I think the difference is, in the US its purely entertainment, like going to a show. But, in Europe its part of the culture. It's built into you from birth here. In my opinion that's where the difference in passion comes from
Exactly, given that football (soccer) is way down the list of preferred sports. Maybe it would be best to compare fans from number 1 sport with fans from number 1 sport to get a more balanced comparison.
@@tonyrodd6348 Exactly that! Pretty sure the MLS was found in 1993 or somewhere near? So it's still a baby!
Europa (moon of Jupiter), not Europe. At least according to video.
@@UltraCasualPenguin I'm simply referring to the title of the video where it is 'Europe'. I am also English so to me, it's 'Europe'.
@@UltraCasualPenguin in Germany it is „Europa“
In the USA Vs England football match, US did the 'i believe that we will win' chant. And England's response was ' What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fucking hell was that? Whaaat the fucking hell was that?'.
And the chant was never heard again,
It was the best thing about the whole match.
I need to add a comment about swaying stadiums, the modern ones are actually designed to sway a bit and it is safer that way, it’s adding some “give”.
So it swaying alone is not an indication of danger BUT if it was a badly built stadium it would also sway for the wrong reasons so I guess you’d never know 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol, i wonder how the americans reacted XD
@@jamiehammell1 they wouldn't know that they should have..... They don't quite get it bro. Trust me..... They are just different from other humans. They just don't quite get it lol
Its true I heard that on the tv then they muted the microphone next to that crowd cos of the swearing 😭😭😭😭
🤭🤭
"Is that an English flag?"
I can literally feel every Italian Milan fan dying a little bit inside by listening to this question 😅🤣🤣🤣
It is indeed the flag of St george as AC Milan was founded by an englishman. I think possibly a cricket club if memory serves me correct
@@Fabrizio_Romano69 true, it's the flag of saint george but not because ac milan was founded by an englishman. The cross of San Giorgio has been the symbol of the city of Milan since around 1200 (Milan was a Guelph city and the cross was the natural symbol to identify belonging to that political alignment). 😃
Fc Barcelona as well 🤣
🤣
True but we hear something similar in Denmark with the Savoyard one.
I died at "You uncreative, frost-haired FERRETS!"
You're definitely getting British insult formation down 😂🤣
I’m learning lol.
My thoughts exactly!
@@KingBoomer your swearing has come along in leaps and bounds. Impressive. You are ACTUALLY getting how to insult someone properly. Ah progress.
I saw shades of a scene from Hook movie in there
A great insult is "you fucking bungalow" (got nothing upstairs)
In the USA-England Game, the US fans did the 'believe we will win' bollocks, the English responded with "What the f**k, what the f**k, what the f**king hell was that?"
This is to funny
And ... neither team scored.
I think Senegal will beat England no problem - probably 3-1
USA v Holland will go to penalties - Holland haven't exactly set the tournament alight, and USA have demonstrated gritty resolve.
@@jazzx251 Didn’t ask.
@@jazzx251 stop it. Lol
@@jazzx251 They did not win though, BTW I do not see Senegal beating England they have the best stats in the world cup right now and the US were very lucky to play England on their bad day. I would say USA v Holland is a Holland win because the USA cannot score and gritty means nothing at this level.
That stadium that is shaking is built specifically to shake like that, so it doesn't collapse, much like shock absorbers/suspension on a car.
Yep, that’s why airplane wings bend so much in turbulence. Otherwise the wings would snap if rigid!
WOW!
came here to say the same... also... if a crowd, of EU football fans, came to USA, and filled up a stadium, it would collapse, before half time...
Yep. That's my home stadium of FC Nuremberg (Germany). And yes, it's equipped with shock absorbers so everything is fine.
Yeah it maybe was Nürnberg Stadium an I like the "Glubb".
But supporting was SGD. Eintracht Frankfurt. Real Support is still alive in Germany and not only in the firth Devision. Down to the 4th or 5th Devision you can feel Passion too.
Nothing beats "You think you're special, we lose every week".
One of my favorite chant is sang by Hellas Verona fans.
AC Milan fans sing "Veronese you are a son of a bitch, piece of shit you are, you are Yellow and Blue".
