Wtf that are not legends they ar football gods
That would be hell of a team representing Earth national team in the coming up Universe Cup
@@Pedrodomingar facts
Seedorf: 6.7% nord
Crespo: Yee I can see that 😂
There is folklore about black skinned vikings too lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@DriftZ TwoSeven viking is just a word for a practice that was common around the globe... Africans sailed with tribes from marocco and southern spain.. and those sailed with vikings.. so its not farfetched
@DriftZ TwoSeven You dont understand my words i guess. Or you choose to.
No there probably were no black vikings but one black guy from a foreign sailors tribe finding his way to the Norse is not a weird idea at all. Im actually a 100% confident such a thing happened.
The Norse didnt write very much so maybe we will never know.
But your idea of how ancient times worked is cute tho.
@DriftZ TwoSeven funny to speak about culture and religion. We find viking tribes from at least 3 different religions and 5 cultures. But whatever.
What you know today as "Norse religion" is a mostly christian pseudo bible made from pieces of actual Norse mythology, filled with slavic christian folklore and catholic symbolism.
We dont know the actual "viking" religion in its full extend.
If you read the islandic versions its not viking religion as you mean it.
That is the most Italian looking Frenchman ive ever seen.
in fact he looks more italian than french ahahah from southern italy especially and i’m an italian girl
Robert Pires ethnicity is Portuguese. His Nationality is French.
@@Moses562 he’s got italian blood look at the video maybe ...
@@francesca_415 Yh I know that obviously. I was trying to make sure you know he has no french in him at all and can’t look a little bit french because his parents are french migrants. Yes I know he’s a bit Italian
good looking like hell
You can see how happy crespo was when he knew he genetically italian, not just a football legend in italy
Italian are very proud! Even when very poor.it is beautiful.
It was more Spanish. If fact Pires, and Crespo were more Spanish than Italian.
argentinians have inherited a massive amount of culture from the immigration from Italy, so it's obvious that even if many are mostly genetically related to spaniards they kind of feel in touch with Italy. The thing that relates argentinians and spaniards is history and more importantly the language, and that's a massive cultural connection we must not underestimate.
@@MrTinna33 Poor what?????
He has an Italian surname and his grandfather was from Italy. I don't get his surprise. He probably thought he's originally from Mars
Crespo was clearly upset he’s only 26% Italian
Most white Argentines comes from Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Poland and Germany. Many British, too.
Herbert Bielefelder Irish Argentinians are a lot more common than some of those
Behind Star Wars The majority of Argentines have Italian origins,their surnames are Italian
No he didn't, the first thing he said was that he thought his heritage would be all European. "I don't want to say a %100 Spanish but more or less". He thought only Spain (Iberian) would appear.
Herbert Bielefelder half of argetina population is italian
Crespo : I'm Italian!
Zambrotta : yeah right..
Im Ur Friend.
Crespo sit down with your 25%
😂
The name Crespo sounds Italian it was obvious
@@lucasm4299 year late but this made me spit my drink out 🤣😂
@@mainsmain Crespo is a Spanish name and means "curly" as in hair
@@kikimanchester it means the same in Italian too
I like Clarence Seedorf. Always struck me as an intelligent and considered man.
Me to
The most underrated Dutch player in history. He won allmost all, but it wasn't working in the national team. Seedorf should be respected more.
My favourite by far
One of the brightest footballer around. A polyglot, with master degree level and I believe is the only player to have won the UCL with 3 different teams.
He also speaks more than one language and I can say that his Portuguese is very good. He seems like a very nice guy and a very interesting person.
Lots of Italians live in Argentina it's a mix between Spanish and Italian
@leonardimas1 Depends in what part of Argentina you are.
