this sounds like a great plot for a movie, a german and an american putting together a baseball team, just so the dutch don't win. ps: ich liebe eure videos, grüße aus deutschland
Joke's on them. The Dutch got a 10th consecutive gold medal at Korfbal World Games this year. Besides, "we" win gold in the Olympics a lot too. For such a small country we do quite well.
Even funnier when you realize Canada wins a disproportionate amount of sporting events and the US definitely gets its "we're #1" parade rained upon during events like the Olympics.
@Something Less Stupid Best place to watch the finest representatives from the US Midwest, Canada, and Russia smash each other to a pulp while incidentally playing a sport.
As an Italian, WE HAVE A BASEBALL TEAM!? Edit: thanks to everyone for blowing this up and making it the 2nd best, there are some fun/ interesting stories in this comment section, I'm happy to make so many people happy 👍
@Ethan Doyle we in Czechia have too, we even qualified (the guys on the national team literally play it only in their free time, they have different jobs)
We as a German-Bulgarien-French family go regularly to our little local baseball matches here in the southwest of Germany... So I'm sure they would be glad to compete (and loose) on an international level 😅 Go Atomics!!!
@Ethan you meant to say "because baseball is so unpopular in most countries there is no chance in hell most of them win but due to that you can qualify with a shit team. The few countries actually stacked with pros will fight it out between themselves though, no chance to beat the pros."
Why are people forgetting about korfball, it is invented in the Netherlands and we have won every single world cup except for one That one went to belgium
I was not aware there was a different hockey other than ice hockey. Whatever it is I will regard it with a willingness to learn (and a bucket of beavers in case it gets too unruly and decides it wants to usurp our hockey)
Most Latin american names are formed of 1st and 2nd name that are the equivalent of first name and 1st and 2nd family names that are the equivalent of last name, the thing is Pedro and Alonso are "first names" so he can be named Pedro Alonso Schmidt. Google for Pedro's full name, and just for the giggles, google Picasso's full name too.
Honestly ain’t no country even close to Canada when it comes to hockey. More than 55% of the entire NHL is Canadian. And the others percent is spilt up pretty piecemeal but the others like Russia, Sweden, Slovakia, Switzerland, Finland, and USA. Plus the top 100 players of all time for hockey is about 80% Canadian. If you want to talk about a sport that has been dominated by one nation look no further than Canada and hockey we own that shit.
As a Canadian, as long as we win in hockey, we don't care about anything else. Even if we don't win the Stanley Cup, we still win because it's our players that play for the US teams
People don't seem to understand that after American occupation, baseball became a MASSIVE fucking sport in Japan. While it was introduce to the country in the late 1800s it didn't take off until the 1920s If anything America losing to Japan is like a father watching a son finally beat him at chess. We taught that boy everything he knows now. I'm pretty sure Baseball is the most popular sport in japan, despite SUMO being it's 'national' sport. The japanese were playing with our huge names like Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, and Charlie Gehringer.
Japan feels like a weird child of america. We occupied them to turn them into an ally of the U.S. now they have an insane work ethic and anime and stuff. It’s truly bizarre but really interesting.
HAHA YEAH! GO JAPAN!! Seriously though that last game was WOW I mean two players who’ve played on the same team on opposite sides with each being responsible for the chance to win down to the wire, man, but Ohtani got us the win! It was such a hype morning.
@glockenrein yes, and we are here to collect the trash...aka your German baseball team. Which I only knew existed just now. But if it's something we can beat the Germans in, I'm a fan! Hup Oranje, Hup!
It only started in 2006 and has been a contested topic since most professional players never wanted to play in it (mostly Americans at least). But when USA finally assembled a good team in 2017 and won the tournament, the hype has exponentially increased ever since. This year’s viewership doubled since the last one, and now pretty much everyone is all in.
Italian here, I was surprised too when a week ago I discovered that Italy had a baseball team. Apparently, they train in the US and most of their players only have like a great great great Italian grand father. And since most of the players are American they're actually pretty good.
Such a great message! I recently started to compliment people in the street and as well as making them smile, it makes me so happy and has made my life better!
"We have 4 years to bring baseball to Germany, make it a huge success, assemble a team and stop the Dutch" This is the plot of an anime I'd watch for at least 7 seasons.
Speedlearning baseball. And I mean all of it, history, rules, alternate rules, derivative sports, legendary moments and the results of the 3rd division little league games in Poland.
