I like the respect between Bayern players with wolsburg players.
Veroos Pierre Because they know who is going to win and lose
@@TheUKNutter be little nice
Imagine that they kept on giving the ball back and forth the whole game
They say Arnold did it in an act of sportsman ship . But go watch the whole moment. He has no choice as none of his team goes into box. I watched live and Arnold was not happy he had to do that. More peer pressure than sportsman ship.
@@aarondyer7666 I also watched live and they decided not to come coz they were going to do that. He may not have been happy but did it anyway Arnold and steffen decided to do so
It takes guts to reject an advantage when your team is down, hats off to those lads
I've been to my fair share of away games in Germany, and always been struck with the atmosphere and the fans' behaviour. My first time was away at Schalke, and sitting in a bar with a couple of other United fans when a whole group of local fans walked in. Normally, as we all know, in the UK that would almost certainly mean trouble. They clocked us, and came straight over, and sat down uninvited at our table. They wanted to know why we weren't drinking schnapps, and informed us that we were really missing out, before shouting us a round of schnapps, followed by another. No trouble, lots of laughs. Brilliant night, brilliant fans.
You will never see it in La Liga.
True
Hard to see in almost any other league tbh.
@Trisha Madapura Nagabhushan yes who said you that Marcelo is such a nice guy
You will never see Ronaldo do that!!!!
True
As an American I'm in awe of the quality and caliber of the Bundesliga. Such mutual respect is usually unheard of outside of children's leagues. People claim to have respect but I don't see them taking such actions as are regularly here on display.
hofmann : dives also hofmann : sportsmanship
THANK YOU!
Exactl, ridiculous! Do something unethical, then change your mind-everyone goes”thank you, well done”...!
Neel sometimes as a player u just fall trying to avoid a tackle or simply just lose ur footing that’s not a dive
Joseph Rizzotti sure
@@itsneel2898 if he dived then why did he not except the free kick and told the ref
So like half way through the vid i wondered "why is there so many Bundesliga fair plays in here?" Then i looked at who made the video.
Same, Same
Saaame. I was like, damn those Germans are honest, huh? But really, I think you're more likely to see this fair play in the Bundesliga than Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc, etc.. I'm American and I watch soccer. People make fun of Americans and Americans make fun of soccer. But the thing is: faking fouls and faking injuries is highly dishonorable in our sporting culture. It's beginning to change... for the worse. But if someone fakes a foul (and especially if someone fakes an injury!) in American football, that guy will be in the newspaper for all the wrong reason.
Me too! I was thinking how well mannered the German league is to have so many entries... D'oh!
@@michaelgiovanniello3230 You're right. It seems to be very much a football (soccer) thing. But there are some explanations possible. Of course it is a contact sport in a big field with only one referee and a couple of linesmen, so much can go undetected (compare for example with what goes on under water in a water polo game), a lot of money is involved, and, importantly, there is a limited time that the game lasts, so I can imagine it's tempting. And faking a foul can be quite rewarding, with possibilities to get a free kick, to take the momentum out of the game when the opposing team is in a flow, or even to have an opponent player being sent off. I often compare football with cycling. When professional cyclists fall, they only want to get back on the bicycle and go on. Even when they are injured they first get back on the bike and only then start looking at the physical damage. Hardly ever they would blame someone else for the fact they fell, even if it was not their own fault. Real sportsmanship? I suppose, but then again, what would be the point of faking? They don't gain anything by laying around faking injuries: the race will go on, it only costs time that they don't want to loose and the chance that an opponent gets taken out of the race is very, very slim. Besides, a cyclist trying to take down a opponent takes a real risk to fall as well. So, finally, that is why it is so good that in football there now is the video referee, and that there is a fourth referee keeping an eye on the injury time. A lot of cases of faking things can now be detected and trying to gain (or should I say lose?) time has become a lot harder. Hopefully the next step is that players that fake injuries or commit sneaky, mean fouls will be punished severely.
Hahaha. I'm not alone then
Klose brought this Bundesliga fairplay with him to Italy when he told referee to annul the goal because he made it with his hand. A true legend. Respect.👏🙏
Truly “football as it’s meant to be”
Meanwhile, Neymar is still rolling on the grass...
Lol 😂🤣
Yep. No fair play there
😂😂😂
im surprised he hasnt rolled of yet
Pretty sure he puts it in his sister too..lul
The Bremen player at 6:21 gesturing at the ref for a penalty lmao
I remember in Seria A one player admitted that he scored his goal with hands. That player was Klose, who is also german
This is the spirit of sport : respect " FAIR PLAY "
None of this would ever happen in the prem or la liga
Sad but true
Im a big fan of prem, but its so true...
