An American Takes 'Football' Quizzes

I have built a following playing Football Manager, but how well does my ‘football’ knowledge stack up? Being American means my exposure to the game was limited at a young age, so I knew my historical knowledge would be terrible. The real question to answer was how many *modern* football/soccer questions would trip me up. Let’s be honest, I’m setting myself up for embarrassment.

American soccer knowledge is something I find myself explaining on stream all the time. I would like to emphasize the fact that understanding the game and those who play it is different. That is all, still a load of fun. Do I have to call it Football all the time now?

Much love,
The Zealand

Living in any country that loves Football means you will pick up so much more knowledge from the media, or friends and relatives also into the sport. I actually think you did pretty well considering

Arsenal: worst good team

Leicester: best bad team

*he ain’t wrong*

Been screaming Sheffield United for half the video 😂😂

People don’t like MK dons because they’re the original Wimbledon club, which was moved to Milton Keynes (about 1.5h drive away from wimbledon). People call them franchise FC cause they’re apparently plastic fans

[anthonyguiness]

MK Dons are hated because they used to be Wimbledon (hence the "Dons" in both their names) who were a big team but a guy called Pete Winkleman bought them sold everything the club owned for his own profit and moved them to Milton Keynes which is the only time that's happened in England at least at a high level. But the reason it was unpopular is because it was 60 miles away from Wimbledon, it also went against the vote that the club had organised to gauge fan opinions. He also tried to keep MK Dons' name as Wimbledon as well as tried to keep the club's history even though its a different team and only recently acknowledged that MK Dons are a new team and gave all the trophies and medals back to AFC Wimbledon. The supporters of Wimbledon set up a team a couple of years after called AFC Wimbledon who started in the combined counties (9th tier) league and got promoted 6 times in 14 years much like the original Wimbledon's rise in the 70s and 80s. It was unpopular was because whoever moved a team to Milton Keynes was going to get all their facilities paid for by a group who wanted to grow Milton Keynes as it was a new city built in the 60s. The owner who moved their club to Milton Keynes also "allegedly" got substantial payments for it. They also got a place in the championship and a good team which they wouldn't have got if they started a team properly. There's even more to it but too much to write on here

When he couldn't remember van dijk that hurt my brain

Can we show a respect to this guy?
He's American with quite good football knowledge.
I can't name 10 american football players to save my life...

[misteralt]

"S"
Ooh yes! He's finally going to say Sheffield!
"... Stevenage is a club, right?"

[naimfaisal]

Tbf Zealand, a lot of fans in England cannot name all the teams from the PL to the Conference

[dompaymanfar]

Zealand : who is left
Me(screaming at my phone): SHEFFIELD UNITED

[wildmanmountainjack]

Tottenham Hotspur was named in honor of Harry Hotspur, who was a war hero in the 1300's.

[Roscododger]

4:40 "S... Stevenage." I was literally screaming at my phone.

[avagyhas]

Your knowledge is absolutely fine. I couldn’t list so many american football (NFL, AFL) players.

[BeBetterPLZ]

Gotta love when the YouTube recommended actually works. This was great content 👍

[uitblazenindepijp]

I'm watching this half a year later.

You were pretty hard on yourself but I think you did pretty well. Most people who say they "love football", have no idea about football either, being limited by what is going on at their own club. I myself have no idea about Asian Football or what's going on in the MLS. The world is just too big and there is just too little time. Can't wait for the follow up!

[jamesreid]

The Stevenage representation so early on 😍

[Zyvold]

Just a few days ago Robben joined Groningen in the Dutch Eredivisie

[andywilkinson]

As a West Brom fan, I was screaming at my phone😂good work as always Zealand! Keep it up 👍🏻

[tyroneshaniqua]

As an Arsenal fan ''worst good team" sounds quite accurate.