Verona fans replied singing "Veronesi we are sons of a bitch, pieces of shit we are... We are just like you"
Verona fans sing another funny chant, Io credo risorgerò (I believe I will rise again), that is a church song usually sang during funerals.
If the stadium don't shake, with that much people jumping, you should be worried, because it will probably collapse. The enginners made it in sections not just for thermal expansion, but to disperse this massive load in ressonance. I'm brazilian, so I've been in match games since I was a little boy and it always shakes like that. When you are in the corridors below the stands, you can actually see all the structure shaking.
This is one of the most hilarious reaction videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. I feel what the guy feels though, totally understand his frustration 😆
The reason why the atmosphere in the stadium in Europe and South American countries looks so terrifying because its aim to make it intimidating for opposition fans and other teams
Because we dont see sports as a nice time to spend the sunday... its war, people can get hurt. Its a tribal thing. This is why there are less "soccer moms" in here. Fathers are the ones who scream they will kill somebody when their kids plays :-D
Or even their own team, if required, which makes it even more fun.
Europa (moon of Jupiter), not Europe. According to video.
@@UltraCasualPenguin depends of the language. In Croatian Europa is the name of the continent and the Jupiter's moon.
In most cases especially on the Balkans we like to chant aggresive stuff at the opponent because we like to fight each other outside the stadiums and have real passion for competing most of us don't even watch the game.
Specifically on the Balkans our fathers in the 80s used to be like the Americans, but since democracy in the 90s we just started enjoying the beat downs between our rical gangs. Couldn't fight during socialist times as we were going to get locked up, but now we arrange ultras fights very often before or after the games and on the stadium we just get our mood prepared for fighting. Recently not many go to the stadiums though. The game got boring with so many media coverage and on the Balkans many now focus on sports betting and don't care to go to the stadiums anymore.
Funniest reaction so far, KB! Your face when the US fans were singing "I believe that we will win" was hilarious, but the Seattle guy appearing and you immediately hitting pause was comedy gold. What a bunch of muppets!
I almost pissed myself when the seattle guy poped
I think for me personally the reason why European and South American supporters are more vocal and passionate is because a lot of their clubs have been around for a hundred+ years. Something being around for the long makes it synonymous with the city, its culture and history. For most of Europe and South America their football team is a reflection of the fan base
I sometimes find it funny that Frankfurt has an entire tram line dedicated to football games, going from the central station to the stadium anytime there is a game. Imagine a football team being part of the city's culture so much, they even design public transport around it
Someone else finally hitting the nail on the head!!! Some of our teams are going back as long as America has been 😂😂
It's not the case for American cities ? I thought they all have old clubs, just like Europe or South America
That's not true. You should see/hear the Moroccan ultras of Wydad Casablanca, and their club was only founded in 1937.
As a brazilian, now I know why I've studied english. It was all for THIS moment. This video. Thank you very much! 😆🥰
Check this one out: th-cam.com/video/gjuWGXxqHn8/w-d-xo.html
Haha!
Hello from Germany, thanks for the great video. I don't know if you saw the NFL game of Tampa Bay in Munich/Germany, but there the differences between German/European and American fans became very clear. The whole game was very loud, people were having a good time.
The stadium in Frankfurt, where the stands move, is built that way on purpose. By the way, this is the second stadium where an NFL game will also be played in the future.
Here is another list of European clubs in the video:
11:43 Borussia Dortmund (Germany), 12:50 1. FC Köln (Germany), 13:54 Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), 14:58 Northern Ireland National Team, 15:57 AC Milan (Italy), 16:53 France National Team, 17:26 Iceland National Team, 17:48 Aris Thessaloniki F. C. (Greece), 18:11 Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), 19:28 Ajax Amsterdam (Netherlands), 20:09 Malmö FF (Sweden), 20:44 Paris Saint-Germain (France), 22:00 Romania National Team
In Germany/Europe, fans often use very well-known songs and simply rewrite their lyrics.
