couldnt agree more.

Good point. I agree totally. Almost needs 2 seperate comments sections. 1 about the video and another for future ideas

It's the peoples channel

Riku Väyrynen fancy him or something?

Suomi

Totally agree

Agree bro, greetings from India here. Stay safe bro

Great video and great post, completely agree with you. Love from Ireland bro

Totally agree. Africa has been horribly exploited and ridiculed by the West for so long.

I’m a middle eastern and I AGREE

Agreed! It’s more than “just” a game.

Agreed, although I said this on another hitc sevens video recently and got someone in my inbox moaning about "SJWs" and "Karens" in football 😛

Contrabanned fuck em mate

An idea for a future book maybe.....

@@vankallahan59 no thanks they smell of stale sweat and warm Doritos

Completely agree

He should collaborate with Tifo Football, that's a match made in heaven for us soccer nerds.

aramesh428 you had me up until you said soccer 😂😂 but yeah that would be a great video

@@RiZERiZERiZE stop being distracted my meaningless linguistic drift (created on the right hand side of the Atlantic, actually). It goes nowhere.

mate he doesn't even talk about the "dark truth" this is clickbait as fuck

yup i’m congolese

It always makes me sad simply to hear Congo because I had to make a presentation on it for my History of Africa and Ghana course at NAFTI so I learned so much and saw so many horrible pictures. I hate the fact that Leopold II died without paying for his crimes.

I learned about what happened to Patrick Lumumba and it makes my blood boil

Yes, so we can have cheap smartphones. DRC has 90% of coletan world reservres, which is used to make cellphones, satellites or computers. In other world when you buy a smartphone there is 90% of chances of it being a blood cellphone, chances that people died so the price of it can be affordable

is it not a sad belgian story?

its congo now

@Sean Tottenham you spelt it wrong again

Blame the USA and Belgium for installing a dictatorship in Congo when they assassinated the democratically elected PM Patrice lumumba

@@watisoninata5150 That's the problem in Africa Westerners will do everything to have your natural ressources

In reality, this isn't just about dictatorship; Most people around the world are threatened with loss of liberty through law , but the masquerade has become so deep that we do not see the slavery.

He really is the only one who comes close is Reymar no one else has such engaging videos

@@JohanCruyff-the-Dutch-GOAT Raymar is nothing compared to Alfie

Battist Oberhößel I said Reymar only comes close that’s basically nothing

@@JohanCruyff-the-Dutch-GOAT You all are forgetting Tifo football

What is GOAT?

I remember the commentary by John Motson: "Well what on earth did he do that for?!" Now I have my answer.

Was he the guy that's was shot dead afterwards?

@Seatown Fan I believe the DVD was produced by FIFA, so you'd have hoped they'd be aware of the context before putting it in a 'funniest ever own goals' compilation

The truth may be dark, but it’s better than blissful ignorance.

@@ajbw04m48 Clearly in this instance it means they paid for the commission of the work and pocketed money off its sales, but no one watched it. Quite common before the era of reputational risk and social media. Effectively youtube videos have higher production values than many 90s football vhs tapes.

AJBW04 -Horrific and tragic!

It had to be renamed because Zaire does not rhyme with Um Bongo.

And typically for the corrupt continent of Africa DR Congo is not even a REAL doctor.

@@who9387 These people sold eachother and blame it on the White men, still sell eachother (NOT to White men anynore) but still blame the White men. Make that make sense.

@@who9387 Cardano now makes even more sense.

@@davidlonhol8016 I guess you don’t class CIA as ‘the white man’ then

That was due to Colombian Drug Cartels and their 'friendly' wagers on the WC..Which is equally as dark i guess

RIP Andres Escobar

@@FoodFolksandGuns Hey, man! Thank you very much for mentioning his name...! I was too young in the 90's to remember. Andres Escobar, Rest In Peace...!!! :(

Apparently the guy who shot him yelled "Goal" after killing him. Indeed a very sad and gruesome act.

@@sumedhgarimella6024 What? Really??? That's so disgusting! Nobody should die that way. As a young football fan i was totally shocked! I'm German but this whole thing in Colombia was really touching...! I could never forget what happened to Andres Escobar...!

But then a lesson from your favourite teacher.. Impressive stuff.

@@RS-zp1we very informative and entertaining

well all I needed to know was that he kicked it because he didn't know the rules, the rest of the video was pretty pointless so yeah...

@@ghjklkop7868 i bet 1000 ur caucasian 😂 funny how i got it right huh ?

@@ghjklkop7868 you just watched a whole video why it wasn't that and you're going with your preconceived racist notions. You're a disgrace

An amazing achievement, for sure, but that does mean that they also *had* the worst-ever outbreak of Ebola. It could only happen in a country where large swathes of the population lack access to basic sanitation.

Just to keep stealing its resources, same as many places around the world, where instable situations are still existing.

