Challenge accepted! Tell us your city and we’ll fly there and play a match together 💪
@@fiftyfiftysoccer liverpool UK 💙💙👍👍👍
@@neiljameson4275 Deal! We'll come to Liverpool when we get back over there and we'll play. Hit us up on Instagram and we'll work out the details!
@@fiftyfiftysoccer I will do thanks for the invite... Its on 👍👍👍👍
@neiljameson4275 you better fucking win now mate, you are doing it for the city!
I feel like non of these FootGolf pros can kick a ball , this looks so easy haha
We'd love to play you on the channel! Let us know what city you're in and we'll fly to you for a match. ✈
It may look easy but, if you think it actually is, you have never played. These guys all played well. I've seen professional footballers play this game and they weren't all that straight off.
its a lot harder than you think
@@fiftyfiftysoccerHow about in another country, the Netherlands? 😉
As a real footballer and golfer, I feel like I could nail this
Sweet! Want to play?
Really enjoyed this ! I play footgolf a couple times a year with a large group of mates and didn't actually know it was a proper sport 😂 would love to get into it as a sport ! Subbed
Awesome!
My toxic trait is that despite never trying this game I'm fully convinced I could be World number 1.
Let's play! What city are you in? We'll come and play a round!
@@fiftyfiftysoccer Manchester! Let’s go! I’m ready.
@@mrjonesraps Cool! We'll be back over there and will hit you up to play. What is the best way to contact you?
Holy crap, i watched the whole video and was extremely entertained and then i realised they only have 324 subscribers!!! With this type of content I wouldve expected at least 50k. Keep it up guys!
Thank you so much!
The satisfying drops when the ball goes in 🔥
It just hits different
Well played lads!!
First time watching, most say it was a pleasure ! Subbed and hope you do well guys 😊!
Great video guys! I really have to try footgolf sometime New sub earned now im going to spend the night binging on the rest of your content.
Thanks so much!!!
Never played this but this seriously looks awesome. As a new footballer and someone who has played golf a bit, I don’t think I’d be terrible and I really wanna try this.
You definitely should! It’s a ton of fun. Thanks for watching!
As a golfer and soccer player in high school, I used to say we should have a sport that crossed them both, this is so cool.!
Love the energy of all the comment replies. Must be so much harder than it looks
Pretty sure id give these a good go on tgus game looks very intresting i use to pmay footy saturday n sunday cm use to pinging a good ball
Underrated
you can't be serious that these 2 are the best in the world… 🤨
Yep! A World #1 and a World Champion. It's a fun CZcams video, not a tournament. Check out their highlights and you'll see them in competition mode - a whole different level.
Wanna see a match against de bruyne
Comments on this are hilarious, literally everyone thinks they're incredible 😂
The comments on here are ridiculous. I've played that course regularly, it's both more difficult than it looks and the pros are also much better than the commenters are assuming they are.
Definitely would love to challenge you guys! I think it would be close for sure
Let’s do it! What city do you live in?
That "godverdomme" 😂😂 didn't know he knew some Dutch words
I played this about 8 years ago. Only just finished!
None of them seem to have particularly impressive ball-striking skills but very impressive accuracy when close to the hole
wonderful
I think the word "only" would be more appropriate than "best".
I've never played this sport, but played football and play golf. I admit that as a simple watcher it looks probably easier than it is in real life. So I understand the comments of people feeling bold and claiming that they could do better (they closed with a -9, remember it). The rules are probably making it look even easier, you just take the best shot and have 2 tries.
If you make it out to California, lmk. I have another professional I play on tour with who'd love to match
First time viewer. I imagine there are players out there than can reach the greens on the par 4's or am I crazy? Maybe it's the angle but it seems like the "tee" shots aren't going very far.
The camera makes it seem not far! We can assure that is way more difficult than it looks on camera. These guys, especially when playing on tour and not on a CZcams channel for fun, absolutely full send the ball. Pretty damn impressive how far they can kick.
