i cant wrap my head around the fact that theres millions who havent seen this guy vids since he left fifa this guys a gem

One day, Vizeh just woke up and chose to start making the best content on youtube. Absolutely insane video yet again.

I’m surprised I never heard that Dynamo Kyiv story, that’s one of the best football stories I’ve ever heard and should be made into a movie, very very inspiring how they managed to show that defiance

The Peru disaster is just heartbreaking, as an English fan you see the likes of Hillsborough and the Bradford City fire disaster as some really dark days but nothing can compare to the Peru v Argentina Game

My god I actually had no idea about how deep football could get.This is a really interesting and informative video.well done Vizeh.

Used to watch this channel until I stopped playing FIFA in 2020, now back because of the new style of videos. Keep up the good work man. You're awesome at making this type of content

31:31 Also for the Peru disaster, there was a fan who ran onto the pitch before everyone else. The security responded by beating the man with batons brutally, in front of the whole stadium. This outraged the fans, and then the controversial referee decision just set them off. “We attacked, they defended and this continued until a play came where their defender went to clear - and our player, Kilo Lobaton, raised his foot to block and the ball rebounded into the goal - but the referee said it was a foul, so he disallowed it. This is why the crowd began to get very upset." one of the Peru players later said. Two spectators entered the field of play. The first was a bouncer known as Bomba, who tried to hit the referee before being both stopped by police and manhandled off the field. The second, Edilberto Cuenca, then suffered a brutal assault. “Our very own policemen were kicking him and beating him as if he were the enemy. This is what raised everybody's anger - including mine," one fan also recalled. While some fans who escaped from the stadium managed to open the gates and free those trapped inside, others became involved in a battle with armed police. The official number of those who died is 328, but this may be an underestimate, as it does not include anyone killed by gunfire. There are many eyewitness accounts of people dying of gunshot wounds, but the judge appointed to investigate the disaster, Judge Benjamin Castaneda, was never able to find the bodies to prove it.

I guess tragedy can strike easier when there is so much emotion put into a game

6:00 Funny Story i was born early bc of the 1998 WC final, my mother hated that french won. She got so mad that she started having contractions. A lot of pain and 2 days later i was born. 14th July 1998 on the French National Day xD.

Nicely done, Liam! For the Kanjuruhan Disaster segment I would like to suggest to you to watch Persebaya Surabaya's perspective on the whole event. Whilst most of the international community solely blamed police negligence for this tragedy, it is easy for us to forget that the disaster was a culmination of years upon years of toxicity within the world of Indonesian football. The Arema-Persebaya match is pretty much like West Ham-Millwall in England and the animosity was in an all-time high at the Kanjuruhan on that fateful day. Even before the match ended the Arema fans has been hurling verbal abuse at the Persebaya players and before the whole pitch invasion thing they threw rocks and bottles at the Persebaya camp, forcing them to leave the pitch immediately. Things were also out of control outside the stadium even before the Arema fans made their way into the pitch, with the armored vehicle carrying the Persebaya players being attacked and a number of vehicles being burnt and destroyed, including police vehicles. Safe to say the police was overwhelmed on that day and in such a state of panic they did things that they shouldn't have done with the tear gas. The stadium was also severely overcrowded as the match organizers sold more tickets than they should due to the intense nature of this rivalry potentially bringing them a quick buck. Long story short, was Kanjuruhan a result of police negligence? Yes, but it is also a result of unruly fans and a greedy club that was solely driven by profit without any shred of humanity in them. Arema and their fans actually got a lot of sympathy for the tragedy until Persebaya's video came out, which basically turned the entire nation against them. The fact that the police held themselves accountable (even though in the most bare minimum of sense) while Arema and their fans avoided responsibility for this whole thing infuriates the Indonesian football community until this day.

Wow vizeh nailing every god damn great topic that could be talked about in the football world ! You've been killing it big time in the last 2 months, let' go WE LOVE YOU !

Absolutely love these deep dives. Elite content, Vizeh! 🙌🏽

Love the vid! Some of these incidents remind me of what happened recently at a Liga MX game between Querétaro and Atlas on March 5th, 2022. A riot broke out between the fans and it got very messy. If you do a part 2 to this, this one would be a great one to add!

