I love the rocketboom project.
How does one go about becoming a professional /b/tard ?
That was really touching, especially the singing at the end.
Ah.. Them and their vuvuzlas. Stop blowing. Watch the game what the fuck
It’s amazing how little comments there are when Molly isn’t in a video
Molly, where are you?
What the backgroun music used when the team leader and keeper are interviewed?
Cameraman, and all this documentary, are a very highest level and is very very professionnal …LOVE IT
This is great :D
I’m really glad for him. Bzzzz to you too my African friend and best wishes.
This is pretty cool.
No Molly? No need to watch.
“…is either football or the drugs…” lol
What a wonderful organisation!
this is really interesting
Wait….is this a joke?
Problems will still be there when they get back. How about fixing the system instead of this one sparkle of happiness..
1/3 of women in the 25-29 years old segment have aids.
That huge arena there looked like shit. What a waste by an incompetent regime.
streetball = street basketball, not that jogging sport called soccer
Omg, she’s sexy!! OH wait…
Nice cribz in dis vid
Beautifull video
@FuryChord You’re right, It is amazing how many people comment on a video about unicorns, but when there’s a video about people trying to do something amazing, nobody seems to care.
why are there dislikes for such noble causes?
@ApplausableGuy That’s the only reason I came here. I thought it was gonna be about South Africans doing insane street basketball moves lol.
This is good but would be 500% better with Molly
@RAWryyy Considering most viewers are hormonal tweeners, it’s not surprising
@rayads786 Because everyone who subscribes to ROCKETBOOM is a pervert, and all they want to do is stare at the females on this channel.
I think I speak for everyone when I say “fucking awesome”
Keeps them from stealing and causing other mischief.
Dear Molly,
thanks for uploading
love u
foot ball and soccer = foccer :D
Awesome
now ive seen everything
It does not take money or large plans to treat others like a human being. I wonder what the world would be like if we gave everyone a chance to prove themselves like in this video.. Just one on one.. Thank you so much for sharing this.. it made my heart smile!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
WHERE THE FUCK IS MOLLY!!!!!
I’d like to see a movie about these people. mostly about the place they live in. i could care less about soccer now that its come out of the closet.
really professional quality work.
2:05 BELGIUM WOOT:P
@Jinxxed0 LOL yes!
Dont care about soccer any more … since you know…. it came out of the closet.
so wait homeless players have to play on the gravel?
liked it
@crusadah omg, this sint a molly channel, its rocketboom. Want molly subscribe to her channel mememolly
Very interesting.
isn’t it great how a sport like soccer can give people so much hope? :)
what a great cause!
Vuvzela Vuvuzela Vuvuzela Vuvuzela Vuvuzela
This just shows that Football rules………
Bravo to Rocketboom
@redneckcaseyjones
It is called Futsal…………only four players on each side, players have to be highly skilled due to the small court
@FuryChord wow i was going to watch this video until you told me molly isnt in it. thanks
@mohan2 im completely serious btw.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBZZ
Just a vote: How many people watch rocketboom just for Molly?
Who pays for the plane tickets ?
and how many watch because Rocketboom has interesting stories
?
Thanks for telling me about this wonderful competition! If they host it in Seattle, they’ll have to do it in Tent City!
@FuryChord i watch Rocketboom because of there interesting videos
no molly no comment. :(
what I don’t understand is why the only have 50% of the team come from the streets. What do the other 50% do? professional football palyers?
Seen a film some months ago about homeless football worldcup :) was fun
@FuryChord I do. If you want to look at girls, find a porn site.
Very cool program
BS! do not care for niggers
@FuryChord i do. i didn’t sub cuz of molly
Thank you very much ROCKETBOOM it’s nice to see these videos about people doing amazing thing like this - keep up the good work
Very nice presentation. Keep up the good work!
Loving how the kid ran for it when he saw the camera at 0:47 -_-
My gosh, what an amazing cause. This is such an amazing idea.
@FuryChord Probably because the sad twats who insist on leave sexually derogatory / lewd comments get bored in about 2 seconds and go to find some porn to watch; which is no change, as that’s what they do 90% of the time anyway.
very nice video rocketboom :D
we miss you Molly, come back!!!! <3 <3 <3
A very humbling video Rocketboom. As always, incredibly professional and intelligent news.
