ESPN Sportscenter soccer commercial (the official unofficial version)

[TheCR7Lover7]

Hahah he should be on Barcelona! You'll fit right in!

[castlevamp]

John would fit right in with barcelona

[blanca088]

Funniest commercial ever love the sport an always will! :) fake or no fake falls jus makes the game more interesting lol

[sammi17091]

4 me I think soccer is more fun to watch I understand it more an I think it's more intense I'm from USA and it's true that most people don't respect the sport cuz of all the faking ingerys but I think eventually America will learn to love it

[sammi17091]

Haha I can watch this commercial over and Over again and still laugh like it was the first time I saw it :)

[gio957]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MD52324]

thanks for the upload i found the official version /watch?v=gHebuF8tNEM

[MIXEDUPTHROWNTOGETHR]

this is how america views soccer and ESPN got it right. can anyone explain to me why people in soccer do this? is it some sort of strategy? i don't like soccer to begin with but if this can get eliminated I may give it another try

[Tminus18]

Erika must have watched this commercial before the match

[tygiants24]

@Tminus18 For real, that was ridiculous. And people wonder why soccer isn't respected (as a whole) in America.

[Headcheezonium]

Italian Football in 10 seconds.

[WattzBritish]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, OHHHHHHHHHHHHH. love it

[zrunescapeblogger]

love it. thanks for posting

[noleEagle92]

if the usa actually cared about soccer as a culture just based off the number of athletes it would dominate in the world cup but like nobody here seems to give a shit about it probally because soccer is fun as hell to play but not as fun to watch as the nfl or march madness etc and alot of americans would rather watch tv then actually play sports and leave it up to inner city blacks to be the athletes

[blazer33x]

thank u barca

[ReConVaporZz]

And as far as soccer not having the best athletes, put Devin Hester or Chris Johnson up against Cristiano Ronaldo or Leonel Messi and well see who wins the race.

[ReConVaporZz]

Ray Lewis is way to stocky and slow to be good at soccer, any "slow" player on the field would easily sprint passed ray Lewis and score. Plus he also plays a sport you don't use your feet in, so most likely he's uncoordinated.

[ReConVaporZz]

Derek Jeter wouldn't have the cardio to play because in baseball you sprint for 5 seconds then stop, then sprint another 5 seconds then stop. He can't keep up with the sport.

[ReConVaporZz]

@tres311 First of all If LeBron played soccer since he was 5 yrs old it wouldn't necessarily make him good at it. He's not built to play the sport, tall bodies tend to be uncoordinated with there feet. In other words he would suck.

[allproc24]

Two people don't have a sense of humor. If you don't like this commerical, something is really wrong w/you. This is hilarious!

[toofast4u2une]

anyone who says soccer is for pussies has never played a full game in your life go try running for 90 mins straight while constantly having to use your brain to think of multiple movments you have to make in order to actually win. bet the majority of you haters can't

[XboxDouchetage]

@toofast4u2une Any Sport is hard, and I enjoy watching soccer, but you can't deny all of the diving, etc. It is just absurd.

[iwatchvids520]

hahaha this is the most funny espn commercial ive seen.....i love football/soccer so not dissing the sport just funny

[headsled60]

anyone who say the Canucks flop around the ice against the Bruins looking for calls (Sedin actually had an "embellishment" called against him) will enjoy this commercial even more.

[XboxDouchetage]

@headsled60 Haha fuck the Canucks. They were pussies in that series, and I am a Flyers fan. I even rooted for the Bruins at the end.

[jordanpaszek17]

hahahaha i love it! exactly why i can't stand watching soccer... every 2 minutes someone is laying on the round rolling in "dramatic pain" but end up playing and running just as hard as before. just play the sport and quit being pussies

[tres311]

This commercial epitamizes why americans don't respect the sport or culture behind it lol don't tell me our athletes arnt talented soccer is at best 5th most popular sport if lebron ray lewis and jeter had gay parents that listened to kenny G without contest wed destroy every nation in their beloved sport its too soft and simple for us...

[officialflightmusic]

this is how FLOPPING started in basketball

[MillionDollarSonHQ]

"Thumbs Up" If you thought this commercial was about the NBA Players flopping like European soccer players just to get a foul called, alla Chris Bosh flops on Carlos Boozer

[yngnoob]

lmao that was hilarious!

[pablo6436]

0:17 voice crack

[allproc24]

Yes! I found it! I saw this commercial today on ESPN. I couldn't find it searching through Google, had to use Bing. This is hilarious! Haha. Thanks for posting it! Funny thing though, I'm using YouTube, which is Google, to view the video. Ha. :-)

[tygiants24]

@allproc24 no problem!

