The South Koreans are calling what their team play "zombie football". They're worried that Son will quit the national team... they're also worried that Jürgen Klinsmann won't

Indonesia sneaking into the knockouts by shithousing a win against vietnam through a pen and flopping around for the entire 2nd half was the prime AFF experience

Honestly, I love your main channel videos but Zealandism ones have become some of my favourite content. I love the idea of you just sitting and talking with no cuts, no montage, no fireworks. Love it! Keep it up Z!

As a geo-nerd, Malaysia is in-fact where Zee pointed at on the first place, he wasn't lying at first, then he pointed at New Zealand, and that was an obvious lie.

Stan means land in several panguages, Zealand asking why so many countries have -stan at the end is like an Uzbek asking why New Zealand has -land at the end.

I'm hoping Z gets even more recognition so he gets brought on to do some official coverage of the 2026 World Cup, he would smash it!

The John Oliver approach to teaching geography

A few people are just great at talking. Zealand is one of them.

I actually adore this style of content, I love seeing Zealand laid back, going off script, just 100% waffle. Love you man, keep up the great work

man as an iraqi hearing zealand talking about ayman hussien is so surreal

Now as a German I wonder where was the Japan that beat us and spain at the freaking World Cup

Zealandism gave me life

Very weird how the hosts (Qatar) scored three penalties in the final 🤔

Just discovered this channel a few hours ago and honestly it has been a great late night binge. Also i don't know if this is intentional or not but i'm enjoying the fact that your talking about random shit going on across soccer as a whole and not just the premier league

I love that this was kind of just 20 minutes of you low key saying “I consider everywhere east of the Mediterranean, and west of Seoul to be a forgotten backwater”

Want to know why there were so many stans? Go ask Eminem

just seeing all those open tabs made my cpu explode, 2016 laptop gang represent!

Imagine an alternate universe where it’s was played (as originally planned) in China

vietnam sneaking into the Asian Cup and shithousing against Indonesia by not getting a single goal on target and flopping throughout the entire game was prime AFF experience

this is definitely my favorite channel of zealand’s. could listen to this man explain tax returns like this

For informatio, Jordan's top division is the Jordanian Pro League

Zealand why didn’t you mention about Syria? They literally did a utter miracle - they’re a war torn country and they got to the knockouts via beating India. Plus they gave the Aussies a fight for their money and only lost in the KOs to Iran on pens! They would have beaten Japan if they didn’t lose on pens. They’re amazing! Big up the Qasioun Eagles! Also Palestine were impressive and really gave these Asian Cup teams a run for their money too.

Amazing coverage, well done 👏🏽👏🏽 and respect to back 2 back champions Qatar

Zealand is Jomboy for just football and I'm here for it forever.

13:42 FIFA please fix Asian World Cup qualification so all the stans are in the same group lol 🤣🤣

hearing Z swear when you never watch on twitch is a crazy feeling

Insane football knowledge

I can't believe he forgot about Kazakhstan when mentioning all the stan natioo

after discovering this secondary channel and watching the latest videos, I think the ones like this particular one where Zealand gets more of a “meatier” topic to sink his teeth into end up as much better content than a 10 minute vid about a barely-2-minutes-worth curiosity of the day mainly pointing at the topics and approach more than the length to, I presume 10 min vids are obviously better for everyone

you know the video is about to go crazy when us see the amount of tabs:)

Stopping kids from saying first

Also fun fact: Much like Germany goes by Deutschland, India actually calls themselves Hindustan. So Pakistan not only counts but not all the Stan's were there.

Thats part of Malaysia, but population wise, quite a small part..... Its the Sarawak and Sabah provinces of Malaysia which account for about 20% to the countries population.... The other 25million or so Malaysians live on the peninsula 2 inches to the left of your arrow, which also includes Kuala Lumpur. Although you are not incorrect, its a bit like pointing at Hawaii and saying its the US...

This makes me lose faith in refs, just like Z makes me gain faith in runnin

We went from “Penalty for Argentina” to Penalty for Qatar.

Congrats, you did make me look up where Malaysia is as I was certain it was somewhere else. So good job there.

7:05 the fact that Indonesian do this with the youngest team in the tournament is kinda impressive. They genuinely doing the most f it we ball style and really, they don't have anything to lose. As you say they has been shit since time in memoriam. The fact that Indonesia go through the knockout is a miracle. And i as an Indonesian must savour it because its highly likely this is my last meal of Indonesian winning anything internationally in football. Because of course literally everyone want our coach who makes this miracle. And our football association is being halfassed about keeping him. The moment he went, is the moment Indonesia hope becomes a cope

Even though I know everything that happened, I stiil enjoyed watching this.

I hope Adler enjoyed his HoI4 session. Also great video Z!

I feel like you need to do a save in the Jordanian league now after this

You underestimate Saudi Arabia as if they are a second-class team because they do not have big names like other teams, despite the fact that historically and until now, Saudi Arabia has consistently outperformed teams such as Japan and Australia in the World Cup qualifiers and continental championships, and it is the team that has played the most Asian Cup finals, equal to Korea. It is the second team with the most wins in the tournament, one behind Japan

Excited for the AFCON recap

Uzbekistan played super well against Qatar too, but we are like England of Asia when gets to penalties, it’s our curse

bro really said we suck and we just have a tree in our flag

I think had AFCON not been on the same time as Asian Cup, I think I would watched it. The problem was I didn't know what it was on

explicit zealand is my favorite zealand

I saw the final and the Jordanian team definitely didn't get a few decisions in their favour, the last pen was only legit if Afif was onside, couldn't help but notice that decision was not shown on the screen. I'm glad some of the smaller footballing countries improved but the gap in quality was there for all to see.

