A little over a year and slow progress is still progress.

A little over a year and slow progress is still progress.

Hey guys, Im Rican and i run a small football (soccer) channel where I talk my favourite teams. I see a tonne of people with more subs and hours than i have, unhappy at their progress. My advice: be happy with the journey. One sub a week is a cause for celebration for me. Most of all though, I enjoy learning and meeting new people. I feel like being genuine and consistent will pay off in the end. Keep pushing!

Way too early Prediction: Where do Sevilla Finish this year?

I did a live stream on my channel and this was the question that was asked to me.

On the optimistic side: I said that we will finish in a European spot.

On the realistic side 10th place would be a good season. What do you think?

Which is your favourite and which are you buying?

Now that all the kits are out, which one speaks to you? Which is a must have? For me, my favourite is the red one but i will have to buy the black kit first because its a beauty. I tend to like unique kits and the stripes and badge make it top tier for me.

Looking to cover more Sevilla content. Where to Start?

Hola! Im a small content creator who has been a long time supporter of Arsenal and Sevilla. As I live in the UK its been easy to cover Arsenal because its so accessible. This year, I want to cover Sevilla just as much as I cover Arsenal. I have found a way to watch the mattches on my tablet, and intend to go back to visit Sevilla this year.

I wanted to ask the community what they would like to see from channels that cover Sevilla? I do have some ideas but i love to chat to fans to see what they would like.

Im not trying to farm for subs, I genuinely want to make a channel Sevilla fans can be proud of and enjoy watching.

MY HAITI 🇭🇹 WORLD CUP REACTION (Long Read)

I know this is a bit late but I wanted to share my thoughts on Haiti’s performance in the World Cup. (long read) I also want to hear your thoughts and if you think that Haiti can grow from here.

So I have a YouTube channel where I cover football (same as my name) ⚽️ and I decided to do watch alongs for a couple teams. My wife has Haitian heritage so it was a no brainer that Haiti was going to be one of those teams, especially as it was the second time they ever qualified for the World Cup. Additionally, I have quite a history with Haitian people and culture. My childhood best friend was Haitian, my first girlfriend was Haitian, and my last girlfriend was Haitian and i grew up around their culture. As an Afro-Latino (Puerto Rican) I was always going to root for the Caribbean anyway, especially being from South Florida. Anyway, I live in England now so it just so happened that the games were past midnight but I was determined to give Haiti the support they deserved.

The first Match v Scotland was exactly what I thought it would be. Both Scotland and Haiti were cautious and honestly, I think a bit nervous. I thought that Haiti defended well, and Placide kept them in the game. That goal from McGinn (Boooo) was a good one, and I think that Haiti were a tad wasteful and could have had easily had the equaliser if they had just been more calm. I remember being frustrated with the final ball as it often went wayward and missed the intended target. I think they at least deserved a point.

Against Brazil, this was always going to be an uphill battle. Brazil are one of the powerhouses of World Football and even though they are a far cry from the Jogo Bonito Brazil teams of the 90s and 00s, they have quality and Vini Jr is one of the best in the world. My only hope for Haiti was them to defend and keep the score respectable. I thought they did well and 3-0 isn’t as bad as it could have been. Again I thought they were wasteful in front of goal and im not going to lie, Pierrot made me want to throw the laptop at times, in both games.

Lastly, I missed the live viewing of the match v Morocco because of a heat wave here which left my computer and my flat feeling like they both were going to spontaneously combust. But the next day, I was determined to see it through so i watch the game on my channel on replay. This match is where we saw the potential that Haiti has. A 4-2 loss that was tough but exciting to watch. The cross which resulted in the first goal was something that I was begging to see vs Scotland. The second goal though, absolute screamer by Isidor… i voted it goal of the week on FIFA website. Morocco, like Brazil were always going to be a step too far and in the end, their quality shone through as they nabbed the 2 decisive goals.

All in all, im PROUD OF HAITI. I think that them and Curacao can hold their heads up high. Haiti didn’t get any points but they fought hard in a tough group and they didn’t get battered like other teams in the competition. I think with more time, cohesion and coaching they can return to the big competitions and make more noise. As the next World Cup is here in Europe, I’ve got my fingers crossed that they make it again so my wife and I can go support, in person.

Lastly, I see that the Haiti Women’s National team have the chance to make their world cup and that they will be playing in a competition in the Fall to see if they qualify for next summers tournament. I am hoping that they show the tournament so that I may follow and root them on to make it. If they do, I will be following them, just as I did in the Mens World Cup. The football future is bright in Haiti. Thanks for reading.

TLDR: I covered Haiti World Cup performance 🇭🇹 on my YouTube channel and I thought that despite the results, they put on a great show and did their country proud.

Villa Fans: How do you view Unai Emery?

I have had the pleasure (or displeasure, depending on who you ask) of having him as my manager at Arsenal and Sevilla. I loved him for what he brought to the club, especially Sevilla. 3 Europas and top 5 finishes. How do you guys view him? Do you want him to stay or do you think that maybe you can upgrade on him?
