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 😅

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.

5:10 is Ronaldinho. It's not routine for most players at all. That man could do very nasty things.

Always warms the heart, seeing one of our brothers across the pond, appreciating ' the beautiful game'.

You need to watch famous R.Carlos goal against France in 1998. Its crazy.

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”.

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.

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.

5:22 This guy is really good Me: that’s Ronaldinho

Kevin Debruyne - when football becomes art. Clips from Man City and his Belgium National side is ace 👌

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.

"... 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 should make a reaction to the best of Zlatan Ibrahimovic ;)

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Best thing about this video is how much fun you're having :D

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.

The beautiful game! Nice video, glad you are enjoying the football journey. Nice video :)

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.

0:50 in Germany we call it "Bananen-Flanke"

best sport ever, no other sports came close

Good fun to see a fellow American appreciate football. I only wish we had a comparable league here.

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

You should watch: The beauty of football - greatest moments. The video shows the most special moments in history

such a beautiful, free, individual yet collective sport. art really

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 😉😉👍

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 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.

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.

Heading is done usually only with the forehead. It does hurt everywhere else.

Ronaldinho is the one to watch as the magician of ball control and dribbling skills. Another recommendation for ‘Ronaldinho Footballs Greatest Entertainer’

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.

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.

Escape to Victory. Stallone played Keeper. If you want to see the best hat-trick EVER. Check out Ibrahimovic - Sweden vs England

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...

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.

“I mean, maybe this guy is really good” 😂oh how I lol’d

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

if you want to see some amazing ballcontroll you should watch futsal or freestyle football competitions. Those people have some amazing skills.

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

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.

this compilation clip I have never seen.. awesome footbal.

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😁

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.

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.

the toe of his boot it textured so you can use it like the tip of a snooker cue, hahahaha.

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.

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!

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.

Have you seen spinners ( Bowlers ) in Cricket like a pitcher in Baseball. The movement they can get from a cricket ball is unreal .

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

That US international team goalie was Tim Howard, he has played for Manchester United.

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

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!

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 !

"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.

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.

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.

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 KZfaq channel

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.

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.

"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.

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

You should watch Kevin de bruine from belgium. Best assist player of the last 5 years

Need more of this and a reaction to Ultras our way of life !

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).

maybe this guy is really good😂😂😂ronaldinho! the goat😂

Check out a compilation of Ronaldinho's skills, he's by far the best at tricks during a competitive game that i have ever seen. I feel really lucky to have been alive when he was in his prime

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.

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.

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 !

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.

one goal i need to add in - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNR4iKaqs9HJqn0.html - the so called "impossible goal" - crazy.... Roberto Carlos was a BEAST...

This is why fútbol is the most beatiful game

Highlights videos mostly focus on strikers, but watching one of the best creative midfielders of all time it's a joy, Xavi Hernandez from Spain. Number 8 when playing for Spain: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftWPhLRnp5-dp5s.html Number 6 when playing for Barcelona: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebCflq2op7Wbc58.html Look how difficult it's for the rival players to take the ball from him, how he knows where all his team mates are at any given moment, how he chooses the exact moment to give the perfect pass... Every kid leaning to play should get the basics from Xavi, full playing field vision, cool head, choose when to pass and when to hold on the ball.

Maybe this guy's really good. This man knows talent, ronaldinho is crazy

Highly recommend watching Roberto Carlos highlights. Some of the craziest goals. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Messi, Ronaldo (Brasilian), Messi, and you could just go down a rabbit hole of players with insane highlights.

Ma man. Calls it football. Big ups brother.

You should check some argentinians. The century goal and if you want some old school, look for some Kempes highlights.

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.

7:04 brother 2014 World Cup Tim Howard USA national soccer team love him played with Colorado rapids before retirement

“Let me scoop that out of mid air and throw it right in the goal with my foot” 🤣 American for “volley” or “kick”

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😅

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.

Your hooked 😂

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 🙂

at 8:55 thats arsene wenger's arsenal in full flow

How about watching the 4-4 match between Wydad Casablanca and Raja Casablanca...it was absolute insanity
