Here is our third post in the Where To Watch Sports – Five For Five series. This time we highlight five great soccer/football shows on YouTube.
When it comes to cat videos, YouTube is the go-to location but it also has some great sports content. Here are a few of our favorites:
1. Soccertown USA – An American Soccer Documetary:
In the 1870s, Scottish immigrants brought soccer to Kearny, New Jersey. A few years later, they brought it to Brazil. While the game was spreading across Europe and South America, it was being played in the streets, parks, and playgrounds of a small town just across the meadows from New York City… but a world away. And in the 1980s, when the flame of American soccer was flickering, it was three kids from Kearny who helped save it.
Soccertown, USA is the story of Tab Ramos, John Harkes, and Tony Meola, who grew up with a passion for the game in a country that didn’t share it. It’s the story of the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, when these childhood friends formed the backbone of the United States team that willed its way to famous victories and inspired the generations that would come after.
But it’s also the story of a town – an American town – in which we can see the past, the present, and the future of the world’s game.
Jurgen Klopp swore he would guide Liverpool to their first top-flight title in 30 years when he arrived at Anfield in 2015. He is now on the verge of fulfilling that vow and bringing the Reds back to the promised land.
Roger Bennett narrates Leicester City’s miracle of miracles during the 2015-16 Premier League season, when the Foxes claimed one of the unlikeliest championships in sports history just one year after escaping relegation from the top flight.
4. Sir Alex Ferguson – Secrets of Success:
FourFourTwo talks to the people who spent years working alongside one of football’s greatest managers, discovering the most amazing Fergie stories ever.
Beyond the surface of Non-League football in the UK, there is far more to be seen than is ever shown on mainstream media. This documentary, the brainchild of filmmaker Alex Sparrow, gives a superb insight into the trials and tribulations faced by the committee, players, staff and all involved with Wormley Rovers Football Club. This is real football. Real emotions. Real people.
