Has football ever caused a war? No. Except for that one time it kind of did.

The competitive kids:

1. War is bad
2. War is not good

Sounds good to me

[Joe-vukr]

“Pass the ball"
“I have no legs"

This channel is gold!

Did I really just get a self harm disclaimer on an oversimplified video?

[WuzzyYT]

You’re wrong unless you got it right

El Salvador and Honduras : *Fighting*
America : *Quietly stealing bananas in the background.*

[dianasanchez]

I'm from a Salvadoran family, I remember my father telling me this story and i didn't believe him at first.

[Jpk]

I never thought that I'd get a self harm disclaimer on a video about some stick figures fighting about soccer/football.

[perriwenplays]

Fun fact: the Football War was the last war in which there dogfights between piston-powered WWII era fighters.

[darlenesandoval]

My family is from El Salvador . I did a project and mentioned this in high school, my teacher thought I made it up 😂

[ricardo.acdhnd]

Side note here: The international community/news forgot about this on the 2nd day because the Apolo 11 was launched that day.

The Football War of 1969:
Belligerents:
El-Salvador Vs Honduras

Winner: USA

[xwarped]

Damn, that guy literally threw a car at the hotel!

[mr.turtle]

I like the part where the guy throws a car into the hotel

[solomon]

Discretion Advised. Really? I just want to watch a group of animated people go to war because both their football teams suck.

[mohamedmeskini]

a kid couldn't name those two countries
this enraged his father, who punished him severely

[tyfmgem]

Oversimplified: Quick! You have two seconds to name these two countries
Me, watching the video for the sixth time: Easy. Eldorus and Honsavador!

[glossyraspberries]

I’m a Honduran, and my dad talks about this all the time. I searched it up, and found this video. Thanks for explaining, because I had no idea what the hell he was talking about. Thanks lol

[pyrosanta]

Did anyone get like a weird notification about this video causing self harm or suicide cause this is a history thing

[canadaballplayz]

Fun fact: When the UN called a meeting discussing whether Taiwan should be recognised internationally as a country or not, El Salvador was the one and only country who voted for them to be recognised.
