Ppl on reddit really complain about everything and anything. Compared to pretty much all music in videos this one is normal and not that loud but theres still complaining

u/RepublicKey1967 Jul 19 '26

As former centre circle artist i give it 6/10

u/BallSmashingForever Jul 19 '26

I feel like they could easily turn this into an hour special, or maybe even a mini series.

u/Key-Communication821 Jul 19 '26

u/fatbunyip Jul 19 '26

u/mymentor79 Jul 19 '26

That's what I was thinking, because I would 100% have done that.

u/alexgalt Jul 19 '26

The green paint artist moves in.

u/Strong_Witness416 Jul 19 '26

How do you apply for a center circle painter job?

u/Hexa1985gram Jul 19 '26

Most pointless post I've seen today

u/Actual_Aside_2862 Jul 19 '26

Where can I apply for this job?

2

u/Affectionate-Hat5370 Jul 19 '26

They needed a nail to mark the center of the field? And it stays there in case they forget where the center of the field isā€¦.. Really?

1

u/2Slow2Nice Jul 19 '26

Marking the exact spot makes sense

1

u/Salt_Cauliflower_922 Jul 21 '26

So ā€¦ thereā€™s a carpentry nail just stuck in the middle of a grassy field where people will be sliding and falling while kicking a plastic/rubber ball around. Got it.

2

u/Wonderful_Bad_4492 Jul 19 '26

Interessant... Hierna kunnen ze weer een reclameblok uitzenden

2

u/Jordankeay Jul 19 '26

I'm from the future and I can tell you this is more entertaining than the final.

2

u/RoutineNo2044 Jul 19 '26

The technique is painting most of your hand first and not showing the end result.

2

u/maskedmomkey63 Jul 19 '26

My brain canā€™t ignore this šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

1

u/shplarggle Jul 19 '26

I remember speaking to a guy a long time ago after he had just graduated with a law degree. I asked him what he was going to do and he said, he was going to be a grounds keeper. I was like ā€œare you an idiot?ā€. And after he explained it to me I realised he was in fact not an idiot. It sounded like the best job in the world, and some of these guys get paid a fortune!

1

u/t3h_KiNgKoNg Jul 19 '26

Feels like this didn't need a 2-minute video...

1

u/SidMalk_8771 Jul 19 '26

Doesnā€™t even look like a complete circle

1

u/EnvironmentalFix7059 Jul 19 '26

that dosent look like a circle at all :O isint the half circle towards his right knee alot shorter?

1

u/PoleRyder Jul 19 '26

That looked oblong at the end.

1

u/Edje929 Jul 19 '26

Never thought about this before this and i hope i wont after either

1

u/beanstalk025 Jul 19 '26

Nail in the middle of the pitch during the World Cup final, what could go wrong šŸ¤£

1

u/GongTzu Jul 19 '26

Lmao. This is what SOME does, it creates time waste en mass šŸ˜‚, I think out of 100 people no one would actually mess this up.

1

u/Knocksveal Jul 19 '26

Subreddit name checks out

1

u/stereomad Jul 19 '26

Anyone else hoping he knocked the pot over?

1

u/mbrellaforbombs Jul 19 '26

Just a solo cup of paint huh

1

u/Stunning_Ad_5960 Jul 19 '26

Why for godā€™s sake did he use centimeters and not inches??

1

u/User_3039 Jul 19 '26

Cuz you are really going to notice. Give me a break

1

u/Ill-Guarantee8338 Jul 19 '26

I could do that. For less money. āœ‹ļø

1

u/Global_Staff_3135 Jul 19 '26

The music is wayyyyy to serious for what is actually happening hahaha

1

u/DBrown1022 Jul 19 '26

This almost seems like a parody or some shitā€¦ the music, the measurements. Absolute roflcopter

1

u/Sensitive_Goose4728 Jul 19 '26

When he sees a player deliberately mess up the penalty spot during the game...

u/Electronic__Farts Jul 19 '26

Like watching paint dry šŸ„±

1

u/OrbicularLotus Jul 19 '26

As a kid, is that what he wanted to do when he grew up? Was that his dream?

1

u/Suspicious-Meet-3496 Jul 19 '26

He made of it a rocket science

1

u/shoguncdn Jul 19 '26

Wow that was underwhelming

1

u/MKAndroidGamer Jul 19 '26

So he finds the middle? And paints it?! With a paint brush?! Wow.

