Mike Bassett Half time teamtalk

[goddo4]

45 seconds into the video, he nearly hits the coach with a back of the hand, its the funniest thing ever, being Irish, when he rants on and at the end "England lose 4-0"

[Revival1969]

LMAO!!

[jayne1234521]

dont think its funny i think its bob

[fuji4real]

Click like if you actually got here through eurosport link :)

[adammark1983]

I hope both Fabio Capello and Sir Alex Ferguson watching this

[KarlBreno]

Great movie!



[richieboi81]

Classic and so *bleeeeep* true

[tomharding]

Are those Braille subtitles?

[hhumpo21]

Brilliant piece of acting

[kenny12619]

jesus

[aLexBeckerr95]

Inspirational half time team talk

[aLexBeckerr95]

Inspirational team talk

[cuthbera]

This gets better and better every single time I watch it! Pure quality!

[TaffTalk]

"England loose 4 - 0", just like real life then, ho ho ho.

At least us Sheep Shaggers admit our national team is utter shite, and England thinks they have a chance every tournament.

2014 = Brazil/Holland/Argentina/Germa­­ny Winners.

[boyleb1]

@TaffTalk spain might have something to say about that

[bustergaa]

@TaffTalk What reason does it give you for you too say that? Sounds like an obsession, ask most England fans and they will admit that we aint as good as you keep making us out to be, you seem to be somone who just believes everything the media says, Personally and honestly England are a Knockout round team around Second Round to Quarter Final, On par with Mexico.

[ephabouyed]

@TaffTalk Don't forget Spain

[nckweeks]

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep!!! If they had a swear box in that changing room he'd be skint.

[iamverycreative]

is this real or just a film? lol imagine ferguson ..............

[northshore7x]

Lets play the SHOTS game.........everytime the manager says BLEEP.........take a shot.........

[76ted]

Where's benson and hedges? Brilliant!!

[JacobMilner]

. . England lose 4-0 - hahahah!

[maddogdfc]

hahaha this is legendary.

[MOONKey19051994]

fat Hitler :-O :D

[Joee1889]

It's just like Warnock lol

[davesmith7891]

@Joee1889

Nah, this guy is a lot more articulate than Colin.

[Gallers]

England lose 4-0.

[Zebisnaga]

classic!

[lfc011]

fat hitler !!! :P 

[1986ant1986]

this was based on Sven

[robbietk94]

This scene never gets old. Funnily, 9 years after this film, Bassett/Tomlinson's words still have deeper meaning, there are 1000s of kids out there who would die to wear that shirt and show more passion than what some of the older lads do now.

[dsbaker90]

Just watched the Any Given Sunday half time team-talk before this. This Mike has the edge.

[dtpipit]

he should have been there at half time against germany!!!

[N4TH4N09]

......................England lose 4:0

[Critchy39]

Reminds me of myself on Football Manager

[efc19988]

sounds like me on fifa :D haha

[youwhatpal]

this fucking hillarious

[jamez00]

and after all that "england loose 4 - 0" classic lol

[MegahyperDaniel]

So much for motivation

[T800System]

WHATS WRONG WITH YEOUU!!?!?! GET YA ****ING FINGERS OUT!

[TheSteadicam]

Harry Redknapp

[pchaz88]

bleepin brilliant

[daveandodrummer]

Ricky Thomlinson...LEGEND!

[daveandodrummer]

This is in my top 3 films! This scene is ace! Heard he got some pointers for it from Peter Reid

[kritspa]

panagoulias

[kritspa]

mmmmmmmmmmm

[pot4000]

He looks like a Scouse Adolf Hitler

[macdaddy912]

@pot4000 haha great call!

[SatiricalRemedy]

@pot4000 i was thinking exactly that haha

[stuartk]

Four more years

[cozigothi]

So mike Basset's team talks were based on sven goran erkison's then..? :D

[lanzel23]

is this supposed to be taking the mickey out of neil warnock or the former leyton orient manager john sittion ?

[vinnx96]

funny thing is that i act like that, at the computer screen when I play Football Manager lol

[Rattlesnakemeuk]

@vinnx96 That's not lol, that's get a fucking life.

[Autonova]

you know why?! cos it's half time and we're 2-0 down to the fucking mexicans!

[AdamFitzer]

that's how you fucking act.

[jlambden94]

".....england lose 4-0"

If that teamtalk didn't get them going for the second half what would ? :L

[donnomc69er]

haha english wankers

[UKRThracian]

How can England lose 4-0 after a talk like this! haha

[j400wel]

we need bertie

[workingclassbum]

This is somewhat my feelings after the Algeria game

[MultiTrollHunter]

England lose 4-0....................hahahah­aahh the monotone way that is delivered is perfect ahahahaha

[GlennAsh]

We couldn't have done any worse in South Africa if Mike had been there to take charge...

[gifted67]

Fabio Bassett

[Mikey2936]

Fabio Capello should have done this during the entire world cup

[futurez12]

I love it when Basset is talking about 'Wacko' and he says: " I don't know what he does to the opposition, but he scares the shit out of me" lol

And when Wacko kicks someone over the advertsiment boards and Basset yells: "nothing wrong with that" haha

[Tellingtalesthefirst]

a message to Capello perhaps?

[ddxjon]

3 managerial changes, and the same outcome.... its not the manager... the players are shit.

[Mindsmog]

capello after algeria ^^

[emilyabbie]

I wonder if Sven ever did a half tme team talk like this???

[rtk316ytshooter94]

Anyone think that Capello should've either done this or played this at half-time today?

[JamieFromBrumHD]

Capello Out.. Bassett In.. Capello Out.. Bassett in..

