Adidas used to have an obsession with releasing "the roundest ball ever made" for each World Cup. The Jabulani was the peak of this madness. Remember those 99p Super Tele balls you could get from petrol stations that turned every 8 year old kid in to Roberto Carlos? It was like that but at the World Cup.

Goalkeepers:The Jabulani ball was very hard for us to stop Suarez:Not at all!

The shirt being wet test might be more about how well the sweat evaporates from the shirt during the game, it might hang onto it while the other ones dry faster and therefore stay lighter overall

Fellaini's case was thrown out of court after the lawyer pointed out that the boots had no effect on his ability to throw elbows and therefore had no practical effect on his game performance

As a goalie I can tell you that the wrist wraps really help with giving support to your palm/wrists when blocking hard shots with an open palm. It prevents the palm from folding back too far.

I used to wear the Messi 16 with the laces and they’re much better

Are these products really to blame for bad performances on the pitch?

I can imagine as a former keeper that the gloves are not really a keepers favorite. I also would rather have some with wrist straps

The ball at 3:03 would have worked a lot better as a replacement ball for snowed-in conditions, not for regular play.

The irony that a shirt you can’t see has SHARP VIEWCAM on the front.

6:50 i think the reason is simple, it’s very annoying to get their big hands in there 3-5 times per game and could loosen the elastic. Traditional is faster and more comfortable to get the hands in. Also side note, I find Nike shoes uncomfortable for wide feet.

About adi gloves, actually a lot of pro keepers wears them without strap, like ter stegen, donarumma, pau lopez, vaclik, kepa, meslier, ramsdale etc... So i think that it is more personal preference thing rather than pros dont like it

The modern barça shirt you used was a fan version and not the player version. The player version soaks up the sweat a lot better and is a lot lighter

Ah man I was my high school keeper when that jabulani ball came out. Those were our home game balls and boy were they a nightmare haha did decent but they were so unpredictable

The Visaros were actually a decent boot to be fair haha. I used them for 2 seasons. After break in they’re very comfortable. The upper isn’t flexible at all but eventually does soften up nicely like any decent boot would. Fellaini was out of his mind suing for 2 mil 😂

0:00 Ronaldo blaming the pitch for his freekick going to the moon in the Euros came to my mind…

You should do another collab with street panna when he is fully recovered... maybe like do one of these videos with him ❤️🔥

I love your content man, top quality:) keep it up

2:38 there is a light dark pattern on the lighter grey background. It does look a bit like camo pattern. The thing about camo is not just having it the same colour as the background, but it is more about the pattern. Patterns like this makes it harder to discern shapes since movement tend to "blur" the shape a bit. On top the grey blends probably to well with too many backgrounds. So the pattern makes it harder to discern shapes, especially when it moves on top of the background moving, additionally the grey can blend in with too many backgrounds making it really hard to properly discern where the players are or it takes several moments longer to fully focus/discern the object. Those split seconds can make a huge difference

The issue with the Hypervenom 2 was that they were fundamentally different to the original Hypervenom. I had both models myself and the original Hypervenom had that so called "Nike skin" which was supposed to shape the boot during the break in time to suit the foot more and its surface looked like that of a golfball which gave it extra grip all round. The Hypervenom 2 however completely got rid of Nike Skin and instead had a cage built in to support to foot however in result the boot was a lot stiffer, felt heavier and overall was way more similar to the old T90s than to the Hypervenom 1. Eventually for the Euros 2016 Nike added Nike Skin back to the Hypervenom 2 bc a lot of pros complained about it which is very unusual. Usually the only thing that changes about a model (at least the ones available to the public) during its life span is the different colorways that come out every other month.

"Shirt is too heavy" Lord have mercy,what the world has come to🙏

5:05 bro really cut a pair of football boots 💀

Something I can actually help with! The cutting of boots like Ibrahimovich does is probably done by people with high foot arch. So if you have a normal, narrow foot - you may not see a difference. But to people with high arch like myself, I assume it would probably make it a bit easier and more comfortable on the foot. You can see Ibra is also tying his boots lower which would imply to me he has high arches as that's the same thing I do personally as well

10:07 Very good sync with the music when the ball hit the wall.