Keep up the amazing work guys.
The homeless world cup is such a great idea. I came across it a couple of years ago when it was in manchester england. There was a spread in the Big issue. Great idea. Thanks Rocketboom
@Stmated you make a good point
@toocoolcat Some of the stuf that the footballer says at the end is inspiring and thought provoking, ‘look at you like a humanbeing, like a sports man’. wow. football, a game of two halfs. Us and the other half
wow, i didnt even realise they had a homeless world cup, thats such a good idea to get people off the streets and give them hope
those men are an inspiration
@jscheffer85 desperate much?
@Stmated True enough. But one factor you don’t account in is that 67% of the internet is hormonal tween males looking for libido instigators
I hope Christopher Johnson is on the team
Greatt!!, never knew this before.
@Brandog132 lol nah, i have a GF, its just that she is so much better at the annoucer gig then that guy is.
wow, that’s way more interesting than the regular world cup, very interesting.
Very cool, but as an economist, I can’t stop thinking when we’ll start seeing kids passionated about soccer taking off to the streets for a chance to get into the team.
I love it when Rocketboom covers things like this ^^
@LoveMeSomeSarcasm wow its nice to see some one not commenting on the rocketboom girls breasts
@LoveMeSomeSarcasm f-u
@arrisfilms would probably be because I’m female :P
Very interesting and sort of sad..
Religion is very easy to suggest to these guys..Like that dude with “I *heart* Jesus” cap said “Hope is very important, if we give up hope we might as well die”.
It’s easier to live in these shitty coniditons if in the back of your head you believe that if you just live this live honestly and modestly, you will go to heaven..
Also exactly the reason why goverments try to force religion onto people..It makes controlling them waaaaay easier.
It’s a pretty sad world we live in
@ModeLTU Um, why do you have to bring religion into this?
Beautiful story!
What a great idea~ :)
rocketboom just wont cease to amaze me with all the content and production it delivers. humanwire stories, molly’s daily dose of random but intriguing news, and ellas and ellies occasional segments are just brilliant… ahhh RB <3
in my sincere opinion the best channel on youtube.
i’m glad there are so many programs out there helping people back on to their feet.
props to rocketboom for showing such inspirational vidz.
@ModeLTU dude, don’t worry! i heard jesus is a pretty nice guy once you get to know him!
@TwoThirdsMajority Dunno, just felt like saying that.
I’m simply sad that these good kids have to suffer this brainwashing and that some influential people take advantage of them by hiding behind the figure of “God”.
Is that Afrikaans on the monitor?
@FuryChord apparently youtube user like to comment on the people they like to fuck.
ive seen one of the games when they held it here in melbourne - they’re quite good actually.
this is so great, getting these people and giving them a hope in life.
football really does bring people and nations together.
@ModeLTU So? As long as you enjoy the sport, you should not be bothered by his/her religion, race and/or sexuality.. That’s what futebol/soccer is all about.
@Stmated It’s like that everywhere. It hinders the progress of all media if you ask me :/
@TwoThirdsMajority Race and sexuality are fine.People don’t choose those.Just saying that it’s cruel to lie to these young kids, let them put all that faith into a fairytale while ppl on top reap the rewards..
It’s nice that football can let them enjoy their life more
i actually really like the girl X is hot comments. i always thumb them up heh.
i duno why. i think its just cool to know that the kind of person who would just write ’she’s hot’ is also receiving some cool world information
@Zm4rf But in the end of the day, let them believe whatever they want. If people want to believe in fairytales or legends, let them. As long as they don’t shove it down your throats or mine, it’s all fine.
@Stmated so right! Good work getting to the highest rated comment :)
If your gonna speak english speak it right. then maybe you can get a job
@ModeLTU I hear a lot of anti religon thrown around now days, i used to be christian, but i still support what they do, because there the only people pulling the hard yards for hope that someone worse off then them can become better…. just saying, you not eat for a week, give all that food to people you don’t know, put in more money then what you thought you can, go to work, but then spend all your spare time helping these people become stronger. THEN you can say religion isn’t doing any good.
@shangliu well that way, its not just guys getting together and talking about all the crap they get up to, and then having no real way to learn football… I assume they get to play with people who can be inspiring.