Examples:
11:43 Borussia Dortmund
original song: Die Ärzte - Männer sind Schweine (men are pigs)
new version: Abstiegskampf oder Pokale (relegation battle or trophies)
13:54 Eintracht Frankfurt
original Song: Pippi Langstrumpf (Pippi Longstocking - swedish childrens novel)
new version: Hey Eintracht Frankfurt
Das ist das Nürnberg Stadion, die Frankfurter sind im Gästeblock
hello from Sweden :), and yes Pippi långstrump is swedish. Germany ❤Sweden
@@fortnitetrashcan8308 true , we do. and we loved astrid lindgren and we still do =)
@@RotPest Fun fact about German-Swedish football fan culture, in the world cup 1958 (hosted in Sweden) Sweden knocked out Germany in the Semis and DFB complained to FIFA that the Swedish fans were so loud that it was unfair to the german team. It's the reason why Dortmund sing Heja BVB. Admittedly, this was a time before fan culture so the Swedish fans weren't singing just saying Heja heja heja! It's known as "The battle of Gothenburg"
At the USA vs England match the American fans were chanting about the sport being called "soccer" in order to annoy the English fans. In response some England fans proceeded to throw paper airplanes at the Americans whilst shouting "9 11". Not sure if you would say those 2 chants are on the same level but they were asking for it 😂😂
It's a little ironic that the term 'soccer' originated in the UK. Indeed when I was a wee lad in the 70's the word was used fairly frequently, and 'football' and 'soccer' were pretty much interchangeable. I don't know why people got the hump about it sometime between then and now.
@@robertstanley5555 Guessing you are middle class. The term Soccer was used by middle class Rugby fans who called the game of Rugby, football and the game of football, soccer. This is because Rugby's real name is Rugby football, so to show it as different they used the term soccer. When they said football, they meant Rugby and Football, they called soccer. As I said you are middle class if you used it. Football is a working man's game or at least started that way and Rugby Union was private school middle class bellends who played it. The only other people who used the term soccer was the Irish due to Gaelic football and Rugby. No-one and I mean no-one who was a working class football fan in Scotland (where I am from) or England ever used the term soccer
@@overthewebby family were die hard liverpudlians and always referred to it as soccer when I was growing up (and they defo weren't middle class and they didn't watch rugby)
@@valcarlin2537 Stop lying and talking shite. No working class Liverpudlian worth their salt calls it soccer
This is based on decades of history. Most of these teams were formed in the late 19th/ early 20th century. You can’t get the level of feralness and passion with teams created in the last decade. And in international terms, Europe has so many top teams that are all close neighbours that it leads to real (sporting and occasionally actual) aggression and antipathy. The Netherlands vs Germany or France vs Italy or Portugal vs Spain have an edge that any of those teams playing Brazil or Argentina just doesn’t have for the fans.
Or Rangers Vs Celtic the two Belgrade teams and River plate Vs Boca Juniors where violence and deaths have occurred, so no need to go as far as country vs country but in the same cities.
Brazil vs Argentina used to be a team deathmatch in the pitch back in the day, but that was only in pitch as fans had a more chill time in matches against national teams.
But tournaments like Libertadores was a hell on earth when any big brazilian team faced Boca Juniors or River Plate. Even worse when had to play in La Bombonera, the opposite team play against the crowd it was terrifying, and of course, fights everywhere in and out the stadium.
I don't know how it is nowadays as i stopped with football long ago, just watching WC now, but the atmosfere was like a warzone.
@RighAlban I reckon u have just named the 3 biggest rivalries in football on planet earth friend 👍🏻
@@mcdeezrfc Rangers is my team, I also like Red star and River plate, if I'm going to watch, be as well watching ones that mean the most.
Are you out of your mind! South American football games are insane. The rivalry is out of this world. The World Cup started in South America. And going to copa America games feel like going to war.
I've seen just 8 minutes of this video and i can say this is one of the best reactions i've ever seen about football fans. Absolutely great! I'm in tears because of laughing!
I'm not sure about the US but in Europe every modern stadium is built to flex because the pummeling they receive from the fans is putting them through earthquake level stresses for hours on end on a daily basis. Fortunately it's 99% pure up-and-down force, which is a lot easier to build for than the random lateral movement of a quake.
