@@LADYRAEUK many of the Ultras are criminals, that's why 😂 Especially the ultras of historical clubs in Europe and South America. Their activities contains hooliganism to sometimes terrorism (because of their political beliefs)
Right.....because official itz Not allowed to bring the Pyro into the Stadium....they get a Life Bann for the Stadium when they get caught. But we Always do it anyway. And there is always a Battle after the game between the Fans(those WHO wonna participate)....ultra fractions. Itz called 3rd Halftime. For real.....this is high energetic and thrilling!! Fotoball for Life!!!!
This was a collection of many different Countries and cultures , some just fans and others more sinister .The term Ultra started in Italy , in This Country the term was hooligans . Eventually it led to grounds being made all seated and extra powers to Police . Loyalties to Football clubs and the rivalries go back years , sometimes politics or other issues can be involved and it creates opportunities for thugs and things can go over the top . Very difficult to explain to someone not brought up in the culture .
Italian Ultras also follow their clubs political leanings. Some Italian clubs are Fascist. Some are more Socialist. Italy changing sides during WW2 largely meant, that the pre war, Fascism and Marxism / Communism was never really sorted out, like what was done in Germany.
@@stevenjones3167 The reason many clubs were against all seater stadiums, was money. To be precise. Fiddling the Tax Man. And when the Gate had to be split 50/50, before 1983, between the 2 clubs playing, announcing a smaller attendance, meant you could give the away team less money. ** With all seater, you can often count the empty seats. *** It was the Sky TV money that changed English (FA Premier League) Football, mostly for the better. Though that atmosphere, was better, with standing, and singing.
Grounds are safer now but the atmosphere is much more tame compared to the terraces . You could turn up at different times and still stand wherever you wanted with mates and big games you would often end up yards away from where you started as the crowds moved .
'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you it is much more serious than that.' Bill Shankly, manager of Liverpool FC 1959 - 1974
11:20 - In fact these are not most extreme moments. These are rather fun & joy moments. Most extreme are hooligans fights moments and this can be really, really bad. e.g. in my country (Poland) a lots of these fans-hooligans has been killed in fights.
Keep in mind these displays are often entirely paid for and organised by the fans rather than the club. Their involvement is mainly letting them come in to set up big banners buts that's about jt
It's very hard to tell what exactly ultras are because there is so many of different groups of different clubs in different cities and in different countries. But the basic is that they are hard core fans of a club, usually football/soccer club but there are ultras in other sports also. Ultras besides their club affiliation usually have some sort of ideology and/or social background, so many or most groups have their ideological/political viewpoints, some have very strong religious component, some have social component to them, so some clubs/ultras represent working class, some are more "posh", some represent some ethnic group or religious community, some are far left, antifa, anarchists some are far right, some are even Nazi and all of that adds in to the very strong club bond....
To keep it simple you have fans off their club who loves them and watch the games. By ultra's the club is in there veins. They live for the club, follow them everywhere in Europe, breath the club and die for it. That are ultra's. 💙🖤
it's not necessarily a justification, but you have to understand that here in Europe, cheering is not like where you go to the right stadium to spend a quiet day like going to the circus, with mum, dad, aunt, grandmother, the cap with hands clapping and eating hot dog wagons. for us it is an extremely serious, heartfelt and identifying thing. he doesn't just watch a show, if you lose who cares and then all arm in arm. to say where is better or worse is subjective. but the reality is this.
I AM FROM NORTHERN GREECE BUT AN AEK FAN ATHENS IS IN THE SOUTH BUT WHEN YOU COME TO GREECE GO TO THE AEK STADIUM YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THIS DAY IN YOUR LIFE AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU I PROMISE YOU THAT !!!!!!
Pyrotechnic flares (smoke or airbourne) are banned in England and Wales apart from the intended use as distress signals at sea or for alerting or location purposes for mountain rescue. As is the taking of sharp or pointed objects into grounds including some musical instruments. The old wooden rotating rattle was banned years ago.
Another great video about european football passion. I think you took an overall good conclusion to this video. Its realy just both. mindblowing amazing and scary at the same time. Because when you visit a football game all these scenes (neutrals, supporters, fans, ultras and hooligans) are mixed up in 20k to 100k of people so just sometimes there can be some explosive mixtures🙃 but as you said this videos just shows some of the most extreme scenes especially when it comes to violence. That just happens in about 1 or 2 % of the games over the year.