True but Argentina abd Uruguay have germans polaks croation serbians greeks, its nation full of immigrants, if surname is spanish he probably has %50 spanish DNA and 30% Italian if Italian surname its opposite, I suspect Messi is about 70% Italian and 30% spanish because his father parents were Italians and his mother father was also Italian but his grandmother on his mother side was pure spanish
Knicks Lakers All Argentinians have at least one ancestor.
So they totally killed off the natives and Blacks then.
Italian and Spanish may be in the mix, but the mix includes more than that: Native South American is quite significant, despite the desire of most Argentines to bury that detail; Middle Eastern is also statically significant, Argentine presidents in contemporary times have had Arab blood; and let us not forget peoples from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.
Lmao it's way too obvious Pires is partly Iberian and Italian, he looks incredibly Mediterranean.
Robert Pires's parents are Portuguese immigrants in France, where he was born, but yeah, Portuguese roots indeed.
@@90cutz Pires father is portuguese and mother is spanish.
@@trollerstrom so one of is fathers had these italian roots, maybe the spanish or maybe a cheat xD
I want to see an Athletic Club player to know if They had 100% iberian
The Spanish people is mediterranean just in the south. The original population in Spain are celts, celtiberians and iberians. That is our major Dna.
I just smiled the whole time because everybody is so kind and laughing too!
This is probably one of the most satisfying video on CZcams in recent memory.
Now I know why Lothar Matthäus has missed the penalty in 1984.
hahahaha
lol
Cant stop lol xD
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀
Susanne Witt lol
Clarence looks like a typic swedish guy 😂😂😂😂😂
TELL YOUR MOMA
He's actually more of a Nigerian dan u know
12:35
He was a great footballer thats the most important thing
He actually does. His bearing.
Crespo of course is an italian surname just like Messi ( double letters-MeSSi- are typical of the Italian language born in Florence-Tuscany).
@Adonías Portuguese as well.
Crespo grand parents are from Spain
No, Messi’s father is of Spanish decent. His mom is of Italian descent, which is why her last name is Cuccittini
@@theodorboon Messi family came from Recanati, Marche, Italy.
So you don't the Roman empire conquered what is not Spain? Then the Spanish made the Latin language easier that is what Spanish is......De La Torre Italian or Spanish to you ?
Well if we’re going to go with accents, Lothar is 100% German. The name is another 150%, bumped up to 200% if he says it.
I add a 2x combo because of his german face so its up to 400%
Imagine if players would play for the country they have the most DNA from. Nigeria would be world champions.
What if the players became good because of their adoption country?
Ya maybe coz all brazilans comes from nigera i think
Nigeria, Italy, Spain, Greece, Cameroon, Congo, Algeria, Germany, Portugal, Turkey, Russia would be the best
If this was the case, Australia and USA would have barely any players... Ethnicity is different to Nationality
@@Arfons Maoris are from NZ not Australia.
Seedorf is so classy. Such a gentleman!
So he is on the pitch
In Netherlands they think soooo different about him lol
@@waso778 what they think about him
@@inthahous87 He knows everything better. Like he is a professor in everything.
He has missed 2 important penalties for the Netherlands. While he was not allowed to take the penalty from the coach, he has never been forgiven here.
I always liked him btw.
@@waso778 wow really. I never knew. Which penalties did he miss?
Lothar Matthaus, probably one of the best all action midfielders and yet nobody ever mentions when they talk about all time greats.
Yeah I didn’t know him as a baller but when I found about his accolades and watched how he played. Dude was a fucking beast
You should see him play while wearing Inter's shirt.
@@dimaswahyupratama3694 yeap that 89 season was phenomenal.
@@tashrif46 indeed
Maradona himself said Matthaus was his biggest rival
Imagine international selection was based on DNA.
Italy would of had the likes of Maradona and Messi playing for them.
African countries would have a whole load of Brazilians playing for them.
Italians hate Maradona hahaha
@@rufuscasimiro7739 People from Naples love it, the rest mock him lol
Di maria, Zanetti, batistuta, di Estefano, Messi y mas
@@furlan1743 Yeah, napoli is another world about diego, But the rest of Italy...
Actually Maradona is of spanish decent not italian