When I was in high school, our upperclassmen in German class took a two week trip to Germany every spring. One year that class consisted of half of the varsity baseball team. Some poor German tried to start a snowball fight with them and ended up getting pummeled. The teacher had to explain to him afterwards that those particular Americans practice throwing balls at 130+ kph. He was unaware. Lmao
"Now you know whatit feels like to have your dreams crushed by the Japanese" Eh, it's only fair we did crush their dreams of having a "Empire of the Rising Sun" by turning them into the Empire of the Falling Sun...... twice
If you know any MLB player that is willing to become German, please send them our way.
this sounds like a great plot for a movie, a german and an american putting together a baseball team, just so the dutch don't win. ps: ich liebe eure videos, grüße aus deutschland
Early, funny vid 😂😂
Somebody needs to Call Joe Mauer out of retirement. Him and actual German Max Kepler can keep those pesky Dutch from winning.
Max Kepler the German Juan Soto 😂
We in the Netherlands have just accepted that finals don’t count anymore
Everytime the Netherlands get kicked out of a world cup it's just funny because it's typical Netherlands. But I kinda feel bad for the dutch
Joke's on them. The Dutch got a 10th consecutive gold medal at Korfbal World Games this year. Besides, "we" win gold in the Olympics a lot too. For such a small country we do quite well.
@Giorno Giovanna Hey they've won the battle with the ocean, they HAD to be nerfed.
@msrcali I am just saying: 1974, 1978 and 2010
Bro declared war with his Dutch and Canadian audience in one video
LUZZ
Oh, well that's just Dutch and Canadians, that's ok.
As a Canadian, i’m pretty sure we get gold medals in the olympics. It’s the equivalent of winning a world cup no?
@Clément Péloquin I'm also Canadian, specifically Dutch Canadian. That's why I made my comment, it was a joke.
As a Canadian, I shed a tear watching this
love u folks to the north, but you are not allowed to watch sports and be happy
@B dog lol I agree
@B dog we can be happy if we just stop rooting for Canadian teams
@B dog what about hockey?
That Canada analogy is hilarious
Even funnier when you realize Canada wins a disproportionate amount of sporting events and the US definitely gets its "we're #1" parade rained upon during events like the Olympics.
But fax
Well there IS the NHL...
are we the canada of germany???
@Something Less Stupid Best place to watch the finest representatives from the US Midwest, Canada, and Russia smash each other to a pulp while incidentally playing a sport.
“You son of a Betch, im in” got me dying
Rick and Moooorty
@Jack BaldwinRICK AND MORTYYYYYYY
I am so Indian..I read it "Btech" 🥲
@Abhishek Upadhyay I’m 😊
Or Arnold Schwarzenegger in Predator
The quick "f*ck you" after "at least it wasn't in the group stage" sent me 😂
"the dutch are not allowed to win the world cup" I felt that
Same here
Same
Having Max Verstappen F1 double world champion must be nice tho right
@Ariyaan Moktan the sport is suffering because of it tho
Ik ook
As a dutchie, lovely to see that the feeling is mutual 🤣
That Canada joke is the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard
As an Italian, WE HAVE A BASEBALL TEAM!?
Edit: thanks to everyone for blowing this up and making it the 2nd best, there are some fun/ interesting stories in this comment section, I'm happy to make so many people happy 👍
I had no clue either
Wait we do?
As a British, wtf why do we have a baseball team
@Ethan Doyle we in Czechia have too, we even qualified (the guys on the national team literally play it only in their free time, they have different jobs)
Same
As a German I would be happy for the Netherlands if they win the finals😊
I love our neighbor ❤
That's to sweet, now give us your trophies 😡
We love you too buurman
Thank you buurman
@Wouter NEEEEIN
I love em too but they must not win anything. That is the fun in it.
As a Dutchie this feels pretty damn accurate.
„Now you know what it’s like to have your dreams crushed by the Japanese“
Umm.. which reference? 💀
See, I couldn't tell... I'm hoping it's the world cup because the other one went past grouping stages to full blown eliminations
@Blow he meant like in WW2
@Mad EyE no, much more serious. the Japanese kicked us out of the last World Cup. im talking about the real one, not the cheap copies.
Football World Cup, the last one.
More like toyota or daihatsu I guess.. but could potentially be more severe..