Remember di canio?
Too much money on the line in those leagues you mentioned
True
All the gestures was my favourite, because bundesliga players show the most respect💕💕
Only the Bundesliga players do that , that is why is the best league
Pfffttt farmers league
Did you not see what happened in the championship last year?
@@errorunknown8411 If this is a farmers league, then i don't know what the French league is
Is the french league a joke?
Error Unknown most competitive at the top of the table this season
"Do the right thing. It will make you feel good and astonish the others." Mark Twain.
Honor is more lasting and satisfying in life than final scores.
Absolutely. There are two types of football fans (and players)--those who love the game, and those who just love winning, and will do anything for it.
i bet my life, "sergio ramos" would never be on a list like this
😂😂😂
Or Luis Suarez
That's because he doesn't play in the BuLi
Nor Pepe
any real madrid players
The whole world respect you Bundesliga
Me 2 years ago: Aw thats nice they're shaking their hands Me now: I renember those days when you could shake hands...
All of them. This is how the game should be played!
That is how all sports should be played. With honesty and fairness. What a great game and individual players to watch.
This is what makes Germany great, then and now.
These are my favorite kinds of videos
Heartwarming to say the least. Proud to be a Bundesliga fan
Bundesliga is my favorite league and this is one of the reasons why!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
6:09 Plot Twist: That foul is actually because of his hairstyle.
Dio Jodianto Probably the worst footballer haircut there is
@@AB-lq2hm you have seen nothing!!! Hahaha
ouch.
@@AB-lq2hm that is a nice comment knowing that we have neymar spaghetti hair during WC18
"He's pointing straight to the spot" xD
Back in La Masia those kind of vids are shown during the "do something like that and you're out immediately" class
And at Real, they teach their players, how to handicap players. Ramos, Pepe. Nuff said!
This is what real sport is about. Many great examples to show my students what fair play and honesty looks like in sport. :-)
The last one , so unlucky to hit his hand. Fair play to him 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Borussia mönchengladbach showing up multiple times on the list. Very respectable club
Remember when last season Sterling kicked grass and that was given penalty for Man City against Schalke.... Sterling would never do something like this
Sterling dives every game at the slightest touch, of course he never would.
Yup
f same can be said for mane
Against Shakhtar Donetsk
Worst part was, city had a good lead, that penalty goal meant almost nothing. He missed consequence free fair play action, the cheating muppet.
If only all players were like this, football would be so much better to watch and more people would be fans of the sport.
Thats why i always love watching Bungdesliga than any other league.
ALL 10 of these impressed me, but # 1, the hand-ball goal, was definitely # 1; to let go of a goal is real sports-person-ship,
One thing I love more than football is fairplay.
2:59 “I slipped on the grass” Boi that was a clear dive 🤣🤣
Honesty is the best policy! So true.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not a fan of soccer, But a huge fan of good sportsmanship. Cheers to those players for being stand up guys .
Love these videos
If there was more of that, i would be still watching football, and history of that sport would have been soooooooo different. So many injustice in football. Respect to all these great professionnals and ... human being who don't wana win that way.
This is the reason why I love Bundesliga
Parabéns! Exemplos de profissionalismo!
Something Neymar needs to learn from
Very beautiful moments, They are really gentlemen...👍❤
I could watch videos like this all day!!!
That's very wholesome. I need more.
This stuff makes me glad to be a football fan. Just wish it happened more often and more in the Premier League.
2:45 Kevin Kutschke 3:05 Stefan Kutschke ⁉️
I looked it up and it seems like both are kinda his names?
Maybe they’re long lost brothers?😝
Nothing speaks to how far we have fallen as a society than having to celebrate rare honesty and decency.
Nice video, thanks for that
This rarely happens in any other of the big leagues: Spain, England, Italy, Argentina, Brazil.
Why can't other leauges show the respect and sportsmanship like this, these are role models
World need those players...respect!!
Big respect!!
Players "worth" over 100 million: "Watch me dive and lie in 4K"
You love to see it!
this video is AMAZING
Great video, thanks for posting. Fantastic to see sportsmanship at its best. Shame more is not made of this for our kids to follow.
If “understandable, have a good day” was an entire football league
Beautiful. If we cannot be honest in our sport we cannot be honest in other areas of life. And humanity needs honesty more than ever now.
Great stuff,not sure this would happen as often in the EPL
plot twist: Plea sabotages the goalies laces
The teammates were probably pretty mad at some of these, like “just take the penalty”
Are you playing football or are you just trying to win?