What the hell is wrong with all the haters in the comments? Apparently every commenter is some kind of secret footgolf champion, who knew? 🤷Weird why they aren't getting out on the course and beating some course records and collecting some trophies and prize money instead of writing comments how they would be so much better.
Let’s be honest, if more people actually played it these blokes wouldn’t have a chance
I’m not hating at all, I’m just confused on some of the longer holes why they don’t hit it further.
You have to realise football is the most popular sport in the world, a lot of people have played it at semi pro level, and it's easy to spot that they use only one type of shot, and that their foot placements when kicking the ball are not ideal, that's why a lot of the people are saying they could do better, because a lot of the people probably could
Is it just me, or do Ben and Mati look like the Matt le Tiss and Gianfranco Zola of footgolf 😂😂
Two big of the footgolf in the world 👍👏🕳️⚽⛳
I'd like to see Ronaldinho do this.
Same
Any reason why the Jabulani ball was used by the other team?
It's the ball the rolls the most, so almost every pro player uses the Jabulani.
Don't you remember the Magic of Jabulani?
When Tshabalala scored that amazing goal for South Africa in the 2010 World Cup! Couldn’t be more proud being a South African 🇿🇦. Jabulani means rejoice in Zulu and we all did after that goal!
If these are worlds best i need to start playing. Could drive the green on basically any one of those holes.
Sweet! Want to prove it on camera? We will fly to wherever you are and play a round together - would be fun!
Sounds like Harry Kane
The fact that he has exactly the same name as me is literally throwing my head right off
I want in on this challenge! Detroit, MI area!
Let’s do it!
If these are the best in the world im literally a long drive champion
That's awesome. Wanna show us on the channel? We'll fly to you!
Michael Avenatti’s doppelgänger 😂
22:11 Godverdomme is Dutch and means God damnit
I was thinking the same thing hahahaha
Should have played from the same tees
I honestly think I could beat these guys and I've never played it in my life
Sweet! Want to play your first round on camera with us to see if that's true? Drop us your city! We're planning some trips and we'll fly to you to play a round. Cheers!
Why don't you use a back spin style kick, like you would play a cross-field long ball in regular football?
It all depends on the shot! In footgolf you’re reading the land but all grass speeds. Lots to consider. We use back spin on chips and bunker shots.
Where is this course??
Gatwick Footgolf outside of London!
How do you pull this off with less than 300 subs?!
Interesting to see the pros use Jabulani balls.
Yeah it’s a little unfair, to be honest
I don't know the rules, but wouldn't going with the left foot have made that shot easier?
All these guys are pretty damn good.
I would pay to see a professional footballer play with these guys and just consistency kick it twice as far as they do of the tee
Sweet! Can we send you a Venmo request?
@@fiftyfiftysoccer how much do you want? Will depend on level of pro player. I will do £100 for premier league, £50 for championship, £20 for anything below, but must be legitimate professional.
@@TheRausing1 We'll be going back to the UK so we'll see what we can work out.
Hey, this was randomly on recommended, never played or watched footgolf before-
They seem like top guys and clearly both know and have developed a lot of strategy in the game, and they do clearly have good feel for distance on the approach but if this is the best in the world standard, i think footgolf has a long way to develop as a sport.
It may be over pretention to say but i stopped playing football 6 years ago to focus on work, was a midfielder with good range of passing, playing at good amateur standard and genuinely think that given a few rounds i'd be competing with these guys, especially on the drives. it looks like maybe a safe choice to do this but they were both kicking pretty weak in distance and some fo the wayward tee shots were actually amusingly poor . They were always putting shape on drives that clearly would've been better off with a straight, longer drive suggesting neither of them seem capable of the technique required for cutting through the ball to drive it far and straight? I think i'd be taking less shots to get to the green on several of these holes honestly.
Do you know the standard of football they played at before playing footgolf?
