7 best football teams without the Nike or Adidas brand on the shirt

Can you do the opposite (smallest cities with surprisingly big teams)

7 small citys in europe with a top flight team

The German city of Essen should have been included. Nearly 600 000 residents but the best club of the city only plays in 4th tier.

As we all know that hakim Ziyech has had a pre arranged transfer to Chelsea,so can you make a video on the seven best pre arranged transfers?

That one kid that says,” London”

For 5 months in a year, Brazilian teams play the state championships, which hindered the devolopment of big teams in Brasília. A lot of small clubs were created, but none became even a local force, since the nearby teams from Goiânia historically fare much better in the national scenario. Gama played in Série A from 1999 to 2002, causing a turmoil when they contested successfully their relegation in 1999. Brasiliense played the Série A in 2006, but became famous for reaching the Copa do Brasil finals in 2002. Gama did put over 30 K spectators in Mané Garrincha back in 98 in the final match of Série B, showing there is unexploited potential in Brasília for football.

7 national teams that currently play the fewest homegrown players.

As a Brazilian I can say that the Brasília best team , Brasiliense, had everything to challenge the big teams in Brazil to win titles,the problem is that during the years they suffered with poor administration and now they apear in the Série D , the 4th tier of Brazilian football,but they played the Série A about 18 years ago

Hertha Berlin is actually trying to become a "big city club" right now through their new investor, but all they've done is buying expensive players and sliding down the league table so far

ADO Den Haag: one of the biggest cities in the netherlands and is in the relegation zone of the eredivisie

In the case of Spain, there's also the case of Murcia. One of the 10 biggest cities in the country but its team plays in the third division since God knows when

Last time I was this early, Red Bull Salzburg were still SV Austria Salzburg

Bristol needs a mention. We always been shit at football. Least Leeds have had there years..

I also include Cordoba, the second largest city in Argentina, the best team is Talleres and they never won a first division title

Hamburg! We are rubbish and have been rubbish for the last decade! Hamburg is the 2nd largest city in Germany and its two major clubs are in the 2. Bundesliga.

Thank you for making football content during this time You

Day 10 asking Alfie for the All Time Antartica XI. Wow, 10 days guise! Feels like I started yesterday.

Last time I was this early, Lyon wasn’t even competing in Ligue 1 😂

Plymouth and Bristol in England have massively under performed, much more so than Leeds

Make a video about the season when juventus was relegated.

The thing about Brasilia is that in the early days it didn't have quite an "identity" as a city, which is one of the main driving forces behind forming a football club. It was a planned city, occupied initially by politicians and their staffs, and the workers, especially from the Brasilian Northeast (called Candangos). And at that time, with the influence of Rio's media (on the radio, then on TV), Rio de Janeiro's teams, especially Flamengo and Vasco, are very popular there. The city began to find its roots in the 80s, when a generation had alerady been developed, bit it had reflected more on a rock bands movement than on football. But Gama, a team from Brasília, have played on our first division in the late 90s, and still have a relatively moderate fanbase, and the underdog Brasiliense, from a city in the region of Brasilia (Taguatinga) have played one top-tier season in 2005 and won the Brasilian Cup once.

This is one of the most interesting videos you’ve ever made. Just seeing it now, but I love this video!!

You could probably do another entirely separate 20 minute video on why Berlin isn't a football powerhouse

La Liga Top Scorers (not including Messi or Ronaldo) where are they now?

A video of the Best German XI without any Bayern Munich player or Italy’s greatest XI without any Turin and Milan based players

For England I'm frankly surprised you've chosen Leeds. In their history they've won just about everything and just gone through a rocky patch these last few decades. Bristol would have been the city I would have chosen to put in this list. (PS I do like the city of Bristol even though I've only been there once).

You can thank East Germany for the reason why Berlin doesn't have a good football team.

