Atalanta have the most underrated Frontline in Europe :gomez, illicic, zapata, Muriel all deserve more recognition

My home team, sc Heerenveen from Holland, have a 27K stadium, wheras the town itself holds 29K people. They have played in the Dutch top league since 1993

Can you do a who would play for east/west Germany if it existed today

Eibar is the most impressive honestly. They've over achieved for sure! They've beaten Barça and Real Madrid in the past year.

Rise and fall of Portsmouth

Thanks man for doing this🙌🏻 But i kind of miss clubs like: RC Lens: Lens has a population of around 30000 but RC Lens has played 60+ seasons in Ligue 1, won the Ligue 1 once and the Coupe de Ligue twice. AJ Auxerre: despite coming from a city with a population of around 35000, AJ Auxerre have won Ligue 1 once, the Coupe de France 4 times and made a QF appearance in the CL. FC Sochaux: Montbéliard, the city where FC Sochaux is based have a population of around 25000, but despite that Sochaux have played a total of 66 seasons in the Ligue 1 and won the Ligue 1 twice, the Coupe de France twice and the Coupe de la Ligue once. En Avant Guingamp: Based in a town with only 7000 inhabitants, Guingamp have played serveral seasons in the top-flight, won the Coupe de France twice, and made 5 appearances in Europe. KFC Uerdingen 05 : Based in a small city (around 20000 inhabitants) near Krefeld, KFC Uerdingen have played a total of 14 seasons in the Bundesliga, and the club have won 1 DFB-Pokal in 1985. CD Numancia: The club had played the majority of their existence in the third or fourth tier prior to their first promotion to La Liga in 1999. Since then the club have spent a total of 4 seasons in the Spain's top flight, despite being based in a city, with less than 40000 inhabitants(Soria).

Villarreal just won the Europa League too. Love the video and all the other great content. Keep up the good work. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos.

villareal, good shout to Senna was a great defensive midfielder just over a decade ago

The biggest club that comes from a relatively small city is SANTOS FC. Santos has a population of about 400 thousand people. That may seem like a lot for many european countries, but keep in mind that there are 17 cities with over a million inhabitants in Brazil. To put it in perspective, Santos is only the 10th largest city in Sao Paulo state and the 55th largest city in the country. Never the less, Santos FC has won 8 league titles, 1 Copa do Brasil (equivalent to the FA Cup), 3 Copa Libertadores and 2 club world cup titles. Not only that, but it has given the world Pelé, Robinho, Neymar and many, many other players. It's really impressive.

ross county dingwall. if dingwall filled everyone into there stadium it would still have empty seats. population of only 3000 but have been in the top tier of scottish football concistantly now

7 best premier league squads to be relegated: Newcastle 2015-16

7 best players who changed position mid career

Can you do 7 players who proved their previous club wrong

Chile 2015 Copa America Winners XI: Where Are They Now?

Cameroon 2017 Africa Cup Winners XI: Where Are They Now?

This is an extremely so fantastic video of 7 most overachieving football teams and in the list,I am extremely so happy to see my boyhood football team Monaco to be on the list,good friend!!!:-D

In Brazil we have Chapecó, with a population of only 166 thousand, yet Chapecoense managed to have good performances in the last decade. They were the champions of the Copa Sulamericana (the south american "Europa League") in 2016, and qualified to the Libertadores on the two following seasons. They competed in the Série A uninterrupted since 2014, beating great clubs such as Palmeiras 5×1 and Internacional 5×0. Unfortunately they were relegated last season, but it's still an impressive record. Great video, bro. Sorry for my bad English.

Do small countries with great national teams like Croatia and Uruguay

Great video!

This guy should be at 1 million subs. Legit

There is also Guingamp in France (≈7k people), they are now in Ligue 2 but they are in Ligue 1 very often, they already won the cup once or twice, and many great players played here, Drogba, Papin, Thuram (son) and other that I probably forget.

Love that you’re from Beverley - Long time viewer from Driffield here 👍

Petr Čech debuted for FK Chmel Blšany which are located in Blšany - Czechia. With population of 960 in 1999-2001, they finished 6th in Czech top tier league and 2 years in a row were eliminated in semi-final of UEFA Intertoto Cup, where winners were guaranteed to advance into UEFA Cup (today Europa League).