You'll find it's almost always the older rigid stadiums that give out under these forces. Either that or someone cheaped out on materials during construction.
its the exact opposite as you think.
you WANNA go to a stadium that shakes, they have shock absorbers they are safe.
if u are in one of the super old ones that doesnt have it they are way easier to collaps then the shaky ones xD
Thank you for appreciating the French spirit, I'm from Dunkirk in France, I like your work, it's true that football brings the French together. When we won the World Cup in 1998 and 2018, the blue white red smoke was visible from space and you could even hear the horns there haha, the Champs Elysées was completely crazy. Memories...
When we won the world cup we spent 2 hours to cross Paris to go on the champs Elysees and it was crazy people were sitting on the windows of the cars on the roofs of cars we all had our klaxons broken 😂😂😂 ....
I remember to see on TV in 2018 when the bus of the french team arrived from the airport to go to the champs Elysees people followed the bus on the highway on bicycles 😂😂😂 you will never that in US !!! Like to sit on the windows of cars.... Police will stop you 😂😂.
17:10 - _"football, wave the flags, I'm happy to be here"_ ... *and sing the national anthem, all together !*
instead of some famous usa singer singing their anthem and yodel quite a bit to show off how "good" they can sing.
Respect and thanks for calling it Football! :) Greetings from Europe
A guy from work showed me the "I believe that we will win" chant and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's hilariously cringey. Americans completely missed the point of football chants. They're supposed to be creative and funny. They're very rarely about the actual game, the best ones are ripping on the opposition players or fans. Boomer gets it though.
I'd love KB to actually go to a game and this chant happens and then he fights them lol
I am learning so much.
Let's be fair.
That chant was from 1994, when the USA hosted the World Cup
They even had leaflets on the seats telling the supports to shout "Rejected!" ... when they successfully did a defensive move (?)
It was also the tournament that gave us the term "carded" ... there was no such word in the dictionary in the UK at least, but there is now thanks to this tournament. Even the poshest English commentator will say "... and, I don't know what he was thinking with that challenge. But he's rightly been yellow-carded!"
Oh fuck me, I remember that ,they were taking the puss out of it on fantasy football league, Frank Skinner reading the instruction cards American fans were given that said "when corner or free kick is awarded, it is tradition to shout reeeeeeee-jected!!!!! at the opposition players"
Oh how we laughed at the Americans in the tournament that we didn't even qualify for :(
*piss
It has become apparent that you have been watching a lot of English chants the way you react to the "I believe that we will win" :D Hilarious!
Well, it is a bit…you know,….gay! 😂
17:20 They're singing French anthem. Sentence "They sound happy to be here" is funny when you know lyrics
Translated to English:
Let's go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,
What do they want?
For whom these vile shackles,
These long-prepared irons? (repeat)
Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!
What emotions that must excite!
It is us that they dare to consider
Returning to ancient slavery!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
What! These foreign troops
Would make laws in our home!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!
Vile despots would become
The masters of our fate!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,
The disgrace of all groups,
Tremble! Your parricidal plans
Will finally pay the price! (repeat)
Everyone is a soldier to fight you,
If they fall, our young heros,
France will make more,
Ready to battle you!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
Spare these sad victims,
Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
But not these accomplices of Bouillé,
All of these animals who, without pity,
Tear their mother's breast to pieces!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
Sacred love of France,
Lead, support our avenging arms!
Liberty, beloved Liberty,
Fight with your defenders! (repeat)
Under our flags, let victory
Hasten to your manly tones!
May your dying enemies
See your triumph and our glory!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!
We will enter the pit
When our elders are no longer there;
There, we will find their dust
And the traces of their virtues. (repeat)
Much less eager to outlive them
Than to share their casket,
We will have the sublime pride
Of avenging them or following them!
"May impure blood water our fields". I'll never eat French watercress again..........
"La Marseillaise" my friend.
@@sebclosescu3794 we all know that. Thank you. Also for those that don’t know, here is the French flag 🏳️
@@Jerrymouse79 Oh, you coloured outside the lines, I see.
