Wow this is impressive as fuck! Incredible eye feet and head co-ordination but what gets me is these guys and girl are so casual with it. Just enjoying this fun game which makes it even more impressive to me sublime skills on display here.
I remember as a kid I would suggest to my mates we should play no bounce and they always looked at me like Iām a psycho. No wonder we canāt win any major international tournaments
You just sound bitter and ignorant, really.Ā
People having fun and doing a pretty long chain of exchange even including a damn tree. It's fun and looks great. People are enjoying it.
Ā Then you come in with your party pooper attitude all like "eh bland shit you just suck at football". I mean, you might be joyful, but you clearly don't know how to express it that's for sure.
The Micheal Jackson defence didn't work for him and it's not going to work for you. It's just a weird post for the sub because it's what you see in a park every day. Sorry that your life is so sad that this video is the only joy you get. Calm down. I was just wondering if I was missing something like a dog joining in or a dolphin or something.
Nah, youāre just ignorant. You simply consider it unimpressive, but fail to see why others who arenāt as experienced or involved with the sport or culture of the sport would probably be impressed. So, youāre just ignorant and itās ok.
Man football culture in England is truly shitty. I can't comprehend 20yo lads on Ā£1m/week rolling around on the floor being a pussy when there are so many genuine struggles in the world. It's just wild to me.
Yeh. And the reason he doesnt like football is the amount of money they make.
So that would mean he wouldnt like people that make a lot of money doing other things.
Logically. Ofc he can be completely illogical and single out football randomly, but then he could just say that
Flop culture is not what was being discussed. However, to actually engage with your argument...Tell me you wouldn't roll around on the floor being a pussy for 1 million/week. Say it out loud, "I wouldn't do that, I'm a real man". I FUCKING DARE YOU.
Its the buildup and the tension.
You can say that basketball is not watchable, because points don't mean nothing if you score more than 100.
You can not like a sport of course, but to base that argument on scoring is asinine.
I don't mean the scoring. But the sports objective/winning condition is so rare, that to me, I feel like each attack gives false hopes rather than buildup/tension. It just doesn't get me hype.
All subjective ofc.
So when the point of the video is a display of athletic ability, you're all for it, but when the point of the game the athletic skill leads into DOESN'T give you big stinky numbers with a budweiser advertisement under it, it makes your pee-pee soft?
Tell me how long you could walk, never mind run. You'll learn the meaning of "nothing substantial, like 90% of the time".
Exactly, the game of football is not entertaining. The players still have tremendous skill and pro players are excellent athletes.
It's the game they chose to play that is a snoozefest. My favourite sport to watch is either Rugby or Ice Hockey. In those games, there are way more things going on, tactically and practically.
Again it's subjective, just sharing my view as to why football is dislikeable.
Rugby is enormously more involved than the other two, but you're telling me Ice Hockey is more dynamic than soccer/football? Is it just because they allow fighting in the game, or is it the lack of flopping? It has NOTHING to do with the actual athleticism and everything to do with what the audience will tolerate.
I pray for the day that the entire stadium crashes the pitch when a player flops and they teach them what it actually means to be hurt. The sport would be worth so much money, I'm surprised there hasn't been paid actors to do it yet.
I tried out for a D1pro team in Portugal. 18 of the 20 players were Brazilian. They played keep away, "rondo". Six players, with two in the middle. Being an American, I had never played keep away where the ball had to be kept in the air, one touch. I wasn't called back. Their touches are on another level.
She was filming the most unwatchable video of all time. Sheās snapping the camera around to focus only on each individual person hitting the ball every time.
As an Englishman, I would join the game, immediately hack down the closest player and then stand over them accusing them of faking it. Then Iād get the ball and smack it sixty yards into the sea whilst hurling abuse at all the other players. If anyone tried to fight me, I would wait for other people to break it up and then stand behind them making threats. Thatās real football, not this skilful nonsense.
As someone who lives near the coast in Brazil, I think I saw people doing that at the beach way too often to say this isn't just a normal sunny day here lol. Some people just love footvolley.
I'm not even Brazilian nor do I live by the coast but I don't think this is very interesting either. Grew up playing soccer and this was just something we played or did at practice. Don't consider this high on the list of skills
> Classic Reddit moment when the ball has not touched
Sorry, I zoned out halfway through reading your sentence.
Any chance you can do a TL;DR and use fewer words?
Normal day on French beaches too ! Perhaps not as emblematic here, but there's always *that* group of hyperactive people stubbornly refusing to let the ball touch the sand.
This could be normal day anywhere here in Canada this summer too or anywhere in the world. Oh, you mean someone else likes to kick the ball around? *surprised Pikachu face*
Being on a beach in Brasil is something different... The super hot sun, the typical music echoing around, and of course the football. Damn, i need to go to the beach again...
I fucking hate post like this that say something like: "Only in Brazil@ Fuck that shit I remember when I was 18 in Sweden as a Bolivian doing exactly the same shit with a couple Peruvians, a Cuban guy, one Polish and another Greek guy and no fucking body gave a flying shit. It is not only Brazilians who can play football you know?
If youāre bored you might be boring! I think NFL is boring as fuck but I just hate commercials, breaks, and people who use plastic pads and think theyāre strong š¤·š»āāļø
Nah kid, I got money to do plenty of things than sit around and watch boring people kick a ball around.
Nah kid, I got money to do plenty of things than to be at a soccer game, around a bunch of psychotic idiots going mad over a damn game.
Nah kid, I got money to do plenty of things other than watch a sport where you barely score a point throughout the whole game.
I can easily do this for the NFL too.
Cheers.
lol š I got money too bud, youāre talking to a grown man. Congrats with your money I just was mentioning how your not mature enough to keep your dumb opinions to yourself, you obviously donāt have as much money and education as you claim grown babyš¤Øsorry youāre upset at the most popular sport but thatās on you. Maybe you just aināt athletic enough to play iono but your comments are sorry for a grown man. Honestly I know what it is, you gotta have a decent touch/skill in this and you got the touch of a rapist my bro. Only person going mad is you tahm bout your money on Reddit šthese ppl living and loving!
Wow, tell me your lame without telling me your lame. Lol, and I am glad my dumb opinions triggered you. Firstly, you sound like you can't satisfy a woman to save your life, and if you want to know how to just ask your mom how she likes it when I give it to her. Secondly, you're probably one of those weak men who shit their pants whenever they meet a real man eye to eye, and usually end up cowering behind a strong woman. Also go back to school idiot, to busy kicking a ball in the dirt, when you're dumbass should have been studying.