Good job on the video, but I think it could0ve been better if you used examples from leagues outside of Europe. For example, in the Chilean Primera División there is a club named Cobresal, which is currently in the 11th place of the standings (only 7 games into the 2020 tournament). Cobresal was the 2015 Clausura Champions, and important players of the Chilean national team have played in the team, such as Iván Zamorano. The team is located in the city of El Salvador, which was designed in the 1970s to shelter the workers of the El Salvador mine. In the 80s the city had more than 15.000 inhabitants, and it had an airport with flights to and from Santiago, a commercial district, and many facilities for the miners. The stadium of Cobresal was rebuilt in the 1980s to allocate games of the Copa Libertadores, with a capacity of 20.000 fans. Now the city has around 8.500 inhabitants and the mine will close in the next decade. But the team still plays and trains in El Salvador. If El Salvador it is a city or not depends on your criteria, but at least it was a city. At least it could've make the video of successful town clubs. Other examples outside of Europe are Cerro Largo of Uruguay, JS Kabylie of Algeria, and especially Independiente del Valle of Ecuador (2016 Copa Libertadores finalists, 2019 Copa Sudamericana champions) It's not something bad per se that in this kind of videos you use only European examples, but I expect cases from other continents if you point out that you take a look at "cities within the World". Please take this comment as constructive criticism, I do enjoy your channel and I want to help to make it better

I think Alkmaar could have been featured as their team, AZ, was second in the Dutch league. Anderlecht, though from the Brussels area, is actually from the small city of Anderlecht, whilst historically dominating the Belgian league. Herning is home to Danish 1st placed FC Midjytland. For Germany, many cases could be made of course, but my personal choice would have gone out to Leverkusen as it has a similar size as Wolfsburg but the club has more historical relevance and is higher placed.

how are cities with more than 100k people "small cities" ? Eibar, Monaco and Villarreal were the only small cities in this video Leicester has 300k people(!) but still made it into this video, lol sMalL ... missed some actual small cities like Alkmaar (AZ), Genk, Vila do Conde (Rio Ave), Razgrad (Ludogorets), Sion or Heerenveen

Normally my comments are of the lines of “arrrgh you forgot xx” but this time I have to say you are spot on in my books. Having watched places 7 to 2 I was thinking “he’d better say Villarreal next or I’m going to send off a sarky comment” and you did. So well done. :-)

great video.

In Poland is a club which has 6 times greater stadium capacity than the number of inhabitants of their village. "With a population of only 750, Termalica Bruk-Bet Nieciecza is the football club from the smallest village in history to qualify to the top level of a European football league" via Wikipedia

I've always considered Bruges to be overachievers, one of the most decorated clubs in Belgian football the club have been crowned Belgian league champions 16 times and are also the only Belgian team to play in a Champions League final, population of 115k with a stadium size of 30k which is actually too big to fit in the actual city itself, impressive stuff 💪🎉

You forgot the Netherlands , we have 2 canditates 1. PSV Eindhoven. Second most achieving club (histrorically aswell as in the past few years) while they only have a poulation a aroind 200.000 thus being smaller than Rotterdam (Feyenoord), Utrecht (FC utrecht), Den Haag (ADO Den Haag) while overachieving then. 2. AZ Alkmaar. Alkmaar is the 28 largest city in the Netherlands (around 100.000 people) while having the 4th most achieving team in history, arguably even surpassing feyenoord in the last years. Last season they got to second place and this season they tied to first place with Ajax before the season ended due to COVID19, beating Ajax 2 times, home and away.

me a die heard Villarreal fan watching this video and smiling hard.

You should mentioned Ludogoretz.Their city is Razgrad(32 000 people) and currently Ludogoretz is the best bulgarian team and compete every year in european competitions.

I miss Heerenveen. Plays first division Dutch league for the last 25+ years. Regularly plays european football. A stadium large enough to accomodate all inhabitants of the city!! City has 29k inhabitants btw. Did win the Dutch cup. And was 3x runner up in the competion.

