We Need To Talk About Germany's World Cup Protest 

Ha ha…I mean Ja Ja…yo también soy mexicano…y esta mamada me saco una carcajada.. 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

So brave

Hahaha

Mexico should learn from Italy. Italy hasn't lost a match in the last 2 world cups 😎

Sure, you have to be brave to support a foreign based coup agaisnt your own government...

@@rayden1387 yeah you do, what’s the point you’re trying to make 😂

@@rayden1387ah yes Iranians standing with the women against oppression is a foreign conspiracy

@@rayden1387 well duuuuuh. What you trying to prove?🤣

@@rayden1387 What an idiotic comment? Are you stupid? Why am I asking? Of course you are.

In fairness Germany have a 0% success rate at world cups when they cover their mouths

its just a fact . their heads are clearly away

@@LauftFafa GEeman team has been absolute shit for 5 years at least

@@mats7492 when you are that weak you dont act that way . maybe france or brazil would have sent a message but am sorry this german team for years is playing worse than asian or north african teams and those are ranked 30 to 20 world wide . so yeah those who are weak but still have a big mouth do have a naming . even germans hated them for acting this why while being so weak on the pitch . it made peoples think they were ready to fight for a different cause but not for their national flag colors

@@LauftFafa, So you can't stand up for what you believe in because you're not playing good football? What do those things even have to do with each other? The issue they were protesting had to do with human rights. Not anything that went on on the pitch. The only relationship between the 2 is the location. That's it. Their skill is completly irrelevant to their protest. "It made it seem like they're willing to fight for other causes but not their national colors" They put their hands over their mouths for 5 seconds lol. On the other hand they played 3 games over 90 minutes long for their country at the biggest football competition on the planet. The former could be done by first graders and requires zero effort. The latter on the other hand, requires years of practice and sacrifice, and weeks of pre tournament preparation, as well as a ton of physical effort and being able to mentally cope with loads of preassure.

They are good enough to qualify comfortably, at least on paper. They have recent champions league winners in gnabry, muller, rudiger, neuer, kimmich, havertz, etc. And they have a manager who won the UCL. It’s the players’ attitude on the pitch that cost them. They started well enough against japan, but after scoring, they looked lazy, thinking the game was already won. Just look at rudiger mocking asano in the game against japan. They only started threatening after conceding the second goal. Then they managed to concede 2 goals against costa rica, who had a total of 2 shots in the tournament before facing them, before scoring the 3 goals. They have the quality, just not the right attitude.

These are the same people who keep saying politics and football shouldn't mix, yet they say Germany got knocked out cause of politics. Absolute flip floppers

you are trying to reason with people that genuinly think that "sky man said in a book" is a legitimate political argument, you will never win

It is very simple: Germany went to Qatar with an agenda, not to play football.

True but it’s very possible that their focus on these issues distracted them from preparing properly. Also I am not convinced that every single player on the team wanted to do this because people have very diverse political opinions, so it was actually a bullying tactic of them to pressure them all to do this

as he should be,the guy is as annoying as thogden

Then why do you watch his videos gang?? Lmaoo

​@@londonisforeverblue1022so why are you watching?

@@archstanton6102 because he has the right to watch whatever video he chooses to watch, you dummy

@@abstraqtphilosophy7357 If you are watching only to whine and complain, them I question the logic of doing that? Where did I say he couldn't watch or didn't have the right to watch. Perhaps you should focus on comprehending English before commenting?

^^

like UEFA's bigoted behaviour against eastern european teams and nations? why are uefa referees so bigoted themselves? and then we're racists and a nation of racists when a romanian referee said "ăla negru" which means "the black one", and he was almost suspended because uefa can't fucking understand that other languages have different terms. very surprising that we're bigoted apparently against you when you are against us and give us all a bad name

or maybe people and children especially don't want to know about two dudes taking it up the ass?