@@Jerrymouse79 Don't spread misinformation. They stopped using it as official flag in 1830
Boomer I started singing “I believe that we will win” and “Fight and win” in the pub during US v England and everyone knew them and had a right laugh 😂
The one with the English flag in the badge is AC Milan in Italy. The club was founded by an Englishman (Herbert Kilpin) and as a mark of respect they kept the English flag in their badge and the English name of Milan rather than the Italian name "Milano".
Also the Dutch team Ajax Amsterdam is pronounced "Ay-ax".
Also USA play Iran today in the World Cup. Do you believe you will win?😁
@@alancx523 You sound fun.
@alancx523 You are correct regarding the pronunciation of Herb. It was originally pronounced Erb in England.
Also Aluminum is actually the correct term for what we call Aluminium. The person who named it, Sir Humphrey Davy eventually settled on Aluminum after using alumia and alumine originally. Another scientist decided to call it Aluminium to fit in with potassium and sodium. So Aluminium stuck in the UK while America didn't get the memo and stayed with Aluminum. So, the Americans are in fact using the most original name.
@@alancx523 "separated by common language, and a fucking great big ocean thank Christ"
God bless Al Murray
Its the flag of Milan. Thats why its also on Alpha Romeo cars and Lombardian independent groups logos
I did not know that,,,
Bearing in mind the amount of force put on the stands in that stadium it was designed to respond that way to absorb the forces. A perfectly rigid stand would be subjected to potentially destructive vibration over time.
ACM is AC Milan, in Italy.
The song you hear at the beginning is Sarà perché ti amo by Ricchi e Poveri (1980 or down there).
The chant that follows is using its melody to insult the opponents (Juventus), they slightly altered the lyrics to achieve that.
In general, if you want to see "hard" atmospheres... Balkans or Turkey are the way to go.
I ❤️ this song, and the band too. My other favourite from them :Cosa sei. R.I.P. Franco 😪
I just about pissed my pants when you seen that Seattle guy your reaction was priceless
Thank you my friend😂
😆😆😆😂 your reaction to the Seattle guy 😆😆😆😂 i couldn't stop laughing all through this video !thank you 😂😂😂😂
King Boomer: I liked france the most. They sound so happy, like they are just happy to be there and have some fun!
What the frenchs are actually singing: Let`s grab some arms and (literally) make their blood water the furrows of our fields!
That was them singing their national anthem. Of course they sing it with all the proud of their heart!
@@georgdrache7858 The U.S. national anthem has a similar line "Their (British) blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution". There are 4 verses, but the 1st one is the only one ever played and it ends by asking the question if the flag still waves over the free & the brave. The other 3 verses answer the question with a "Hell Yeah it does".
I remember once when a stadium collapsed in Brazil a newspaper went to make an interview with one of the victims of the collapse and it was a girl. She was fine, not too badly hurt, just a smal cut on her forhead. The journalist asked her what happened, how she was feeling and she answered: "I am very happy because we won and the whole puplic coud show their apreciation towards the team by bringind the stadium down"
It is a very sad thing that happens, though.
Btw, France and Romania were international football games. They are singing their antem. You will see the same with other European countries. The Dutch fans are famous all Orange and the guests really like the awesome mood from the fans. Yes Ajax is named after the Greek guy :D
About the stadiums, therewere accidents in the past. Long time ago. Arena's now are build for it and be happy the construction moves. That's the meaning. Otherwise it would break after a while.
I was at the game england vs the us, and they did do the chant, i was unpleasantly shocked.
But kudos to them it rooted the team to a 0-0 draw
Not French but a fan of French football and have been learning French. From the clip PSG fans mainly sing ‘Allez Paris SG, pow pow pow pow’ repeated a few times but it’s from their chant ‘À jamais tu resteras gravé dans ma tête’ (forever you will remain engraved in my head)
If you type that into Google should give you the full chant!
What song is the allez Paris SG chant based on?