@@nidalq1987 and then, when they are truly poor and with no actual structure, give then democracy (but not too much nor anti-imperialist elected politicians), watch the country try to walk with a severed throat and wonder why they are "stupid" enough to choke on their own blood, forgetting who severed their throat

Yes, you're very correct

Lumumba was genuinely a good guy too. He just wanted his country treated fairly by western powers and to have a political system of the people’s choosing. But MY GOD, a system that is slightly left of centre??? That must mean EVIL COMMUNISM and necessitates a killing spree 🙄

@Ricardo Leonardo I studied the Scramble for Africa at university. The word ‘bankrupt’ wasn’t even a word that made sense before Leopold got his dirty hands on the place and killed 10 million people. The Belgians weren’t communist, Lumumba wasn’t a communist and neither was Mobutu 🤷‍♂️ The Soviets had a little involvement during the Congo Crisis but Capitalist Western countries have been exploiting the Congo since the late 1800s and continue to do so to this day. Everyone who has an iPhone owns a little piece of the Congo. Probably thanks to some impoverished kid being paid next to nothing to dig the coltan out of the ground. I very much doubt it is communism forcing him to do it 🙄Maybe you can enlighten me and give me a different explanation??? 🤷‍♂️

Most people don’t even know about this

They said when Africans emerged in The 1970's...." Just you wait. We are learning FAST and will be REALLY competitive by 2000 and win it by 2020....." Still waiting and though there have been some fine individual players like George Weah/Drogba etc they are further away than ever.....

Fair point as my friends Brunswick,Gordy and Vee Jay agree.... ps:Do you get the reference, my friend ? :)

@MrNorthernSol You are racist you just wont admit it

@MrNorthernSol Racist people always try deny it aswell your probably All Lives Matter arent you?

@@Isleofskye They did win it by 2018. That French team was basically an African conglomerate lol.

His first match and where they are now

Jamerson Grimes would be interesting. I wonder where he was playing back then.

AKINA AKINA AKINAFENWA IS NOWWWWWW INFORRRRMMMM

Sure it would go like this Shit Wycombe player KSI makes him a meme Still a shit Wycombe player

@@magnussankaran1097 ????????

*minnows

Same thing happened to republic of ireland were shit now

Where to start with Scottish football...a determination to breed and coach strong players that are good at hoof and chase football ahead of actual youngsters with talent for whole of the 1990s probably kept scotland playing 80s style football well into the new millennium. The SFA is not fit for purpose and is a corrupt old pals act.

Even with great players, still underachieved in '86

Still have players from Arsenal and Liverpool

quoting bob dylan is old. the times they are a changing

Shift Maybe. But don't think twice about it, it's all right!😅😅

I also had a few, Own Goals and Gaffes, More Own Goals and Gaffes, and Danny Dyer's Football Foul Ups

At the time watching it live, I thought the player had reacted to the referee's whistle. believing that a Brazil player had already touched the ball, but not so as it turns out.

Please subscribe I think “supported by United States” and “Cold War proxy” can imply this. But still, that extra detail would’ve been useful.

@@lewatoaofair2522 Not just cold war politics but to plunder congolese minerals .

He mentioned it,you might have missed part that he said Mobutu enjoyed backing from Amerikkka,Belgium and France .They all called for assassination of Patrice Lumumba the democratically elected leader.

Well that's how things go and not limited to Africa. The US actually delivered the fuel that enabled the German Reich to attack its neighbouring countries. They made world war 2 happen without knowing about the high price they were going to pay. But wait, those weren't the millionaires and politicians who suffered, just dispensable stupid people got shot on the beach. The US have been involved in the generation of so many wars. Wasn't it Mrs.Albright who practically invited Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait? The entire media war including crying diplomats daughters etc., financed or approved by the US. I really did not sympathize with Hugo Chavez. But after Bush left the UN meeting it really smelled like sulfur in the UN building for days. It's not the average manipulated Americans who are the problem though.

@@arnotheel9163 Thanks for the info,I will look it up to get more details the story.We keep learning everyday.

I'm from Yugoslavia,I was 13,and everybody(me included) thought it was frustration and that he maybe even tried to hit brazil players with the ball. This is the first time I hear the theory "he was stupid". Really stupid theory and explanation.

@@ms-jl6dl It wouldn't surprise me if this "he was just stupid" suggestion was never actually a mainstream idea, but was instead blown out of proportion later by people who obsessively look for things to call racist, to show "how racist people in the past were."

Thanks Sam, and don't worry, I was right there with you, along with thousands of others.

Great performance by any team! They won through better conditioning while being underestimated by their opponents. Were it not for Eusebio, they might have gone further.

Then thumped by Czech and oot they go...

Congrats, Scotland have won the "0-0 against England" Cup

@@helgelorenz7187 No, congratulations. This English person called Scotland "the laughing stock." England could only draw with the "laughing stock"

IrishLassie2017 but that would not be a xi he chose bc there is only 1 players that have the most own goal in that position

Surely this deserves a reply. He can’t ignore this forever.

Day 61 of being an arse. Grow up.

Eder scoring for Portugal in Euro 2016

He was decent in Netherlands Andy Wender in my opinion. But to be honest every National final in the last decade has players like that to score(excluding Iniesta)

The Tahitian player who scored against Nigeria in the 2013 Confederations Cup

You are right but I am a 66-year-old Londoner and almost every time you hear about a Black Country or person in Africa there has been a Dictatorship or mishandling of Aid money or War and it never seems to change and the insane thing even in Western Society is the more they are impoverished ( particularly of Jamaican antecedency ) without a Father around offering emotional,practical and financial support like West African parents and Jewish,Asiatic and Chinese then the more children they have................which makes them even more impoverished. If the poor Mother cannot feed 2 children then how can she feed 3,4,5 or more. ???

@@Isleofskye well that makes sense. You was probably a teddy boy back in the day when life actually mattered 4 u lol.

@@Isleofskye well all these dictators were approved by western countries . And the colonial things that happened was cruel and also not to mention gold oil.diamond metal and all minerals africans r killed for to this day