«HAHA, now you know what its like to have your dreams cruched by the Japanese» Dude had me cackling😭
I know first hand that Japan LOVES Baseball ❤😂 like a LOT.
As a Canadian Japanese person, I'm so happy Japan won the classic. but that punchline with Canada actually got be bursting in laughter
That “you SOB” sounded so personal 😂
“How would you feel if Canada was happy and won something” 💀
Edit: bro what is going on in the comments
Horrible
1992 and 1993 were rough.
As a Canadian, I would feel awesome lol
@Eli 💜 as a U.S. citizen, go drink some syrup
@Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Canadian, gladly
We as a German-Bulgarien-French family go regularly to our little local baseball matches here in the southwest of Germany... So I'm sure they would be glad to compete (and loose) on an international level 😅 Go Atomics!!!
The fact that Lars Nootbaar played for the Japanese team is the most American thing ever 😂
His mom is Japanese
@Ryan I know
The Czech Republic qualified and their team wasn't even made up of professional players. They all had day jobs!
That math teacher was throwing some heat!!
Do you know what that’s what makes baseball the best!! Anyone can play it and be very good at it. True American dream of sports.
Iceland.
@Ethan you meant to say "because baseball is so unpopular in most countries there is no chance in hell most of them win but due to that you can qualify with a shit team. The few countries actually stacked with pros will fight it out between themselves though, no chance to beat the pros."
@Dönerzombie yikes someone’s team lost lmao
I mean... We love Canada. They're our weirdly nice siblings to the north.
Yeah, but they still aren't allowed to beat us
You've never been to Canada huh?
@Spirit wolf5136 No, but I have a friend from Canada.
@Stratigan Games I'm canadian. They're probably from NewFL
@Spirit wolf5136 BC actually.
As a canadian it feels nice to win hockey in Olympics all the time
I'm Dutch, don't care about sport, but his "the Dutch aren't allowed to win a world cup!" Got me rooting for a team I didn't even know existed
Same, but my german grandpa got mad and went to poland with a few of his vet friends😂
DE DUITSERS komen eraan😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We laten die Duitsers niet zomaar winnen! 1974! 1974!!
Wacht even… Honkbal, wat is dat eigenlijk?
As a Brit, I'd like to see the Dutch win the football world cup one day. Especially if it's going to annoy the Germans :P
Why are people forgetting about korfball, it is invented in the Netherlands and we have won every single world cup except for one
That one went to belgium
@TeamPi BELG: Ben Eens Limburger Geweest, so I'll still count it as Dutch xD
I would be glad for Canada to finally have something. They deserve it.
Thanks lol, it would be nice
IT REALLY WOULD WOULDN'T IT
I was not aware there was a different hockey other than ice hockey. Whatever it is I will regard it with a willingness to learn (and a bucket of beavers in case it gets too unruly and decides it wants to usurp our hockey)
I mean, they got Joey Votto
They have universal health care
"at least it wasn't in a group stage"
"fuck you"
I'm dying 😂
Should i break their bubble and tell them the dutch won the 2011 world cup...
……THEY WHAT!?!?
This can’t be
This is unacceptable. I demand we replay the match to ensure it was authentic.
Wait, wich sport did we win?
I love how you just casually put down the dog😂
Am I weird for being happy for Canada?
They're such nice folks
Peter Alonso-Schmidt is definetely a better name.
Most Latin american names are formed of 1st and 2nd name that are the equivalent of first name and 1st and 2nd family names that are the equivalent of last name, the thing is Pedro and Alonso are "first names" so he can be named Pedro Alonso Schmidt. Google for Pedro's full name, and just for the giggles, google Picasso's full name too.
I love the Canadian reference its a hilarious way to make us understand
The fabric of my country (Canada) is hanging on by a thread, that thread being hockey.
And somehow Florida keeps beating you.
@WorldTravel1518 very true, it hurts.
@yikes 🇺🇸USA USA USA 🇺🇸
Honestly ain’t no country even close to Canada when it comes to hockey. More than 55% of the entire NHL is Canadian. And the others percent is spilt up pretty piecemeal but the others like Russia, Sweden, Slovakia, Switzerland, Finland, and USA.
Plus the top 100 players of all time for hockey is about 80% Canadian.
If you want to talk about a sport that has been dominated by one nation look no further than Canada and hockey we own that shit.