Spot on about Brasilia... That theyve failed to create a competitive team, but the explanation for that is excactly what you mentioned previously. Just about everybody in Brasilia support one of the big 12 clubs (all have stores and bars in the capital) , it pretty much comes down to the fact that people from all over the country poured into Brasilia from 1960 on, and most support whichever region their parents or now grand parents originated from, if their original region is not a football hotspot most will support more midiatic teams notably Flamengo, but also my beloved Vasco as well as Palmeiras, Corinthians and Sao Paulo. For places like Manaus (which should also be on your list, because diffrent than Brasilia its a huge city with much more history) to not even garner local support- no even mid sized clubs that dont have the success but have the local support (like Belem with Paysandu and Remo), as well most prefer to support Fla, Vasco, SP, Palmeiras, Coritnhians.... The other 7 big clubs have predominantly their supporters in their home states.. it is very rare for non Mineiros or Mineiro descendants to support Atletico or Cruzeiro, the same goes for Gauchos with Gremio and Internacional. With Botafogo, Fluminense and Santos they do have some support outside Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo states, but considerably less than Flamengo, Vasco, Palmeiras, Corinthians and Sao Paulo. Also worthy to note down that some of the big 12 games are transferred to Brasilia. On the other hand Brasilia was able to create a competitive basketball team at national level that has spurred local support.

Berlin at least has a kind of reason: for long decades it was virtually two cities: East Berlin and West Berlin. East Berlin - the capital of the communist German Democratic Repiblic - did have good top flight football teams, most prominently Dynamo Berlin - while West Berlin was a much less significant city than the unified Berlin was and is, basically an enclave within the GDR. The decades since the re-unification of Germany apparently wasn't enough to produce a strong top tier team - although Hertha did have a rather strong spell... (Also, while I understand your one city per nation policy, I think Hamburg would have deserved an honorable mention - it is larger than most of the cities on the list, and currently neither Hamuburger SV nor St. Pauli plays in Bundesliga 1. Same about Stuttgart.)

Zaragoza is the 5th biggest city in Spain not the 10th. And although the club is currently in the second division (2nd place 1 point away from 1st) they are one of the most historical, successful and laureated clubs in Spanish history.

For the USA I would have said Phoenix, San Diego, or Detroit. San Jose is the San Francisco Bay Area so I would count them as a San Francisco team

Ukraine: Mykolaiv. There are some mid-level lower league teams from this city, but they never used to be really good, though one used to play in top flight around 25 years ago. 6:00 I never understood why Brasillia, a city with a good population size, is so underrated in every single way. Even not considering Rio and SP. 6:47 You caught my mind about underrated capitals! I never understood why Instambul is dominating in Turkish sports in all ways. Ankara has Gencherberligi and Ankaragucu in top flight, but they are mid-level (I hope I won't insult Turkish fans)... Biorn has Young Boys at least...

Great video again :) Another fun option is Auckland. Auckland is a city of 1.6M people with a highly successful team in the top flight of NZ football, but the only professional team in NZ is in Wellington (the Phoenix) which has a population about 25% the size of Auckland's. The Wellington Phoenix play in the Australian A-League. The NZ Knights used to be an Auckland based A-League team but no longer exist, thus the creation of the Wellington Phoenix.

7 best throw in takers. Long throw trait is the best on FIFA.

I miss Palermo :(. Those pink kits... perfection.

Gosh darn it, even in this seven, my long-suffering Bantams can't beat bloomin' Leeds! In all seriousness though, great video Alfie. Loving the content.

7 cities overloaded with big football clubs \ man successful football clubs

If you ever do a part 2 you can consider Thessaloniki in Greece. The second biggest city in the country with just 6 super league wins between the 2 most popular teams of the city

Well, we are small country. But maybe you could mention Brno. It's second biggest city in Czechia and has about 400k inhabitants.However Brno doesn't have top-flight team. Just FYI. 😁

Palermo played EL qualifying for the group stage some years ago (going by memory, not sure). In the last decade supporters could admire the various players such as Dybala, Ilicic, Cavani, Miccoli, Belotti, Sirigu, Gilk, Emerson Palmieri, Amauri, Abel Hernandez and many others at Renzo Barbera stadium - I wouldn’t agree in stating they did that bad imo

Thanks for FM20 Ideas now gonna manager Berlin

Hey Alfie! Could u make a video about mental health in football? Just read the biography about Robert Enke and would like to know if and how players, fans, staff and media were learning in the last 10 years after he passed away. Keep up the awesome content and stay healthy, greeeetz from Hannover

Bristol is a bigger city then most premier league cities. Always amazed me that they don’t have a top flight team.

Toulouse in france should be included, its the 4th largest city in france and its team is dead last of the ligue 1

Video Idea: Germanys 2014 worldcup squad, where are they now?

Have you ever done a video on 7 clubs with unique traditions that are really interesting or cool? If not, I would like to see a video on that.