I have nothing against the message that Germany was trying to send, but you really aren’t gonna get anywhere by protesting LGBT rights in a country like Qatar, it’s unfortunate but I don’t see that country changing anytime soon no matter how hard you protest. I’m more sad at the fact that these players and teams aren’t protesting for the migrant workers that died to build the stadiums they’re playing in

@@bababababababa6124 facts like what is the point of protesting it in the Middle East… I know there are LGBT people there but they probably make up about 0.0001% of those countries populations 😂most people there probably don’t even know what it means 9 times out of 10 you’ll just get mocked for it like Germany did

My 4 years out prediction about Germany this time: Not sure about the team, but I will not be surprised if Joshua Kimmich gets a chip on his shoulder that drives him to get even better, thanks to his sub-par (for him) play in this tournament, and he comes back to win the golden ball in 2026.

What does 1/6 refer to?

man, why are people spreading conspiracy theories about on-pitch performance influencing football results, when it's clearly what the teams do during the team photo that is the defining factor.

@@thecrimsondragon9744 gonna guess he's referring to the Barcelona comeback against PSG

@@1998Cebola Right?! Going around foolishly thinking that complex mathematical theorems predicated on numeric values ascribed to wins, losses and draws will ever be understood by the laypeople. Pffsh! It's like, dial it back a little, Pythagoras, do I look like Will Hunting to you? Just tell me which no-no words they said --- or didn't say --- and we'll get on with our lives.

Do ur research mate, before spreading misinformation! Özil stepped down as an international after the 2018 World Cup and spoke out for the Uyghurs in China in December 2019. Arsenal were the ones distancing themselves publicly from Özil, due to their connections to China. The DFB and Germany have absolutely nothing to do with. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Ahh you see the problem is, what you’ve just said is bullshit 😂

@@osiand9328 I don’t care either way I think that conflict is stupid. I’m just stating the fact that is his comment is a crock of shite

@@wanderingartifact6087 no but why partial human rights?

But what do footballers actually know about these issues? I bet if you actually asked them to articulate their thoughts all you would get is regurgitated cliches and lots of “eeerrrm” They should just focus on playing football and keep politics out of the game, they are footballers after all, not intellectuals

greetings from germany! my money is on brazil in winning the cup this time!

👏👏

But germans are robots!

@@hmu05366 Not sure if you need to be an intellectual to think homosexuality shouldn't be a crime, or that women should be allowed to make decisions for themselves. People say keep politics out of sports but sports have always involved politics.

Probably the American media as well.

I doubt most of the media know anything about football anyway.

@@andyukmonkey Certainly true in America, they only care about football when its the world cup. I assume some people within the media elsewhere (England, EU, parts of africa and south america etc.) support teams and follow football it just depends on their role if they get to talk about it.

Maybe if they were homophobic they’d have scored their chances, totally it’s the lgbtq agenda that made them finish bad😤😤

True... their only and fatal mishap were those 20 minutes where they allowed Japan to score twice and couldn't mount a comeback. The rest of their participation was fine and should've been enough to advance to the knockout stage.

They were pretty rubbish in the first game, after that they looked like a decent team. Don't think they need to panic, just need to grow a decent striker from somewhere...still gutted they pinched Musiala off us, he really does look like the real deal

@@bagpussmacfarlan9008 I disagree completely. They were superb in the first half against Japan, had a dodgy 20 minute spell, and finished just as strongly. They dominated most of the game, created a series of good to great chances, and just missed them all. It was probably their best performance, but for the awful shooting.

this is happening for 5 Years now This ain't luck anymore Musiala, Gnabry or anybody would have burried these chances for their clubs teams but for Germany they don't have to confidence anymore

I can do it for you in 3 words. No Center Forward

@@96wtfomg One word efficiency > Shite

but the goal stood because the ball didn't actually cross the line.................

Same reason why alot of teams were underwhelming this world cup. Only 1 week of preparation because it is mid season

Lack of trust from the coach in Füllkrug and a very shaky defensive line

What about him?

Whataboutism

freedom of speech is not freedom of criticism, why do self proclaimed free speech warriors not get that?