Personally think the mould/last they used for the hypervenom IIs to be among the most comfortable I’ve ever had. And I have both the Phinish and Phantom. Ironically I’m not a fan of the newer Mercurials. The biggest issue was marketing and I’m sure Nike wanted their new line to have its own star since Ronaldo is the face of the Mercurial.

The general problem with the predator gloves is that they are worn out faster than other top end gloves (trust me I have tested my fair share of gloves)

I personally like the predator gloves but i do like the wrist support so what i do is tape the wrist for the extra support it is missing and they work perfectly.

Kieran is my favorite KZfaqr. He makes me happy everyday.

The wrist straps are for support and comfort, as a keeper being able to change the tightness of the glove is really important… at least for me when I played

kieran i have always watched your videos and you inspired me alot thank you

I remember a couple years back when I was a goalkeeper. We had 3 different balls. The Adidas ball showed in this video and Select balls. 1 of the Select balls was fine but the Adidas and the other Select used to wobble around in the air and made it very difficult to see where the ball was going. Our co-coach, who usually held the goal keeper exercises, wondered why I started letting so many in when they brought out the new balls. He decided to have me shoot a few balls at him. More precisely, have 10 shots of each ball. I first shot the good balls and he could save them with relative ease, saving 8/10. When I switched ball, he noticed immediately that the balls were changing direction mid air. He only managed to save 3 of those. And then I shot the Adidas balls at him and he managed to save 5/10.

You got the best ideas love the videos Kerian

The wrist straps on goalie gloves is really important for giving support to the wrist when stoping high power shots and having tried those predator gloves out my wrist was killing me after a few saves

And although the shirt being heavy Messi went on to score 91 goals in 2012 lmao

This is the first video I saw of yours and it made to subscribe to you mate. And I haven’t done that to a lot of KZfaqrs. Well done. That was a good video.

you are probably the best youtuber right now your videos just have such a nice vibe tbh

I think it really comes down to your foot shape with these boots. Sometimes they really sit badly in a shoe to the point you’ll constantly be in pain.

Messi wasn’t really wearing takedowns, he just had the .1s made without the lace cover.

I love football and it is crazy how you have access to so much. Subbed.

I've literally watched every video of yours through lockdown! Look forward to seeing more 🙏🏼🔥

For the shirt that get heavier, even If the quantity of sweat is right, you didnt count the fact that it dry at the same time. The 2011 shirt might maintain more water in the fabric than the most newer ones, making it much heavier if it doesnt dry fast enough on the contrary of the newer kits.

Anyone else see the cat in the background running for its life 😂

0:01 into the video and straight to the point. Instant subscribe

Great video as always

If i had to say my fav footballer youtuber it be kieran brown edit:thanks for the likes guys

5:48 skills

as a hockey goalie, and an ex football goalie, the lack of straps just make gloves feel insecure. they can stay in place perfectly but without the feeling of them being anchored on it's just really offputting and you think theyre gonna move

You are so underrated you deserve more subs

I thought a lot of stuff we bought in store are “replica” in nature - balls, shirts, etc / with the pros getting the proper version and the consumers getting a cheaper version anyway?

nice video and a new innovative content loved it mate from India.

Man when I used to be a goalie I used pro touch with strap and they were the best ones I've used. The cushioning and dampening shots and possible rebounds were outstanding

Great video Kieran absolute class ❤️

OMG I remember watching your vids back in the day, while you were doing a day as a freestyler or smthng like that, so glad your videos are so popular good job

Another quality video mate!

Great Vids Keiran keep em up!

Bro I love this channel!

with the adidas goalkeeper gloves i think the players prefer to have the strap as it provides some wrist support that you wouldn't have if you wore strapless gloves

I remember the Pink La Liga ball... It was actually genuinely impossible to try and watch the games as you couldn't see the ball properly.

Well done on getting in trending !!!

Love you Kieran, sick video as usual

Players often wear new boots every game so that may be why. Michael Jordan wore a new pair of Jordan's every game cuz he donated them after every game.

I see Navas, De Gea, Ter Stegner and Donnarumma wearing those gloves lol oh an Unai Simone too

love you bro please post more mate ur such an insparation tho mate thanks

I love how you tested the PSG shirt too, so we can compare them. Nice vid.

could've just watched a la liga game that used the winter ball

I feel like the boots are all dependent on preference!

