. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 468) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Now is this a good or a bad sign for this video idea ... I mean, this has more days and constantly gets more likes than the idea that was actually posted today.
@@zubatterrorincarnate3206 Alfie said he developed a fascination with Indonesia in the wake of his Indonesia league video so that played a part in finally picking that guy's request.
I laughed when I saw the title having seen so many comments. I'm not even going to watch the video until a little later on but had to watch the introduction
How about doing a what if country National Football Team??? i always wonder, if Maphilindo exist, what their National Team would be??? i know it's different with USSR or Scandinavian video that you did, but it still interesting to look at
Can you do a video on the Mexican Federation, their corruption, the way a team can fold and come back as a "new club" to avoid relegation in the Liga MX?
You can add Giovanni Van Bronckhorst as the manager for this team. Gio was never shy to acknowledge his Indonesian heritage (Moluccan/Maluku). I also agree that unfortunately there are no eligible good strikers for this team.
Sandy Walsh being eligible for Somalia and South Africa seems to be something that ended up on Wikipedia (and other places quoting Wikipedia) despite the cited source never actually saying that. Perhaps it's true anyway, but I haven't found any other independent source verifying it. He may only be eligible to represent a paltry six national teams.
When the world needed him the most, he drops this gem upon us, the people's channel indeed, for the half millions (and half millions) of Alfie's fans

@@DrZaius3141 but its true, internationally were terrible, never won an afc cup, been talking tons about developtment for years but no real progress, and a botched league that was barely good enough for a tier two asian champions league
What could have been Philippines 11 should be interesting too. Alaba, Areola, among others.
their 85% of their current national team is filled with mixed players lol
@@dzakiaqillah1870 The new generation of their national team is parade by home grown players
Lmao I'm Indonesian and never would've thought this video would ever be made so props to you! And Ezra Walian has been very-very bad. It would've been better if you put Nainggolan at striker and have Ipswich's Elkan Baggott in the team somewhere.
Ezra has been wank but if he gets a move outside Indonesia there's hope
That formation use to be on the old championship manager 02/03 amd early football managers stated as a 5-4-1 Diamond
Arzhi was a staple of the comment section, although my personal favourite is that Dennis guy who tries to correct Alfie's pronunciations on every video.
*alf-ee not “alfie”
*pro-nunsiayshun not “pronunciation”
*vi-deo not “video”
There ya go I helped u out since Dinis hasn’t corrected ur comment yet
Can you do a documentary about Boavista FC? One of only two clubs in Portugal who broke the hegemony of the Big Three in Portugal and were crowned champions in 2001. Played the likes of Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the UCL and reached the UEFA Cup semifinal in 2003. They were relegated in 2008 and only came back to top flight in 2014, following many years of judicial cases and financial crisis.
Top7 best leagues in Africa. We NEED it next
Props to you for doing it, Alfie 👏
Appreciate that you hear your commentors out, but there's a small part of me that wishes you could shoutout these people without the comments section for the next few videos being absolutely flooded with these instead of discussion.
I'm surprised Kenny Tete doesn't make the list
Luongo is currently at my team ipswich hes only started once so far and he was absolutely class love him
He is friend of elkan baggott now 😂😅
that kid who keeps on typing "keep dreaming bocah" is just as consistent lmao
I can't believe you finally did it. It's like TH-cam has just completed itself. Incredible
Day 1
Dream OFC XI all the OFC teams played as one nation in international Football
I swear Joel Veltman has some kind of Indonesian Ancestry could have solved some of the problems in the wingback areas
His great-grandmother was Indonesian but that is too distant a relative for him to be eligible for any Indonesian call-ups
@@Partiallygore yeah I guess but it would have been cool to have it mentioned (probably cuz I'm a Brighton fan lol).
@Mattybaby Maybe, but it's not really relevant to include any potentials to an already hypothetical list.
Shoupdve been Matt Doherty since Joel cant lol

Day 1: Malaysia XI If All Eligible Players Declared For Them
This one was very regularly requested. Persistence pays off.
Whoever kept on recommending this subject congratulations your persistence finally paid off
Been a bit ill, so I've missed a few days but:
I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right?
This is day 6 of the streak. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]
HITC is officially the channel of the people
The people's channel indeed. We salute you Alfie
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 468)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Don’t give up, he’ll do it eventually
Now he has to
Now is this a good or a bad sign for this video idea ... I mean, this has more days and constantly gets more likes than the idea that was actually posted today.
It's only a matter of time!!
@@zubatterrorincarnate3206 Alfie said he developed a fascination with Indonesia in the wake of his Indonesia league video so that played a part in finally picking that guy's request.
I laughed when I saw the title having seen so many comments. I'm not even going to watch the video until a little later on but had to watch the introduction
With this formation, the chance of beating Vietnam looks brighter than ever!
How about doing a what if country National Football Team???
i always wonder, if Maphilindo exist, what their National Team would be???
i know it's different with USSR or Scandinavian video that you did, but it still interesting to look at
Can you do a video on the Mexican Federation, their corruption, the way a team can fold and come back as a "new club" to avoid relegation in the Liga MX?
Similar to Suriname XI. Please do a possible Guadeloupe XI there are so many players
You can add Giovanni Van Bronckhorst as the manager for this team. Gio was never shy to acknowledge his Indonesian heritage (Moluccan/Maluku). I also agree that unfortunately there are no eligible good strikers for this team.
I've heard robin van persie have indonesian bloodline from his maternal side
I came here to say Gio, I’m surprised he didn’t get a mention!
Please can you make video about 1994 Malaysia match fixing scandal that gutted the national football that they never recovered from??
Video Idea:
What happened to Sweepers in association football?
Didn't they all become CDMs?
@@MrBlazemaster525 Not sure.
I only have a passing interest in the "Beautiful Game."
Do a Antartica if all eligble penguins played for them
Sandy Walsh being eligible for Somalia and South Africa seems to be something that ended up on Wikipedia (and other places quoting Wikipedia) despite the cited source never actually saying that. Perhaps it's true anyway, but I haven't found any other independent source verifying it. He may only be eligible to represent a paltry six national teams.
LETS FUCKING GO HE ACTUALLY DID IT
Finally after 4+ years of subscribing this channel you finally made it