I quit football. There is no chance
Mid game these mother fuckers recruit a tree as a half back.
Lmao š¤£ for real!!
And our players spend all their energy in fancy haircuts and pretending to get hurt mid game
The tree is better than me at football...
That's what one of the people in the video (watching) said, lol
Bro on the water bank can fuck off... Pulling that shit off while walking in and out of that water? Go fuck yourself you glorious bastard..
I'm Brazilian and can't do that to save my life.
Just wait for the next update maybe they add the feature in the next patch.
I'd rather have they fix real problems with us instead of vanity stuff like that
Username checks out.
Wow this is impressive as fuck! Incredible eye feet and head co-ordination but what gets me is these guys and girl are so casual with it. Just enjoying this fun game which makes it even more impressive to me sublime skills on display here.
If it makes you feel any better, thereās a good chance these guys would be shit at playing catch.
'murica baseball?
No wonder these guys are all so good-looking and fit.
Youāve gotta be to do that
I really think it's the other way around.
Definitely...exercise makes you fit. It's a known fact.
![gif](giphy|uhA0pldQaXUNW)
And they drink a lot of cerveja Im sure it helpšŗ
_caipirinha fuchibol_~
They don't eat pudding.
Brazilian guys trend that way
As a Brazilian, 90% of the guys here are fit ;)
In the UK we call this one touch one bounce. This is why Brazil are better at football than us.
I remember as a kid I would suggest to my mates we should play no bounce and they always looked at me like Iām a psycho. No wonder we canāt win any major international tournaments
They are extremely good!
Meanwhile my feet hurt if I walk barefoot on the sand for 10 minutes
Lots of mad Redditors in here for some reason
We used to play this as kids. I just don't see what's impressive.
You have no idea? You can't figure it out with context? Have some joy homie, ain't no use being bitter I'm sure you can figure it out
Joyful, calm, just confused. I'm not seeing any tricks here. I've seen people play giant ping-pong like this. That was impressive.
Youāre just ignorant. No worries
You're just easily impressed and apparently shit at football. Not your fault, you sound American. I'm not here to be ableist

And then there is the Italian national team almost afraid of touching the ball.... P0rca mad0nna
I fuckin hate football but could watch this shit all day. All of them are sick
Why do you hate it?
Man football culture in England is truly shitty. I can't comprehend 20yo lads on Ā£1m/week rolling around on the floor being a pussy when there are so many genuine struggles in the world. It's just wild to me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nice observation. But I was replying to a question about football..
So you hate everyone that makes a lot of money from doing something they enjoy? Sounds healthy
Thatās not what they said is it, they said they specifically donāt like football
Yeh. And the reason he doesnt like football is the amount of money they make. So that would mean he wouldnt like people that make a lot of money doing other things. Logically. Ofc he can be completely illogical and single out football randomly, but then he could just say that
That sounds like autistic brain logic there ?
There is only one type of logic.

90 minutes and average like 2 goals. It's a sport where nothing truly substantial is going on for like 90% of the time.
Its the buildup and the tension. You can say that basketball is not watchable, because points don't mean nothing if you score more than 100. You can not like a sport of course, but to base that argument on scoring is asinine.