Hello Mrs Amanda. (Excuse my english). I'm supporter of the italian football/soccer (as you American says, we says 'calcio') team Napoli. In our case, we not have only ultras clubs, but the WHOLE CITY is ULTRA (men, women, childs, animals 😄), as you can see from many current videos about our winning our 3th national tournement this year. Best regards (P.S. 'Ultra' is ancient latin language, that can translated as 'extreme'. 'far beyond the norm', 'fanatical')
One team one passion one club, always hate your nearest rivals, no matter how big or small the clubs. Very rare deep rooted rivalries go by without any violence
Im a bit late but me and my friends are ultras from denmark brondby and why they bluring their faces is for their safety so they wont get beated up by their most hated club and a game between fc copenhagen and brondby is called derby and thats stands for that the two biggest clubs in every country gonna play against each other and sometimes is really ugly
"Ultras" is just a more fancy name for Hooligans. The reason why they all either wear a face mask or have their face blurred is precisely because they are criminals or associated with criminal activities, Hooliganism. But don't get me wrong, not all that was shown there are "Ultras", many were just normal organised club fans, but unfortunately the hooligans mix into them, and try to romanticise the "ultras" as if it was something other than hooliganism. It isn't, ultras are hooligans, organised and legal fans aren't to be confused with ultras.
You sort of mixed things in your head. 1st and foremost not every ultras or hooligan is a criminal. Every criminal is a criminal, organised crime has way higher sentences than a criminal act committed on your own, meaning you can’t name any of the two groups criminal otherwise you wouldn’t see the phenomena exist. Now you could argue every Hooligan is an Ultra but not every Ultras is a Hool aka going beyond normal fans is an Ultras but above Ultras is a Hool who would also engage in fighting. (Not that Ultras don’t fight, especially protecting/attacking their/respective opponents firms’ banner ) sorry if a sort of wordsalad came out. Ps: choreographies are mostly done by Ultras, organised fifhts by Hools (when two agree to fight there again is no crime as far as I know) Hope it clarified something.
@@SashaBaron112 Like I wrote: "But don't get me wrong, not all that was shown there are "Ultras", many were just normal organised club fans" With that said: no mate, all ultras are hooligans. Throughout Europe most Ultras groups are being prohibited, most Club Fans groups who allow them are being disavowed by the clubs, and most members placed in no entry list. *There's a reason why everyone who spoke in this video had their face blurred or were using a face mask,* and some even had their voice chanced (i.e. the Portuguese one from SLB... ironically the other Portuguese one, from FCP, Fernando Maduraira AKA "Macaco", has several convictions due to racism, violence, etc., and is one of the few who decided not to be incognito... not that would matter, if FCP is mentioned in the context of Ultras he's in it so...).
Look at the roots of football full Stop. This is really where the rivalry comes from. Many clubs were associations of working me from trades or common interests, including churches eg Aston Villa Look at the sectarian rivalry in Glasgow too. The 1980s was a scary place to Be at stadiums for the casual supporter at an away game. Europe has extended this and the video shows a glimpse of what is out there. Spectacular and dangerous too. If you want to know more from a British perspective watch the Green Street film.
We, English teams , got banned from European football for 5yrs back in the 80s for this type of thing. The Heysel stadium incident was the final straw where 39 people died .
Hi Amanda, great British understatement - "That was a teeny bit scary." I think if King Kong and Godzilla had match tickets they'd ring in sick and try to get a refund.
not religion, fanatism.. you like the passion .. come on.. these are not at all the most extrem.. these are criminals.. ultra means beyond (the limits) when you're a foot fan you go with family and friends and foot lovers, do you really imagine enjoyin this with kids around !!!!