Edit: Just realised they are wearing gatwick footgolf gear as well, so this is their home course/ workplace? Yeah, i'm pretty sure that given a week of practice, any even decent amateur standard footballer would be wiping the floor with these guys. Get yourselves a league-standard player with even a hand-full of rounds practice and they'd be embarrassing them.
Mate I get what you are saying but at the same time the grass on the course is different from the type you and I would play on. For the fairway and green the grass is very short and thus the ball carries quite a bit further and there are lots of divets in the course that a normal football pitch does not have. I have played footgolf before and I can tell you it is definitely one of those it looks easier than it actually is type of sports.
Exactly. Any half decent amateur with 60+ meters of carry would quickly become far better than these guys
Are the balls for footgolf heavier? It’s like they are kicking bowling balls.
People who have not tried this IRL don't seem to realize how hard it is to anticipate how the ball bounces and rolls on an uneven surface. Too bad the video doesn't tell how long these holes are.
I mean tbh just watching the way they kick the ball, they were never good at football/ soccer. A highschool player can ping the ball further and with more accuracy than these guys do
@@Jensen-C Cool! Can you connect us with some of those players that are better than these guys? We'd love to play with them!
@@paulbiller4071 Yeah we'd love to film with some big names. I think the most important thing people are missing here is that these are the two best players in the world playing for a CZcams channel, not a tournament. They're just having some fun. We were around when they were doing some serious rounds and preparation and it was a whole different level. Just like a pro soccer player isn't going to go as hard for a silly CZcams penalty challenge.
🤣☠️
Is this for real? Best players in the world😂
Gareth Bale will defo dominate this sport.
Just imagine Juninho playing this
Pirlo and de bruyne
I respect the skill getting it to the green! But the "putting" is a joke, holrs need to be at least 25% smaller, my 6 year old could tap one in them from 8 feet
Sweet! We’d love to meet them and see them putt! It seems easy but can be quite difficult. Maybe your 6 year old is awesome.
I would have booted that joint from tee to green easy
Want to prove it? We'll fly to you and play a round on the channel!
Genuinley would beat all of this lot at footgolf i play at topgolf in addlestone on there course and id cream this lot 😂
I feel like this course is really easy i never played or have any idea what courses r supposed to look like but feel like it’s very easy
Compared to a normal pro course, yeah, it's shorter, but still technically difficult. They're also saving their legs in this video because they had tournaments after this.
The best two foot golfer who are not good enough to play real soccer
Are these specially made courses or did they just rob an old golf course?😊
This one is specially made.
What is this? golf for the extreme handicapped? My golf handicap score would drop immensely if i could kick.
How about this - we'll fly to you wherever you are and play a Golf + Footgolf round on the channel. You in?
Makes no sense. There is no way your handicap would drop if you could kick a golf ball instead of using a club.
@@ryanpea6026 putting 🤣
I think if anyone half decent played this it would be an easy win agasint "the best in the world" but theres not enough intrest for this kind of stuff with actual decent footballers! Thats my take anyway
It's much harder than it looks! We're working on getting some pro players on the channel so we can see how they do. There are a couple of videos out there and they do alright but lack the technical skill when it comes to approach shots, putts, reading the green, etc. Will be fun to see how it all plays out!
I've never played, but I don't see anyone chipping or hitting the ball like a far pass, everyone wants to curve it, on the 3rd I think it was I would've hit it with the trivela pass, me and my boy Jorge would smash all 4 guys!!!
Tell us where you live and we'll come to you and play a round on the channel! Would love to see if you can actually beat us.
Why does that guy look like George Bush?
I wouldn’t normally comment on this but surely this isn’t hard?
It's easier than golf (of course) but much harder than it looks to shoot low. Courses are designed to ensure that there are very few straight rolls.
It’s not
I genuinely have to ask if these are really the two best footgolfers in the world because one of them has a kicking technique that leaves a lot to be desired
I thought they were bad off the 1st tee but the guy on the 2nd tee barely got the ball past the litter bin.
