In this video I learn about the Euros and some of the teams, players, and expectations I should have. I also learned that I should probably cheer on England...oh, and I'll be live streaming the final on July 11. If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe!

they had Colonies. France i mean.
france had colonies in africa and many young players who were born in africa moved to france and grew up there, because the national team i s hard to get into they can either play for france or play for either the country theyy were born in or parents country
Next react to "Cristiano Ronaldo The Man Who Can Do Everything" it's a compilation of all the skills in football which he possesses, very entertaining and illustrative of what footballers can perform in matches.
you might want to check Formula1 (F1) too, there is also a grand prix in the USA in November. If you are interested here's a good intro video: czcams.com/video/g-NUz0pQC0I/video.html
It's coming home is on about bringing the cup home. It's a football chant
Ironic though.
Because France just lost to Switzerland on penalties!
*My PTSD intensifies *
I was gonna watch that!
lol mbappe is so overrated smh
@@SICARIO0 His penalty got saved, grow up
@@SICARIO0 heyyyyyyyy he was just having a bad day :(
Fair warning: Finals aren’t usually the best game of football as both teams are nervous to make mistakes
Also the knockout format adds luck and stuff.. But more importantly, it's all about tactics, so the "best team" could even leave the competition in the preliminaries. Euro is usually way harder than the world cup
@@JacopoBasanisi euros have harder games in the group stage, but the knock out stage definitly gets more difficult in the World Cup with all of the South American teams. It’s much easier for a smaller team to win the euros since less teams have to flop, and it’s a greater chance you’ll be able to avoid the bigger teams until further into the tournament!
@@saftobulle thats what we in germany are looking up to. When we win against England the next WorldClass Team is going to be the Final.
@@eno3085 you sure about that?
@@shish7755 This comment killed me
Well, the French players that he called immigrants or sons of immigrants all come from former French colonies, and lets just say the French weren't any nicer colonists than the British, the Belgians, the Germans, etc...
Eeeehhh...
I'd say they might have been around the middle.
Although, France still regularly deploys troops all around Africa.
Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, UK do not, as far as I know.
@@doyouwanttogivemelekiss3097 Did you even check why those troups were there ? How is that any different from the troups in the middle east ? You know, the ones the US and even the UK sent.
Don't get me wrong, I think they should leave and not care about what happens over there, no matter what happens, but keep in mind what those troups are for.
German had colonies?
@@xenotypos I have no good answer for you, unfortunately:
- if you let things just be, you open the door for other ideologies and colonists: think e.g. boko haram (=islamists), chinese corporations.
- how that has an influence in western europe and the broader world: think e.g. migrant crisis in 2015.
(= after the arab spring took away the north african dictators), think genocide in ruanda, think starvation, think of an ebola pandemic that could have spread.
- what can you do to stop that: have contracts with dictators like Ghaddafi (which they did).
- however that contract with Ghaddafi may lead to conditions for migrants that are massively worse than those in Xinjiang.
So I agree, it's complex. And I don't know how to do international/(former) colonial politics.
SoGal, participation by the English national football team in international tournaments usually goes like this:
1. The English tabloid papers write that the current English team lineup is the strongest ever.
2. The English tabloid papers predict that England can win the European (or World) Championship. 'It's coming home'.
3. England plays and qualifies for the knock out stages.
4. England loses a knock out stage match ~50% chance they miss a penalty shot.
5. The English tabloid papers write that the current English team is crap and possibly the worst ever.
6. Two years pass.
7. Repeat...
And usually Germany gets in the way (okay, not this time but as I said usually...).
If germany beat them it's a success
If some crappy team did it it's a failure xD
Ya'v got it, mr Sorenson. I've had 50 years of hearing/reading this stuff.
"The best two teams in Europe." This is a knockout tournament, don't get your hopes up.

I only saw extra time. Glad I did, but wish I'd tuned in sooner!
The game was incredible
I didn't have that one down for match of the tournament. It was brilliant.

Hope you managed to catch both today’s games. Best games of the tournament so far