Trdiotion. Proud. Rivalry. I mean many villages, towns, citys, regions and countrys in europe have a old history, tradition. It's about showing where u came from stand ur ground for your hometown
Many 'Ultras', especially in eastern Europe and Russia are basing themselves on the 80's english football fans (firms,casuals etc), and it's worrying. This was not a good time for English football, the england teams being banned outright for 5 years for playing in Europe after Heysel. I'm passionate about football, but I think there maybe a darker side to the 'Ultras'
It's scary yes, but the point of this video is what is football, and what it means to people... It's madness.. fun fact, someone once said if Messi played in heaven I would die yust to see him💜
Tip: the word Ultra (Ultras is a group of Ultra) is a latin word that means litterally "andare oltre" --> "going far over" OR "al di fuori" --> "outside of standars" (i think is the more precise translation)
First os all ultras and hooligan is not the same. The ultras support paissoinly the team (loud, fire, coreo). The holligans are looking for the enemy's ultras and fight each other (this is ustawka) but not in the stadium, somewhere out of the stadium or city. The second things what it's difficult to understand from USA why wo team's fans hate each other so much. This is many times not just about championship or cup who won more. Many case there is historical reason. For example in Hungary (I can speak the hungarian samples becuse I know that deeply) there are two big clubs, Ferencváros, and Újpest (both are in Budapest). Újpest was team of the police in the communist system. The police doesn't work similar in a communist system like in democracy. Everybody hated police because the terrorized the people. Furthermore the communist goverment wanted terminate Ferencváros because Ferencváros was the biggest club with the bigest fan base, because they were afriad the people, but they couldn't. Therefore hate each other the two clubs' supporter. Secondary how many championship they won. By the way Ferenváros 34, Újpest 20.
I am 68 and it is too late now but if I ever had enough money to afford a beautiful home to have a break from my London life,then it would be to have a home in Vancouver Island or California in The USA and I visited both in my 7 week summer holiday in 1979 and I still, vividly,recall that vacation:)
Hi Amanda ive never heard of the ultras looking at this video they look very dangerous and they seem to make a lot of trouble i have never been to a football match and after seeing this i don't think I ever will
Visiting a football match is not dangerous. But there is just 1 thing you shouldn´t do which then causes troubles at least and causes harm at worst if you do... and which would be a very stupid thing to do in general anyway. "Don´t place yourself in the opponent´s sector especially when wearing the colours of the home team" (which is the sector located either directly behind the goal or in one of the curves aside = !!!is the fanatics´sector/Ultra´s sector!!! ) ... So when you place yourself somewhere at the long sides of the stadium everything will be fine and a fun match experience...if you didn´t know the sectors in a football stadium are seperated from each other so you simply can´t go from one sector to an other..besides of obvious safety reasons it is also because the ticket prices are variable depending where (in which particular sector) in the Stadium your seat is then located, therefore to avoid that you buy a cheap ticket and then place yourself in one of the more expensive seats. By the way I´m speaking of the top tier leagues of a country ..the leagues below are usually a bit different in that behalf = foremost less safety measures + smaller stadiums although even that actually depends on the particular Football Club.
It's a hooligan they are part of a firm and travel to every game and have fights with other firms it still happens its just more organised now so it's not all over the news anymore
Now you've got a bit more understanding of what football is to people outside of America and hopefully can understand a bit more regarding my comments about your Mr "Fight and Win". The bloke would literally get ripped apart doing something so pathetic at a game outside of the US. Even the non ultras would verbally slaughter him. The reason why they wear the face coverings is so they cannot be identified by the police or picked up by cameras at the game because at some point they will be involved in violence although that doesn't really happen in England, to be honest there's not really an Ultras element in the UK despite there being fighting at some games, also in the UK the fans won't hide their faces whether they're fighting or not.
I know personally a besiktas Istanbul carsi ultras leader who killed 6 other club fans and he went to jail for self defense and after 15 years he is again in charge
@@carlsmalandson1348 we do not own the club with money, but with passion. Presidents and players could change anytime, the people of Florence still remain forever part of the club, as the club belongs to the people.
Most of them are criminals banned to enter a stadium,murderers, when some teams play against each other parents are afraid and won’t take their kids to see the game…they are even the threat of the football team. I’m for the passion but not for violence! Lock them up
They faces are covered because the police want them and they don’t want to be arrested especially in country’s like in south , south east Europe where it’s quite common that they injured or even kill people from others firms or even the police forces
@@LADYRAEUK I have a request. I think many would love to see “Mr Amanda” 😉😂 on your channel. It could be quite a hoot to see you both enjoying some brilliant British Comedy. Keep the shoes coming!!
Not all, there the exception not the rule... especially in the uk....I wouldn't advice going to a Millwall game for example if you don't want to see a element of violence.
