تدريب Shadowing: This NYC Football Pitch Doesn’t Feel Real! - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

I had originally planned to film a video like this in New York on my last day, where I was going to visit multiple football stadiums in one day and see how many I could get inside.

It's a concept I've done in different locations, and I thought it'd be great to do one in America.

But New York is so big, I just couldn't fit it all in in one day.

So this video is going to be a little bit of ground hopping like the ones I was able to get to.

Literally every stadium from where I was staying was just a day trip within itself.

There was then me exploring New York on my last day.

It was like 40 degrees Celsius.

I cycled around for hours.

I walked around for hours.

It was incredible.

And whilst I was doing that, I told you everything that I learned about the World Cup, about Americans and how it was watching Scotland, which was my main reason for being there.

I wanted England to do well.

I'm English.

At the end of the day, I want England to win the World Cup.

But I live in Scotland, love Scottish football, and was following Scotland in America.

So I do sum that up towards the end of the video.

This is a fun one.

I absolutely love filming it.

I just, it's actually quite sad watching it back.

Now being back in the UK.

It's a fun video.

Hope you enjoy it hit the like button, subscribe if you aren't already, and I'll see you in NYC.

You've got this incredible view of New York from Staten Island.

You can see Manhattan, you can see parts of the world I didn't know existed.

There's that many buildings, that many skyscrapers, that many cargo ships.

The stuff that's going on in front of me here is incredible.

But the only place I'm interested in is the random little stadium there, who I don't even know who plays in it.

There's a few World Cup things going on here.

That's the World Cup beer logo.

I did see a world cup logo around the other side

so maybe they've been having like watch parties here

or something looks more i was gonna say it looks like a cricket ground then

but as you can see from the field not the pitch the field

that is a baseball stadium predominantly by the looks of things

but i think football might get played here i think a lot of the time baseball

and football share a lot it seems like what a place to watch it that'd be imagine

that big screen there and then that's your view on a nice day, pints with the lads out there, home of the Hawke City.

I'm over from the UK for the World Cup, I noticed you had a stadium here, would it be possible just to come and have a quick look at the picture tour?

Unfortunately, no. But gates do open at 4pm so you guys can come in to watch the gates.

Oh, so they screen their World Cup.

We have FanFest this week here at the stadium.

Amazing.

And does a football team, like soccer team, would the soccer team play here or is it just for baseball?

Just baseball.

Even in the off-season for baseball?

Yeah, the off-season, yes.

Oh, okay.

And who's the team?

Stand-off Ferry Hawks.

I did actually type in soccer stadium and it brought me to here.

The SI Ferry Hawks.

here we go look at this a little open astroturf pitch right in the heart of new york city here

manhattan financial districts there like world trade center buildings literally like just behind that one there.

Look at that!

Wow and ready for the view of the World Trade Center?

there it is there oh

that might be the best placed football pitch i've ever seen

can't even get it all in even with the 0.5 zoom

i can't get the shot that's mental i don't think anyone

specific like football team like senior men's team would play here i think i just typed in like soccer field

or football pitch or whatever on google maps

and this is like the closest one to where i'm staying so cool to see it but there's something that's similar.

Give me 20 minutes, we've got to walk that way.

Wow, imagine playing soccer, football here as a kid.

Like you've got the car park up there and the Hudson Rivers there and that is a view.

I feel like there's great development in, it seems like kids soccer and girls soccer

but obviously the men's fandom needs to grow a little bit and hopefully it will do after the World Cup.

What's this, is it DUSC?

Downtown United.

Do you SC, Downtown United Soccer Club?

Do they have a men's senior team or is it just kids?

We used to have a men's team for the summer, but not for this summer.

So they'd have a full 11-a-side picture, and would they get fans coming to turn them up and watch?

Sometimes, yeah.

And what would they, stand around the top?

Yeah.

Oh, cool.

Yeah, just by the bleachers right here.

Right, I've been walking for a wee bit, as I've been doing in New York, just like taking it all in.

and yeah literally hours and hours tens of thousands of steps the past few days um

but i've stumbled upon literally and i've been recommended um a really good pizza place

which should be around the corner but who knows

if there'll be like a mental cue crazy line or whatever

but look how nice these vibes are

if it's too busy we'll go somewhere else

but i want to watch the football as well which is just kind of starting

This is my first ever time in here.

Oh my gosh, welcome.

I've been recommended to come.

If I was to have the best experience, what should I order?

I would say, do you like prosciutto?

Prosciutto?

Yeah, I think so.