@@stiangjrvad9593 I recognised his voice. Very cool guy
If you're going to watch highlights, watch today's games: Spain 5 x 3 Croatia and France 3 x 3 Switzerland (untill now). AWESOME GAMES!!
Switzerland just knocked France out off the Euros! Pogba played one the best matches of his life, he was amazing, but Switzerland just played the best match of their history imo.
Why spoil the standings then?! Wtf?
@@TheHitmanCorp i mean, if she's gonna she'll already know the result, but okay
Currently watching an incredible France v Switzerland match. After earlier watching the just as incredible Croatia v Spain match. Such a shame you didn't do your first watchalong for one of these, instead of possibly the worst game of the tournament. Although that's the beauty of football, you can't predict which games will entertain and which ones will stink.
I don't know, you can pretty much guarantee any Atletico Madrid games will suck!
It's true, France has so many ethnic players because they colonised the heck out of Africa.
Considering the amount of Indians in the UK, it's surprising that there's very few playing football at any decent level.
Of course, they do tend to prefer cricket as a sport, and I'd wager the fans there are a tad more tolerant than football fans have historically been.
@@bucklberryreturns
Well Indians aren't particularly passionate about Football, most of them in England don't even watch it.
And not to seem racist, but they're not that athletic for a sport like this.
@@bucklberryreturns while the african nations are crazy football addicts as the europeans are, the indians just dont play football xD
As harsh as it sounds, for hundreds of years, people were selectively chosen and bred for physical performance. The majority of the top sports people come from these historical slave backgrounds. Jamaica had alot of plantations and its led to them consistently having some of the fastest people on the planet. Christophe Lemaitre was the first white guy to run sub 10.... he was the 72nd guy to run sub 10.
@@InquisitiveBaldMan
Are you sure about that ?? I'm pretty certain that black people are the most athletic and most explosive simply because of genetics/biology
The favourites France have just been knocked out by little Switzerland! 😂😂😂
Guess they were never the favourites to win the cup
Ps: Its not coming home, you going out by Germany tom too XD
@@mtk3755 i fully expect that, England have been awful, never expected much. Southgate isnt good enough to manage a national side
For us, they weren’t favorites.
Most of the French people support the Italian team (look at the picture of the team for more details...) or for Hungarian team (for the brave politic of this country).
@@Glund117 It's not the manager that is the problem. The problem is that England lacks talent in every position on the pitch except maybe strikers.
@@Glund117 I'm German so obviously I want them to win but they have not been playing nearly on the level we used to a couple years ago.
EDIT: Called it!
So much for France being one of the favourites to win the whole tournament. They've just been knocked out by Switzerland 5-4 on penalties!
This guy is so accurate I can’t even be angry that he’s a yank and can barely speak 😂
i would recommend having Denmark as your favorite they have the best fairytale story this euros. in the first match our best player (Christian Eriksen)collapsed with a cardiac arrest which he survived, the danish players awere basically forced to play on with the match. The danish players were obviously shook by what happened to Eriksen so they lost the match. since then they have regained their form having scored 9 goals in 3 matches, scoring 4 goals in their last two matches, they also have a favorable draw against the czech repluplic and have gained the mentality to win the tornument.
Wow, that is an amazing story!
Bunch of bullcrap@@phueal they are professionels and should just step up and play, so f-ing annoying that there is nothing else than "buhu it is so sad for him and how all of the nation (and no it is not all of the nation) are behind him)
Most of the players already tried to ruin the national team by striking a few years back and then trying to prevent some amateurs who had no problem representing their nation, so Denmark wasnt penalized by EUFA and FIFA, while all the socalled stars sat around yelling about not being payed enough.
Why would anyone go for Denmark?
They play terrible football. They dont really have a nice favorable team or anything.
And just because a player had a cardiac arrest? Sure for the players of Denmark thats heartbreaking, but for everyone else? Who cares.
They cant play football, they might win of the Czechs because they suck as well. But they wont win lol.
@Souven Tudu Denmark sucks, but Wales even more.
Correct @@murderboytje
And now we see the nurses in Denmark strike for better wages/workconditions, but will we see the players back them up now that the healthcareworkers have helped them, so they can harvest so much mediaattention? nahh because they wont get any $$$ out of that.

