The Dramatic Downfall Of The F2 Freestylers

the F2 AKA Jeremy suazlinch and Billy wingrove are arguably the tackiest football freestylers on the internet for years they've been showcasing their talent online and have cemented themselves in the football industry and over the years they've built a social media Network that is the combined following of an above average size European country their football videos often revolve around working with Brands and professional football players alongside this they produce football challenge related content most of which is aimed at a young audience so how did this social media football Duo go from everyone's favorite football freestylers to football villains but your best chance is here thousands and thousands of hours of football each more climactic than the last option dizzying 24-hour year-long endless football every ticket massively mattering to someone presumably this is the rise and fall of the F2 before I begin I should mention that realistically they haven't fallen in terms of success because both Jeremy and Billy are insanely successful however in this video I was taught more about their reputation within the YouTube and online community so who the [ __ ] are these people Jeremy suas Lynch has always had a passion for football and apparently began freestyling in 2000 at age 13 after watching a Nike advert that featured Edgar Davis and denilson according to Jeremy at age 15 he played for Arsenal's Academy and has publicly stated in an F2 video the Arsenal coaches told him that on the ball he was the best at the whole club including the first team however off the ball he was the worst me I'm not a professional because I was at Arsenal I was on my way to being a professional got released because they said on the ball best at the whole cup including the first Thursday I was only 15 at the time the best but they said off the ball you're one of the worst in the club which was true and it was because I was too raw I didn't have any much coaching when I was uh Growing Up So my movement and my understanding of the game was actually poor now if my D grade GCSE Maps is correct the time in which Jeremy would have been told he was the best ball player at Arsenal was in the 2003-2004 season now if you don't know what happened in the 2003-2004 season Austin won the Premier League and went completely unbeaten for the entire season and arguably had some of the best players of all time including Thierry Henry Dennis burkamp and Robert Pires however since Jeremy's claim that he's played for Arsenal 15. ex-professional footballer third Bruce Mo Amber who's the same age as Jeremy also played for Arsenal's Academy at the same time and appeared on Jack Mae's Happy Hour podcast in which he stated that he never recalls Jeremy being part of the squad and they never appeared in any of the team photos [Music] above me yeah wow everybody in life above me so you're telling me he's playing with with us then because probably guys he was here about me so that's the that's good as a result of this Jeremy faced heavy backlash and memeing across the internet after getting released from Arsenal's Academy Jeremy went to University where he'd complete his coaching badges at the age of 20 during his final year of University he went on at the time one of the most popular talent shows in the world Bryn's Got Talent this is where Jeremy first founded the idea of turning football freestyling into an act Jeremy got great reactions from the judges even though the show is completely scripted I managed to get all the way to the semi-finals of the show before getting axed Billy wingrove is the oldest and wisest of the duo and comes from a passionate football family with his dad briefly playing for tottenham's Academy and his cousin being part of the first team squad at Arsenal however his cousin never actually played for Austin at age 11 Billy apparently had trials to Tottenham but was told by his coaches that he was too small and not physically strong enough to make it at the professional level despite being told this Billy pursued a career in football playing at Youth Level for Enfield town and semi-professionally for wear from 2004 to 2009. during his time playing football he had performed football freestyling to earn money on the side Billy first saw the potential to turn football freestyling into a business noticing a gap in the market for something that never been seen before although football freestyling was relatively new Billy had been doing it for eight years up to this point and noticed that everyone had already seen freestyling and wondered how he could evolve the art form to set himself apart from everyone else's football freestyling Billy teamed up with his close friend Jeremy to conceptualize the F2 they realized that they would have more success and be more marketable to Brands as a Duo rather than trying to pursue careers as professional footballers the F2 would become the first synchronized football freestyling double act performing choreographed routines like Billy Jeremy had been freestyling for a while working with big Brands and legends of the game and was looking for new ways to evolve his career so the partnership made business sense after establishing the F2 in January 2011 they were invited to perform at the Ballon d'Or Awards in front of the best footballers in the world they took advantage of this notoriety by conceptualizing the idea for a DVD titled learn how to football freestyle vol 1 which was the perfect move for the brand and would establish the early beginnings of what the F2 could be with integration of content creation during the promo for the DVD they had a 10 minute feature at documenting their rise which allowed for fans to get better understanding of their personalities and motivation behind the F2 let the clip come out at the right time YouTube was near there wasn't many videos so I know we're completing all the time now with other people putting on hits but we want to get the few million Mark definitely yeah if we get if we get to 5 million with this we'll be happy really is one of the most business-minded guys I've ever met he's got an eye for a dollar he's definitely got an eye for a dollar despite probably being the most successful football freestyler in the world punctual is not even the word for it there's punctual and then there's get in there four hours before the events start that's Billy all right and On The Other Extreme where I'm more late so we balance each other nicely Billy is undoubtedly very business savvy and a perfectionist in the truest sense of the word he stated early on that he found working