I would get the Lindus.

Oh, the ham?

Okay, right.

Yes, it has prosciutto, burrata, basil, parmesan, olive oil.

Very good.

100

Nice one.

101

Cheers, lads.

102

Thanks mate.

103

World Cup's on, there's been a goal.

104

There's been a goal and there's been a pizza pizza

105

Where else can you have a pit and look at?

106

Pagio, Perlo, Pagio again, Pink Goodform,

107

Bernascone, Matarazzi, Kiss and the Wonka,

108

there was a few more Zapparese and Gaccio and Wotogaf.

109

Thank you mate, that was so good, cheers.

110

I beat the queue.

111

Did you see that?

112

There's an actual line in a little bloody James, a cordon.

113

Right there now.

114

I got right in and watched the first half of France, Sweden.

115

I love how invested everywhere is in the World Cup.

116

Whether you go to a pizza place, a cafe, a hotel bar, a regular bar, pubs, anything.

117

There's just World Cup on absolutely everywhere.

118

I love it.

119

Look at this place.

120

This feels like proper New York now.

121

It's just another one of them where it looks like it's just kind of open for the public to use.

122

I don't imagine you have to book it or anything.

123

Look at that.

124

Imagine this, nice sunny day like today with the lads.

125

Little footy and a bit of game of one touch.

126

Oh, and volleys bum smacks here against

127

that wall oh unbelievable boys i've just been walking for ages

128

and i've just seen i think this must be brooklyn bridge here how do we get up there ready

129

ecuador ecuador oh it's very good uh gatorade How much?

130

Five dollars.

131

Can I pay by Apple Pay?

132

Yes, one dollar tax.

133

I've finished that and we're not even at the first bit of the bridge.

134

Wow, look at this.

135

You can literally touch it there.

136

Bit arch of old lychee this, innit?

137

Oh, sick.

138

Look at this, this is one busy old bridge.

139

We're ruining our pic, sorry girl.

140

There's just too many and if you stop for one person there'd be a massive queue.

141

You've just got to make do with the background of the people, use them to your advantage in the photo, choose your moment wisely.

142

Like that, look at this.

143

1875, not as old as Queen's Park Football Club this bridge.

144

All Rangers I think, 1872, I think Stranraa maybe as well, possibly Kilmarnock, all older than the Brooklyn Bridge.

145

It might lack proper football stadiums absolutely anywhere in it, but it is one spectacular Let's set here then.

146

The waves are mental!

147

just goes on again in

148

that direction there any other city you come to it's got like one skyline maybe something else interesting

149

that makes it unique and you can like recognize

150

that city from it but new york i've never been there's over there

151

and the statue of liberty around there and there's all

152

that stuff there and then there's here and we're in brooklyn here

153

and you've got two bridges it's like what oh probably the

154

most photogenic city i've ever seen in my life i lived in sydney

155

and melbourne this takes the piss what's been your highlight of the trip from scotland I was just thinking that earlier on,

156

I think definitely that win in Boston, Haidi.

157

Staying in Providence and winning against Haidi was a...

158

Did you go to the Marlins, Miami Marlins?

159

No, no, no. Or the baseball, Fenway Park?

160

Not big baseball fights, but yeah.

161

Oh, fair enough.

162

And what's been the highlight of the World Cup for you, would you say?

163

I don't know, I personally would be a bit sceptical coming out, but I reckon just Americans have been brilliant.

164

Yeah, they've been so good haven't they?

165

It's definitely one thing I wasn't expecting.

166

They've been so welcoming.

167

Buying us beers and stuff.

168

And they've actually been quite keen on the football as well.

169

Yeah, well that's it.

170

It's been on every bar, everywhere you go, it's been shown on TV as well.

171

Speaking of the American Mike as well, the biggest thing about this whole thing is Americans are now getting into soccer.

172

And also, they're now realising that Scotland isn't Ireland and it isn't England.

173

Yeah, they finally figured that out.

174

I mean, it's a bit of education for them.

175

Yeah, 100% yeah.

176

Nice.

177

All the best, get back to Evinness.

178

Yeah, no, it's very nice.

179

I hope the wind wasn't too bad on that clip then.

180

Nairn County fans.

181

These free need a couple of quid to use one of these back home Oh mate that's not the real.