I can't believe the Cruyff one was only at the tip of the iceberg, that was scary as hell to think he could've got murdered completely changing the trajectory of the sport

Truly an amazing video, it’s videos like this that highlights the importance of KZfaq. I had never heard of the Estadio Nacional disaster until today. Liam, you are a legend and you need to make more videos like this. May all those who died in the disasters you talked about rest in peace

Your latest videos are quality, man. I was watching the game live, when Marc Vivien Foe passed away in that Confederations tournament in summer 2003. As a youth footballer at the time, that impacted me heavily.

legit one of best videos you’ve ever made. well researched and right tone. you’ve come a long way from your early fifa days. i hope to see more football related content like this

Been watching for a while and love your new style of vids bro. One of the first footballing channels I ever subscribed to and happy to see you still going strong. Supporting you all the way from Vermont USA.

Great video! There's also the tragic story of Miklós Fehér, the hungarian benfica player who died on the pitch and it's probably the saddest moment in Benfica history

I am learning new things every day from you. Thanks Liam for this

You've truly leveled up your videos. Love it. Been following for a few years now 😬💯

@vizeh , I think you forgot about Athletic Bilbao V Barcelona in the super copa. Maradona started absolutely beating the hell out of their players, Really hurting the goalkeeper.

Some of my older Peruvian family members told me about that riot, how they remember the exact day vividly and all. Just absolutely wild stuff man.

@ 14:15 to 15:05 the actual photage there is from a match in South African Premier Soccer League from October '98 between Moroka Swallow and Jomo Cosmos in Johannesburg. the score was 2 - 0 and yes nobody died that day. Unfortunately Cibi (with jersey no 10 ) died in 2016 from kidney related issues.

Part 2 should include a similar incident as the Gate 12 which occurred in Greece, the Gate 7 incident. The biggest tragedy in Greek Sports. In February 2nd of 1981, Olympiacos faced big rivals, AEK Athens for a championship game. The game took place at the old G.Karaiskakis stadium (not the new that you visited with Burnley away day). Olympiacos took an emphatic win against their rivals with a scoreline of 6-0. The fans where ecstatic but that unfortunately led them from joy to darkness... The fans wanted to move from Gate 7 to Gate 1 which it was close to the players, so they could congratulate them for the big win. The big mass of people moving in such small space caused a man in front to slip and fall to the ground. This slip caused a "domino effect", which led to massive body slamming and oxygen depletion, causing many causalities and serious injuries. The total record of casualties was 21 people and the injuries was 55+ people. A lot of them where very young too. Some of the survivors of the incident described it as "horror scene straight out of a movie". Every year it is being memorised from Gate 7 fans and Olympiacos players pay their respects in a statue made in their memory. I think it could be a very interesting topic to do your research and why not include in this series. Keep up the good work!!!

Another incredible video Vizeh. Your content really has stepped up a level. Very cool.

If you do another one of these: Alexandre Villaplane French captain at the first ever World Cup Got caught up with gamblers, received a ban but ended up going to prison One of his dark connections recruited him to the Nazis in occupied France, he was an SS officer and regarded as a bloodthirsty sociopath. When he saw the war was turning he started letting people go and making a big point of ‘sparing them’ in hope he would face trials for treason/war crimes. Didn’t matter Executed by firing squad Sandor Szucs Hungarian defender who would have likely played with the golden team at the 54 World Cup (where they lost in the final due to their lack of defending - among other things) Tried to defect to the west after hearing AC milan might be interested, was arrested at the border and later executed. Turned out the entire thing was a set up 1934 World Cup - Coppa Del Duce If you thought Qatar was controversial how about fascist Italy as hosts. They were meant to play a qualifier however their opponents Greece withdrew (not suspicious) there’s plenty of talks of the refs being under pretty clear instruction and the goal they score to beat the Austrian wunderteam (featuring Sindelar) they clearly foul the keeper. 1978 World Cup Argentina Again, if you thought Qatar was bad. Argentina was taken over by a Military dictatorship which proceeded to disappear thousands of ‘dissidents’. There’s been rumours the deciding group game Vs Peru was rigged (Argentina won 6-0 when they had to win by 4 clear goals). The final took place less than a kilometre from ESMA, which was where subversives were being held, tortured and killed. They could hear the cheers from the crowd in the stadium. 1974 World Cup Qualifier Chile vs USSR. Chile has just been taken over by a brutal Military coup in 1973, they immediately started purging the country of left wing citizens. The national stadium was being used as a concentration camp and carrying out executions. The USSR obviously wasn’t happy about this and refused to play. FIFA carried out an inspection of the stadium, the Chileans simply moved the prisoners and hosed down all the blood. FIFA said it was all good, USSR refused to show up. The match kicks off, Chile walk the ball into the empty net and are declared winners. German teams on drugs Now a fairly open secret the West Germany teams of the 50s and 60s took speed (Pervitin- given to the Wehrmakt in WW2 to allow them to go for hours without sleep) as a performance enhancer - this includes the 1954 World Cup final which they won. Ceasefire Massacre/World Cup Massacre Italy vs Ireland 1994 World Cup. A Ulster paramilitary group shot up a pub that they knew would be showing the game and would be full of Irish fans. 6 died 5 injured. Superga Air Disaster - before the Munich air disaster this tragedy hit the Grande Torino team, who dominated Italian football in the 1940s. Jewish managers who survived the Holocaust- Erni Erbstein (manager of Grande Torino) and Bela Guttmann who won 2 UCLs with Benfica, both were Jewish Hungarians who survived the Holocaust by various means but lost family members