[briggsb1]

It's funny because it's true

[AmazingDarius22]

Why soccer isn't popular in the U.S thumbs up if you saw the this alot in the world cup

[16bitchesaintshit]

Ok I have played soccer on many different competitive levels, and have friends who went on to play professional. Soccer is a soft sport, I wouldn't go as far as to call it a pussy sport, but it definitely isn't a tough sport. All of these guys work their upper bodies and it shows, but to no use. If anyone comes near them, they fall and hold whatever is closest to their hands.

[EricaLynn524]

i don't get it lol i feel stupid

[tlhl11]

@EricaLynn524 because most soccer players usually fall for no reason and pretend they're hurt just to try and get a foul call.

[mattyice1231]

best espn commercial

[rajaitlal]

Hilarious!

[ThrisCudor]

Soccer ain't got nothin on hockey

[blackcrackrejack]

@ThrisCudor

Soccer doesn't have anything on the WNBA

[ThrisCudor]

@briggsb1 Obviously you don't know what you're talking about. Hockey is much more of a physically demanding sport than soccer. I'd rather get hit in the face with a soccer ball than a puck. Soccer is more popular because all you need is a soccer ball and a patch of grass. Stop being narrow minded and go to bed.

[briggsb1]

@ThrisCudor I miss read your quote because I completely agree with what you just said accept the go to bed part because I played soccer as a kid and I play Hockey as an adult and the two sports shouldn't even be said in the same breath. Hockey is much more brutal. It's like 2pm. I'm not going to bed.

[ThrisCudor]

@briggsb1 hahaha ok as long as we agree... you don't have to go to bed now

[briggsb1]

@ThrisCudor that's the most ridiculous comment ever

[MrAntiMJ]

I don't care about the physical demands of soccer [a game I played competitively]. The majority of players are soft on almost every level.

However, I credit that to the fans absorbing all the toughness in the stadiums to use on each other.

[Tman311]

typical ESPN fashion showing that they know absolutely nothing about sports, just skimming over everything and giving you the flashy oohs and aahs

[tlhl11]

@Tman311 lol what are you talking about they basically described what every soccer player does during the games if they don't like the call. that was ignorant because if they didn't know anything about sports why are they the #1 sports broadcasting network?

[luissv777]

Barcelona started this new faking trend,, they fucking suck! fuck barcelona ,,, this is why people say soccer is a pussy sport.. bc of the barca fuckers.. pussies

[ledzep219]

@luissv777 you dont know shit about soccer, barca didnt start no trend, this has been going around for years.  Now i understand that you are prolly butthurt that your team lost against what it is believed by everybody, to be the best team in the world. Sir Alex Ferguson said so, Mourinho said so, and many other soccer starts and ppl that know way more about the sport than you do also said so. So stfu and stop bitching

[luissv777]

@ledzep219 ahaha i bet i know way more soccer then you faggot .. n your probably white so stfu ...barca made it famous ,,, name me a couple of players that fake fouls ... i can name you some ... dani alves.. mascherano .. sergio busquets ... aha cmon man just look up barca faking fouls ahaha very funny stuff

[ledzep219]

@luissv777 im argentinian, i would kick your ass in a soccer game, and barca didnt make shit famous, except great soccer. Your probably a mexican idiot that is too blind to see. Look up CR7 diving videos, there is plenty, way more than any of those players you mentioned.

[luissv777]

@ledzep219 lmao ohhhhh your argentinan im scareedd your prob a good actor then ahaha you related to mashrano? hahahahahahah .. and im not mexican you fucking idot lol dude .. look up barca cheating . you can spend the whole dayyyy looking at vids .. and hey messi fucking sucks with out his fuck buddies iniesta and xavi he aint shit

[ledzep219]

@luissv777 wait no, your from el salvador, its cool, you guys are too busy having civil wars over there to play any good soccer. You can talk whenever you guys get into the world cup, or win any cup for that matter. None of the players in your country are good enough to be known internationally so you have to go hating on the rest. Good job hater, keep doing your thing, while messi and his bitchboys keep winning cups

[luissv777]

@ledzep219 lol hey dumbass you know what maradona said about a salvadorian soccer player , Magico Gonzalez .. he said he was the best player in the world lol look it up you dumbfuck .. and no one was talking about El Salvador fuck face so stfu .. lol and about the civil war that was like 20-30 years ago.. yo you know what just stfu you dont know shit .. i know too much soccer for you ...