Ozil never sing the German national anthem while playing for Germany but when he was playing for a Turkish club he sing the Turkish national anthem. Ozil never saw himself as a German he just wanted to play for Germany because they are a better team. Ozil disrespected Germany many times but they took it as granted Ozil don't have a brain why he brings religion into football and there are other Turkish players like Gundogan and Khedira who never complaint about such things in Germany

Well he was told not to bring politics into to football which is fucking ironic 😂😂

Duh, armbands don't restrict blood flow

Lol is that supposed to be sarcasm. Because it was poor one . I mean Morocco, Senegal etc did qualify or are you dreaming ?

Germany : 4 times wold champions being compared to Qatar and Saudi Arabia... Stay off the weed

@@ASK-ko9qxno that was supposed to debunk the point that a small act against discrimination is somehow the reason for Germany’s failure. Anyways Germany played pretty well, just bad at finishing. Were among highest in xG stats in the group stages even

I'm sorry to tell you pal but 80% of all countries are homophobic.

Well, thanks for displaying your naivety. As a guy who in Qatar for eight days for the WC, I can confidently say that Alfie is full of 💩

It’s almost as if it was mocking because people expected Germany to win too.

lol, and you believe that do you?

@@kevinb9830 r/whoosh

Two very unrelated things, but ok

@@smittenthekitteninmittens2679 nope, family initials.

Dead joke

@@OliverLivesey28 Keep crying gays 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the World Cup promoted football itself in the Middle East.

Lgbt is a bigger topic in every day western world, than Palestine. Why wouldn't it get more attention?

@@gb2983 exactly, because for the west, lesbians and gays not being able to makeout in public and drink alcohol is much more important than children dying in plaestine for no reason.😂 Fucking hypocrites man😂😂😂😂

@@aligatore9214 I dont make the rules man. Lgbt rights is western culture. Being anti lgbt is an attack on that. Human kind throughout history (all of it not just the west) values its culture, generally above its people, and even moreso people outside of it. In that sense its only as hypocritical as everything anyone else has ever believed in over something else.

that wasnt even an lgbt flag, it was a peace flag

@@gb2983 Yea man, establishin the rights of 2 guys fukin each other is more important than people getting killed. Why y'all were so sympathetic with Ukraine then? Shakhtar Donetsk's owner even wanted Iran out because of their countries government. But the Iranian players gave the bravest protest in this World Cup

your point?

Except being the worst team on the tournament.

except the thousand dead immigrant workers, the humuliation of basic human rights... yeah did nothing wrong those qataris didnt they

@@soundscape26 touché 😂

I don't understand the issue because Germany didn't wear the armband and so, they followed the law perfectly. The covering mouth gesture is part of freedom of speech and wasn't prohibited by the law or is there no freedom of speech in Qatar?

Western countries claim to be multicultural and have conceded any sense of "our culture" through their rampant colonisation. Qatar is a strict Islamic state that while having mostly expats (altho not citizens), does not acknowledge itself as a multicultural state. Hence it is stupid to ban such items of clothing.

i’ve never even thought about it like that, thank you. that’ll be an argument i’ll bring up when people try to justify their blatant homophobia by masking it with religion

@@cbh14 I am wondering why religions evolve in the ways they do and why certain religions always seem to get defensive about clearly wrong actions. Anti LGBTQ and womens rights for Islamic faiths and Invading everybody they view to be inferior and forcibly converting/demonizing other religions and peoples for Christianity.

The thing is half of the people in Western countries think their own rules are racist and shouldn't be respected. It's not a one to one comparison when the values of one culture are deliberately being undermined by idiots.

I haven't either, aside from the part in this video where Alfie paints Japan's LGBTQ record a bit too favourably.

Agree. This discussion about One Love etc is ridiculous. It's here to divide the society. I have been socialized 40 years ago, we gave a shit about gay or whatever.

Maybe you are living in a social media bubble, just saying

He thinks homophobia is wrong (which yeah, it is) yet fails to mention the elephant in the room: Islam and homophobia go hand-in-hand. His outrage feels fake AF until he states clearly that Islam and Western values are simply incompatible and clearly cannot co-exist.

Go outaide, alfie isnt laying out anything abnormal or groundbreaking. Once you see a couple of vids you realise its all colored and extremely biased towards his political/social/life views and its defenitely not TRUTH OMG HES SPITTIN FACTS

thats too normal for these weirdos,they rather prefer supporting two dudes taking it up the ass

That would be redundant.