@@solalexander674 they aren’t violent either [unless they’ll promote and play against West Ham, or West Ham relegate (sadly possible this season but hopefully not)]
They are the biggest fans, going to every away gang, make all the noise in the stadiums and making the tifos and pyros. If you have no ultras in a stadium the atmosphere is dead. Then you have only people who sitting on their chair with their scarf and clapping for a goal
some might be die hard fans but alot of them are just violent ppl yet in the day to day actually really nice til matchday then psychos ,fists hammers knives anything goes for some of these ppl and i'm friends with some of these ppl ,don't agree with it personally
Hey amanda. Some ultra fans are political rather left or right but whatever an ultras fans believe in they'll be rivals with the other side to what they believe in. If there local or in the same city that is. For example celtic and rangers not only it's a Glasgow derby but both have ultras celtic are left wing ultras rangers are right wing ultras. Same with lazio and roma lazio right wing roma left wing
You should visit one day so your fears will go away. I would have plenty of recommendations but go to Italy for the best experience, to a derby preferably Capital, Milano or Liguria.
Watching such videos I realize that Europe has not become peaceful at all, it has simply limited its militancy to stadiums... for the benefit of the whole world.
The firm with Gary Oldman is good,old casuals film,when i was 16 the dundee utility who were both dundee fc qnd dundee utd casuals,they would fight with the hibs and aberdeen,most other teams didn't have big firms so you wouldn't fight with them
Firms started here, but mainly the Eastern side of Europe have Ultras. Both have passion, but clubs here started banning anyone causing big trouble. Both have the criminal side to it, not just the fighting. A kinda funny movie to watch is Green Street, this is mainly because there is a clueless American in it.😉 It is more of a drama with comedy, but has some violence in it. So it is kind of a win, win for anyone watching it.
@@MrSinclairn You do know actors play a character when doing a film? And his character was the clueless American, not the real deal. Are you a fecking numpty?
Ultra groups are armies, Ultras are soldiers, Teams are the Motherland.
"Our" stadium is a Castle, "others" have fortress and the Ultras pubs are parliaments.
They have even own flags and anthems, which parallel is quite self-explanatory.
It's just can't work in USA due to the huge distances between cities. But the South American stadiums are pretty similar to european; some of them even crazier.

"Ultras" is just a more fancy name for Hooligans. The reason why they all either wear a face mask or have their face blurred is precisely because they are criminals or associated with criminal activities, Hooliganism. But don't get me wrong, not all that was shown there are "Ultras", many were just normal organised club fans, but unfortunately the hooligans mix into them, and try to romanticise the "ultras" as if it was something other than hooliganism. It isn't, ultras are hooligans, organised and legal fans aren't to be confused with ultras.
You sort of mixed things in your head.
1st and foremost not every ultras or hooligan is a criminal. Every criminal is a criminal, organised crime has way higher sentences than a criminal act committed on your own, meaning you can’t name any of the two groups criminal otherwise you wouldn’t see the phenomena exist.
Now you could argue every Hooligan is an Ultra but not every Ultras is a Hool aka going beyond normal fans is an Ultras but above Ultras is a Hool who would also engage in fighting. (Not that Ultras don’t fight, especially protecting/attacking their/respective opponents firms’ banner ) sorry if a sort of wordsalad came out.
Ps: choreographies are mostly done by Ultras, organised fifhts by Hools (when two agree to fight there again is no crime as far as I know)
Hope it clarified something.
@@SashaBaron112 Like I wrote: "But don't get me wrong, not all that was shown there are "Ultras", many were just normal organised club fans"

Stop. This is really where the rivalry comes from. Many clubs were associations of working me from trades or common interests, including churches eg Aston Villa

Be at stadiums for the casual supporter at an away game.

"al di fuori" --> "outside of standars" (i think is the more precise translation)
First os all ultras and hooligan is not the same. The ultras support paissoinly the team (loud, fire, coreo). The holligans are looking for the enemy's ultras and fight each other (this is ustawka) but not in the stadium, somewhere out of the stadium or city. The second things what it's difficult to understand from USA why wo team's fans hate each other so much. This is many times not just about championship or cup who won more. Many case there is historical reason. For example in Hungary (I can speak the hungarian samples becuse I know that deeply) there are two big clubs, Ferencváros, and Újpest (both are in Budapest). Újpest was team of the police in the communist system. The police doesn't work similar in a communist system like in democracy. Everybody hated police because the terrorized the people. Furthermore the communist goverment wanted terminate Ferencváros because Ferencváros was the biggest club with the bigest fan base, because they were afriad the people, but they couldn't. Therefore hate each other the two clubs' supporter. Secondary how many championship they won. By the way Ferenváros 34, Újpest 20.
