Fantasy Football League – Funniest World Cup Moment Ever!
Posted by phvideos · 25 Comments
From itv’s Fantasy World Cup series with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, here is a classic Phoenix From The Flames sketch featuring Ilunga Mwepu kicking away a Brazil free-kick for Zaire in their 1974 FIFA World Cup match on June 22, 1974 Broadcast on 11th June 1998 I’m looking to increase my collection of full episodes of this – I presently have about a dozen BBC episodes, and all of the ITV episodes. If you have anything to trade, please give me a PM and we’ll discuss it.

I’ve been watching a few of these FFL clips for nostalgia, and it looks really shit these days to be honest… except this clip, which is fucking hilarious. And Ilunga is a total dude.
this is so funny
“I’ll go down in history. Everyone will respect me.” lol
Classic. We had this in Australia for the 1998 World Cup and the Phoenix from the flames moments were pure class. This is one of the best ones
I had to wait 5 or so minutes before posting cos I was laughing so much. just when you think it’s reached the comic peak, it usurps it – the cravat joke, the porn Sinstadt running gag, the dog, and then the punchline. god I wish they’d never stopped this programme.
Mwepu was hilarious.
i was watching the world cup draw today and when they were doing a history lesson of past world cups they showed this part!!!! i thought about this vid and laughed so hard!
God bless Ilunga Mwepu! The story behind his iconic moment is actually quite a sad one that tells you much about his country’s tragic state of affairs at the time. It’s fantastic that he can see the humour in it, and Zaire definitely had the best shirt in World Cup history. Hope to see them return as DR Congo one day.
@DIGSYtheBRIT They aren’t doing another series of Fantasy Football, but they are doing another series of World Cup podcasts, as they did for the 2006, all of which you can still download from their official website.
In addition, they are also doing a live radio show for Absolute Radio during next year’s tournament.
seriously, i think this is the funniest one they ever did……..
He seems a real good sport!
Ilunga Mwepu is a fuckin’ genius!
They could pick on anyone. Probably someone like niklas Bendtner for being unpredictable, Adebayor as well, Anderson because he’s shit and has similar hair to jason lee, Jimmy Bullard because the guys hilarious, coaches: Harry Redknapp, David moyes because hes scottish
fellaini?
need this show to come back i miss it, who would be the modern day Jason Lee character to take the piss out of though?? pineapple head haha
