When your friend invites you to play some football on his console but you see him launching Madden instead of Fifa so you quickly go to the bathroom and watch this video

As an American I feel like this guy some how understands the rules better than some of the refs

The only reason I'm watching this is so that I can understand what my dad is talking about when he yells at the tv.

as a massive rugby LEAGUE fan I can now finally appreciate the 4 down system after having it explained properly, now I'm about to embark on my first season of watching the NFL, great video mate cheers

Why am I watching this when I'm from New Zealand and have to study for a biology exam

When a Brit explains Football better than every American video I've watched so far lol

As a european, All I knew before this video was that you run with the ball to the other end of the field and crush the skulls of anyone who gets in your way. Great video, I get the overall logic now!

Texan here. Football fan for all my life. One of my favorite things about football is how quite literally every game counts. It's not like basketball or baseball in the sense that dozens of games are played and many are inconsequential. There are only 16 games in a season so there's no room for error. The stakes are way higher than in other sports and that makes for great entertainment.

This video really helps a ton. Before watching this, there were literally only two things I knew about American football (and this is no exaggeration); A. You have to get the ball to the opposite side of the field B. There's a kind of player called a quarterback That's it.

It feels odd being taught American football by an a British person. Hahaha Thanks! :)

Holy crap this game is so much more complicated than Rugby I thought they were the same,but you did a good job explaining it

Being an Australian watching afl my whole life it’s finally good to find out what American football is like

I'm European (Sweden), and i have just discovered this awesome sport! Can't wait for the NFL, 14 weeks now until my first season as a fan!!

As a Mexican that now lives in the USA, I never knew the rules of Football since Mexico is nothing but Soccer and Boxing. Thank you for this informative video, I can now enjoy the games when Im hanging out with my friends at SuperBowl parties...I was usually just there for the food LOL

American Football is probably the only sport i knew absolutely nothing about until watching this video. Ive had the pleasure of watching the Miami Dolphins play in Florida and had no clue what was going on. The sport is so technical and It feels like stepping into a new world.

Am a Kenyan from E.Africa where Football is not that famous...so I got interest in it due to watching American series All American and became and learnt a few rules hence this channel has helped me learn more

Growing up in Nigeria, I was always intrigued by american football and it's cliches everytime I saw clips of it on US media like cartoons and movies; the helmets and pads that made the players look like medieval warriors, the use of black painting on their checks, the tackling and shoving, it all looked cool. Sadly because I grew up in a place were no one around me know or cared about it enough to teach me how the sport works, I just stook to football(soccer). This made it difficult to watch it without losing interest so quickly. Thankfully, ever since I came to the UK 10yrs ago, the suprisingly rising interest in the sport in britain & the access to learn sources like this video made me want to give it one more try. So thanks Ninh:).

What I like about this sport is that the referees announce the infractions, replay reviews, and the resulting decisions to us. It helps in learning the rules.

Many in Europe think this is a weaker version of rugby (due to protective wear, etc.) but it is actually a completely different game. Thanks to this video, one realises it is quite interesting too. Very strategic.

I used to hate American Football for no reason back then. It's probably because my country is obsessed with football (soccer), which is why the mindset that football is the superior sport is drilled into me. But thanks to your video, now I actually understand what's going on, and after watching a couple of games I might actually be an NFL fan now. So thanks Ninh!

Now I understad what da' hell I was watching...

Besides the rules, there is also strategy based on score, time remaining, field position, and team strengths or weaknesses. Once you get it, it's great entertainment.

Watching it right now before the super bowl today and I am from Nepal. Cheers!!!

Great explanation, I'll definitely send this to friends. I got into American football about 10 years ago, I'm a Jaguars fan, so I'm really pleased they play a game here in the UK every season.

Me over the years: 2009-17 - Struggling to understand the game 2018-19 - Struggling to understand why officiating has gone so bad

Im from Australia and I wanted to see why its so popular and this has helped me so much, thanks

People who've never taken the time to watch and learn American Football might not understand the appeal at first glance, because the game is so much deeper than the face value that anyone who doesn't know the rules and intricacies is going to take it as. I've yet to see an athletic sport that has the same level of strategic depth. Because there's just so many players doing so many different things, and because of the sheer scale and turn-based style allowing both teams to constantly play mind games and out-smart each other, coaching is arguably more impactful than in any other sport. I've always thought of it as a contact sport inspired by the game of Chess. Aside from pure athleticism and physical gifts, there's just a crazy amount of strategy involved between 2 teams taking turns trying to gain control of the field(board) and each player(chess piece) having a very specialized role that they generally stick to. The crazy part is, when you take the time to think about it you can actually break down the similarities between some of the chess pieces and NFL player positions. For example, the offensive/defensive linemen are almost just like pawns moving straight forward at each other, either attacking or defending the skill position players behind them(which are like the pieces behind the pawns that have more complex movement capabilities than pawns). Also the QB is similar to basically the Queen and King combined, he is the most powerful piece/player on the board with so many offensive possibilities like a Queen, but also the most important player to protect and losing your QB(or playing very poorly with him) will usually lose you the game like a King. Wide Receivers and Runningbacks are kind of like Rooks and Bishops as to how they are highly valued for their ability to push all the way down the field/board in 1 move straight or diagonally. Tight Ends are kind of like Knights, typically running short L-shaped receiving routes.