[luissv777]

@ledzep219 lol hey dumbass you know what maradona said about a salvadorian soccer player , Magico Gonzalez . he said he was the best player in the world .. look it up dumbfuck and the civil war? that was 30 years ago you stupid bitch .. learn b4 you talk lol .. and who was talking about El Salvador? lmaoo no one you fucking idiot ahaha man your so fucking stupid ... i know way more soccer than you

[SeekingTreatment]

@luissv777 soccer players have been faking injuries for decades, get your shit straight

[luissv777]

@SeekingTreatment yeah but not as bad as barca .. and since theyre sooooo fucking good why do they have to do that?? where else on youtube do you see 10 min videos of 1 team faking fouls? nowhere you fucking idoit..

[AUMensGolf]

@luissv777 You're an idiot. Deal with that. It's nothing new.

[luissv777]

@AUMensGolf yeah but now everyone fucking does cuz of them and theyre pros at it.. and your an idiot bc you know it n your just mad ahahaha

[MuzicXfreak]

@luissv777 They're undeniably the best. Quit your bitching hahaha

[MrTvtech9]

@luissv777 I think you spelt Real Madrid wrong

[sirsavesalot29]

haha you guys get it? Its funny cus its true...

[cannonballkid]

Lets argue sports on youtube!

[sniper2606]

omg this is too funny

[oBIueRANGERo]

11th

[alexhi12345]

soccer players are pussies, huge gaping pussies

[blackcrackrejack]

you don't see football players on the ground all the time because they don't cry when they get a little bump. You only see football players on the ground when they literally can't get off the field without help.

[Tman311]

@blackcrackrejack yeah because they're all on amphetamines

[blackcrackrejack]

poo....it may. but that doesn't make up for the fact that 90% of soccer players are pussies

[elliotsoccer]

@blackcrackrejack

Are you seriously saying this man? I know this sounds biased coming from a guy who plays soccer, but we are tougher, have more endurance, are quicker, and more athletic then any other sports teams. I've broken 5 bones playing soccer and I'm only 15 man, then look at football players and you rarely see them get hurt. Yes you see maybe one injury per game, but remember each team has 40+ people, soccer only has 15. Get your stuff right before you troll.

[philip11692]

@elliotsoccer LOL what a joke. "You barely see football players get hurt." Is that a serious statement? Football is the most dangerous sport out there. And the best athletes play Football, basketball, and baseball, why do you think USA soccer sucks so bad on a national scale?

[AndrewTheMexican]

@philip11692 Rugby, Australian, Gaelic, and Irish football are all more high-impact. Hockey is worse beyond any degree with how many games they play (82 games, not too uncommon for back-to-back days). And each skater is skating at close, or more, than 30 mph, so the fast checks that look like they'd be soft hits in football are a lot more dangerous there. Let alone the players who have had throats cut by skates. And as a soccer goalie, I took many concussions from opponents' cleats and knees.

[blackcrackrejack]

@elliotsoccer

Im not trolling......Did you happen to watch the US v Panama game? I must have seen at least 20 guys fall over and act like they have a season ending injury, then 10 seconds later when the camera leaves them they jump up like nothing ever happened. It does take endurance; im not taking away anything from that part of the game. Im saying their pussies cuz they fall over after brushing shoulders with someone. And you never see someone in football get hurt because they play hurt.

[briggsb1]

@elliotsoccer football has way more injuries. They just address them in the locker room not rolling around on the field crying like a 9 year old girl

[bballer191]

@elliotsoccer Are you seriously trying to debate that soccer is more physically demanding or "tougher" than football? Holy shit man I'm sorry but that is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard.. Not trying to insult you here cause I think petty arguments over this internet is lame, but there is no way in hell that that is correct.. And i've played both sports so I know. Football is so much harder on the body and you're way more prone to actual injuries. Sorry dude, but no way.

[poodonk711]

This really pisses me off. Americans cant seem to figure out that soccer requires tons of team work and skill. they always sound so stupid when they talk about soccer.

[92ridethelightning92]

@poodonk711 Oh shit,it's a damn commercial for fuck's sake...

Learn how to laugh once in a while and don't get so fucking BUTTHURT over things like this.

It's really embarrassing...

[blewis88]

@poodonk711 soccer? oh yeah, that sport no one in the usa gives a flying fuck about.

[tlhl11]

@poodonk711 soccer players can't get bumped without getting hurt that's why soccer usually is frowned upon in the U.S. except in the world cup when it involves pride.
