    The standard of this entire series has been so high, well done Copa90 and also Eli! i’ve been so excited every time an episode of The Real International Break appears in my sub box, and not once felt let down. A really great series from start to finish, thank you!

    This film brought me to tears. I don't know whether it was because I was so happy to see a team like Morocco make it or if the thought of my country not being there next summer hit home. Truly emotionally impactful.

      he was in Israel last weekend and for Sunday and Monday as well, and I messaged him on Instagram, he didn't respond, and it turned out there was a meeting scheduled last Thursday at the Ivorian embassy in Israel at 9am by an Israeli Chelsea fan group on Facebook, and I didn't know about that, so I missed out meeting my favorite player, and in march of 2015 me and my dad flew to see Chelsea vs Southampton and he didn't play

      @FerdinandRCJ Před 6 lety +9

      well, we (Indonesia) are going to world cup, someday, but definitely not in 2022 (except if we're the host) or in 12 years span. We've still got many problems, especially with the system of the Indonesian FA. So, thats true when other nations call us "sleeping tiger". because with 200 millions people and growing every year, when the system is fixed, the youth academy is getting better, and the league is getting better too, the tiger will wake up and roaring into the world. Cheers mate!

    First time watching football was the World Cup 2010 in South Africa when Drogba was about to step on the pitch against Portugal. I was so curious of who this guy was because everyone in the whole stadium and the commentators were praising him. Ever since that day I’ve fell in love with football. Then I started researching his story with his nation and man oh man, my love for football have deepen. King Drogba🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

    The video's build up of emotion regarding the 94th min penalty wasnt executed well. It wouldve been better if footage from the 2 matches & the scenes in Ivory Coast as a result of their qualification were shown. It shouldnt have been just the interviews at that point, the interviews shouldve been interlooped. Thanks for the story though

Like Burkina Faso(finished 3rd at the AFCON)and Senegal. Or Egypt and Uganda who put in a good shift. There should be like an Africa playoffs

    Football is the best sport in the world, most passionate fans, clubs, leagues, deepest history, insanely cultural and political impacts, atmospheres like no other, no other sport even comes close to us. Football is not only the best sport, but one of the best things in the world.