Very difficoolt, lol I like Carlitos Tevez. He's such a cool guy. Not everybody is good at foreign languages.
Aprende tú español
He can t even speak spanish
No it wasn't. But hey, they are just football players don't set your expectations so high and to be fare they don't need to be really fluent to perform well.
@@highflyerpotatoe602 I couldn´t agree more.
Bruh they all look like mates even though most of them didnt play together
Gandhi's FlipFlop they probably have worked together on shows as commentators
Rageeth Kollatt they also played lot of Legends game post retiring together
This is what football does to you.
They meant native american
Hmmm, it seems that the Italian gene may also be one of the genes that contributed to legendary football/soccer players

Well, they decided to talk about the italian part, but 3 of the players here had the biggest percentage from Iberia (spain/portugal)

No worries football
I love how these people are chilling out talking about their heritage diversity 😀
They're so chill and funny!! 😅 Just looking at them is pure amazement and so magnificent. 😍😊
This woman, such a beautiful voice!
Matheus Marques true
Matheus Marques This woman, Kelly Cates, ICYDK, is the daughter of Sir Kenny Dalglish, the LFC legend.
Hartaty Sirait wew..Kenny Dalglish's daughter?
Redho Adela Yes, she is. :)
@Idrees Khan- Was that meant to be a readable sentence?
This is so beautiful. Some of them was rival during their playing days and now when you see those legend smile and hug each other it is so good to watch.
the format of this show is confusing af. i just wanted them to go down the line and see each of their dna
They show them at the end
They only had one job
Well too bad bc this was great
Yeah they need to mask that these tests are 100% bullshit. They arent only extremely inaccurate if there arent actual stemcells analyzed but also the data presentation was horrific from a dna research standpoint. Haplogroups like swedish german and english cant be differentiated from your spit so the show just split them how they liked. Thats probably why Matthäus was so english and the low percentages are probably just inaccuracies
Not a big fan of Argentina but there has always been something I like about Hernán Crespo.
maybe you're related? ;)
Always liked him...a beast if a striker in his day....Argentina 2018 squad could use a player like him 😆
Hugo Nongbri yes I almost feel sorry for Argentina but as a Colombia fan I have my own problems right now.
Crespo was one of my favourite strikers when I was a kid watching Football Italia... Always thought he looked like a Greek statue.
Him & Batistuta were my favourite in 90's Serie A.
That is so right! HE looks like a Greek statue... I had a feeling of something like that but I couldn´t point it out! ha hahaha!
13:24 Zambrotta has the craziest bow legs I've ever seen
I thought they were photoshopped 😂😂😂😂
Always had them like that
Absolutely mental
I was searching for this comment.
This was absolutely beautiful! I kept giggling like a 5 year old at Christmas morning opening my gifts.
This is excellent! They all take it as a laugh! The level of English spoken by all of them (Barnesy excluded) is very impressive!
Pires looks italian anway.
He has 0% of French blood
@@marcbook3793 it is normal, he is Portuguese origin.
not really...
That's what I thought. It's not just me.
he is portuguese
Robert Pires is half portuguese half spanish. He was born in France from a portuguese father and a spanish mother.
Imagine if my heritage was discovered back in the 60’s and those originally players from Nigeria knew it then.
Maybe Nigeria would’ve won a world cup title by now.
History is magnificent
Argentina is like brothers for us. We love you, love from Italy! 🇮🇹🤝🇦🇷
This was great. I really enjoyed watching it and I absolutely love that it shows we are from the world as a whole and not just the man made boundaries that we call countries x
Looking at the 3 men with high percentage of Italian DNA, resemble each other, no shock that they are DNA related
I love Argentina with all my heart, I’m Italian and I sadly never been to Argentina but I hope one day I’ll make my dream come true >.< much much love to this wholesome country 🇦🇷 with the best telenovelas ever XDXD
We can exchange places anytime You want. I really love to visit Italy😉
@@manuelsantiago4446 I would love to 😭
l'Argentina è praticamente un' italia 2... Sia a livello culturale che genetico, infatti moltissimi argentini hanno il cognome italiano.
A lot of Argentinians and Urangryans have Italian ancestry, also some Brazilians too.
@@utenteantimoralismo8549 en italia hay villas?
Gilberto seems like a very humble person
Argentina has a lot of people with Italian heritage. Actually total number of immigrants from Italy was greater than from Spain. How come Crespo didn't know that?
Misha Gelenava It's more like being a national football legend better not declare something about un-Argentina thing before it happens from the test. Careful when you talk.
Not really, he said he expected mostly Spanish heritage and pretty much only European heritage. Recognizing that a lot of Argentinians have Italian ancestry should not really be a big deal, if you recognize Spanish ancestry so easily.
I think he knows about Spanish immigrants simply because they speak Spanish in Argentina, but he doesn't have much knowledge of the history of Argentina. Probably because he was good young player when he was in school and put much time in football, rather than learning history and math and etc. It's OK, I'm not throwing mud at Crespo. I just noticed it and commented about.
And language is also Spanish. Maybe because Spain was there first and they formed the colony. Italians emigrated later, maybe some people even had to switch family names. One thing I know likes of Maradona, Messi, Di Stefano, Di Maria have Italian ancestry. Every "Di" something is Italian with the roots.
It also must depend on region. I know Uruguay had also big number of Italian Immigrants and Brazilian state's at Argentine border have big number of Italians, probably north-East regions of Argentina has more Italian.
Just wikipedia, but can give some basic info