American football is like a war-gaming. The strategy and preparation is unlike any other game. It’s not my favorite game (basketball) but I think it’s the best game.

As an American who grew up as a rabid American football fan ...I applaud this tutorial!!! Ninh, you touched all of the important parts of the game without over explaining trivial details.. I believe American football is the greatest contest of the physical and strategic parts of human nature ever conceived!... But I guess I'm a little bit biased :)

Thanks a lot for this. I have been watching the Superbowl for about 5 years now, because it's a nice change from constant soccer in Germany. A while ago I thought it's lame to just watch the final and now I'm watching all the games that are aired here, trying to understand the rules even better. I think it's an absolutely interesting sport. I understand all the passion the Americans have for this. Thanks :)

Watching this so I can better relate to people and make friends. Many people seem to love this game and it's really socially detrimental to not understand it. Thanks for the video.

This video really helps me to navigate American Football I love this sport just that it's get confusing at times and being in South Africa doesn't make it any easier I'm used to rugby but I find American Football fascinating, I love it so much I'm slowly getting the grip of it

Music sounds like Tekken 3 :-D

Man this particular game conveniently had all the examples of scoring and rules XD

I absolutely love this video! It helped a ton. I've been thinging about joining sports because I don't want my senior year to go to waste, and my really good friend suggested that I play in the football team with him and I've been considering it.. Even tho I didn't know anything about football.. But know I do! ☺ thank you for this -A lost teenage girl

I'm an American and I have friends who play/watch football and I never knew what was going on. Now that I know the basics I can at least participate in discussions thanks a ton mate!

well it turns out football was a super good game this whole time

of all football teams you choose jacksonville and dallas

after seeing this video i think this the the most tactical game in the world

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! Was really helpful to learn about this beautiful game. Appreciate it.

I am an Indian and there is absolutely no American Football here. But I got this sudden urge to know about it due to the amount of references to Football in American TV shows. I watched this video was absolutely intrigued. That was in July 2018 before the NFL season started and now I have watched so many games(the full games are uploaded on YT sometime after the game is over), highlights, and even some live games(including the SBLiii) with VPN. I got to learn a ton of other more intricate rules while watching. Thanks a lot!!!

American football is a fantastic sport i love the combination of hard hitting Action and complex strategy my favorite sport along with the 2 rugby codes.

I'm new to the sport and am from South Asia. I have never seen any friend who watches AF. They all are either Cricket, Soccer or Tennis fans. This was really helpful and clear only confusing thing for me was his brit accent lol. PS - And am rooting for the Raiders. I know that team gets lots of hate but my heart says them.

Very helpful video. I started watching American Football again after a break of quite a few years, and still at beginner level of understanding. This really helps. It's a fun game. Thanks for your efforts.

As an American, I finally understand what a “down” is

After my recent trip to the US I have found a new interest in American football. I found this video super interesting and easy to follow, thanks!

Thank you. I just moved to Knoxville Tennessee and College football is all the rage here.

this was one of the few sport that i had no clue about but was intrigued by how passionate the fans were about it. Thanks for the video it helps alot to understand a few things prior to watching a game.

Aussie that grew up with my dad loving NFL, so much so we have a signed Seahawks jersey and some other framed Seahawks stuff on our loungeroom wall. Today is Draft Day and i mean im still growin up with it, im a teen, but after watching with my dad for so many years I’ve been passionate about a sport i dint even understand so i mean cheers to my first Draft Day that I understand

Hey, love from India. Became a regular watcher of American Football after watching this. Thank you :)

So happy to find this video. After living in the USA over 32 Years and the mother of a son who played football, I decided it was time to learn the game for this 2022 superbowl . Great explanations.

That was very helpful, thanks. Started watching NFL during lockdown and think I’ll keep going for a few seasons. See if it builds on me. Picked Tampa last September so it was a helluva ride for a first time 😂

Now I finally understand it. Can't wait for the NFL season to start! This is my first season as a fan and I can't wait!!!!!!

Thank you, now I know what my boyfriend is talking about on Sundays

Tempted to watch my first Super Bowl tonight so thank you for this video. Given the comments by Americans it looks like you've got this spot on. Nice one!

I appreciate this video. As a Brit I’m just starting to get into American football, although I had picked up most of it, this has just made it clearer.

Translation for almost the rest of the world who uses metric: A Yard is 0,9144 meters.

Remembering a time without the digital lines on the field makes me feel old.