Porto Alegre: 1,4m - Despite the large number of people, Brazil is a very large country, more than 200m people live here and a state capital with "only" 1.4m people can be considered small, almost 10x less people than São Paulo. Porto Alegre is home of two of the greatest Brazilian teams Gremio e Internacional. Combined these two teams have 21 major trophies including Libertadores and the Fifa's word cup, their also are home of great players like Ronaldinho Gaucho, Dida, Arthur (Barcelona), Fred (MU) and Alisson Becker.

The rise and fall of Blackburn/ Bolton/ Portsmouth?

Dundee. A city of 150,000 people with two professional clubs who have both reached the European Cup semi-final.

Villarreal has always been a lower league club in my mind - show how old I am ;) (The same way I always think of clubs like Notthingham Forest, Leeds United, Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday as top flight clubs...)

Hi, I think you definitely should have included "Razgrad" which is the home town of Ludogorets Razgrad. The town has population of only 35k people, while the team has won the Bulgarian top division every year since 2012. They also reached Champions League groups stage 2 times and regularly finishes top 2 in Europa League groups stage continuing to the knock out stages.

My addition: Bastia(population less than 50.000) uefa cup finalist, intertoto cup winner, france supercup winner and etc. But it was 30 years ago...

Can you do a video on Racing Santander- Rise and fall?

Barcelona 2008-9 or inter Milan's *Treble* winning squad where are they now. As a Series

Villareal❤️❤️. Two of my favourite players have played for this club. Santi and Forlan.

Tottenham Hotspur XI That Beat Wigan Athletic 9-1: Where Are They Now?

Ludogorets from Bulgaria deserves a mention . They are from a city of 20 000 and the clubs they compete agains in the bulgarian league are from either the capital 1.5 mil population or other cities with 3 to 500 000 populations . They have won the bulgarian title 10 years in a row , played in the champions league group stage 2 times almost every year in the europa league group stage , reached the last 16 in the in the Europa few times . And have beaten so many power clubs , PSG , Steua Bucharsti , Red Star Belgrade , Basel , Lazio , list goes on and on . Its really remarkable

Sandhausen could have made the list as well 15 000 inhabitants and still competing in the 2. Bundesliga.

NK Maribor- city with just 100000 people from small Slovenia, yet the club managed to get into the champions league 3 time (trashing Lyon in 1999 in the final qualifying round)

Ludogorets Razgrad is an overachieving team. Razgrad is home to only about 30K people

idea: 7 best players (over 30 years of age) who havent won a trophy yet.

I live in serbia in one small town with population of 16.000 and we have a stadium for about 6.000 people’s. We should be in the video 😀

Plz make a video about 7 best clubs who never changed badges

i would like to see a republic of ireland xi video if all eligible players declared for them :D that would be amazing

I listen to ur voice when I’m tired to help me fall asleep

how about a video on places with the largest stadiums per person. Idea came to me from what you said about Villareal's stadium being half the size of the population.

Seven players who changed positions during their careers and never looked back e.g. Thierry Henry at centre-forward.

Nice

I never knew anything about Eibar until I just played them in FIFA. Their stadium is pretty beautiful despite the small size.

Can you do 7 players who disappeared in the last few years?

Being from the Netherlands I am baffled you didn't include AZ Alkmaar. They've had more success, and are currently more successful than most teams mentioned on this list, and the city of Alkmaar is small with only 95k inhabitants.

Do which clubs are the best to trail at please !!!!!!

Would teams that play in cities outside of where the name suggests count? If so, then I think Carson, California and the LA Galaxy deserve a mention.

Please do best 1 team cities in Europe (past and present)

Santos who has a team by the same name is not only the club who brought us Pele is also arguably the most successful Brazilian club in history with 2 world championships 3 libertadores and 8 brasileirao and the city is less than 1/12 of its state capital São Paulo

Go through every prem club and pick their best ever player from each continent

Day 13 Bvb's xi that reached 2013 ucl final :where are they now??

What about a list with teams that have city names but aren’t located in there? For example: FC Dallas from the MLS plays in the city of Frisco

Knew you were a Hull fan, but never realized you were from Beverley. I lived in Hull for 2+ years and remain a City fan.

Can you do this again and maybe pick 10 teams

Make a video on all the oldest club from each continent .. 😁

I mean, by European standards 450k inhabitants is hardly a small city.

