bale is probably one of the most underrated players of all time, the way he dribbles, crosses and scores is magnificent. i hope that the wales national team can really show up in the world cup (even though i'm american, team u.s.a FTW) it's a great story i have to say. Amazing Video.
From a proud 38 year old Welshman, Thank you, and thank you for referring to us as Cymru. Fantastic video. Lots of goosebumps watching those goals go in. Diolch yn fawr Maqwell.
100 percent! It could of gone the other way completely but Chris really managed to harness the emotion, considering he was stepping into massive shoes he worked miracles
This Welsh side very much reminds me of the Ireland team of the late 80s and 90s. Save for one or two superstars (Bale and Ramsey in this case), they aren't necessarily the most gifted individuals but are very well coached, difficult to beat and seem to have a great sense of togetherness. Rob Page deserves huge credit for managing to pick up where Gary Speed and Chris Coleman left off.
No way! I can’t believe this! I ask for this like 6 months ago and my wish has came true! Thanks soo much Maqwell! Much love, keep up the grind from Wales! ❤🏴
29:48 oh man when Gareth said "none" I burst into tears and laughter. It really broke the tension that had built up. What a crazy road it's been! Great documentary! Ardderchog! ❤
As a Welsh person, this is very nice, haven't seen the video yet, but I am really excited even though we lost against Belgium we played beautifully. I love this team, its something that makes being a Welsh person feel special. Seeing the national team come to the works cup, and the dedication set by the players is fascinating. I'm really excited for the Poland game and the world cup. CYMRU!!!!! That video nearly sent me to tears, absolutely incredible maqwell
just wanted to drop in and say incredible video essay for the Welsh, but also I wanted to say to any Welsh people in the comments, you easily have one of the best and most metal flags in the world. Good luck for now and in the future at the World Cup from a resident American. That opening game is something I'm very much looking forward to with good sportsmanship and spirits. Incredibly happy for your nation.
As a Real Madrid fan who has had mixed feelings about Gareth Bale, this video made me appreciate the Welsh hero so much more. Brilliant essay video as usual, man. Much love.
Cometh the age cometh the man. What a man Gareth Bale is. No doubt Gary Speed is smiling down on them right now. Fkin max making me cry when he releases a doc. Good stuff man
I actually was in Paris when England and Wales played each other, I was just trying to get to the Eiffel Tower and I went through the courtyard of a watch party and it was insane. I didn’t know much of football during that time but I know the energy was absolutely insane and spectacular. I didn’t realize what special moment in football history was happening in front of my eyes but to look back I’m blessed that I was there to witness it.
I too was at that Fanzone in Paris. One of the most memorable moments of my life. Can't wait for the tournament as it might be another 50 years ti we qualify, good luck to all teams involved.
Man, this vid is probably the VERY BEST you have done. I agree wholeheartedly to the narrative of Gareth Bale being undeserving of the massive hatred from spanish media. Yeah, Real Madrid was paying Bale a massive wage, but their fans were a bunch of ungrateful wretches to him. The "Wales, Golf; Madrid. In that Order" would have never happened if they supported Bale as they supported other foreigners like Cristiano, Benzema, Marcelo, Kroos, Varane, Casemiro and Modric. F*ck all biased media. Also, really classy tribute to Gary Speed you made there. Kudos.
as a welsh person, seeing that bale free kick in the 2016 euros was absolutely bloody magical. Shame that we got demolished in the world cup but that tournament was worth it
Great video and I appreciate not only the sporting history of Wales but also the history of the country, its politics, its language and people. Had a good laugh at that trigger warning too. Ding dong. The witch is dead.
This is going to be one of my favourite video from this channel for a long while. As someone who never kmew the hostory of Welsh qualifiers I felt the sea of emotions at every struggle they faced.
Brilliant essay! Genuinely SO good. Thanks so much Maqwell. Incredibly detailed, with limited sheep jokes too - which is VERY refreshing. Also your pronunciations were perfect 👍 As a welsh fan, long may our underdog status continue. Ymlaen! 🏴
Maqwell, thank you for this amazing video, as a 24 year old Welshman who has followed wales football since I was 7, it’s amazing to see someone tell our journey and be able to put it into such an amazing video! People don’t always understand why we are so passionate, but we are still here and not going anywhere! Yma o hyd ar ben yr byd!
Fantastic video. I think you can see from all the love in the comments how much it means to us cymro, Maq. The team of 2016 and the era of Gareth Bale is Gary Speed's legacy and we couldn't have done it without him. Still though, after all the pain and all the nearly years filled with heartbreak, we've finally arrived. Thanks for shining a light on our story!
Idk if this is just me but I absolutely love your national team content ESPECIALLY these ones that you take a national team and dive into everything (plus I love it when the team is “lesser know” like for some reason I just love the Vietnam one over and over again)
Thank you so much man. I’m a proud Welsh boy and I love going to their games and I knew a fair bit but this was actually kinda inspirational. For example, I knew Gary speed was a player, but Ididn’t know he died. Thanks for this video Maqwell
My opinion doesn't matter much, but I'd love a video essay about Uruguays National Team, seeing as how they hosted and won the first WC and are history makers.
Loved the essay you are really starting to nail them even if the numbers dont always reflect it. Great choice of music also it fitted the narration perfectly!
What a fantastic video, I genuinely love all of these recaps about underdog national teams and their history, it's so great to see new and untold stories. Your channel is amazing, keep it up!!!
i just love those essays, and i really appreciate your effort, i can only imagine how many hundreds of hours you spent. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
1:29 I lived in Kennington for years! I know that park well and used to run there. I didn't realise that where Wales scored their first international goal. Amazing!
What a great video. Some of us are spoiled since we see our national teams constantly qualify for the WC. It will be amazing in Wales when they get to see Wales in the WC since 1958.
Awesome video. Very inspirational. Love these longer format videos. It was great to learn more history about the beautiful game. Keep up the good work.
Hi Maqell, I am from Hungary 🇭🇺 and I love your content very much. I already commented this on an earlier video but the first vid I saw from you was the Hungarian one, which for me felt like the best video you made. I'm sure you saw how are nation is doing so well and like this video, you can make a series of uprising of national teams and make a part 2 of Hungary's. Anyway, continue making bangers 💯💯
ngl he's the one who would be happy to upload even if he's unconsistent or even make a 5 hour essay, you will just be happy that just uploads man, great essay max❤
so proud of our cymru for how far we’ve managed to come. even though the world cup didn’t pan out how we wanted it to, getting there was enough for us. in this new and uncertain post-bale & co. era, an unbelievable draw achieved in split versus a world-class croatian team gives y wal goch much needed reassurance that the future of our football is in safe hands. diolch am y fideo, it was very touching. cymru am byth 🏴❤️