DID ANYONE WATCH FRANCE VS SWITZERLAND? THAT WAS AWESOME!!!
Yep, as good a game as they get.
Yes both games today were so interesting and good for the tournament 🔥
Especially the French celebrations after the 1-2 and 1-3 ... How did their egos even fit inside the stadium?
@@Beggar42 Thank god that kind of arcetypical French arrogance was punished. Hybris is a vicious experience. But will they learn? Doubt it. You felt sorry for the Croatians. The French, not so much.
@@peterkragelund4794 judging by French tweets, they learned nothing at all.
It's all, yeah yeah, but we'll win the world cup next year ... not like that you won't!
Spain just became the first country in the history of the Euros to score 5 goals in two consecutive games
They had to one up Denmark being the first team to score 4 goals in two consecutive games just a few days prior, you know playing in Denmark and all.
also the first country to tie with Poland (thank you Momerda)
*crying in Slovak
England v Germany Tuesday. Always a nail biter up to the point we lose to Germany...On penalties. France can blow hot or cold, there either very good or very bad, there was one year they basically gave up while playing... At the moment no team in the Euros stands out as excellent. Portugal is out and they were the cup holders.
If Germany score first, we’re screwed
@@lester1773 that would be a first in this tournament for germany, and unfortunatly we seem to be unable to find the goal :( well we just rely on OG's this year. so my prediction is germany wins 1-0 and england scored the goal :D
I just hope I make it home in tim to watch Sweden-Ukraine.
they didn't give up, they protested
France just surrendered again.
“It’s Coming Home” comes from a football themed pop song called Three Lions released in 1996 by two English comedians. It kinda pokes fun at England’s failures whilst at the same time being hopeful.
Watch this: czcams.com/video/RJqimlFcJsM/video.html
I would definitely watch the highlights of the Spain Vs Croatia match that was played earlier today. France Vs Switzerland is currently 3-3 at the time of typing and will be decided by extra time. Really exciting matches! Probably the best day of the Euros so far. The Denmark Wales match was also an incredible watch.
Poor Mbappe, the guy is gonna get destroyed in the media. French Twitter is already comparing him to Morata... that really hurts
@@dinoe.t.8079 Yeah, he has had a poor tournament by his standards and he did miss the deciding penalty but France should've really seen the game out when they were 3-1 up. They looked really shaky defensively and the 3rd Swiss goal was preventable as well. Pogba needlessly gives it away and then Kimpembe commits himself too easily. Fair play to Switzerland though. They played some great football. Xhaxa was class.
Great day, yes!
@@ayeready6050 Of course, I'm not complaining about the outcome, I'm a Spaniard after all. I really thought France would eliminate us, guess it'll have to be Italy or Belgium.
@@dinoe.t.8079 I think the failure was caused by the trainer switching out their offensive pressure with ten minutes to go, letting that 3-1 lead turn into a 3-3.
The graph showed that more than 50 French players played in the World Cup 2018. With only 23 players by countries, it means that more frenches played for other countries than for France.
This comes from the excellent French formation which allows many children of poor immigrants to reach the top level. Other nations use dual nationalities to recruit excess French players.
I found your channel by chance a week ago when I watched the Chelsea Champions League video Since that time I have watched all the clips related to sports, military, and geography
You're doing a good job I am sure you will reach 100K subscribers before the end of this year.
Greetings from Morocco
He's accurate about France. Diverse team demographically, but because of centuries of bloodshed. Some brilliant players from African heritage.
Actually the players can choose to play in their origine countries (like Drogba for instance) or some times they are french (like Mbappe he is totally integrated in french culture).
Which is a bit stupid to say, with a bit of perspective you could say that most team in NBA are composed of players of African's heritage... (No there was no black people in America)
When Switzerland won (I'm Swiss) against France, a lot of people descended into the streets to celebrate ! People honking their horns, waving flags and Swiss shirts, lighting up flares and fireworks... It was beautiful, and all that at midnight.

Except for the pro-USA ones.
What a day in the euros both matches were🔥🔥
Yay, you're English!
Keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow. We're playing Germany so it's either going to be incredible or terrible.
Kante is one of the nicest men in football, and SUCH an asset to any team he's on.
You might like to watch a video about Leicester City winning the Premier League - this was one of the maddest, greatest, unlikeliest occurrences in any sport ever.
It turned out great. Shame about the final though!
Honestly, despite the jovial tone it has a lot of really good detail in there. I went and gave the original video a like because of how well done it was and I'm English!
This video was very funny I really enjoyed it good job 👍 as an English man every time we play I always live in hope that one day we might actually win one day 🙏 keeping the dream alive 🏴

he's actually being fairly accurate with the england and france thing lol
I thought he was pretty bang on for something made before it started. Results show how difficult it is with football to predict what's gonna happen. And Kante...spot on!
the thrilling end, penalty shootout, between current world champion France, and the Swiss team was soooooo tense and fab, i was hoping you would catch some of it live as it was around midnight Western-Europe time
You should watch the music video of "Football is coming home". It is the official song of the Euros 1996 which were played in England. It explains the comments in this video about "coming home" and the culture around the english national team. Also, if you watch it, the "thirty years of hurt" are now 55...
You really need to see the highlights of the Spain v Croatia and
France v Switzerland games it will make you forget the horror of England v Scotland
Watch some matches! National tournaments are always more emotional. In or out!! Last two matches, Spain-Croatia and France-Switzerland, was awesome.
That was a hilarous guide! Big cudos to the guy that made it!
14:04 - He's talking about colonialism and the wars france had

FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME!!!!!!. Great vid
When he mentioned the “brutality of France” as a reason for the diversity of the team he essentially meant the colonising era where the french absolutely went rogue
England are in no way the favourites outside of England itself.. don’t let the video fool you
We are the favorites. Why the Agenda against us?
We are definitely the favorites to get knocked out against Germany
That's not actually true. Anyone who knows anything about betting knows that odds across the world tend to be the same. If they weren't then punters would make huge sums by betting on one thing in one country and the opposite in another. There can be small differences initially but the 'market' quickly smooths those out to make them the same.
Of course ib betting terms you are correct. Arbers/Punters will travel the World, literally, to et an edge let alone just on their Home Computers but I think he simply means in English people's minds rather than in actual betting terms.
This reminds me that I must have a look at the "New Tottenham Manager" market whichhas had 7 different favourites now :)
ps: I'm waiting for Italy to get knocked out because my reasoning is that Spurs are waiting for Mancini:)
@@Isleofskye If he thinks England are favorites in English people's minds then he's equally mistaken. We don't dare. We've also seen them lose to Iceland FFS.
So basically 5 minutes, my friend.
I saw the best England team in my lifetime (Better than 1962 and 1966 which I saw ) in 1970 go 2/0 against Germany in The Quarter Finals only to lose 3/2 in the 90 mins...the last 51 years since haven't been too clever either but tonight 2/0 or 2/1. TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT***
*** You will find this prediction, miraculously, disappear should we get eliminated :)
Hi, I've just recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your content,I'm from the UK and it's great to be reminded of our history. Just to let you know England are playing Germany tomorrow, fingers crossed for England but the Germans are pretty good. Cheers
While watching the finals live is a good idea, i would suggest picking a recent match that a lot of people say was eventful and do a reaction video to that one. I heard that belgium - portugal had some exciting moments, or maybe some people more knowledgeable in soccer might know of an even more exciting match.
I would also suggest to react to a soccer video about scott stirling. He is a really good goalkeeper and was able to keep out any balls in the match between Yale and North Carolina.
You should be watching France v Switzerland now … amazing game of football ⚽️
Scarlett is the best addition to this channel. 😆
Scarlett? I prefer Roger
did not expect a BMOnus video here
I hope you watched today matches, it was one of the most exciting days in football I remember in years, both matches were exilarating, full with adrenline and emotions, with a lot of goals. I wish it got into it and enjoyed.
It would be great if you did a reaction to the Six Nations Rugby Tournament, held between - England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France and Italy. Very physical and played without the padding the NFL players wear
Rugby is great. Sports Science did a test on the impacts between Rugby and American Football. Turns out the hits are similar in impact. The Footballers tend to hit with more force because they are padded leading to same impact levels on the body. Another note on reasoning was hypothesized that it was protecting the person initiating the contact.
The 2021 Challenge Cup will be the 120th edition of the Challenge Cup, the main rugby league knockout tournament in British rugby league run by the Rugby Football League (RFL).
This final will be held at Wembley Stadium in London 17 July 2021. The finalists are St Helens and Castleford.
Later this year the Rugby League World Cup is being held in UK.
I have commented before this is really big in Australia, which SoGal likes to learn about and it is not the same as Rugby Union and a video showing how they differ might help an American learn as RL is more akin to NFL.
The main difference, in my opinion, is that rugby has less interruptions, not more impacts.
I think the real differencec between NFL and rugby is that you need more technique in rugby for tackling (a bit like Judo need more technique than rugby). Well I don't know a thing about NFL so i may be wrong.
@@MrTheLizardKing666 check out video seahawk tackling. One of the NFL teams coaches put video out so youths can learn to remove the head/neck from the tackle.
The games are getting better! Just today Spain vs Croatia had an own goal and a last minute equaliser for a total of 8 goals. One of the best games so far
And now france vs Switzerland so far has 6 goals with a missed penalty and a last minute goal 🤣
I recommended the Ted Lasso clips for a bit of a comedic insight into football that they recommended at the end - I’d also suggest the slightly related Trevor Noah’s bit on ‘sports in America’ he has the difference between Europe and the US down perfectly.
I’m curious who your college team is now (not that I expect you to share that) I’ve been an Oregon Ducks fan (I know) for at least 15 years now, mainly watch football and softball, basketball occasionally
That France Switzerland game today is worth to watch on replay.
It was said after the previous tournament that 70% of the earth's crust is covered by ocean, the rest is covered by Kante.
Please do check out Kante. It would be great, and it'd be different from what most other reactors would do .
Hope you saw the 2 cracking games played today...Croatia vs Spain and France vs Switzerland...Both games where the epitome of how good football can be...Games that swung one way then the other numerous times throughout...It was a real honour to watch those matches today...Kudos to all 4 teams involved!
The two matches played on 28th of june were truly legendary. 14 goals in total.
"I assume Ireland is out"
Laughs in danish
The best that England achieved in the Euros was way back in 1968. They were knocked out 1-0 in the semi-finals by Yugoslavia. They beat Russia 2-0 in the match for Third/Fourth place to finish 3rd.
ngl that video was hilarious and completely right 😂😂😂
I'm an American originally from Jersey Shore who landed in Germany back in 93' thru the US Army and stayed because of my German wife. I've been too many soccer games 1st-2nd divsion and in the lower divisions and watched my kids play the sport with my oldest son making it to the Landesliga division. Gott sei Dank that Team Italien defeated England in the Finals of the Europameisterschaft! Bravo Italy! Ich bin Bvb fan seit 94'. Prost/cheers from Mittelfranken.
Well there have already been two shock results in the last 16 knockout round (not naming names) and today there were two absolutely classic matches, which I'm sure that you will enjoy watching the highlights of each one.
Oh my word what a night of football madness!
You certainly need to watch the highlights of today's two games :)
For me the quarter finals produce the best matches of tournaments, big teams finally come together and semifinals and finals can get very defensive, no-one wants to lose.
Well, look on the bright side, the final can't end without at least one goal. The rules literally won't allow it.
If there isn't a winner by the time the 90 minutes are up, they play for 30 more minutes. If there still isn't a winner, both sides take 5 penalty kicks. If there *still* isn't a winner, then both teams have to take *as many penalties as it ataks* until one team scores and the other doesn't.
I hadn't seen this video before, but it *is* pretty spot on, except the fact that it overlooks Germany as one of the teams likely to win.
And, where international football is concerned (especially in the Euros, but to some degree in the other continental tournaments and in the World Cup) there's a fair amount of just poking shameless fun at the other teams involved. Up to and including references to one of the World Wars, or some of the lesser known wars.
The comentators obviously have to be professional and therefore aren't allowed to enjoy this, but it is pretty close to the banter you'd find in an average pub where a match is being shown on TV.
I'm a European. I approve this video. Everything he says is accurate, except that England are favourites. They are not.