@@bronzejourney5784 lol most of these are unknown teams and players fighting relegation. There is a reason why you don't see this in the Champions League or the World Cup. The stakes are much higher and players just wanna rip each other apart. I mean, you've seen those same "sportsmanship" Bayern players disrespect barca last year. Lol they were playing like they were losing even when it was 7-2
I love it how a player dives, then says 'it wasn't a foul, I dove,' and then he gets a 'fair play' shout out for it.
They're avoiding challenges/injuries
Great to see!
I have a much greater respect for the German league. Such good sportsmanship and real respect
This would never happen in the premier league Germany is the land of fair play
Great to see this
This is why I support a team in the BuLi, even though I’ve the choice of many London teams! - the fact that it’s 1. FC Köln... well that’s another story. Sometimes I wish they were not as nice 🥴 20+ years a fan and it has been painful at times 🤕
Remember Barcelona a few years ago who would practically mob the referee with half the team if they didnt win a throw in....
Chelsea vs barca....
I saw this comment and it reminded me of Chelsea Vs Barçalona 2009 Disgraceful
I love the Bundesliga
There should be an award for best fair play.
Great stuff.
PL & la liga: We don't do that around here.
khalid ali serie A: 🤷🏽🖕🏼
Idk, in the Premier there are still some players with respect. But surely not in La Liga. Maybe Puyol would do that 10 years ago
3:00 he didn’t slip he dived but fair play to him
If you watch in a slower speed you can clearly see that he miss stepped and immediately got back up and chased the ball, obviously not diving to try and get a foul, but tripping and trying to make up for it
Joshua Burkhalter he didn’t lose his footing he dived, no one falls over like that if you slip or lose your footing. Kane does that every time when trying to get a foul call.
Another cynic. Go see an eye doctor, or better yet, a shrink.
Well nothing beats Liverpool's Gerard diving against - wait for it - Andorra! Sorry to say. I am still a Liverpool fan and a Gerard fan that that moment of shame should not be forgotten.
It's a pity that there is not enough of this. Respect seems to have been forgotten in sports these days.
great video .. we need more from all leagues. i fed up with fighting, name calling and racism
It would be very hard to make a video like this from other leagues. It just doesn't happen, especially not in South America.
Football, where a the simple human act of honesty is considered sportsmanship.
Respect and congratulations
Best official football channel. Period.
10 fair play moments in 10 years.........that says all you need to know about soccer/football.
Meanwhile neymar : They're a joke
I love this, God bless to all involved in such great sportsmanship 🙏✌️
Sports is not always about the victory; it's all about fairness between the teams
You would never see this kind of sportsmanship in the BPL...
well clearly his teammates didn't appreciate that 2:25
yeah Christensen and Vestergaard were not impressed lmao
I wish Malaysian Super League was like this..so beautiful..
This is love . This is true football ☺️
Suárez y Neymar miren estas jugadas! Son grandes no necesitan hacer teatro! Saludos desde el Perú!
Bundesliga: Football, as it's meant to be
Meanwhile in the PL there is leg breaking tackles every week.
@VGV Tomato i watch every single bundesliga game, and most of the time, it is indeed fine and jolly :D
Big leaugue. Big match. And the heart even bigger ❤❤❤respect
Just Bundesliga things ❤️🥳
Notice that respectful players featured here plays for clubs from the Northern Germany and Rhine areas.👍
Find it weird when someone dives and then gets cold feet
@Harvey Holmes i think what it is is that they went down knowing there’d be contact which honestly helps u avoid injury from the incoming challenge. But once they realized that the tackle missed and didn’t make contact, they admit that they went down without contact. Half the time a challenge comes in, the dribbler can tell if the tackle is gona make contact and be a foul. When theyre wrong, at least Bundesliga players admit it. Thats why i wouldn’t really call it a dive. A dive is more so when you know there’s not gona be a foul but still go down anyway. But the guys in this vid are foreseeing the contact so they go down but they admit if theyre wrong. I feel like there is a philosophical difference.
@@jaykayhooray So still cheating then.
@@ezriderzzr7104 kind of even if it's cheating at the end they do the right thing so it's good.
@@shrey5423 Not really, it's like getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar and saying sorry, still makes you a thief.
I had to scroll down a long way to find the comment I agreed with.
This is why i love Bundesliga ♥️♥️♥️
I understand judges, they must react instantly, it's not easy. Respect to players.
A few of them are trying to dive initially..then think of the backlash from the public and media 🤷🏿♂️
If we’re talking about Hofmann, I think he just tripped or lost his footing while trying to avoid the challenge. If he was going to dive, he would’ve committed - reputation be damned