In any sport at maximum performance levels, smallest difference in equipment can have unexpected exponential effect on someone's performance due to how "muscle memory" works and how much player psychology plays integral part in player performance. If the player believes something will degrade or improve his performance, it likely will. In most cases if there is a measurable physical difference, it's just a matter of how long it will take someone to adapt. But you have to apply careful timing to add that adaptation period into already busy schedule and players that are already not perfectly happy with their role in the team or their personal life, might at minimum resist adaptation on a sub-conscious level, which is never their own fault - a club must find ways to deal with sub-conscious tendencies of their players, with lack of self confidence, having too much self confidence, superstitious beliefs, etc. What all things in this video have in common is that those ware all marketing decisions made by marketing experts. Key to sport psychology is same as all psychology, you have to listen and listen impartially, open minded. Key to marketing is not to listen, but to make other people listen and put ideas into their mind. Tough thing to balance out, but important one.

100% agree with the hypervenoms not being comfortable, my FG hypervenoms feel like the outside of the sole is lifting my foot quite high

0:44 I like how an animal just sprints in the background

Maybe the Messi laceless hurt more when someone steps on you or tackles you.

You evry vidio is existing and interesting evry time you are best keep it up

You make great, original content bro I appreciate that a lot in a creator

0:43 Doggo runno

0:43 puppy doing endurance training

3:04 btw it was made for winter so basically comparing it on grass btw they still use it but just for snow days

As a keeper I prefer wrist strap gloves for the extra wrist protection but it’s down to personal preference

Watching this at 3am and I don’t even play football 😂

The Hyoervenoms was lit, I loved them. Wish Nike would still make them

I'm loving your videos!

He Kieran where did you get the new prem ball from keep up the good work

I have a question. Has your game improved with all the repetition you put on your trick shots? I hope it has. Sick videos man

Hypervenom is my fave boot, wierd how people like different things. I like that they are so thin i can feel every touch and they sit tight.

your were my inspiration to get back into football and i can’t stop playing i’m still ass but i love it

for basketball i remember buying one nike zoom air shoes. they looked nice. when i first played in them it felt weird tho. the zoom air was elevating my forefoot slightly. .. BUT when you are on your toes like on defense it felt awesome. it was like i had a sprinters foot plate underneath my feet i could explode even quicker forward. dont see why they dont make them anymore. those were my fav basketball shoes

The Man U- Southampton game with the famous grey shirts actually finished 6-3 to Southampton.

You know you've made it as a footballer when you can afford to complain about a boot and the brand name takes the fall for it and engineers a new one.

Your such a good freestyle player so could you do another panna video or freestyle tournament

I liked my hyper venom phantom 2 and 3’s, both put a nasty outside curve on the ball

This video is the embodiment of “Please, NO JOHNS!”

kieran just keeps answering questions that i didnt know i had

Kieran, The predator gloves was down to the wrists not being tight enough and too loose on the arse I had a pair myself and felt very shakey and felt like they where going to fall off I then changed to a strap version which are available if you go to adidas store not website I felt aloy more safe and comfy I think its just down to them not being tight enough and maybe them being too long on the arm

I understand the gk glove complaint. Some keepers like the strap and typically its easier to rip the palm from the wrist of the the from pulling it to put them on. Its better to rip the strap instead of the glove itself. But personally ive had a pair of those gloves for a little over a year now and still love them and they haven’t ripped from putting them on yet but i pull from the bottom of them palm so i make sure i dont rip it

“Felleni said they affected his performance” good way to blame something else for his shit performances rather than just him being shit 😂

I don’t play soccer (or football) yet this video is still very entertaining to watch!

It’s about the breathability of the shirts. You’d produce more sweat in one of them and it won’t go away. So they’d absorb more sweat, but not because they’re more absorbent. Some puma shirts were like that though I don’t think they absorbed as much, they just didn’t let your sweat work

Hi, I just want to say I am a big fan and I want to ask u how do u do them cool tricks that u do.😀

Pretty sure Fellini didn’t buy his boots from a shop , they are specially made to his feet and would be nothing like what you by from any sports shop .

Kieran Brown has good skills in football and he looks handsome too 😏

the reason why many keepers don't wear the gloves (from experience) is because of how easy it is to rip the strapless end from its stitching even if you get the right size so its a waste of money

This is the first video I see from you and stumbled upon it, you seem to be pretty successful with the content creation, props for that. Though I really did think your comparissons and test aren't making sense at all