That was an amazing punchline. Bravo.
“Now you know what it’s like to have your dreams crushed by the Japanese” is an INSANE line lol
The German team would just be Max Kepler and 24 school children
We'd call that "fair".
Anyone with a surname of Muller or Schmidt would be passable for Germany 😆
"Milevski (Милевски)" the Macedonian version of Miller. 🇲🇰🕶️
Don’t forget about Brendan Donovan
Loved this as a dutchie
I'd love to see more baseball in germany.
As a dutch person i can say with confidence that we feel the same exept with Belgium
With Belgium, Germany and Argentina*
I thought you are friends with the other Benelux states.
@HungarianGiraffe yes, but not during sports matches
I use this channel to better learn and improve my colloquial German. It's great
As a Canadian, as long as we win in hockey, we don't care about anything else. Even if we don't win the Stanley Cup, we still win because it's our players that play for the US teams
Right in the feels. 🇳🇱
Same bro
Usually I don't care or sometimes even cheered for the Netherlands (I'm German). But since I have a Friend from the Netherlands I can't have them win
@MisterPyOne all Dutch are our friends...which is exactly why we can't have them win!
Yup
The Dutch and the Canadians gotta team up man 🤝
"At least it wasn't in the group stage..." "Fuck you." 😂
no one should be sour about the japanese winning. we brought them baseball and they loved it. Honestly i'm proud.
I’m dutch and I’m offended 😂
Good!
😂❤
I never knew Germands saw us as threat. Today is a good day!
@ashleyftcash No wonder they invaded you
@FyreOGaming can't really call it an invasion.. We made everything to easy, way to easy
I can’t relate to any of this, but these two bring me so much joy
He perfectly used the term "you son of a b*tch,I'm in" with the most perfect facial expressions...
Hilarious Canada analogy!
“At least it wasn’t in the group stage.”
He had some flashbacks to a specific time and place.
As a dutchie, i kinda feel honored that germany, out of all its neighbors, feels the most rivalry towards the Netherlands❤️
People don't seem to understand that after American occupation, baseball became a MASSIVE fucking sport in Japan. While it was introduce to the country in the late 1800s it didn't take off until the 1920s

The japanese were playing with our huge names like Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, and Charlie Gehringer.
Everytime i picture "japanese baseball" in my head i think of that meme of the one dude smacking the other on the head with home plate
Even basketball is becoming watered down with internationalism, the most American sport is definitely foot ball, real foot ball.
@JJS You mean armored rugby or hand ball
@JJS Bruh, how old are you?
Japan feels like a weird child of america.
We occupied them to turn them into an ally of the U.S. now they have an insane work ethic and anime and stuff. It’s truly bizarre but really interesting.
HAHA YEAH! GO JAPAN!!
Seriously though that last game was WOW I mean two players who’ve played on the same team on opposite sides with each being responsible for the chance to win down to the wire, man, but Ohtani got us the win! It was such a hype morning.
It was like 8 pm for me when that happened lol. Crazy finish tho, pulled over and stopped driving to watch the last of it
As a dutch person i enjoy this video to my core and will now share it to my friends
Wait, we have a baseball team?
Ehm, I'll be right back.
*Grabs orange feathered boa from closet*
"Schade Deutschland, alles ist vorbei!"
Best part? You're sneaky good too. And your baseball caps were beautiful.
The Dutch generally had the best team in Europe for some time.
Thanks to Curacao and Aruba.
most of your players are from curaçao and aruba
Orange trägt nur die Müllabfuhr! 😂
@glockenrein yes, and we are here to collect the trash...aka your German baseball team. Which I only knew existed just now. But if it's something we can beat the Germans in, I'm a fan!
Hup Oranje, Hup!
Lol this guy is awesome 👏 u sir just got another subscriber 👍
As a Canadian, we win a bunch of things and are happy. Suck on that, Americans!!!
6 dollars each individual egg.
We're coming for all your delicious stores of freshwater
@caimanaraujo479 No. Where did you get that number from??? A pack of twelve is like 4$, which is 3$ in USD.
@Backinblack Bunny Good luck with that. We have a LOT.
Two words 1 Justin 2 Trudeau
Great Video I didn’t even know that the Baseball World Cup existed
I didn't either until this year. It seems like it more attention this year for some reason.