182

It's so hot though

183

so i know this video has been a bit random it

184

was supposed to be the i visited certain amount of stadiums in a day in new york kind of video

185

but everywhere is

186

so spread out literally to go to one stop is essentially

187

a day trip in itself of how long it takes to get there how long i'd to be there

188

and then get back again like new york is just too big to do

189

that so um it kind of turned into the rooftops the poking about in the one on staten island

190

and then yeah just a little bit on a couple of others

191

that we visited and then it just so happens

192

that it just ended on the last day of my trip this video this was the one

193

that i was yeah just kind of hoping to film over these last couple days

194

but i didn't quite get it done

195

but since it was my last day anyway i was always going to do a video sharing my thoughts

196

so we'll just like merge it all into one

197

and here we are are now let's start with scotland's tournament

198

as a whole it kind of felt a little bit like

199

how scottish teams have been in europe the past few years

200

for americans who don't know scottish clubs have got some great history in europe

201

and while rangers did reach the europa league final

202

and have had some good europa league results in the last

203

five to six years the recent couple of seasons have been awful

204

and it's like the coefficient is meaning

205

that from the following season after this one coming up i

206

think scotland are losing a place in europe they have five now i think it's going down to four

207

because of how poor it's been

208

and that's kind of how the world cup felt i think there's a mentality issue

209

that everybody speaks about in scottish football um and it obviously transcends club

210

and like tournament football right now like seems like

211

when scotland gets put on the world stage it can't quite

212

seem to yeah get themselves over the line yeah my one game

213

that i came to uh the massive moment covering scottish football through bleak winters at bloody wick

214

and Dalbiti star building up to Scotland in a World Cup

215

with a chance to qualify from the group for the first

216

time ever all they really had to do was get a point in

217

that game or if they'd have won

218

that would have been the most iconic Scottish football match of

219

all time this channel's got a weird way of doing things

220

and could the universe deliver for me on this occasion no

221

it couldn't we didn't even register a shot on target conceded within the first minute

222

and the game just fizzled out into a 1-0 to Morocco

223

in one of the most disappointing performances you could ever have imagined to go to at least at least

224

if it was a 4-3 loss you'd have had three goals a crazy thumbnail

225

and just something to shout and cheer about

226

but yeah in the end i paid thousands of pounds to go to that game

227

and scotland didn't register a single shot on target didn't make

228

the goalkeeper make a save there were very few moments of excitement

229

but the general overall experience was just absolutely incredible in boston

230

and i feel like maybe that's the universe's way of telling me there's a ying

231

and a yang to life you can't have the whole incredible amazing experience of everything

232

and get the win as well so

233

and scotland went out on goal difference again

234

if you know anything about scotland's record and history

235

and tournament football you will know how many times they've gone

236

out on goal difference i think maybe even goals scored one of the times as well um

237

but they are the biggest nation who's played in the most

238

amount of tournaments that's never made it past a group stage

239

think of all the great scottish players from down the years

240

kenny dalgalish dennis law graham soonest even more modern ones like darren fletcher

241

and the current crop like scott mctominay

242

and john mcginn andy robertson these guys have never made it past a group stage of any tournament ever

243

that they've qualified for

244

when i went to scotland v morocco i was hoping to see something different

245

but i just witnessed another edition of

246

that terrible record it makes all the hundreds of trips i've

247

ever done from the highland league to the west of scotland

248

league the premiership all the way around the spfl makes all

249

of it worth it just for these moments i've had with

250

all the scotland fans out here getting to know them back at home

251

and for them to know me through the videos

252

and to meet them out here and the love

253

that i got honestly was just absolutely unbelievable the best vlog

254

i ever made i think was on this trip the miami madness at the marlins

255

and then the south beach march the next day

256

so fun honestly just seeing people from back home

257

and seeing how much they're enjoying themselves it's just such a

258

shame it didn't go on as long as it did

259

but genuinely showed themselves to be the best fans in the world

260

and so much fun no animosity seeing bernard as well bernard ground opera fc going to boston seeing all

261

that honestly like the traffic cones everything just from getting there

262

i obviously got there halfway through their whole boston experience

263

so everyone was all settled in by then and it was just

264

so scottish when i got there

265

and it was just a home away from home the freedom

266

trail guys even just going through the freedom trail on my

267

own americans trying all the scottish snacks seeing boyd on the

268

day of the scotland v morocco game as well these are all memories

269

that will last forever on to the home euros next in 2028

270

so let's get past the groups lads please good luck to whoever the new manager is

271

and however the squad gets on genuinely want the best for scotland hope

272

that they do well

273

but for me i am english i always want to see england do well first

274

and foremost but live in scotland love scottish football

275

and would like to see you guys all the scottish

276

that are out there do just as well as humanly possible what a spot to do this outro

277

last day in america there's always something going on all right i've not done this

278

for ages we did this in glasgow a few times remember years ago

279

or the americans who had just started to watch the channel

280

won't remember we've got a bike let's get up let's get on it come on

281

oh the seat is so hot i need to put the seat down

282

but as they say it's just like riding the back oh freedom sick Oh, lads.