Great video, keep it up! 👍🏻

Dublin in Ireland needs a big football team. They have Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne, UCD and St Patrick's Athletic but despite having good history, none are good enough to compete in Europe. Dublin is the capital of Ireland and has a population of about 1 million people. Football/Soccer is the second biggest sport behind GAA in Ireland. A new team or a revamp of one of the others would be great to see. The same maybe for other places in Ireland such as Cork, Galway and Limerick. The SSE Airtricity League in Ireland is dominated really by Dundalk, Shamrock Rovers and about 3 years ago, Cork City. None of these team would be any good in Europe. Maybe one day someone rich will see the potential in Irish football/soccer and invest in one of the teams.

Surely Sheffield should be ahead of Leeds? The city where the modern game was founded and yet until recently has been largely absent from the top tier with two underperforming clubs

Do the same seven for countries please. Love your videos btw.

Seeing Leeds pop up gave a good little giggle, keep up the good content 👍🏼

Even though I'm living in Berlin, I had to look up the supposed titel Hertha won in 2002. It was the German League Cup. Now, I know that the League Cup is somewhat important in England. The German League Cup isn't, though. Or rather: It wasn't. Because it's been discontinued since 2007, after only being installed in 1997. No one takes it seriously, and it was completely insignificant while it lastet. Apart from their three titles in the 2nd Bundesliga (1990, 2011, 2013), their only real titles were the German championships in 1930 and 1931. That said, Berlin isn't really a football city at all. 1. FC Union may change that, but they like their role as an underdog. For them, every season in the 1st Bundesliga is a huge success. Hertha, on the other hand... well, nobody really cares about Hertha. They've been overpromising and underachieving as long as I can remember. And that's pretty much all you can say about them. Compare Berlin to other German cities like Dortmund, Kaiserslautern, Bremen, Karlsruhe, Braunschweig... It just doesn't feel the same. Even though some of these clubs haven't achieved anything noteworthy in decades, they're seriously important to their city, and the whole region. You will find no shortage of pubs broadcasting all kinds of football matches in those cities. In Berlin, however, I was struggling to find a pub that would show the match between Germany and France in the recent Euros. When I found one, there were almost as many French fans as Germans. You rarely see fans in their club's gear in the city, you'll never hear people talking about yesterday's match while commuting. Maybe it's a bit different in Köpenick (the southeastern district on the outskirts of the city where Union is located), but in general, Berlin just doesn't have a football culture.

Can you make a video on the journey of a club (formation to top flight)

In Spain, I'd add Málaga and Alicante, Málaga did make it to the Champions League in 2012 but are now mid table in the second division and in the case of Alicante, their main team, Hércules fc, have been in the top level many times (although since the 90s they have been mostly in lower divisions) but I don't know if they qualified for a European competition and are currently in 2a B, the third tier of Spanish football, having had their last time in the top level in the 2010/11 season. Both those cities are big, are important seaports, are major entry points to the Spanish Mediterranean coast.

In women’s football, one of the best teams in Europe is a little local club from a small Danish town called Hjørring. I find it quite fun how that little town is home to the most winning danish team and one of the best in Europe

As an Union fan I was far from surprised to see Berlin as #1 on the list. History, politics, division/reunification and the Stasi screwed the city over for football and so much more. But it was nice to beat Dortmund, Mönchengladbach, and some other good teams in our first Bundesliga season. Also gave Bayern a fright which is always good.

I’ve just realised that he must right a whole essay for every vid

Shot mate, I am German and just watched that one for the first time. But you are so onto it with the number 1 spot

Underrated channel

0:23 Savage roast of Arsenal and Chelsea right there

Vienna is pretty sad actually. Especially because they have a pretty successful history. There are at least 4 clubs which played a huge role in Austrian, and even in international football in the past (at least for a 4 years) each of them quite special and with a great fan-culture (Rapid, Austria, First Vienna FC, Sportklub). But the worst is, that one of these clubs is really big, and has a very large but especially incredibly good fanbase (one of the best in Europe), and now they aren't even at the very top in Austria since more than a decade. It's so sad because now we have a team like Salzburg winning everything, which no one is interested in. Makes a small league even less interesting..

Thanks for the video. Now i can buy a club from one of this city.

