Football Parents

I watched this series even thought I don't even like football. However, it is very relatable for any parent. It shows us how parents can be childish and spiteful, but also loving and caring towards both their children and other grown ups.

We all know some of these characters, and even if they are somewhat exaggerated, they feel like real people with real issues.

Although the characters are very alike those in Luizenmoeder, the story is different and the interactions are more between the parents than the teachers/trainers.

I really enjoyed Voetbalouders. My kids enjoyed it too. It is a family friendly, comedy with heart. I would certainly watch a second season.

Mostly very funny 😄 - lots of laughs, especially if you've ever seen (or been) that overly-excited-sports-parent (or coach).

I had a good time watching it, and heard a lot of laughter while watching with friends!

But there is a little message too: It pokes fun at the way adults sometimes take kids' games a bit too seriously. Behind the humor is a gentle reminder: maybe it's not about winning, coaching from the sidelines, or turning every match into the World Cup. Sometimes it's just about letting kids play, mess up, and enjoy the game - while we try to chill a bit too.

Have a look, enjoy, and next time try to be that supporting(!) parent for your kid ;-)

This is a solid comic series. I would love to see it having season 2. It wasn't THAT good in the first half of the show because the audience are still seeing the parents who are annoying and unlikable. Most parents' characters are superficial and single-layered particularly in episode 1 and 2. However, the magic of the show is it brings the audience into the kids' perspective. From the second half of the show, you start to realize the show is not to seriously talk about how football parents parent, but joyfully talk about how football kids are being kids despite the dysfunctional parents. It has a warm and fairytale-like ending. You want to know what will happen to the team next. Also Ilse Warringa contributed incredibly fun screenplay!!

So please do not let haters stop you producing season 2. It is fun to watch! We should be more like kids than parents.

Going to watch full of anticipation because ...lice mothers. But unfortunately, this series is sadly bad. All clichés are taken out of the closet and incredibly thickened and glued to characters, making you rather think you're looking at a failed farce. This is just really not fun. If this is Netflix worthy, then everyone can crawl behind their laptop for a week and go wild without wondering if so many over the top scenes still seem credible. I can't escape the impression that Ilse Warringa thought; I have a good series as a reference and can now easily cash in. Think she has now lost her credit with football parents.

Srebrenica genocide is the worst crime against humanity since WW2 in Europe. 8000 Bosniak men and boys were killed by Serb forces in July 1995 partially due to the failiure of Dutch UN soldiers to protect the civilians.

Netherlands is the last country in the world that should be mocking this and in one scene Srebrenica is mocked by characters of this show. I think creators of the show should apologize since quotes like that are disrespectful, inappropriate and they are insulting the families of the victims and survivors of the genocide.

Biggest tragedy in Europe in last 80 years shouldn't be subject of comedy.