Well they are, they might not be in your mind, but in terms of betting they are. And right now they’re in the semi finals, most likely going through to the final.
Oh great you're going to root for England. It's not enough that you're a jonah for your college team, now you've decided to do it for us too. Wonderful.
Today was the craziest day in the Euros, 14 goals in 2 games, with both games going to extra time after they ended 3x3. That's insane.
Kante is the best, he's one of the best footballers on the planet yet he wears tracksuits and drives a mini
I think someone like him is especially rare in the football world, not many successful football players are humble.
He's also out of the competition..
Ironically I'm just watching this video and France just got knocked out by Switzerland
You should have watched Swiss-France, the maybe most interesting and exciting game for all season up to now. The total underdog didn’t just defeat the world champion in a very dynamic and exhausting fight with two totally unforeseeable comebacks, they also did break out of multiple unlucky streaks. On top the game was only decided through penalty shoot outs which might be the most exciting thing on Earth.
The 2 games from the Euros today have been absolutely amazing, I hope you managed to catch one of them!
Pls react to Lionel Messi, probably one of the most, if not the most, talented players in history, the guy is unbelievable!
I hope you were watching Spain Croatia.
Switzerland are beating France, what a surprise. My prediction was 3-1 France so let's see how that hold's up.
Edit: Wow, what a game. My prediction stood for a little bit lol.
We gonna see but yehh france for me is bad today and if they continue Swiss gonna to win and is it's that they merite to win
Bonne chance au Suisses !
seems like your prediction becomes true right now, unfortunatly
What a turn around!
The prediction is still on my friend
You talked too fast my friend
The humour in the video makes me feel strange: the American wise guy with the roasts of Blackadder. I like it
The best one yet
Today in 2 games there have been 15 goals.
@Sunny Post 1 penalty shoot out equals a goal so technically 15
Why not react to Copa America as well?
Unfortunatelly, it would be watching Brazil beating off all pf the other teams, and not even playing very well. Copa America is really boring these days.
The spain vs croatia game was CRAZY!! 🤯
"What France did was wrong": He´s basically talking about colonialism. That´s not a specific french thing. It was more a european/western/white culture thing. It involves occupation, exploitation, genocide and slavery of countries that were considered "uncivilized". Basically every big power state of the 19th and early 20th was actively involved in colonialism. It basically started with the discovery of America in 1492. Not sure why he had to point out france. The french team being multicultural is a development more of recent decades since the nineties.