Wow, thanks, Amanda. Too much work for me-I'll just drink beer and watch stuff on my TV,er Telly.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I am 68 and it is too late now but if I ever had enough money to afford a beautiful home to have a break from my London life,then it would be to have a home in Vancouver Island or California in The USA and I visited both in my 7 week summer holiday in 1979 and I still, vividly,recall that vacation:)
I guess they don’t drink BUD LIGHT anymore 😂
More for the rest of us lol
Nobody outside America drinks Bud Light. Not sure they even sell that absolute piss outside the US.
@@paulsmith2516 to be honest I do prefer a Guinness, ale or bitter , but if I can get it in England I'll buy to piss of the trigger happy rednecks 🤣
@@paulsmith2516 Piss at least have flavor🤣
Hi Amanda ive never heard of the ultras looking at this video they look very dangerous and they seem to make a lot of trouble i have never been to a football match and after seeing this i don't think I ever will
I thought it was scary in bits as well… no thanks haha
depends on the match tbh, it only happens in derby matches when both teams playing are rivals
Visiting a football match is not dangerous.
But there is just 1 thing you shouldn´t do which then causes troubles at least and causes harm at worst if you do... and which would be a very stupid thing to do in general anyway.
"Don´t place yourself in the opponent´s sector especially when wearing the colours of the home team" (which is the sector located either directly behind the goal or in one of the curves aside = !!!is the fanatics´sector/Ultra´s sector!!! ) ...
So when you place yourself somewhere at the long sides of the stadium everything will be fine and a fun match experience...if you didn´t know the sectors in a football stadium are seperated from each other so you simply can´t go from one sector to an other..besides of obvious safety reasons it is also because the ticket prices are variable depending where (in which particular sector) in the Stadium your seat is then located, therefore to avoid that you buy a cheap ticket and then place yourself in one of the more expensive seats.
By the way I´m speaking of the top tier leagues of a country ..the leagues below are usually a bit different in that behalf = foremost less safety measures + smaller stadiums
although even that actually depends on the particular Football Club.
SPARTA PRAGUE 💙💛❤️🇨🇿
Hi from Prague.
It's a hooligan they are part of a firm and travel to every game and have fights with other firms it still happens its just more organised now so it's not all over the news anymore
You are right in your terminology though, they're known as firms or crews
Ah okay 👍🏻👍🏻
Every week in Ultras World you must see
Ich grüße aus NRW, Deutschland✌
Its a lifestyle. Been there done that. Was a good time.🎉❤
Now you've got a bit more understanding of what football is to people outside of America and hopefully can understand a bit more regarding my comments about your Mr "Fight and Win". The bloke would literally get ripped apart doing something so pathetic at a game outside of the US. Even the non ultras would verbally slaughter him.
The reason why they wear the face coverings is so they cannot be identified by the police or picked up by cameras at the game because at some point they will be involved in violence although that doesn't really happen in England, to be honest there's not really an Ultras element in the UK despite there being fighting at some games, also in the UK the fans won't hide their faces whether they're fighting or not.
I know personally a besiktas Istanbul carsi ultras leader who killed 6 other club fans and he went to jail for self defense and after 15 years he is again in charge
Football isn't a Religion.
Football isn't War.

Its much more serious than that.
For really sad people, it is.
Stadiums Burnt Down, Fights, Riots, Brawls & Deaths...
we are defending our city like our country, even more intensively than a country
greetings from Florence 19FI26
Do you own your club? Aren't most of Italian clubs owned by a rich outsider?
@@carlsmalandson1348 we do not own the club with money, but with passion. Presidents and players could change anytime, the people of Florence still remain forever part of the club, as the club belongs to the people.
There you have the remains of European fascism, the aesthetics and the atmosphere in the soccer fields.
Most of them are criminals banned to enter a stadium,murderers, when some teams play against each other parents are afraid and won’t take their kids to see the game…they are even the threat of the football team. I’m for the passion but not for violence! Lock them up
Hey amanda you are fit. Love your show carry on girl respect.