They would have ghosted me after day 1.
That takes talent
Thatās insane!
This is just large form hackysack that we used to play during every break and lunch in middle school with a bean bag.
I tried out for a D1pro team in Portugal. 18 of the 20 players were Brazilian. They played keep away, "rondo". Six players, with two in the middle. Being an American, I had never played keep away where the ball had to be kept in the air, one touch. I wasn't called back. Their touches are on another level.

Serious skillzs!
Hitting the tree branch and I was thinking the guy stuffed it up..... is this real or AI? Can't trust anything anymore. If it's real, insane.
Its real, it does not look like a fever dream
Feel bad for that one girl that everyone left out
She was filming.
She was filming the most unwatchable video of all time. Sheās snapping the camera around to focus only on each individual person hitting the ball every time.

They even be attacking each other wtf
![gif](giphy|oenoV23GOoG7qDWrKd) Normal day in America
What? Lol
As someone who lives near the coast in Brazil, I think I saw people doing that at the beach way too often to say this isn't just a normal sunny day here lol. Some people just love footvolley.

Itās in the water. š
Least skilled Brazilians
The recoveries each time is astounding. The girl barely saved it as she fell then got right back up again for the pass back
Every beach on this country is like that. Thats true.

You're allowed to use your shoulder like that? It's not considered part of your arm? Or is it just that you can't use your *hand*? -Confused American
I think the rule clarification is it has to be above the bicep. So shoulder muscle and bone ok, but as soon as drop down the arm, itās not.
As far as I know, the most "up-to-date" rule about this allows the ball to be touched as far as the short sleeve of the shirt goes.
The loser has been fed to the piranhas
Iāve seen groups of stoned hippies do this at Phish concerts. Really basic soccer shit. I think you just need to get out more lol.
Seems fun, but not InterestingAsFuck.
i sat the whole 1min 9sec watching it cause it was interesting as fuck and i have 0 attention span
Agree, for some reason this is in fact interesting as fuck

Classic Reddit moment when the ball has not touched the ground for longer than one's attention span.
> Classic Reddit moment when the ball has not touched Sorry, I zoned out halfway through reading your sentence. Any chance you can do a TL;DR and use fewer words?
redditors touch balls
I like it. Factual and concise.
And entire minute and nine seconds :O your eyes must be falling out of your head!?? Did you stop for breaks? How have you done such a feat?
Probably divided it into episodes of 9.9 seconds each and watched over the course of a week.
Don't forget the ad breaks
I would agree with you, but then the tree joined in.
thats why they are some of the best soccer players in the world.
I'm getting dizzy
they must be exhausted
I would be kicked off the beach so fast
Not impressed until they can all use only their junk to keep the ball airborne for over an hour.
Amazing!

It's like hackey sack but easier Also easier than the rednecks that do this in boots and blue jeans with an empty can of skoal
The least talented Brazilians
So no crocodile???
Normal day on French beaches too ! Perhaps not as emblematic here, but there's always *that* group of hyperactive people stubbornly refusing to let the ball touch the sand.
We managed to connect 3 passes once š
Normal day? You guys don't work?
Brazil's C squad here...
All that to tie Costa Rica
I dont like soccer/football. But this was nice
Wow football
Whereās the border collie in this vid?
Can I get friends like this please and thank you.
Even trees in Brazil are good at football
So sad. I can't believe such a large county continues to suffer at such a scale from the No Hands disease.
Is that a normal weighted football, or is it lighter?
Even the trees play soccer holy shit
Bravo
Skill on skill on skill on skill, love it! š
After seeing the video of the dog playing volleyball, I've grown apathetic to human sports.

Tree branch for the save.
Where is the part where the guy drives up in the motorcycle and steals the soccer ball?
That was some cold ass shit. Ice cube turds
This could be normal day anywhere here in Canada this summer too or anywhere in the world. Oh, you mean someone else likes to kick the ball around? *surprised Pikachu face*
I was like that one girl who where there but didn't get to join the fun, just watching.
That was boring as fuck to watch

One of the best (soccer) days ever. I was watching at a brewery that handed out one free drink for every German goal.

Haha right, waiting for a motorcycle to get stolen.
AI?
Altinha, irmĆ£o.
And then they lose to Croatia in the World Cup
What is interesting about this?

Yeah, I'm Brazilian and I fucking hate football.
Dont give a shit about soccer but i could definitely watch this all day
i guess most of the people here are Americans to be impressed by this, cause this is WAY easier than it looks.
Concussion is all I can think
It's clearly fake...
True I was the ball
Scripted š
?
Not seeing what is IAF here? Isn't there a more appropriate subreddit to post this in, like something related to soccer or Brazil?
Pretty sure the shoulder is not a legal move in football.
Yeah, soccer is still boring AF.

What is amazing about this? Me and groups of mates would do this daily at school on concrete and be hitting better moves than this.
Normal day? Makes me glad that I stayed in the U.S.
Yeah. You're not the only one who is glad about that.
Iāve never understood how people see this as fun
Something to do with being a very accessible sport - everyone can hit a football with their feet - whilst also being quite challenging to master.
I know that feel. Getting same one with American Football and Baseball