The real German rivalry is against Netherlands
Dan Muteba True.
Only English people think they are German rivals
Or Germany vs Italy
Nederlands are germans
Netherlands rivalry is belgium
I like how they're all sitting together smiling and befriending each other, 15-20 years after they fought like they were at war on the field. Gotta say that Crespo and Pires aged really well
So many legends in one room , having a great time.
24,3% english.."you're half english!" 😕
😭😂😂😂😂😂
Foot approximation
😂 🤣 🤪
Somehow, I'm not surprised about Crespo has Italian DNA at all 😂
Riyandi Darmawan Putra Most argentinians descend from italians
A lot of italians migrated to argentina there argentinians who are more than 50% italians.
Crespo is an Italian surname, so...
That's why Buenos Aires is like Italian people speaking Spanish
Crespo such a fun guy, I'm bit surprised remind that he was serious guy in his team back then
He is the manager of Sao Paulo in Brazil and look like for me so humble with his rivals, journalists... very different than other argentinians.
A man can change its skin as soon as he enters the pitch
Same here. I remember him being a literal unstoppable machine on the pitch as an Inter player.
This is brilliant, true legends of the game. I do suspect that since this was filmed the accuracy of the DNA test has improved, therefore current results may be somewhat different.
Gil and Hernan, love their english.Love all these guys, legends. Love how Lothar keeps saying "i sink this, i sink that" hehe.. Vat are you sinking about? Lol.
South American DNA? I hope they mean Native ameridian ancestry since South America is the result of a huge mixture.
Carlos Doria Espitia Southamerica is Incas.
Christian Ponce Incas are extinct and that empire was in current Perú and Bolivia. South America has a lot of indigenous communities, hundreds. I'm South American and know what I'm talking about.
Obviously thats what they meant...
Yes, native American DNA, Europeans refer to them as 'indians'
@@carlosdoriaespitia unfortunately these communities were wiped out by the europeans
Crespo and Pirés: we are italian.
Crespo and Pirés: more % of iberic.
John Barnes smile is so adorable. All these legends are a pleasure to watch
I think there can be a connection to land even if you've never been there before. I took a trip to England back in the 90s. I felt so at home there and I kept seeing people that looked like they could be in my extended family. I stood on the dock in Liverpool and wondered if any of my ancestors may have left for America from there. I recently took the Ancestry DNA test and it came back 83% Great Britain. That's pretty huge - most modern day Brits don't have a percentage that high. Its no wonder I've always felt connected to that island.
I had a similar experience in Tunisia where everyone looked like my grandma, who was welsh. Years after I found recent research that shows the Welsh have berber origins from North Africa.
i think there can be a connection to land even if you don't have ancestry there. that's what the world is, an unknown

If I was the minister of education i would demand DNA test for all kids at school to bring their hearts together and show them we are all the same roots!
That could easily backfire. Plus, doesn't it send the message that blood is what unites us?
I know you have good intentions, but this would spiral out of control into an extremely ethnic concerned country which could form the basis of something like the nazis and the nationalism of that era.

Division creates diversity... diversity is a beautiful thing, as long as differences are respected and fostered.
@Artair Sadly
@Artair literally too much diversity. Thousands of tribes and ethnic groups in Africa.
Golden words
Sorry Diversity Causes Division.
just ask North American and European nations. There is so much division with national groups these days countries are literally falling apart along cultural lines.
Russia and China are much more stable with their monoculture and monolanguage. They dont put up with minority and religious groups telling them how to run the nation
@Ben Harris in a perfect world yes but not in this mess where people take advantage of the country social systems and in many western countries treat foreigners and give them better benefits than the struggling locals.
Here many government jobs hire based on diversity rather than most qualified which is total rubbish
Crespo aged like a fine wine
He is Italian by the way.... 😂🇮🇹❤️
Lothar has such a great character. I loved " Don't say that" ☺️
Damn it, too many goddamn legends. This is even better than the Avengers.
This is one of the coolest videos on you tube.in my opinion. I would like to do my DNA now

These legends speaks english really well
Basil Patilani most of these guys have played in England. And most of them works in PR since retiring
Much better English than the indigenous English
Amd yuo writes very good
Yes because they went to other countries to learn different languages. Have you ever listen to Leonardo who use to play for Brazil and Milan?....in 1994 he spoke speak English very well!...at that time I was shocked!
yeah especially Barnes!

Ricardo Santiago yup serious but enjoy
The legends sitting all together , grdat video
This is fun, it's like an Erasmus meeting (without the alcohol).
so basically Nigeria should've had some team in the 90's
@Christy Dolan dats not accurate, Nigeria fought a civil war that ended in 1970, and hasn't been at war since then, West Africa was stable too, only 2 countries out of 15 were at war in the 90's. Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Invite legendary football players of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Macedonia. That would be more interesting

Almost everyone is Argentina has heritage from Italy. Anyone who ever attended elementary school should know this.
@random 15 I think Tévez is among the few indigenous Argentines
Ehh not everyone. All have more of Spanish than italian
nope. Most argentinians have spanish ancestry not italian
Love this guys! Keep them coming. How about do this with celebrities after this. Just a suggestion.
Beautiful video, great message.
The fact that crespo said.. defend my country ..and not 'play for my country'. Tells you all you need to know
He said we fight for what
We fight for nothing
there's literally a language barrier and he probably means play 😭