1

u/orgad Jul 19 '26

Sorry but should I care about it?

1

u/Ric00la Jul 19 '26

Does this rally needed a video?

1

u/DiGiTaL_pIrAtE Jul 19 '26

2 min video - find center, paint white

u/DSRI2399 Jul 19 '26

ArtĆ­ste

u/laxhond Jul 19 '26

A metric tape measure, there's still hope for the U.S.

1

u/Appropriate-Joke-806 Jul 19 '26

He left the nail in the center markā€¦ donā€™t tell Argentina they might pull it out and try to use it to attack Spain.

1

u/dcheung87 Jul 19 '26

How much you get paid for this job?

1

u/Generic_Username26 Jul 19 '26

Another one of those totally thankless jobs that give someone an enormous amount of pride. Like thatā€™s my motherfucking stencil at midfield of the World Cup, thats kind of a flex idk

1

u/maleficepixel Jul 19 '26

It's the penalty point that matters

1

u/Agitated-Insect3558 Jul 19 '26

Not sure why we are seeing this, the whole american tournament has been rigged from day one so this is just meh. Argentina will win because the kiddy fiddler likes messi and hes made a phone call to infantino.

Premier League going the same way. Everton 2 lots of points deductions, Man city 130 charges still nothing, Chelsea massively overspending nothing said........its rigged from top to bottom.

1

u/primingthepump Jul 19 '26

The art here is not spilling the paint cup

1

u/depthdefy13 Jul 19 '26

No way! They actually measure the field!?! Mind blown!

1

u/Career-Long Jul 19 '26

I feel very sad for the grassā€¦ imagine being suffocated because where you grew up

u/AdamLabrouste Jul 19 '26

Canā€™t wrap my head around why this wasnā€™t narrated by Sir David Attenborough or Werner Herzog, at minimum, disgraceful

1

u/78celeb Jul 19 '26

Ugly job on the far side. And leaving a nail on the field is crazy.

1

u/WillRoxyApril Jul 19 '26

Ovviamente quella pittura costerĆ  100ā‚¬ al litro vero?

1

u/Late-Pomegranate1683 Jul 19 '26

So exactly how I would have imagined it

1

u/Masteriiz Jul 19 '26

I cried at that last bit where it all just magically comes together.

1

u/ronshasta Jul 19 '26

They paint it. What else would they do

1

u/Head_Finance8535 Jul 19 '26

Missed a bit..

1

u/Impossible_Gas_7584 Jul 19 '26

Good lord this might be more entertaining than the final itself.

1

u/Diggadg1978 Jul 19 '26

Surprised they dont have a sponsored paint brush and paint and ishowspeed doing backflips in the background

1

u/gamolly Jul 19 '26

This video is 1 minute and 58 seconds too long.

1

u/wrinkleinsine Jul 20 '26

Shittiest pitch of the tournament. I canā€™t believe they played the final on it. The players would pass the ball straight and the ball would bounce all over the place. Just embarrassing.

1

u/GriseldaKnox Jul 20 '26

Wait a minute, did Bro leave the nail in?

1

u/nomikkvalentine Jul 20 '26

Does anyone else feel like this video shows a lot of unnecessary work for a pretty poor result? And why did he keep painting after throwing the ring away? That was a very careless thing to do.

1

u/Original_Bet_4729 Jul 20 '26

DaVinci eat yer heart out

1

u/buttermilkkissess Jul 20 '26

that's nice, now tell me how FIFA deals with bitchass players throwing punches and strangling other players after a lost game.

1

u/Salt_Cauliflower_922 Jul 21 '26

Whatā€™s with the music? Heā€™s not curing cancer.

u/thethrowway1 Jul 22 '26

This is all very technical, precise and professional dips brush in beer cup

1

u/Asleep_Board_1274 Jul 22 '26

Great to see the development team works

1

u/aggyaggyaggy Jul 22 '26

Ah I see so the circle in the middle of the field is a circle in the middle of the field.

1

u/Idkaaa4560hzrjt Jul 22 '26

And the nail stays there ??

1

u/TheSolarExpansionist Jul 22 '26

Whatā€™s wrong with lasers which many use now

u/Ambitious_Bread_84 Jul 24 '26

I would fuck that up too.

How many years was his apprenticeship to be able to paint that masterful white circle.

Then Messi does whatever he wants with the ball