Yes! All that its just PR move, to win naive minds

2034 World Cup: Saudi Arabia

Standing up for Uyghurs is not so trendy, unlike standing up for LGBTQIABC+- people apparently

Then guess why he didn’t mention it. Because it’s bs. Arsenal where the ones publishing a statement in which they distanced themselves from Özil, because of their strong connections to China. This incident took place in December 2019. But Germany or the German FA have absolutely nothing to do with it, because he already retired from the national team after the 2018 World Cup. Do your research and use the internet for sensible purposes, bozo! 🤦‍♂️

@@Darwinek people with mental disabilities are more important than people who die because of religion, and that's a problem

Never happened. You’d think a Chelsea fan wouldn’t be for misinformation.

@@drsurtur3240such a clear case of double standards… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It's not that they felt their Shariah laws were being mocked, its because they felt germany didn't respect thier laws by staging a protest, so they thought of sharing how they felt about it when germany got knocked out. I mean, wouldn't you feel offended if you thought someone didn't respect your way of living?

It's always a good thing when virtue signallers fail.

I agree completely, but I think most fans want to watch the matches no matter how much they don't like Qatar or any one individual issue.

Love that Hazard has to eat his words now. That was really assholish of him make such a dig against Germany especially Belgium performance getting knockout.

The Nazis can now go back to Gaymany and suck anything they want. Nobody cares.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The rest of the normal world is happy you mentals are out.

@@theredlineonepiece9811 Very good, did you come up with that yourself or did your stepdad tell you this after he left your bedroom?

Yes, his views are consistently good from a morality point of view.

@@soundscape26 Am bad at writing sarcasm, the comment was meant to be sarcastic. He's views are mostly European hypocrisy and frankly sound like they are being said by someone who knows nothing about the world except the one where his country are the morality police. yeah the righteous brits.

So… what days are you talking about? Because politics has always been deeply involved in football.

What are you on about fans boo footballers all the time and given i suspect they were not expecting the crowd to be in the majority regardless of the opponent in qatar you are talking out your behind.... i guess you are right the fans booing England at the Euros did nothing to help them win the final....so you must be right, pull your head in numpty! LOL

@@caseycoggan Now read my full comment before you answer I said "it doesn't help" I didn't say it was the only reason. Why do we have home and away games then? You answer me 🤷🏻

Be careful what you wish for, because it's only a matter of when, not if Qatar (or Doha in this case) will host Summer Olympic Games (and Winter Olympics, because Saudi Arabia will host the 2029 Asian Winter Games, so why not Qatar) - over the past few years many people particularly in Europe and the Americas oppose their cities hosting an event for which billions of $$$ will be spent on when there are more pressing issues to tend to (e.g. education, healthcare, hosuing, inflation etc.). And this opens the door for either über rich countries (like Saudi Arabia or Qatar) or authoritarian regimes that look to legitimize their position on the international stage by hosting such an event (examples are plenty). Perhaps it's time for the IOC (and by extension FIFA as well) to look at why cities/countries that on paper are tailor made for hosting such events (e.g. Olympics, FIFA World Cup etc.) just don't have the willingness to candidate anymore. Maybe if they don't demand from the host(s) to build bespoke brand new facilities or extensively re-building existing ones for billions of $$$ just to have all the new bells and whistles as well as decreasing their own share of the income (e.g. income that comes for ticket sales, merchindise sales, broadcasting rights etc.) maybe we will see an Olympics or World Cup in traditional countries.

I imagine many of them belong to a certain ideology of 'peace'. Judging from what I've seen online, most of the flack is coming from Muslims and African Christians, as well as Muslims/Arabs living in the West.

Which is probably true, to some extent.

@@thecrimsondragon9744 aswell as the AFD and adjacent scums, that are eager to implement their own version of sharia law in the west

It’s true though. Also they had a slogan “Diversity Wins”. Japan is far less diverse so how did they win?

@@Number1Camper No, it's not. Germany's world cup winning squad was just as divers. So how did they win back then?