[dan2009]

This has to be the most inspiring half time team talk I have ever seen. Very articulate ;)

[BloodW0rx2]

this is one of the most underated comedies of all time, it's incredible how much I laugh at it every time I watch it, it nevers looses its charm.

[iku05121]

la bombonera stadium? that not in argentina?

[Blummineck]

@iku05121 yes, it's a fictional world cup match in Argentina.

[iku05121]

@Blummineck u not seen the movie? world cup is set in brazil in the film

[pacdata]

Yes, the best team talk ever. Watched this movie on my flight to New Zealand. Was laughing so loudly that half the passengers were looking at me like I was mad. Good times.....

[migthegreek]

Is the bleeping in the actual film?

[tonyoffpompey]

@migthegreek yeah mate - the film is made like a documentary - it's class mate

[iku05121]

@migthegreek yeah, makes it ten times funnier imo!

[clarkey21211]

best football film ever made

[Bobmassaro93]

".... England lose 4 - 0" lmfao XD

[mastergx1]

...was stoned first time i heard this - nearly pissed myself

[kisbie]

This film was made during Keegan's reign and is largely a spoof of the Graham Taylor doc of course. By the time it came out though, Sven was in charge and doing well, so a lot of critics dismissed it as 'outdated'.

But then it became topical again under McClaren. Now we've got Fabio it's - kinda - off the mark once more, but you just know it will be on it again one day.

[ahouseisnotamotel]

That Rufus Smalls couldn't hit the side of a renault ESPACE.

[davo614]

LMAO

[FlaviusConstantius]

Heh heh, classic English team talk. No tactics, no plan B, just a foul-mouthed rant about passion and heart!

[razocaine]

3 cheers for ramirez?!!

[jackleemate]

amazing. wonder how many takes this took? Ricky Tomlinson is a God amongst men, 'nuff said.

[kisbie]

@jackleemate Just the one, according to the DVD commentary. He was allowed to ad lib this part.

[e6d6d6yheartagram]

....England lose - four nil  lmao

[zaccrosland]

does anyone know the song, on me head son in this film, is it a actual song :L

[hensvoie]

Brilliant film. "Pass it to Basset" great line. I think this film was based on Graham Taylor's experience as england manager, when they documented his life.

[jamez00]

england loose 4 - 0 lmao that line made this vid for me :D

[TheDazMarz]

Reminds me of my own manager... Only less swearing in this video. haha

[doodlestroodle]

I just linked to this from the Leeds United 606 board. To imagine Fergie doing this is priceless!

[jimmyshitbags]

england will be playing four four fucking two.

[STVG71]

La Bombonera? I thought that was where Boca Juniors played? Doesn't Mexico play at Azteca?

Someone fill me in.

[ynwajcg]

They were playing at the world cup, in Argentina.

[romanuis14]

well theres also a stadium in Mexico nicknamed La Bombonera where Toluca plays.

[fizban99]

it was in the World Cup which was being hosted in Brazil

[themightygooners4321]

England vs. Mexico, according to the narrator, took place in La Bombonera Stadium (which is in Buenos Aires, Argentina), which along with Boca Junior's famed stadium is another name for Nemesio Diez Stadium in Toluca, Mexico due to its similar suffocating dimensions. However, the shot actually shows Morumbi Stadium, in São Paulo. (wiki)

[NastyLucas]

Perhaps the imaginary world cup being portrayed in the movie is being played in Argentina. (as England only play European opposition to qualify for the world cup...) I haven't seen the film mind but I'd have thought that much would be fairly obvious.

-Before anyone says it, yes this years' will be hosted South Africa and, no they don't have a stadium there called La Bombonera.

[FlaviusConstantius]

This world cup is in Brazil, according to the film.

[MarcoFreddoJacko911]

Never mind saying things like ''let's re-group lads'' that is the way to do a teamtalk!

[dickinsm]

i can imagine capello doing that xD

[ljvwright]

This scene never ever gets old. I must have seen it at least 50 times and i still laugh like the 1st time. Legendary teamtalk

[LaurenDrummondsMan]

@ljvwright  Same here LMAO

[oasis4ever92]

Don't think he's swearing enough :P

[pipnufc]

Mate reminded me of this not long ago, first thing i did is youtube it. Loving it :D

[Kiz2000]

One of the funniest films I've seen. If this is how badly he reacted after being 2-0 down at half time, I wonder what he was like in the dressing room at the end!

[Zorg2006]

Total rip-off of Bostock's Cup.

[eidurgudjohnsenfan]

is he speaking morse code?

[JacopeX]

klhflaskghslmigasogsodgnsdagnh­sguohsmgnmsdilgnsdognsfmgonsdf­mguosdognifmog,nsognsgs YOU GOT THAT!!!???...................E­ngland lose 4-Nil. LMAO!

this shows how good an actor ricky really is when during the other 87 minutes he's just a lovable idiot but in these 2 mins he was scary!

[nickalbion1234567]

I wonder how many times they had to do this to make sure nobody laughed?!

[hughesa12]

mike basset is the funniest film i have ever seen.

[sbaxter99]

this is so funny i love the film and everytime i watch this i still laugh lol

[danstrummer]

The fact it's Ricky Tomlinson just makes it ten times funnier. Think I just fucked up my ribs laughin!

[domthearcher]

i'd do more than shout at them and throw things at them i'd give them a backhand slap round the face as well lol

[Regdot]

I wonder how mad he would be after the 4-0 in the locker room.

[sbaxter99]

i love this film its one of my favourites. After the game he would probabaly lock them in the dressing room for a night. lol love it

[MancsRShite]

love the bit at the end after the teamtalk "england go on to lose.. 4-0" lmao!

[momopiile]

NOW that is how u talk to hopeless cunts.

[Arsenal2247]

What about Alf Ramsey? He won us a bleedin cup!

[Barron198]