Managed to succeed not to miss one Asia and AFCON game simultaneously. Never been happier in my life. I have a problem here! 😆

I forgot Gareth Bale existed before this video

Ironic a Floridian would call Tajikistan not a real country considering The Seminole Peoples resistance to settler colonizers.

Well...I mean, he's not wrong. That was Malaysia, except only part of it. The other half is across the South China Sea

Qatar with 3 pens nice

The manager looks a bit like Einstein......

I love this channel

Big ups Hong Kong!

Question - Which players in this tournament will be looked at in the transfer window? Not just the best players in the tournament but the players who showed they would be of use at some major clubs in football.

you honestly first got me but after a second i started doubting it and i was right new ZEALAND is not malaysia

Dude, Al Arab probably means "the arab" or something like that in arabic too

It feels so wrong having an american explaining football to me

this channel is great

I can't put my head around how China has BILLIONS of people and can't find 11 players who can actually play football

After all of the upsets and excitement both in AFCON and in the AFC, the fact that both host countries ended up being the champions feels quite anticlimactic...

I have no idea what Japan was doing, a team that beat Germany 4:1 lost to Iran in a very weak showing from Japan...

Are you going to make the afcon version of this

that is east malaysia.. you should've put the second arrow pointing at west malaysia (malay peninsula)

Wait, Bahrain isn’t just a place that Max Verstappen drives in circles at?

Here’s a spoiler spoiler people: As real as Qatars 2019 championship was, this was RIGGED, and no, not in a “because my favorite team won I’m saying this,” it was literally verified, confirmed, justified, WHATEVER, it was rigged, starting from AI usage on VAR videos/decisions, to the three, that’s right THREE penalties called in THE FINAL of the tournament.

SaudiArabia.exe

That's just East Malaysia...

INDONESIA MENTIONED RAHHHH GARUDA DI DADAKUUUUUUUUUUU

Why wouldn’t China let Hong Kong play? The special status of Hong Kong is fully recognized by China

All three Qatar penalties I think were deserved, but HOOOOOOW the hell did Qatar not get like 8 yellows with all those reckless tackles?

You really shoud make a video about the irony that happens at Schalke 04. As a german Schalke fan, I'd offer you some "Inside" Information if you planned to do such a vid

Ah yes, Malaysia is on the North Island of New Zealand....

did my boy just say count chocula scored for tajikistan?

Zealand cursed 😯😯😯

China’s nation team is like their military. No actual offensive capability

Lost against Indonesia who doesn't has any achievement even in the AFF region, Bottled the lead and 2 red cards wtf are we doing... I miss Sir Park Hang-Seo

I will admit Qatar definitely does seem like a generally good Asian team in terms of footballing quality but for me personally Japan has always been the top Asian team. So Japan for me is usually the favourite for Asian competitions but Iran and all those other teams can definitely give Japan a hard time. Australia is always disappointing for me as an Australian like they never really seem to try as hard as they can. Like only one Asian Cup win and One club has ever won the Asian Champions League in Australia and it's like our quality is never good enough to challenge the top Asian teams. We do need to start thinking about youth development and developing players that aren't goalkeepers. Matt Ryan and Mark Schwarzer were both our best players for their respective eras. We need a forward and a good midfielder, someone needs to step up and be the new Tim Cahill and the new Harry Kewell and we also need to get some defenders, the defenders have always been Australia's weak spot.

Tajikistan is a country

Why didn't you mention that Iran group where Palestine almost got second when they destroyed UAE but couldn't score their goal Or when UAE scored a last minute goal against Iran to clinch 2nd spot and change the trajectory of the whole tournament Or when Qatar clearly had the ref in their pockets

VAR cup

Your editor is doing a bad job at pointing Malaysia. While it is factually correct, but the main peninsula of Malaysia is on the left where their capital, Kuala Lumpur is located. South of Thailand, North of Singapore and sandwiched between Indonesia

Why can't China be in twice. The UK can be in Euros 4 times.

Iraq was my team throughout the tournament since singapore will likely never qualify, so i was pissssssed when they were basically screwed out of their win. genuinely belive that iraq would have beaten qatar in that final and that iraq would actually have made the ifinal like jordan did.

Disappointed in Australia's overall run. Losing to South Korea felt like a choke. It doesn't help our domestic league is in a mess right now.

The way you described China-Tajikistan makes it seem you didn't watch the match. It wasn't boring at all. Tajikistan created lots of chances while China had a VAR disallowed goal.

Went from one of the best tournaments in a while to the worst final I’ve ever seen. Absolutely pathetic final.

All the stans are here: Pakistan left the chat.

Hi zealand I'm a huge fan of you cheers from Lebanon By the way we are way better in basketball but we suck at football 😂

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!

I watched Every game much better then Afcon honestly.

Can’t believe you did the “This is Malaysia, no it isn’t, this is Malaysia” joke, and then returned to ‘no the 1st is Malaysia’, and you still were wrong, marking only half the country (missing the peninsula part and capital city etc).

Zealand curse worse than Drake

Jordan was robbed 🇯🇴 absolute nonsense of a final.

MALAYSIA MENTIONED🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾💯💯💯💯WTF IS A STABLE GOVERNMENT 💪💪💪💪

You didn't know his name before and you still don't it's Yazan al-Naimat

The afc was rigged

Zealand either NOT the geography god he thinks he is, or top level trolling. Malaysian Borneo is Malaysia... but not where most sane people, or Malaysians, would point to on the map. They would point to... Malaysia.

since people you favor in videos seem to always be cursed to lose it in the end, please. please please please dont make a video about Leverkusen until the end of the season