Agreed. Instead of talking about it so much, be true to your values and do t go to Qatar. Because everything else has just been empty words and protest. Nothing will change in Qatar

@@rexmfalme9781 but why do you even want to change someone culture to conform to yours ? that's my issues with those protests. all I kept hearing is them whining about gay rights and alcohol in stadiums while there was a lot of things wrong even by the cultural standards of Qatar like the treatment of the workers and corruption. it only make sense that if a place does not align with your values to keep away, not go and make them conform to you.

@@chawkichalladia1812 You're missing the point where you share a planet with the "other", so of course you want them to be more familiar. Alcohol I couldn't care less about but the other issues even if some were introduced by England and Christianity should be done away with like the kafala or completely criminalizing people who have no choice in what they are despite what some people would prefer.

Heck, I can understand the difficulty of changing a tradition based society to whatever its natural next step is, especially if your leaders are being propped up by the same people criticizing you. Ideally and the world is not ideal and never has been, accepting the existence of LGTBQ even while not in any way supporting or condoning it would make a difference.

@@phightinphil25 that only works if it's both ways. right now a women wearing a hijab can't find a job in a lot of European countries. also you can stay 3 weeks without the need for public sexual activities which is banned for everyone not just gays. if that's too much to ask then stay home the same way a lot of people don't go to other countries because they're uncomfortable with their culture or way of life. as for the kafala system, I already said that it was the real issue and they were put aside for rainbows and booze.

I think people don't like the idea of children/teenagers developing self identity and sexuality. But people don't just develop sexuality at 18 believe it or not... Think about it, I'm sure you started fancing people aged around 8 or 9. Why would it be different for gay people?

U really need to attend some sort of psychology workshop or something to learn about psychosexual development. A quick research on the internet does the job too 😉

@@lollipopsaresmelly that makes sense. im not hating lgbt or anything. I've just never met anyone knowingly from the community. its not common where im from and not really talked about in a positive light. you are right you don't just develop overnight so I don't see why it'd be any different based on your sexual preference. thank you

Nah I don't think we will forget about them, for better or worse

That whole sequence in the video was top sarcasm.

Goretzka was too busy doing steroids cause he's such an upstanding young man.

Please inform yourself before spreading that bs. Germany has nothing to do with Özil criticising the Chinese regime. Arsenal released a public statement in which they distanced themselves from Özil. This happened in December 2019. But Özil’s career as a international already ended after the 2018 World Cup…

Özil criticised china after he’d left lmfao. He got criticised in German because he said Erdogan is his president while at the same time countless German journalists where imprisoned in turkey

- Özil protested China after he left the German - The players have no say on who the German Government buy oil from, nor has any of them supported it.

The players protested, not Germany as a state. THEY THE PLAYERS did not make a deal with Qatar to get natural gas. THEY THE PLAYERS did not do nothing to protect Ozil. People are not their country's government and these players are not the DFB. You're asking how dare they protest as if Manuel Neuer was in Qatar negotiating geopolitical aims.

@@caesar-dynastysports I'm not talking about the players but many journalists as well. Unless it wasn't covered, I haven't seen protests about the gas deal and it's less than likely Germans won't use gas knowing it's from Qatar. I know countries who would rather die than giving up on their principles.

Whataboutism

@@allesklar9127 If Human rights were their concern, they wouldn't show up to the tournament at all, they are nothing but virtue signallers I was laughing when they got knocked out of group stage, next time don't bring your politics to a football tournament and who knows maybe you'll perform better.

@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 Protest is in their natural right. Did you not think Qatar wanted to gain something politically from the World Cup? Football is never just football, you are a fool if you can't see it. From their use of modern slaves to going back on their words about treatment of LGBT attendance; every fiber of this WC is political.

@@bernardz1885 No it's not, if they really wanted to protest they should have done so by boycotting, once they agreed to go and got payed to be there, they no longer have a right to protest, so they can STFU and do what they are paid to do there.

What are you talking about? Germany took many Syrian refugees witht their children who got access to free schools, healthcare etc. How many refugess has Qatar ever welcomed to their country? Whataboutism at it's finest 😂.