I wanna read that book!!! How do i know how to find it???
@HaydenHatTrick Well, we are supposed to do good things and help each other because we can and we are smart enough to do it, NOT because an invisible guy in the sky will reward us if we do these good deeds..
To a certain degree christian organizations DO help ppl, but considering how much money church cashes-in every year, it’s still just a big scam, giving people false hope and feeding of their fear of dying..
But yea, that’s off-topic
these guys pwns
@Stmated thank you for that comment
@ModeLTU I don’t think you really understand why people participate in religion. people don’t go around thinking how much karma points you can score by doing something good. religious people do good things because they have been taught that its the right thing to do. there’s a huge amount of empathy poured into religion and so because they’ve been taught to do so, Christians and Buddhists ext. feel like they need to do things to end others suffering. not because for self redemption.
These guys can rape Molly. Beware.
sounds like a nice thing, although i never liked how in sports that a team represents a country they come from. no offense, but i dont think that a sports team represents a country.
@FuryChord I started watching because of paradox week. I found those videos interesting and intelligent. And I like what I’ve seen since.
this does not build a nation. what about 5 years from now. where will they be. same shit goes on in the usa. every black kid thinks he’s gonna be a great basketball player or football player. well do the math. those in charge are selling pipe dreams. education not football will build a nation. real education not ebonicism…right spike lee
cooool :D
BBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz
pretty amazing
Damm if they get a home they cant play.. :P
they should put the best homeless against the best real team and see who wins
@FuryChord wheres molly? haha
i bet they’re all so violent
omg i almost cried when they started singing thier anthem or whatever they were singing… so beautiful! :’)
i was lucky enough to watch this when it was on in the city. it was awesome, a real big deal in melbourne.
It’s a good video, but it’s almost two years old…
i saw a street soccer tournament when i was in dc last summer - they were finding players for this melbourne world cup.
it’s isnt called ‘homeless team’ it’s just ’streeet soccer’.
what? Finland has a team in there? :D I find it hard to believe that they have homeless ppl playing.. from here
does anyone know the south african song the players sing in the video @4:12 ???
Rocketboom is excellent, I love every story you tell :)
I wish there was more thumbs up
this is awesome, i love streetball and i didnt know it was for homeless people too, but that makes the game more awesome
i lurv rocketboom
I think this is amazing. This is love of a game, not just a career. And I think this kind of passion and drive is what is missing from the world cup so far!
Wonderful Wonderful. Fantastic.
Rocketboom, you guys rock. Touching video :)
@bb0xx It’s called Shosholoza.
lyrics (not sure on spelling)
Shosholoza, shosholoza
Kulezontaba
Stimela Sphuma South Africa
Wenu Yabaleka
Wenu Yabaleka,
Kulezontaba
Stimela Sphuma South Africa
Shosholoza was a sad song sung by people during hard labour.
English translation: Move faster, You are meandering on those mountains, The train is from South Africa. You accelerate, on those mountains, The train is from South Africa. Shosholoza means Go forward or Make way for the next man
Sometimes i think if the U.S would be a kind of a diffrent country if its main sport was football
wow
Incredible.
Not trying to be offensive just stating something
Wouldn’t it not be surprising that they’re homeless because a lot of Africa is in poverty?
@justinlovespastry I’m not sure of what your trying to say. Every country that was there had homeless players, thus showing homelessness is a problem all over the world not just Africa. Of course the world knows Africa has a majoir problem with homelessness but their not the only ones.
@justinlovespastry I agree (:
Homeless world cup? I don’t get it. Why not solve the problem of homelessness? Why do people need to be homeless?
Why celebrate homelessness?
These guys aren’t very good.
@podcastbard You need to listen more carefully
IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
soccer sucks’
i hope these guys use this as a way to actually get off the streets…i know too many don’t use the opportunities they get to the full potential.
this ia amazing
@blasterLA24 basketball sucks
@PatrioT6611 i know right??? the ways they sing make me cry too, but i dont have a clue of what they saying
@anitec19 o_0 u kiddin’ ryt’,,,damn basketbol is soo fuckin’ beast’
incredible
BAFANA BAFANA!!!!!!
@anitec19 that wasnt necessary