Guingamp in France is a tiny city with a major football club !

Top 7 most cozy stadiums. Like close and packed in to the field like eibars and qprs

Well villareal just won the europa league 2021 so i guess they are the leaders in overachieving

7 players who flopped after making big transfers?

Probably the biggest overachiever recently in South America is Indepediente Del Valle, (with honorable mentions to Chapecoense) who play at a 100k town and a 8000 seater stadium(which they can't use at continental tournaments) that have been soundingly outperforming his neighbors from Quito and Guayaquil, managing to reach the final of the Copa Libertadores at 2016, and winning the Copa Sudamericana at 2019

Ludogorets Razgrad the city is 25k people and they play in champions leage

I am not sure if one should include teams like Salzburg or Wolfsburg with big investors supporting them.

In Czech Republic we had Blšany and Drnovice. Those even were not small cities, but VILLAGES. They both played in 1st Czech league for about 10 years 😅

THE WAY HE PRONOUNCED BERGAMO

Couldyou make some vedios on Asian and American football clubs.

Please make on FC XI in Pep Gadioua's last match where are they now

Maybe do 7 players who’s careers were tragically cut short (career ending injuries, deaths, illness or war). Just a suggestion is bill whelan, who was an inside forward who had 50 goals for Manchester United by the age of 22 who died in the Munich disaster. He could have gone on to become not just one of the greatest irish players of all time, perhaps he could have become one of the greatest Manchester United players of all time.

Nantes is a city in France with a population of 300,000 (near enough), home to the third most successful team in french history (one title more successful than PSG), and who have partaken in the Champions League on multiple occasions, including a semi-final in 2000. After the turn of the millennium however, we had a financial problem or two (no relegation though), and we have never really recovered from it. Before the season was suspended, FC Nantes were positioned in 13th, 12pts behind European football. The normal pattern which we are yet to break is that up to and including Christmas, we are really strong contenders for UCL football, but then let it slip in the second half of the season. After leaving Leicester City, Claudio Ranieri became the FC Nantes boss for a year, and the most recent event, unfortunately, is the death of Emiliano Sala, who topped our scoring charts for each of the past three seasons (R.I.P.).

can u do a video 7players who deserve better clubs in their career

Santos is one of the main rivals of my team but I have to admit they are the biggest team of a small town by far

Guingamp, Freiburg, Braga, Sassuolo, Alkmaar, Genk, Asteras Tripolis, Heerenveen.

Seven cities that have produced a ridiculous amount of top flight footballers (for example Rosario)

Burton on Trent is a small town of around 50k but Burton Albion spent 2 years in the championship

Feels like I last watched a live match 3 years ago.

I would love to see more south or North American 7s lists.

Very much missing AZ Alkmaar, currently tied for 1st place in the netherlands, 3rd best team in the dutch league in the past 15 years, champion in 2008-2009 season, lost championship in 2006-2007 season on last game of the year. 1 semi-final EL and 3 quarter finals EL in past 15 years. 100.000 population. Beat ajax twice this year 0-2 and 1-0, and won at feyenoord 0-3 and at psv 0-4

Idea... Top 7 national teams with promising young talents... Italy Netherlands Germany England etc........

Video idea:towns where the population can nearly(or can) fill the full stadium

AZ Alkmaar? City with around 86.000 inhabitants and among the best teams right now in The Netherlands. And you could even add PSV because Eindhoven have less inhabitants than Leicester and are the second most succesful club behind Ajax while Amsterdam is four times as big

Éibar = “Aybar” Shout out to my local club Deportivo La Coruña!

Riquelme ❤️. Please make a video on amazing players who chose not to chase money and fame.

Ik it’s not very original but can you do all time combined XIs of club sides and say which season you’re taking the player from. E.g. if you were doing AC Milan then you’d pick let’s say 1990 Maldini at left back

Donetsk sounds like an interesting one to cover.

Mancheaster should honestly be here. A city with 500k that have one of the Worlds best teams historically (United) and currently (City). London, Munchen, Madrid, Barcelona , Turin ect are all cities of many millions. Probably the city with most trophies per person at least.

Long time ago now but Aberdeen FC once won a UEFA Super Cup vs Real Madrid