Smallest cities or towns with the biggest support would be a great one, especially because I know mine is number 1 in that category

Since you mentioned other sports, like with Chicago or Izmir when not picking them, you could have mentioned other Sports which are very popular in Berlin and play a role why Union or Hertha are not that huge, especially when you talk about Gladbach or Kaiserslautern which are Football cities who can't offer much more from other sports. Berlin has the joint most successful Eishockey team in Germany. Berlin is home to the Internationally most successful German Basketball team, which also has the most Members. Berlin has the best Volleyball team in Germany. Berlin has a top Handball team. Berlin has the best water polo team in Germany. There's probably much more noteworthy clubs but i honestly just watch Football and simply searched a bit on the Internet for this information. As of 2016, there were 2400 Sport clubs in Berlin, with 640.000 Members, as of 2015 there were 73 Berlin clubs in their respective Top Divisions and 70 Berlin clubs in their respective 2. Divisions, that should give you the full picture. Berlin is not a Football city, yes we love Football here but it's not dominating everything like in some other cities like Dortmund.

7 players that play different positions for their countries

Palermo actually did not have finished 11th in last Serie B season. They had finished 3rd, with 63 points, but have had 20 points from financial irregularities deducted, initially, dropping to 11th, and them being further punished with the relegation. But they had a strong team qualified for playoffs.

Wow shinji. Hey from the states! Also why did you show Levi’s Stadium from the 49ers??

Haha London. There's a chance none of them will play Champions League football next season 😂😂😂

Last time I was this early, Arjen Robben still had hair

That was a great video! Of course, if you has wanted to be cruel, you could have included any city in India that has an I-League franchise.

I live in Brasília and came to mention it. As the city is quite new, most of the population here are people who came from the other states and their sons, so many people here support teams from their “native” states.

Wouldn’t include San Francisco the Earthquakes are in San Jose Which is apart of the metropolitan area and a lot of people in the city love the earthquakes and they’ve had some good years before the last few being rough houston is a better choice imo they have local celebrities supporting the team a large Latino population who love the sport and still struggle to draw fans and have been irrelevant for a while

Lol “Gençlerbirliği” gave your tongue some hard time xD

Think you should do a city series e.g 7 best players born in London, Manchester etc

Assuming one of the São Paulo teams mentioned is Santos FC, it is not from São Paulo city, but from Santos, which is a coastline city about 70 kilometers away from São Paulo. They have many supporters based in São Paulo metro, though.

8:57 Pretty sure that this isnt in Sicily

Seven small Citys with big football Clubs

yay i live in leeds just nice to have a shoutout of the city

You should’ve chosen Phoenix instead of San Francisco. Phoenix has a population of 4 million and our team, Phoenix rising, is in the second tier. We also are partly owned by didier drogba

Zaragoza is the fifth biggest city of Spain regarding population*

A correction: 3 football clubs in São Paulo. The fourth big club is in Santos,a city in the Shore of São Paulo state

Dresden, my home city, has almost 550000 inhabitants and the biggest football club (Dynamo Dresden, a politically installed socialist police club from GDR times) has now been relegated down into the 3rd league, while the actual traditional club of the city, the Dresdner SC, two times league champions and two times cup winner, now are in the 7th league, which makes it propably the club with the biggest difference between success in the past and situation at the moment in the world.

What about Plymouth? We have a huge city and never really been a force in football.

Top 7 Players who were rejected by multiple academies

Can you do a second part of this?

Your idea is better than mine but I still appreciate the credit!

Hertha isn’t that bad. They’ve been able to qualify to the Europa League on several occasions.

Zaragoza is a beautiful city I think their club will compete more in the future.

Similar to this video but the other way around you should do a video on the biggest teams from small cities!

Rlly cool to see San Francisco City mentioned

Edinburgh. Hearts and Hibs are enteral under-achievers, Edinburgh City are tiny.

Hertha Berlin is pronounced without the second H, so it would be Herta Berlin.

please upload a video about the all time 11 of club teams and national

For the German inclusion I would have picked Rostock. The city has "only" around 200000 people living in it, but it is still the biggest city in the noth eastern area of Germany. The closest triü to an actual Bundesliga game would be to Berlin which would be more than 200 km so there would be a large area available to cover for fanbase of the team. Still the biggest club of the city Hansa Rostock is playing in 3rd league since 2012 and was not plaing in first league since 2005. The team won 4 DDR championships and that was it for titles in their history so historically there is also not much going on.

Delhi,India... no football club😭😭
