How Forlan Went From FLOP To World Cup LEGEND In 1 Year 

Yeah not buying that. Ain’t no way you get to play at that top level and being that good without loving the sport to a degree

@@ghostirq Mexico’s Carlos vela doesn’t like the sport lol he said it numerous times that he prefers basketball. Before you say how dare I compare vela to forlan which is understandable! Although vela at one point in La Liga was voted too 3 players in the league the two above him were messi and Ronaldo so impressive. He never really liked playing for Mexico either and didt give it his all when he was clearly talented. He played alongside griezman in Real Sociedad

@@ghostirq Andre Agassi, one of the best tennis player ever, absolutely hated the sport. Lmao. Quote: “I play tennis for a living, even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion, and always have."

@@TheBobes that quote is very out of context mang

@@fredymendez855 Carlos Vela never got as good as Forlan...also look at the way Forlan celebrates goals (he loves that shit)

dont worry whole world loved him as well :)

He had asked Adidas for the WC ball prior to the competition, and arrived to South Africa and the only player who mastered the ball already.

James Rodriguez?

🤭🤭🤭

Kashavacha ,,,he gave us spectacle in 2010 world cup although I noticed him for the first time in 2002 world cup Korea/Japan a prolific goalscorer in wc 2002 he scored a goal vs Senegal I was 8 years old and I watched that ,,,his masterpiece of a free kick vs Ghana in wc 2010 was incredible ,,,,,I like mostly Sebastian Washington Abreu (El loco ),,,,greetings from Congo , Uruguay is a land of football but I support Argentina ,peace

alright

Imo that’s Romario without the hard work but Diego Forlan is prolly up there

@@bradmup2543 But Romario is considered a GOAT AND he's a World Cup winner. Forlan is someone this generation doesn't really remember like that, sadly

@@qkomodo9098 I'd say depends on who you ask. Most fans have at least come across one wondergoal of his somewhere

@@reintaler6355 I blame Fifa lol

What he did to SA in 2010 world cup can never be undone, the guy was a beast during that world cup

@Oscar Lepe facts he was a beast back then :P

He had asked Adidas for the WC ball prior to the competition, and arrived to South Africa and the only player who mastered the ball already.

@@hizmartyn8957 that is so irrelevant. You ain't going to do the things he did without skill.

@@danwelterweight4137 definately but he stood out in 2010 more.

Technically he isn't a flop though from the fans perspective than the media. United fans will always have fond memories of him scoring against Liverpool and Chelsea and proceeding to take off his shirt in celebration. He had passion and played for the club. To this day, United fans still sing about Forlan. Despite the lack of consistency, United fans still love him.

Never mentioned him been a flop

@@ghostchilli8022 ik that, bro. I meant in general, the media did etc.

@@ThisIsMyRodrick ah, yh ok, I get you, yh a lot called him a flop, but I go back to him not having the game time, or confidence from fergie for that playing on him. Any how, great guy, glad he kept his promise to his sister and kepf the Forlan name in football an not tennis. I mean grass an white lines but fk me it gets boring quick

@@ghostchilli8022 either way, he gave United fans some fond memories, he is a cult hero in their eyes. I do agree, he needed more game time though.

I can only think of the toe of cassillas blocking Arjen robbens shot 🥲

@@Koen030NL Should have scored, wasn't his day

@@deepzyoti13 it’s the closest the Netherlands have been to World Cup glory 🥲. Will probably never forget it.

Master of the Jabulani

Netherlands vs Spain was my fav wc final simply for the fact that both never won a wc at that time, so as neutral fans, we were all so eager to know which country will be the new champions

They're 2 not 3

This guy even played in india in the ISL and at an retiring age he was fun he showed the young egotistic players that football is played in a fun way with the most compitative mind he have a impact in the INDIAN football as he taught a younger self of Indians to compete and enjoy the game Before that Indians just showed anger on every time they steps on the pitch

What can i say, this mans a legend wherever he go, i think he assisted our first ever Asian Champions legaue goal (it was a pass before a screamer but still)

And making the scousers cry

I am one of the one old enough to see him play before he is popular. I saw him i think this guy is good. Always target the top corner. Always play like last 5 minute. But he Didn't score, just his shots really good. About 30 game he still not a starter because united has van nistelrooy and solsjaer. Also something's scholes also moves to backup striker. I know he is not a flop because that situations and unlucky

That shirt incident although completely harmless, is the reason players now get a yellow card for removing their shirt during a match. It was his 2nd goal for Utd, his 1st was a penalty. He scored a screamer and quite rightfully celebrated with joy. Couldn't untangle his shirt, the ball came close to him. Still full of adrenaline after his big moment, he started playing with his shirt in his hand. The ref blew the whistle, despite it harming nobody and only being somewhat amusing. The FA decided such a thing couldn't happen again, and introduced yellow cards for the removal of shirts. They punish passion for the game. The rule writers are that sad!!!

Highly impressive no question about it.

Can't forgot that hattrick. And also a red card in semifinal 1st leg🥺🥺

@@iamlaksh6389 I still believe that if Forlan acted a bit more mature and got through the 2nd leg, Mumbai City FC would easily March to the final and eventually win it. 🙂

who watches indian leagues? trash league 😂

I literally searched him to relive the year 2010 again😎 Man is goated.

I am currently using him fc mobile alongside puskas can score bangers for fun ​@@letlhogonolokolberg772

Never understood that transfer. To me it's a scheme to laundering money.

I hope man we need him rn against city

not gonna happen lmao

@@mrsexo time shall tell

@@winter...3004 nope, not gonna happen

We are gonna crush you 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

That won't happen but maybe yall will beat em by 1 or 2 goals

@Bdawg Madeira who did he win the champions league with ? I remember him at blackburn

@@cryptocsguy9282 Porto with mourinho

@@cryptocsguy9282 lol I remember him at west ham 🤣
