The Disturbing Football Iceberg Explained

South African subscriber here - I was at the 3rd place playoff game in Port Elizabeth between Uruguay and Germany where it was the first game Suarez returned after missing the semi-final due to that red card. The about 40 000 strong crowd booed at him for almost the whole game and every single time he touched the ball, atmosphere was absolute hostile. Ended up being a highly entertaining game.

23:31 What makes the incident worse is that the goalkeeper put a knife in his glove and that's where all the blood came from. Officials caught the goalkeeper pretending because on the cameras, the flair didn't hit the goalkeeper. Rather the goalkeeper used the knife to look injured.

I think a valid entry in such an iceberg could be the football war. In 1969, a match between El Salvardor and Honduras became the the start of a full blown war, leading to around 3000 casualties. To be clear though, the match was not the reason for the war, as tension between the countries were high, but it became the catalist for tensions to spill over.

El Maracanazo is even more crazy than what was said in the video. Rojas actually inflicted injury to himself by cutting his head with a razor blade hidden in his glove to make it look like the flare had hit him, rather than just feign an injury. The game also played a role in the crash of Varig Flight 254, the pilots failed to notice they’d entered an incorrect flight plan as they were too busy looking for radio stations broadcasting the game. By the time they realised it was too late, running out of fuel before they could reach safety and crash-landing in the jungle, killing 13 people but surviving themselves.

The Defoe story always brings a tear to my eye, regardless of club or country this is why football is so special, just little stories like that.

So, I can actually help with the Jabulani issue! Basically, the modern ball has a certain number of panels with a certain depth of the grooves around it. Goes back to the old Telstar ball or whatever. But because these grooves are where they are and are the depth they are, they wick the air around the ball a certain way, which makes the ball fly smoother through the air. Same physics principle as a golf ball with the dimples on it. The dimples on the golf ball wick the air around it as it spins, meaning it displaces the air a lot easier, resulting in a smoother, more predictable flight. The Jabulani, however, did not have these grooves. As a result, even when it was spinning, it was essentially just pushing the air out of the way, not "pulling" it behind itself, which made it extremely sensitive to even the tiniest changes in the air it was trying to go through. Hence, it flying all over the place. It operated like a knuckleball in baseball.

Pretty simple explanation: The jabulani had turbulent flow on one side of the ball and laminar flow on the other side leading to an imbalance and spin Same reason planes can get uplift from the wings

The Australia Witch Doctor story is just crazy. It could happen to anyone and any team! Sends shiver to my spine.

Kinda disappointed that the Indonesian football tragedy in 2022 not being deserved as a big mentions. It still hurts football fans across the world, as the death toll of that tragedy after the Arema-Persebaya derby easily overwhelms the death tolls of the likes of Heysel and Hillsborough. Same thing goes for the Egypt football tragedy in 2012 (Al Masry vs Al Ahly), which also destroyed the country's reputation a lot due to the events being related to the political revolution a year earlier.

The Suarez situation is such a stupid one. First, the free kick which led to the handball shouldn't have been a free kick because it was offside. Second, it's not like he got away with it. Third and most importantly, who wouldn't have done what he did?

Gotta love getting the Vizeh notification and seeing it's a 50 min one

From my understanding, El Maracanazo was when Brazil were upset 1-2 against Uruguay in the 1950 WC final, which was played at the Maracana stadium. Didn't know the Chile goalie incident was called the same.

Love watching these longer videos keep up the great work man. Love your content ❤

Great to see you doing another iceberg video. Hope everything is going well in your personal life. You can see the dedication in your videos and they are always a great watch. Have a great evening because I know I am going to have one😊

Even as a Liverpool fan I feel like I have to point out that the reason United kept taking off in Munich was because the FA board demanded that they be in England something like 3 days before their next league game. So they couldn’t stay overnight or else they forfeited the game. Could be wrong but I think that’s why

Maturing is realizing that it wasn't Suarez's fault that Ghana were knocked out. He wasn't the one who missed the penalty, he just did whatever it took to help Uruguay.

I think you left out one of the most disturbing events in football history... The assassination of Andres Escobar after he scored an own goal for his national team of Colombia in the USA World Cup of 94... But as always GREAT VIDEO! Keep the hard and excellent work.

im 23yrs old now and an arsenal fan, to this day i still remember watching that arsenal vs birmingham game (i was 7 at the time) where eduardo got tackled, and my dad telling me and physically taking me away from the tv when it happened because of how horrific and graphic it was. the worst tackle in football history ever.