283

It was only these boys that told me to do this on my first day.

284

Made me think, at least do it on my last day.

285

And this is my first ever day in New York.

286

Wow.

287

What should I eat?

288

What should I drink?

289

What should I do?

290

Give me one thing to do and I'll try and do it today.

291

A bike.

292

Go biking, man.

293

Get a bike.

294

We just want to go on the pier.

295

Yeah, go on the pier.

296

So rent a bike and go on the pier.

297

Absolute legends.

298

What a way to get around this is.

299

I'm like halfway to Central Park already would have took me ages on public transport or walking or whatever.

300

I was so expensive in a cab.

301

Oh, look at this.

302

This is undoubtedly the best way to get around.

303

It's like 37 degrees Celsius today or something.

304

About 100 for the Americans, high 90s or something.

305

So it's bloody off.

306

So getting around with a bit of breeze on the old cab.

307

Someone's been saying I'm not wearing my cab right this whole time.

308

My arse is killing me.

309

Sweating my tits off, arse is killing me.

310

I need to find somewhere to dump the bike now.

311

Bike's away.

312

I am roasting.

313

I need to get out of the sun.

314

I literally have the best spot in New York right now.

315

what what the fk just as I say

316

that I need to get out of the sun I maybe just hallucinated a turtle floating about talking to me there

317

I'm honestly the sweatiest mess I've ever been let's get the bag out of the way

318

we're going to thank the Americans next

319

and since I made you try our snacks it's time

320

that on my last day here I try some of yours

321

so I got some Boston baked beans we were in Boston

322

literally one of my favorite places I've ever been in the world I like peanuts candy coated though what does

323

that mean and then milk duds they looked a bit like the writing from Twix

324

and Snickers had a baby and that was the writing that it created that's why I got them.

325

Okay, Milk Duds first.

326

How can you see that?

327

Chewy?

328

Fine.

329

Turtle one, eh?

330

I've got even a snapping turtle couldn't get through these.

331

And that's a bit like a curly-whirly texture from back home.

332

Try the Boston baked beans in a minute.

333

I just want to say, though, to all the Americans, thank you so much for everything during this World Cup.

334

Am I better off sitting down here?

335

Can you still hear me if I sit here?

336

Bloody hell, I need to get out of the heat.

337

Your positive energy is so infectious, and it just makes me want to, like, do well.

338

I've had, like, well over 2K subs in two to three weeks.

339

It's not like me to really mention subscribers that much and stuff, or even like ask that much in the videos.

340

I might put the logo to subscribe on for like a few seconds if I remember.

341

My job is to try and keep the content, the content as much as possible without...

342

This is why this feels a bit weird

343

because it's not like purely just a topic

344

and then making a video just on that and keeping it to that within a YouTube video.

345

I hope that people kind of appreciate that's the way I make the videos

346

and they subscribe and stay engaged because of that.

347

But to all the Americans who have subscribed, like I say, I really appreciate it.

348

and if you want to stay engaged going forward i'm going to have

349

so many videos coming up from back home in the uk

350

and all the different parts of the world i've had loads of different opportunities

351

and hopefully i can come back to america as well that's something i'm definitely keen on exploring

352

so let's see how it all goes

353

and um yeah stay subscribed see what i'm doing on instagram

354

and tiktok and stuff as well instagram

355

and youtube are my main two i post a lot here on youtube

356

so uh yeah and instagram stories

357

if you want to keep up to date with kind of

358

what i'm doing more day to day boston baked beans let's try these

359

and they've got to be a bit better than the milk

360

duds they are duds please be decent please be decent kind of look a little bit like smarty almost what

361

that reminds you of back home nothing's really

362

that color down the hatch six at one time oh boston

363

baked beans for the win back on two wheels i've had such a chill afternoon

364

chilling in central park last full day cycling around it now it's got a bit cooler it's about 4, 4.30.

365

But honestly, the hottest part of the day was mental.

366

I'm going to race them and them.

367

Smoke them.

368

Oh no. I've been done.

369

That's cheating.

370

That's an electric bike.

371

Just as I was going to go for gold then.

372

What a place to end the trip.

373

End of the bike trail.