@TheJrbdog the finals was amazing comparable to mbappe vs messi
I’m a baseball fanatic it’s existed since 2006 and it is the god tier of good baseball to watch.
It only started in 2006 and has been a contested topic since most professional players never wanted to play in it (mostly Americans at least). But when USA finally assembled a good team in 2017 and won the tournament, the hype has exponentially increased ever since. This year’s viewership doubled since the last one, and now pretty much everyone is all in.
70+ million people watched the end of the tournament lol
I felt that Canadian reference in my soul and I’m not even sure why. #Merica
as a dutch person, this felt personal
Love you guys! Makes my day better. 😂 I live in Denmark, and it’s raining and snowing all the time. You guys are a bright moment in a dull day! 🎉
Dansk vejr er bare det bedste
At least y'all have a semi functional healthcare system☹
I can't, I just can't
I'm dying
As a Mexican super proud of my country for reaching the semis!
Kampf dem Goudaland✊😅
This is like calling the US Chicago land.
Italian here, I was surprised too when a week ago I discovered that Italy had a baseball team. Apparently, they train in the US and most of their players only have like a great great great Italian grand father. And since most of the players are American they're actually pretty good.
These two just explained Canadian us relations better then anyone I’ve ever met
Damn that last line is really going to hit hockey fans
"how would you feel if Canada won something and was happy?" 🤣🤣
That Canadian explanation made total sense.
As a Canadian, that Canada analogy actually had me laughing out loud. XD
You guys are Great you always bring laughter when it's not expected
Greetings from Djibouti:))🎉❤😂
You guys are incredible
as a dutch dude, i love it!
Such a great message! I recently started to compliment people in the street and as well as making them smile, it makes me so happy and has made my life better!
"9 miles high and falling fast" has 2 meanings in this
My PTSD of Sydney Crosby’s Golden Goal just been reignited
As a Dutchman I can tell you we are the same vice versa
As a dutch person, this had me dying.
"We have 4 years to bring baseball to Germany, make it a huge success, assemble a team and stop the Dutch"
This is the plot of an anime I'd watch for at least 7 seasons.
Being Belgian, I am in full support of you!
LOVE THIS trout vs ohtani was beautiful
I just love how the german accent gets wilder when either of them is agitated.
And, being german myself, I can fully confirm we all talk like that. 😂
😂❤😂
I absolutely love Canada, but I did NOT expect that question!
Nor the response.
this was amazing
Love it, and as much as I love folks from the US and Germany, I have to side with the kind-hearted underdogs always first. 😊
The moment of realization hits so hard 😂
As a football fan and a Canadian that cracked me up! 😂😂😂😂😂
As a dutch person I say bring it on
He must’ve been ecstatic with the result of the 2010 wc final!
"At least it wasn't in the group stage" 💀
Love how the screen changes as he gets more and more invested into baseball
Speedlearning baseball. And I mean all of it, history, rules, alternate rules, derivative sports, legendary moments and the results of the 3rd division little league games in Poland.
@Haan22 gotta specify balks too
If every German is like this, I want to move to Germany 😀😀😀
“You son of a bitch…I’m in!” 🤣🤣🤣
I believe the dutch came in 4th a couple of times. Would not say its an underdog story.
If it’s not Japan, the US or a team from the Caribbean, they’re an underdog
@Tim Noonan the Dutch team is Kingdom of the Netherlands and most players are from the Caribbean Islands
I’m waiting for him to learn that Germany has started getting good at ice hockey
When I was in high school, our upperclassmen in German class took a two week trip to Germany every spring. One year that class consisted of half of the varsity baseball team. Some poor German tried to start a snowball fight with them and ended up getting pummeled. The teacher had to explain to him afterwards that those particular Americans practice throwing balls at 130+ kph. He was unaware. Lmao
"Now you know whatit feels like to have your dreams crushed by the Japanese"
Eh, it's only fair we did crush their dreams of having a "Empire of the Rising Sun" by turning them into the Empire of the Falling Sun...... twice
Hey, we’re taking about sports , not war
I am italian and this is literally the first time i hear we got a baseball team :O
Have Ben Stiller & Robert Downey Jr turn this into a movie!!
As a Mets fan, YOU'RE NOT TAKING PETE AWAY FROM US WE NEED HIM.
I really doubt he's gonna be an Altuve 2.0
That Canada comparison is too perfect😂
