This is the hilarious take on how most of the US views soccer, as seen in The Simpsons episode "The Cartridge Family" (season 9, episode 5). en.wikipedia.or...
That is interesting comments guys. Because of the Hollywood films a lot of people in Europe think that baseball is the most popular sport in the USA after American football, much more popular than my favourite basketball.
@@drewsmith4759 I think it'll be England - Italy in the final... I do not think you need to be scared of Spain... I feel like the English team really got into the tournament now and are fired up. More than Spain, Denmark could be just as fired up as they got surprinsigly so far, but at the end of the day they lack playing quality. Unless they pull a Switzerland, the win will be on the English side. Italy... Yeah, they're strong this year... but please don't let them win! D: ^-^' XD Go England!
Me being from Valencia, where Paella is from, I have to take the "Paella" depiction with humor, understanding the extreme ignorance of the writers haha. The ONLY thing they got right about Paella is there is rice on it, ALL the rest is wrong. First of all the ingredients are rice, green beans, broad beans, rosemary, saphron, ground sweet red pepper, and optionally artichoke and rabbit. Its also cooked in a wide flan pan, with lumber, so the broth evaporates leaving the flavour behind stuck on the rice, chicken and vegetables. In the end it is dry kind and kind of roasted, with a lumbery and rosemary flavor. It is served on a flat wide pan. So neither the way of cooking it, nor the ingredients, nor the texture, nor the serving is right, what they depict is nothing like paella hahaha. Second of all, Valencia is in the mediterranean in Europe, very close to France and Italy, so our skin is white and we are european. That person does not look at all like a person from Valencia xD, not that I have nothing against it. But for me, they way it feels, so that US people can understand as an american analogy, its as if they depicted american turkey as a pasta dish made with pork, and the person cooking it was an eskimo. And now imagine they call the pasta dish with pork, which the eskimo cooked, "typical thanksgiving American Turkey". This is exactly how it makes me feel as a Valencia. So they got everything wrong haha xD
@@ttgamer7760 it’s definitely not as boring as everyone says but it’s definitely not that entertaining, 90 minutes of kicking a ball around to have the score end up being 2:1, little to no action
What always gets me is how Willy and the lads were sitting there enjoying the match. They only go upset with how bad the riot was. The fact they came prepared with a pipe and such shows you that it’s not their first football match either.
This game is an accurate depiction of the match between Germany and Austria at the 1982 world championships. Germany took an early 1:0 lead and both teams just stopped trying to score any more goals because the result meant both would advance, depriving Algeria from a chance to either overtake Germany (in case of a draw or Austrian win) or Austria (if Germany won by 2 goals or more).
EVERY Footballer does. They pretty much spent MORE time advertising and whoring out for every kind of product than actually kicking a damn ball on the field. lol
@Star Wars III "nobody outside Brazil even remember him. Maradona is a far-far bigger legend to the rest of the world." For anyone who doesn't follow soccer he's the only soccer player they know.
@@jax1026 it's funny because you've been learning to speak English since you've been in diapers and you're still trash at it. I'll bet you work at taco bell and complain that they don't pay you $15 an hour for it. Yeah. I want fries with that server boy. I don't care if it's 10 minutes until closing time. Make me some food, and make it snappy. Remember to smile.
@@WeirdOne19142 A bro chill the f out It's just a RU-vid comment section You a Grammar nazi Also I don't support 15 dollar minimum wage I believe that it prices out younger people just trying to get into the work field
And all the RU-vidrs are pretending like it's the best competition ever. Like literally France haven't scored a goal in open play and they're somehow in the Semi-Final 💀
@@juanala3 This is neither Mourinho nor Guardiola. Guardiola's football has always been progressive that has scored a bunch of goals. This looks like a parody of Van Gaal's Man Utd, constant side to side passing that passes for 'philosophy'.
@@nicoragua1816 My grandfather is Irish and my grandmother is English, both refer to it as soccer, I think most people from Europe do if they're in North America as it's well known even to them that football is used to refer to American/Canadian football
@@ianlaswick9505 "Soccer" is actually a truncation of "association football", which itself was coined in the UK but its use in its birthplace is less common than in the US for obvious reasons.
@@josephdunn3757 Never thought he was Caucasian or anything, maybe I don't give those kind of "classifications" importance, at least not for thinking that much about them, and why did you think I thought Kent Brockman was Caucasian?
actually in all fairness.... american football IS the most boring sports ever, they don't even play, they are waiting some shit and there is ads every seconds and then there is a dude who runs and we can't even see the fucking ball. Just look how fat are the players, it's a proof that they do nothing. Football it's 90 minutes of pressuring, running, tackling, these boys lose all their fat in 1 game because they are actual athlets.
Dude we can also get an american football player in a football game and he would do nothing, i didn't say it was an easy sport, i said it was boring, idiot.
I think if you’re too young or not from the US you might not catch the reference in the “OPEN WIDE FOR SOME SOCCER!” part at the beginning. In the 90’s when ABC used to do Monday Night Football they’d have this guy with a cowboy hat and glasses sing a country song that would go “ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!” in the same tone. Simpsons was the best show back then lol.
As an English man who has grown up with football (soccer) every day of my life. This is absolutely brilliant really funny and pretty accurate lol. The commentary is the best thing about this. As nations who widely follows football commentators are really over enthusiastic. And over sale everything 😆.
@@marks.3303 Er... they're in Springfield, mates. I guess it's rather a reference to internment camps for Japanese Americans during WW2 (yes, you had your internment camps too, in case you didn't know...).
Yeah but those weren't in stadiums. Most likely it refers to both the Japanese internment camps of WW2 in US and the Latin America twist to have them in football stadiums
Euros have always been like that bro. CR7 single-handedly brought life back to football in 2016 and since then u guys thought the Euros were better than the copa america xD
Wow, the few times I've tried to watch american football or baseball, I was like: "why are they stopping all the time? What's with the coach stopping the game? What the fuck is this? Do the players actually do something?"
@@RubyDoobieScoo Not really. Indeed, it's continous action, "scoring" is not the same that action, and that's the beauty of the game, the continous action. Baseball and American football has a lot of scoring but no game at all.
@@saidtoshimaru1832 it's continuous but it's tedious and boring. A marathon is also continuous, it's not exciting though. I watch Rugby, it has the action of American Football, just without the ad breaks.
@@RubyDoobieScoo You don't understand the beauty of the sport. But it's OK, I suppose people in the US see things in a different way. What you can't deny is that few people (beyong people from the US) care about the NFL or Baseball, while Football is a worldwide passion. It's hard to believe those millions believe the game to be tedious.
And once again the Simpsons predicted the future. The play depicted was almost shot for shot the opening of the US-England game in the World Cup last week.