These iceberg videos are awesome man! I'd love to see a LaLiga one in the future, considering its rich history. Keep it up!

Bro, it's crazy that I'm Peruvian and I live in Lima but I didn't even know about the Lima 1964 Football Tragedy. Keep uploading this kind of content, it's really entertaining and interesting!

The most disturbing experience i had in football has to be that france vs england game while there was the terrorist attacks in paris in 2015

Thank you for opening my eyes. It still astounds me that events such as these could even occur over what is literally a game. I am frightened but also thoroughly informed

These style of Videos are so good Vizeh. Long time fan I’ll always be watching your stuff but think this is my favourite style of videos you’ve done recently keep it up ❤️🙏🏻

Loving the context Viz and hey I recommend you take a deep dive into the death of Bury

ive never watched a soccor match before, or even played soccer tbh, so this was one of the most enlightening icebergs ive seen in a while. we definitely need a part 2

Liam , been watching your vids since you played fifa - very happy to see you grow and evolve as a content creator and person. Keep it up !

Love ya videos man. Appreciate the hard work👏

The Death Match was one of the most iconic football games, that Kiev team, especially in times like this when Ukraine faces war, continues to inspire and influence footballers. True heroes with true passion.

I really liked this video, Viz, I’m loving this new type of content it’s great🖤

Allright mate. I've followed you on twitter for a while, but only just discoverd your KZfaq channel. Im really enjoyed the research that went into this and your Mario Ballotelli video. Keep up the good work

Actually amazing video!! Can’t believe you went from lacazete fatal to this!! Well made and edited video and something unique in terms of the topic

i’ve been watching you since the dean marney days and i can’t believe these videos aren’t blowing up they are such high quality and really fascinating keep up the great videos mate

Your Videos Are Really Well Made! Keep them up

Loving the new style of videos that your posting

The supposed "big video". VIZEH la 🐐. Carrying Yt football

Nice vid....keep up the good works

brilliant video

great video, love your work!

Very good video mate, very well handled, keep up the good work

These stories are insane man, love this work Liam keep it up

Having learned a good portion of the iceberg through HITC Sevens, I have to say this is a well-researched well-produced bite-sized summary of each event

Absolutely smashing it with these documentary style videos mate, Alfie from HITC Sevens is the only comparable guy to you imo, and yous are both unreal with the amount of time and effort yous put into the videos. Much love brother, keep it up

Content like this deserves way more love very educational and eye opening great video vizeh ❤️

I knew a decent bit of these, which I was surprised about since I am pretty new to soccer, awesome video!

Started watching you during the Burnley Vlog days great to see your still making Class vids Keep it up man

finally a great football iceberg video! great work mate!

Great video Vizeh, if you decide to ever make another football iceberg video I suggest you'd take a look at polish football as there were many fan related incidents and a lot of matchfixing. Most of the corruption in the polish footballing piramid has yet to be covered by a english speaking media of sort. The most memorable scandel that comes to mind involed matchfixing a polish cup finale from 1998 between Amica Wronki and Alluminium Konin. The polish football sphere has more to offer and just by looking into it you could uncover some gems. Not even a while ago in a match between my local Lechia Gdansk and Akademija Pandev in the Europa Confrence League Qualifiers some hooligans stormed our ultras end and made a mess which almost led to lechia being kicked out of the Qualis. Anyhow I hope you get to read this as history of polish football deserves more regonition outside of Poland. Good luck going forward.