I'm just curious Amanda have u ever supported a British football team and gone to a game?
They faces are covered because the police want them and they don’t want to be arrested especially in country’s like in south , south east Europe where it’s quite common that they injured or even kill people from others firms or even the police forces
Its from father to son. Its a way of living.
Amanda if you would like to see the most insane derby AIK vs Hammarby in Stockholm Sweden, we will send you tickets and pay for your trip.
The video excluded most of the intermediate level violence
In Europe, when it comes to riots and football, we are complete and utter maniacs.
Interesting presentation. There are all kinds of “fans” 🤷🏻♂️
Yep lol
@@LADYRAEUK I have a request. I think many would love to see “Mr Amanda” 😉😂 on your channel. It could be quite a hoot to see you both enjoying some brilliant British Comedy. Keep the shoes coming!!

Why Ultras Are So Important For Football
Oh by the way amanda you look more bad ass than these punks, keep up the amazing job you do.😊❤
Why are the faces covered? No face, no case
Wow Amazing Amanda 🔥
Beautiful ❤❤❤
To me, they are the biggest troublemakers, never mind the biggest fans.
Ah fair enough 👍🏻
Not all, there the exception not the rule... especially in the uk....I wouldn't advice going to a Millwall game for example if you don't want to see a element of violence.
@@solalexander674 they aren’t violent either [unless they’ll promote and play against West Ham, or West Ham relegate (sadly possible this season but hopefully not)]
They are the biggest fans, going to every away gang, make all the noise in the stadiums and making the tifos and pyros. If you have no ultras in a stadium the atmosphere is dead. Then you have only people who sitting on their chair with their scarf and clapping for a goal
And you obviously have no clue what you are talking about..🤦
I'm guessing that's not the first time football fans have left her gaping 😂
The oldest Ultras and football fans in Europe is from Croatia Hajduk Split fans
Sound????
some might be die hard fans but alot of them are just violent ppl yet in the day to day actually really nice til matchday then psychos ,fists hammers knives anything goes for some of these ppl and i'm friends with some of these ppl ,don't agree with it personally
It’s a bit scary
AVANTI ULTRAS! FORZA RAPID! 🟢⚪️
They don't want to get arrested and banned from stadium
They are blurred out so they can't be identified....but you knew that.
I feel sad for fans who don't have membership owned clubs. Rip English football
😊
I don't want to be that guy, but it is safer to go next to ultras in Europe than go to school in US :(
Good one amanda ..there are some lunatics about .s9ome say the violence at football actually started here in the 70s .and the rest followed ...😘😘
I can see that ahah
Hey amanda. Some ultra fans are political rather left or right but whatever an ultras fans believe in they'll be rivals with the other side to what they believe in. If there local or in the same city that is. For example celtic and rangers not only it's a Glasgow derby but both have ultras celtic are left wing ultras rangers are right wing ultras. Same with lazio and roma lazio right wing roma left wing
You should visit one day so your fears will go away. I would have plenty of recommendations but go to Italy for the best experience, to a derby preferably Capital, Milano or Liguria.
Watching such videos I realize that Europe has not become peaceful at all, it has simply limited its militancy to stadiums... for the benefit of the whole world.
The firm with Gary Oldman is good,old casuals film,when i was 16 the dundee utility who were both dundee fc qnd dundee utd casuals,they would fight with the hibs and aberdeen,most other teams didn't have big firms so you wouldn't fight with them
linda, la N° 12 , la mejor.
It is Super!!!
Firms started here, but mainly the Eastern side of Europe have Ultras. Both have passion, but clubs here started banning anyone causing big trouble. Both have the criminal side to it, not just the fighting. A kinda funny movie to watch is Green Street, this is mainly because there is a clueless American in it.😉 It is more of a drama with comedy, but has some violence in it. So it is kind of a win, win for anyone watching it.
The clueless American being tiny Elijah Wood(just after he done the LOTR trilogy),hardly the most intimidating 'football fan' to start with ! 🙄
@@MrSinclairn You do know actors play a character when doing a film? And his character was the clueless American, not the real deal. Are you a fecking numpty?
Sometimes the faces are covered not to be recognized by cameras or policemen.