alone for many years to become more and more like a job however forming the F2 revitalized his passion and gave him the direction he needed to execute their game plan on the 8th of April 2011 the F2 established their YouTube channel creating skill tutorials and challenges to Showcase their ball skills they had the perfect niche in one of the most popular Topics in the world making it seemingly impossible for it not to explode and build momentum throughout the years they had multiple income streams working with global Brands selling books DVDs began talent agencies and reached an unfavorable amount of people so how did this one strong friendship break down and one of them create a questionable reputation around the brand the Wembley cup was a YouTuber footballing event that paired Youtubers with ex-professional Legends to form different teams the cup took place consecutively for four years between 2015 and 2018. both Billy and Jeremy competed on multiple occasions however in 2018 the Wembley cup became clouded in chaos with the F2 and the epicenter of the beef but in order to understand why this happened we need to go back to march 2018. on the 4th of March 2018 F2 collaborated with EXO a YouTuber Collective that featured true Geordie and Stephen tries the video was a standard YouTube football challenge however throughout the video you can notice that Jeremy gets more and more agitated while filming and the EXO boys are left cringing at the atmosphere towards the end of the video they played a game of Mr and Mrs in which it became obvious that the content wasn't going to be in line with the f2's Brad and they looked annoyed the day before the Wembley Cup on the 24th of November 2018. Stephen posted a video titled the F2 diss track that took the piss out of Jeremy's Halloween video in which he dressed up as the Batman and had a lot hot a poke at the F2 as they were playing in them the Wembley cop the following day look everybody score a scream at The Crowd Goes the day of the Wembley cop rolled around and the F2 won the Wembley cup however controversy occurred after the f2's team lost to EXO in the preliminary rounds complaining that the referee cheated by blowing his whistle early although the squabbling would continue after Jeremy found out about Steven Troy's diss track from the day before Jeremy Lynch comes over with his little mate and oh God and they've got camera crew with them so he comes around and he's going I think my mate's funnier than you I'm like okay in my mind I think you've won the Wembley cup which is what this is all about just celebrate it he was taking photos in hashtags like where all their plays were stood in the middle of them taking photos and they're all [ __ ] off with them yeah and he comes up to me because he's just trying to just get all these points off people right to get you've beat us in the game that's what this all was about this is done yeah you've had the last laugh but then he comes over to me and he's going blah blah blah blah so I just start picking a Jeremy then going to talk about his Halloween video yeah because it's so easy to do yeah and then and then I start I think his other mate goes oh you're making the videos with your gay mates I'll just go what gay mates why are you being homophobic so he freezes up he's realizes he's made a mistake yeah and then he comes out with a he's getting a Lamborghini a few weeks after the podcast was released on the 1st of September 2020 footage the most on Twitter of the encounter between Stephen and Jeremy almost two years after the Wembley Cup first took place subscribers now the video is unbelievably cringe but the video went viral and led to the majority of people come into the conclusion that Jeremy is an absolute knob head on the 4th of September Steven released a video to his channel titled my final thoughts on the Wembley cut in which he stated when you put yourself online you've got to have that humility where you get the piss taken out of you you've got to deal with it better than trying to get your mate to start on someone this whole thing is so unnecessarily dramatic it's unbelievable on the 5th of September CEO and founder of hashtag United and the Wembley cup Spencer FC posted a podcast to his channel discussing the drama surrounding the 2018 Wembley cup in the podcast Spencer documents that the referee did in fact cheat at the Wembley Cup by blown his whistle two minutes early during their loss against EXO because apparently he didn't like the F2 boys this was found out due to the referee emailing Spencer two years after the event deeper in the podcast Spencer alludes that things behind the scenes of the F2 are extremely Rocky and that Jeremy and Billy aren't on the best of terms and haven't been for a long time you can't speak for this firsthand but I've heard all kinds of rumors about what's going on behind the scenes of those two like I think they've sold Rascal I believe they've wrapped up some of their other businesses as well you know they're at one point the F2 had like four if I had an agency they had the F2 Academy which is like an education thing they had Rascal they had a a another agency was about young guys there's rumors that they've got rid of a lot of those businesses and some of the reason that he's rumored to be behind that is because they are not on good terms I don't even know if they're mates I think they've for a number of years and I've seen this firsthand then working together has been a a necessary evil should we say I don't know if I'd be that surprised I wouldn't be surprised subsequently after this more and more people within the industry began to speak about their experiences working with Jeremy one online commenter stated I've always liked Billy he gets lumped into all of this but he seems like a decent guy having to work with a walking ego today they still upload to the F2 Channel however they no longer appear in videos together Billy runs his family channel and recently managed sidemen FC in the YouTube All-Star charity game meanwhile Jeremy has an insanely successful Tick Tock and YouTube account where he mainly makes shorts aimed towards kids it seems then that anyone who's worked with or fans of the F2 have divided opinions on Jeremy and for the most part feel sorry for Billy for having to sit through Jeremy's self-absorbed narcissism and if you can tell that I have a biased opinion it's because I do Jeremy represents exactly the type of person I don't like in this industry influencer lifestyle with a deep lack of self-awareness and an ego the size of my penis thank you so much for watching this video and your support recently