This is a great video and I finally get what is going on or mostly and why. Cheers fella

Didn't know jack about American football, and now I think I understand it almost completely. Great job with the explanation

A couple things I would add for people learning the rules: The punter is the one who catches the ball and then kicks it high in the air when a team is giving away possession, the kicker is the one who kicks field goals and performs kickoffs. Also note that you can block kicks and punts. The clock stops during an incomplete pass or when a ball carrier steps out of bounds. Also after a team scores. The fullback is sort of a dying position and is usually larger than the running back, meant for gaining short yardage.

I'm an American and I have to say this is very good. When did you start getting into American Football?

Woah information overload--I'm going to have to watch this a few times XD Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video!

Amazing job dude! Best video explaining American football in the Internet

such an interesting game...like chess....love it.

Everytime I feel like watching a new sport I visit your channel for these type of videos. Keep up the good work, greetings from Brazil!

From Argentina, cheers for all of you practicing and/or enjoying this wonderful sport!

Thank you very much, I'm a soccer/NBA guy, but I always been intrigued by the NFL plus the season just started so perfevt timing. Salute from France

Now I'm ready for the Superbowl! Thanks m8!

I'm from New Zealand but I'm very interested to know about American Football. In New Zealand, rugby is our national sport and so there are some similarities between the two sports. I watched the Super Bowl this year and I didn't know what was going on the whole time but I thought it was a great game to watch. This video is really detailed and informative and now I actually know what is going on so thank you!

Thank you! Very informative and fun experience. I will be sharing this soon

Thank you very much for this. Living in the netherlands, NFL is more and more on the tv, love to watch, this helps a lot to understand the game

im in the uk and I watched this and am now really enjoying the super bowl as before I didn't get what was going on so I didn't really enjoy it. if you don't get the rules it's impossible for you to enjoy a sport and appreciate the tatics and the sportsmanship of a game. thank you for creating this so people like me can enjoy now I enjoy watching to American sports as I used to play for my school basketball team.

Great job. Explained very well...all you need to know

Thanks you so much! I've been wanting to learn how Footballl works and you explained it fast and straight to the point.

so I'm an American who has never much cared for football, and I'm currently beginning to read the Blind Side in my English class. I had no idea what was going on in the first chapter, which is strange for me because English is my favourite subject. this video helped me understand it so much better. thanks!

And for you that say it's "dumbed down" or "they stand around and do nothing", it's probably the most strategic sport you can play. You have to be smart and know your position and the job you have to do. I could go on and on but I guess non-Americans will never appreciate it quite like we do. Understood though. But, I still wouldn't shut it out until you've played it and/or at least watched an entertaining college game.

I am New to this Game. Thank you for Sharing. Greetings from Cabo verde Islands. Cheers

Very well done video! Helping me to start from very basics understanding the American football. Thank you!

I think American football is the most strategic and interesting sport on the planet. I love that they stop in between every play and call a new, organized play, rather than the game being a nearly constant flow. It always feels like there is careful strategy going on all the time. The rules are complicated, especially as it relates to what each offensive player position is allowed to do and what is a legal block/contact and what isn't, but it all makes sense when you understand why the rules are all there. Great sport.

Thanks this helped I'm English but I love American football

I learned more from this video than anyone has ever told me or from watching. Literally the best video thank you!!!

this video is dope dude. I go to notre dame and didnt understand anythin during the football games this helped a ton

thanks for this, i now kinda sorta get it, i feel like an american now that i understand this whole football thing

I didn't know american football at all. Thanks guys for this video, everything is clear now.

I gotta admit this is by the best video on youtube explaining american football. Great job Man!

Thanks. Really helpful content. Football might be my new favourite sport

I taught American football was a stupid game now I understand everything thanks to this video. Now am really enjoying American football

I watched my first superbowl this year and it was one of the most entertaining sporting events I've ever watched. I've always wanted to get into (american) football, and after the Superbowl and with the new season starting, I'm committed to giving it my full attention and effort, but like many, if not most Europeans, I knew fuck all about the game, so this really helped me in not feeling like a phoney!

I didn’t understand American Football at first, but this video definitely helped!

Thanks for making this i was thinking of getting into american football and this has helped me do so. Great video you deserve more subs.

i'm an Aussie that is sick of having nothing to watch on TV and thought the NFL looked interesting. Great video, really easy to understand and to-the-point but also thorough. Thanks a lot

I love how American football rules are explained by an English commentator 😂

Very nice guide! Although I am more of a European Football (Soccer) Fan, I decided to learn this and give a try at watching it. You have no idea how much this helped me!

Loved the video, very clear with the visuals 👍🏻😁

i am from europe and i recently started with nfl :)

The only reason I watched this video was to see the comment section. Makes me so happy that so many people across the pond are taking an interest in the NFL. Thanks for making this video Ninh

best video out there. had no idea about football, but now I understand it clearly. worth the watch

Sorry to comment in all your videos, but this is wonderful, this made me understand almost completely how this sport was. Thanks bro, your work is brilliant

I'm a football newbie going into high school with no prior knowledge and it has been very helpfull