Haven’t seen your content in a while but ur new content is a different level keep up the good work

Amazing video

you should check out Graham Johnson book "Football and Gangsters". its 15 years old now and a lot of the younger generation wont be aware of a lot of the things discussed. Big names involved too, very intersting book.

You are really inspiring me with the types of videos you make. Thank you. You're a gem yet to be discovered.

bro I love vizeh so much man. so underrated and always bangers

this video is so amazing, i learnt SO much. Great video.

viz u a top man I'm so happy to see you enjoying yourself with this new format i wish you the best

loving this new type of content

I've only just got onto your channel the past 2 days , but I reckon this kind of content is your strong point !

What a w video bro. The amount of effort is crazy. I’ve learnt so much😂. Thx lol

Some of that was genuinely scary. Amazing video Liam ❤

Liam yourself and these vids are becoming a staple in my life. I can't thank you enough🙏

those Ukrainian players are heros, they had more reason to throw the games but instead decided to put their country ahead of their lives and win to lift their countries spirit. truly inspirational

Honestly some of the best content on KZfaq right now. The switch the the mini-doc style is brilliant and the research put into it is incredible, would love to see one made of the bradford city fire disaster around the time it happened (last game of the English season incase some don't know) as I feel like it's slipping away into obscurity and is really interesting on the horrific build up that led to the fire in the first place

Fantastic Content Vizeh keep this up my friend ..

i thought you were going to talk about the Chapecoense plane crash in 2016 since you put their jersey in the intro, really hope to see it in part 2, it's a really sad story and i think it deserves to be known worldwide

That USA win in 1994 correctly depicts ‘we won, but at what cost.’

love the new content vizeh!

Well done mate the, most humble KZfaqr out there keep up the great work

Great video Liam, incredibly interesting!

There is an iceberg method of going from most known to least known, maybe you can put the well known ones in the part 2 at the top of the iceberg. Great vid as always

loving the content recently

Marc Vivien Foe's death hit me hard. He scored the last goal scored by a City player at Maine Road. I remember just before it was knocked down, my Dad took me to there for one last walk-around and I went to read the graffiti. It was all tributes to Foe. He was so good. Lots of childhood memories

part 2 would be great love the content and i think this has a shout for vid of the year

To be fair, every side on kanjuruhan stadium disaster share the blame: the organisers for ignoring the police advice to reschedule the match and reduce the maximum spectator, the police for using tear gas and whoever the genius who decided to seal the gates, and the fans for forgetting that this is just a game

Fantastic video! Covered a lot of these topics myself but still learned things I didn’t know about a lot of them, look forward to seeing more!

as a colombian Im very happy you shed light in the teams though luckily teams have come back though most teams are in heavy debt, for example the team that just won the league, Deportivo Pereira are in 20 million USD in debt and are in serious contention to be dismantled

Love the vids so much. I can't lie ur the most entertaining KZfaqr at the moment. Keep it up Vizeh

This video was very well put together and entertaining

Amazing video as always.Thanks Liam.

Excellent video Viz on a real I really enjoyed it and I don’t comment much on vids

Great video, bringing out the truth is more important than the vast majority of people realize. Great work my friend

Really appreciate the new style of vids, think you've found your calling 😀, have you got a patreon Liam? Might be a good way to get community involved in ideas, discussions etc. Keep it up my friend 😀

Been waiting for this since stream

Vizeh , I am an old guy by KZfaq standards. But all you new videos have been quality. From FIFA player to serious documentary maker, good luck and continued growth and success.

The Kanjuruhan stadium tragedy still haunts most of us Indonesian football fans even until now 4 months later. Good video as always, Vizeh

The lightning strike DID NOT happen in the DRC, it was the South African PSL match between Moroka Swallows and Joni Cosmos. The story made headlines especially because players from Jomo Cosmos were unharmed and only Swallos players suffered including their star player who also played for the National team and he was never the same since.

What would have happened if Columbia DID host the World Cup in 1986

You are honestly the most UNDERRATED KZfaqr I have ever seen. Keep up the good work! 😊

This was very good and very interesting, please make another video similar to this one🙌🏾

Great video 👍

I really Like your new style of video’s a lot!

Loving the evoultion of your contnet vizeh.

The best football youtuber right now. Great video keep it up
