The Smallest National Team in the World
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 05. 2023
- You know I’m obsessed with national teams, but what national team is actually the smallest national team in the world? In FIFA, not quite, that would be too easy. We need the smallest national team representing a nation on the planet and boy have we found it. How about a country that only has a permanent population of two people?
That is a correct statement. I won’t tell you the name of the country because come on you have to watch the video for that, but their national team is perhaps the weirdest story you’ve ever hear and they play some truly bizarre teams as well. But, they have played, a lot actually, and could be playing again soon!
Much Love,
The Zealand

Zealand talking about Sealand. Perfect
As a Lord of Sealand, I am happy to see my nation get the recognition it deserves 😂
I can see your nation from the end of my road 😍
Is there a way I can win my first senior cap for Sealand?
you should make your own country ZEALAND and make a national team
Well there's a largest area of the Netherlands is called zealand
Yep, and the squad should only consist of loan players.
Yeah, a new country named Zealand... . Let's name it New Zealand. Or perhaps New New Zealand so we don't have any problems with the land of kiwi birds and kiwi fruits.
The Zealand Zephyrs and coached by Zidane!
Yes and we will call the team NEW ZEALAND.... wait a minute
Can someone please make a way that we can play Sealand in the bottom tier of England but also have it a national team where you can recruit players to your country as you rise up the divisions.
So this is Zealand talking about Sealand?
I suggest you look into a Brazilian team named Santa Cruz FC. Previously had its glory days but now is in Fourth (and last) Division, not playing any national division unless it is promoted, and risking bankruptcy. Oh, and I forgot to mention this team still fills up its stadium with 50k people even in Fourth Division. I figure its an interesting read and good story to tell.
The thing about it is pirate radio stations is not without precedent in international waters in england. we've been doing it a long time.
on a simpler note - zealand supporting sealnd? that can't be a coincidence lol
An interesting story linked to Sealand. The only team Sealand have beaten twice is alderney fc, alderny being a small island in the English Channel who compete in a competition called the murrati every year. And they've been on a losing streak in said competition for over 100 years! Their last win was in the year 1920, since then they've lost every year.
Shout out to 2017 though when they beat the Falklands 3-0!!
I went to see them play Chagos Islands in 2014, at Godalming Town. They won 4-2. Ralf Little played for them. They had a bloke dressed as a seal as mascot. Surreal afternoon...
I don't know if you're serious, or if it was a dream but somehow, either answer would be equally satisfactory. 😁
Can't wait for Sealand to qualify for the world cup
Why isn't this video called 'Zealand on Sealand'? And when is the 'Zealand coaches Sealand' follow-up?
Nice upload time! It´s 8 am where I live and I get to watch this first thing in the Sunday morning while I work!
Hoe Z got through this without a single reference to the similarity to his own name is beyond me
I'm a little bit of a Montserrat fan as we've had several of their players play for my team, Maidenhead United. I'll look forward to your video on them.
This is fantastic!!! So glad you made this video. Hoping my comment on the Marshall Islands video helped 😂
Sealand used to be my fun fact that most people didn’t know about but now loads of more people will know about it 😂 cheers for another great vid Zealand!
I'm a colonist from Sealand I moved to a small island off the coast of New Zealand and called it New Sealand. So now I live in New Sealand New Zealand.
Finally, content that I am waiting for
Mate, that Sealand fish and chips shop you show has nothing to do with Sealand the principality. Its on Sealand Road in Chester, i used to go there walking down to Chester City games (the team you said you never heard of when doing the Roberto Martinez video, cheers for that lol).
I used to be head of the European branch of NFB, the CENF, when I was 16. Amazing times
I just wanna say, as somebody from Peckham, how incredibly happy I am to see you with an actual Peckham Town shirt.
And then also how pissed off I am that I didn't know you were less than a mile from me 😭
I found this video about a week ago, forgot about it, came back and realizes I just read about it half an hour ago.
May I recommend making a video about Wellington Phoenix and it’s curious case of being a NZ club in the Australian League
For anyone interested: It's common place in Australian sports to have teams from our Kiwi brothers competing in our sports comps, especially the Rugby codes. In football, It only really became an issue when Australia joined the Asian confederation, Sadly not being able to qualify for Asian football makes Wellington a poor choice for a long save in FM IMO, Once you've won the A-league there is nothing else to achieve. Wellington/NZ national team duo is a bit of fun though.
wholesome seeing Zealand wearing the Peckham kit he bought on Ellis' channel
This Team surely needs a Goalie. Figure it out...
Do a video on CONIFA as a whole and the upcoming 2024 CONIFA world cup, the people deserve to hear its story
Never thought my home county of Suffolk would be mentioned on a Zealand video but WAHOOOO
Zac Alsop did a video going to Sealand a year ago, really interesting watch
Oi, that chippy is from near me lad, not quite the Sealand you were looking for 😂😂
Sealand path to glory career in FM24?
Loving the Peckham town shirt
I live like half an hour from there
Is that a Cleveland SC shirt I spot in the background? Crazy to see a club that plays on my old high school’s pitch on Zealand’s channel.