The fact that you drew with the best 2 in the world also cast doubts about the level of competition.
Perhaps 'We played the only 2 footgolfers in the world' would be a more accurate title?
Yep, they're the best in the world! Also, you have to remember this a fun video with some CZcamsrs, not a real tournament where they're going all out. Check out some of their tournament highlights and you'll start to understand their incredible skill level a bit more. Cheers!
I bet I can beat all of them easily
Sweet! Want to play a round on the channel? We'll fly to where you are and play!
@@fiftyfiftysoccer Im down! I’m in Mexico City, there’s a foot golf course 1:30hrs from cdmx
@@marianofigueroa8458 Sweet! We're going to get back on the road in the next few months and work to make it happen!
I've been lucky to play this sport from a fairly young age thanks to there being a course 20 mins from my childhood home.
People used to despise me for enjoying this on a Sunday, instead of playing 11's. 😅
Great bud can’t help but think the ball striking is poor…..Ben is the only one who looks like he’s played a decent level of football.
Footgolf is a very different sport than soccer/football. Ben held the World #1 ranking for a while and Mati has won the World Championship, so we’d say they play at a pretty decent level 🤷
@@fiftyfiftysoccer I know it’s different I play both….that wasn’t my point. My point was the poor ball striking. As I said, Ben was the only one who drills the ball properly with his balance & weight correctly channelled to the strike.
I played div 3 footy & was a pga golfer for 7 years. I have skin in this game 👍
Fair enough! There were definitely some weak shots in the round. But Mati is literally a footgolf world champion, so he’s got the good stuff.
We’ll fly to you if you want to play a round on the channel - let us know!
I think it's a matter of perspective tbh. Looks like they ain't hitting the ball far, but first of all that's not always the point, secondly they probably hit farther than you even with your supposed ball striking expertise.
@@Moldylocks they do not hit it further than me….Ben possibly does on occasions but the others not even close. The ball striking is so poor.
Is this a kid on 😂
So the best footgolfers in the world can hardly kick a ball? Interesting… What is their max carry? 30 meters?
Omg, I'd destroy you at this game
I'm in UK, take up my offer if you dare
You literally kick a football like my 12 year old daughter
We’re in! We’re planning a trip back to the UK and would love to play. How can we reach you? Do you have an Insta or WhatsApp we can DM?
I play rugby and would beat these I reckon
Cool! Tell us what city you live in and we'll fly to you and see if that's true!
Nottingham my friend UK
@@olliewelsh7892 Sweet! We're coming back to the UK relatively soon. Where can we DM you to set up a match?
They're the best at this.? Are there only 5 players in the whole world.? Lol
Boghey is useless every shot going far left
None of you can kick a soccer ball
Is this like paid well enough to be your only job or is this just a hobby for them? From what I can see there would be better players if this was finacially more attractive sport. I am not saying its easy, they are very good, but there is no doubt I’ve seen better ballers.
These guys play full time. You also have to remember that this was a fun video shot for CZcams, not a tournament. The sport is not easy and they are on a whole different level.
This sports needs to stop being played
I’d definitely beat these lot
Good ball = good pass. You wouldn’t really say good ball in these scenarios because they’re not passing to anyone. You’d say ‘good hit’ or ‘good strike’
I'd say good ball and not think twice about it, maybe its about having fun too, but who knows 😉
Never played this game in my life and can confidently say I'd beat everybody in this video
Ball striking is pretty poor on alot of the shots.
You should play! It’s a fun sport. Let us know once you’ve had a chance to practice and we’ll come to you and play a round on the channel.
Same. Definitely feel like if you actually played soccer, especially at a high level, you kinda just don’t ever want to play this game.
I’d beat them 😂😂😂
Wanna play? We’ll fly to you and play a round on the channel!
@@fiftyfiftysoccer go on then lad I’ll batter you