From a proud 38 year old Welshman, Thank you, and thank you for referring to us as Cymru. Fantastic video. Lots of goosebumps watching those goals go in. Diolch yn fawr Maqwell.
The defining segment in this video was Gary Speed's sudden death and Chris Coleman transforming that emotion into resilience.
100 percent! It could of gone the other way completely but Chris really managed to harness the emotion, considering he was stepping into massive shoes he worked miracles
ramsey and bale, what a duo, always there to drag wales out of tough situations

I'm glad we finally acknowledge Bale's role in the international scene. He can now enjoy a World Cup.
As a Welsh man this documentary made me happy! Its nice people want to find out about our history
Thanks maqwell, I'm Welsh and I can't believe you've covered our story 🙌🙌🙌

As a Welshman, my man knows more about our football team than I ever did, da iawn

Hope the rise continues for our buddies in Wales. From Scotland

Cometh the age cometh the man. What a man Gareth Bale is. No doubt Gary Speed is smiling down on them right now.
Fkin max making me cry when he releases a doc. Good stuff man
My favorite FIFA career was training the Wales national team while training Swansea, it was so fun revealing a Bale for every position
As a French I would love to see a video about our 2008 - 2010 magnificent banter era.
There are SO many things to say
hehehe that would be something
Brilliant video. Reminds me of why I'm so proud to be Welsh 🏴🏴🏴
As a Welshman I just want to say this is a really excellent video and very well researched. Thank you for making this 👍🏼
I am once again asking kindly for a video essay on Malta 🇲🇹. Thanks for the goated videos! 💪🏻 💪🏻
I remember a match between Malta and Italy where the Maltese midfield was able to contain Pirlo

As a Welshman I think its really dope we're finally getting some recognition :)
I love how Americans always apologize for pronunciation... and the English just blatantly butcher names almost intentionally.
As an Irish fan I’m hoping we have a similar story over the next few years
Chwarae teg oedd hwn fidio dda!!
Loved this one, I learnt so much about my team, diolch!
And your Welsh was pretty good!! Don't put yourself down.
haha appreciate it man!
Ur grasp of the context and nuance of all of this is top notch! Mad respect. Thank you so much, it gives a flavour of feeling part of the whole thing.

Paul Bodin was a penalty kick specialist for Swindon and very rarely missed