Please tell me there’s a way to play a game for Sealand
I saw this pop up on my home feed... i love Zealand. However i can literally see Sealand from the end of my road (i live 100 meters from the beach of Felixstowe. Which was one of the highlighted closest places to there👀)(i can 90% of the time take a pic of the country)
It's a strange story but it still makes me laugh that Sealand has a national team.
I love seeing videos of Sealand. And seeing Zealand making a video of a team, from a country 6 miles away from me. It's another video to show people who don't know Sealand, that it exists)
Can see the nation of Sealand from where some of my family now live in Essex , kinda inside british waters now but didn’t used to be
My favourite team in Sealand is North Sea United and they've been the champion of 25 out of 40 seasons. They also won the last season of Sealand Premiership. Better than Man City.
I think You've got to declare for Sealand ... Zealand getting Caps for Sealand
Zealand, you need to get a Sealand football shirt
I feel like Mr Burns in the supermarket.
Zealand..
Sealand....
can see it off the beach at felixstowe suffolk has his own currency and everything lol
Adam Hurrey on the channel? When is Zealand going on Football Cliches
I don't understand sealand is monsteret?
I live in Harwich, can see Sealand from my house!
If they start back up again they should make you the manager!
Sealand is more of a lifestyle and mindset than it is a physical place.
A Peckham Town kit? Gee, where ever did you get that? (Yes, I did see content from another CZcamsr. I should feel shame, yet I do not.)
Sealand Play Home Games At Portman Road
Right someone needs to create Sealand in FM and give them max youth rating, see what Sealand Superstars will show up.
YES!
I feel vindicated.
Funnily enough Germany actually recognises Sealand as an actual nation and has sent diplomats in the past, pretty sure they are the only actual nation(not another micro-nation) that does
It doesn't recognise it. It only sent diplomats so as to negotiate a release of a German subject that was being held hostage there.
They also have an American Football team - the Sealand Seahawks
It’ll only be fitting if you become a Duke…PLEASE do it
I wamt to take this oppurtunity to declare myself available for the Sealand national team
you should make a video on India vs Nigeria 99-1 game
Amazing
Someone reads The Athletic!
Zealand on Sealand? 👍
You should make a video about fc groningen. It's the the club i support and they got relegated this season with still 4 games to play😢😢😢. It's something nobody saw coming at the start of the season. Because they are ranked around 7th place if you look at the finances from all the clubs in the netherlands
Edit: forgot to say. We play such terrible football this whole season long without the players fighting for fit(that's how it seems to me) that we pretty much deserve it. Also there are contionously problems at the club, the list is to long to summarize for a f*cking season...
Sorry to hear that. You have my sympathy.
some of the players to come through Groningen are insane. VVD, Suarez, Robben, Koeman, Kostic, Tadic...
Admit it, you just made this video because it would be funny for a man named Zealand to talk about Sealand. I was just waiting for you to call their players as Seamen :)
The baldness of adam hurrey,,,, a shining light on football,,,,
Where are the live channel updates?😭
Wait is does have a national team?
Great video, but very weird/annoying background music.
The video fails to answer my most important question? Where can I get a sweet Peckham Town shirt? Nothing on that there Google
They cannot even build a stadium ...
Do A Video On San Marino
The Worst UEFA National Team In The World
You should ask them for a nobilty title, you are practically giving them publicity by calling yourself zealand lol
Sealand more like Zealand
Please Zealand try to play for Sealand
Even better, manage them!
Now we know where Peter Griffin got that idea
I'm a Baron of Sealand.
Fun fact, I am a Lord of Sealand
petition to enter FC Sealand into the English football pyramid
Zealand shall we reinvade sealand again
Zealand the manager of Sealand? 🥸
This is one of the most British things ever
Go Hokies!!
Do they own surrounding water could they expand there borders.
Let's he honest, you only found this out because you were googling yourself and made a typo 😂
He thought he was slick making up a country for a video and calling it Zealand with an S
Hi Zealand
Day two of asking if you know about Jorge "Mágico" González :>
bro dafuq💀
zSealand
Third
Fist ✊
How tf is that a country 😂
Legally, it's not
@@Alex58399 it is, well atleast before 1987 when the UK extended their territorial water
It's not.
@@farhi411 that’s why he specified “legally”
@@alexmiddleton2276 that's why i said it is before 1987 ong
If Israel can declare as country by ilegal mean so Sealand its a country period
It isn't a national team, it's not a nation, it's a radio broadcaster who planted a flag on a WW2 naval tower, and people keep funding his family "for the memes".
Why u salty lmao
If it's not a nation why did Germany send diplomats there
Oh and for the memes in the 70s? Ok yeah sure
Oh you must be sooooooo fun at parties, as fun as drinking chlorine
@@mattsmith5421 Sending a diplomat there to negotiate a release doesn't automatically mean that it is recognised as a nation. I used to work in the foreign services and such stories are actually quite common where someone would lay claim over a large land or island and then proclaim sovereignty and ask for recognition from other nations or international bodies.
Eh, that's like me just saying my house is it's own nation, it's like the family guy bit (but at least in that there was a legal loophole in the show). That isn't a nation and it doesn't have a football team.
No its not because Sealand is not on British Teritory