12:35 BvB 09 stands for Borussia Dortmund, Germany. Here you see the BvB fans marching to the opponent's stadium during an away game. The next two are also from Germany/Bundesliga: Cologne (1. FC Köln) and Frankfurt (Eintracht Frankfurt). At 16:36 we see and hear the fans of AC Milano in Italy
If you want to understand where the passion for Football comes from in Europe it is the rivalries within towns, between cities and in the history of the Clubs. AC Milan/Inter Milan, Arsenal/Tottenham, Manchester City/Manchester United, Liverpool/Everton, Glasgow Celtic/Glasgow Rangers are all local rivalries. Liverpool/Manchester United, Leeds United/Manchester United, Barcelona/Real Madrid are all intercity rivalries. These teams were formed for a reason and all of it was about pride not Money. One team per city awarded a franchise based on an a League deciding they want that market can never compete with that. Promotion/Relegation also really helps building years long builds to success or bust. They are our clubs, they might be owned and controlled by others but we the supporters feel it is ours.
For Germany you can add BVB/Schalke, Bremen/HSV, St. Pauli/HSV, Braunschweig/Hannover, Fürth/Nürnberg, Union/Hertha, Mönchengladbach/Köln
in France u can add : Paris vs Marseille, Lyon vs Saint Étienne, Lille vs Lens...
@@monkey_8227 You can also add St. Pauli/Hansa Rostock
I think one of the key differences between US and European sports atmospheres is in stadium design. US stadiums are designed more with the spectacle in mind, view of the pitch, corporate sponsor boxes and advertising boards etc. European stadiums tend to cram as many people into as tight a space as practically possible and generally leave more fans to let rip. Many more safety protocols are finding their way into European stadiums in recent years but some traditions just fail to go away.
If you haven’t seen it already KB, I’d urge you to check out the Borussia Dortmund VS Liverpool full stadium rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone. Both teams have adopted it as their club anthem after separate tragedies and listening to a full stadium belting it out pre-game is spine-tingling.
Liverpool sang that a long time before the "tragedy" you are thinking of mate.
@@davidbetts9332 I’m aware of that. My point was: a whole stadium singing the same thing is amazing. Was never a question of who sang it first or who does it better.
@@chrisbluff6589 so why did you say "both teams adopted it...... after separate tragedies" when that is not true?
I like how they wear football scarfs in Arizona too when it’s like 100 fucking degrees. There’s a fine line between dedication & insanity.
Mind you, anything under 100 in Arizona is considered a bit chilly ❄
Some European fans take there tshirt off when it gets below a certain temperature hahah
Leeds and Newcastle United have their regular fattys that get their guts out fert lads but only when it's 0 degrees c or under.
Context. The Irish chant is from the Northern Irish fans during the Euro 2016 game against Germany in France. The Northern Irish attendence was pretty impressive considering they are such a small ''country'' and where playing in France.
As a Frenchman, I can assure you that if Portugal won the 2016 European Cup in the stadium, Irish and Northern Irish fans won the cup in the streets and in the hearts of France.
When Wembley Stadium (1923) was built the Army were used to test the terracing !
Also on a similar note soldiers have to " break step" when crossing Albert Bridge in London.
Loved your reactions .
Is that the sir Nigel grezley train in your picture ?
You're killing me man with that chant and actions !!🤣 It sounds like a chant that people were TOLD they HAD to shout or be imprisoned !!
You're one of us now Boomer. We welcome you with open arms.
Dear KB I couldn’t stop myself from keeling over with laughter for the US portion of the video & watching your reaction to that. You’re an absolute star my friend 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Romania was chanting the national anthem. I think big stadiums (over 80k) have dumpers to absorb shocks. Bucharest stadium is made to stand up to 7.2 Richter scale earthquake but is only 55k seats. I lived near stadium for 13 years and damn, sometimes before football match like 4 streets around it were closed. I mean closed for cars, busses, etc, except for huge wave of football fans incoming towards stadium. And no alcohol is sold in any store for 1 mile around stadium during matches, no matter if you go home or not. This is a match from 2nd League (not even 1st) on Bucharest stadium...th-cam.com/video/7Kx7P7Qi8oc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Tribuna2
Yep, Ajax is named after the semi-mythical Greek hero. However the club name is pronounced 'eye-axe', as the 'J' in Dutch is soft (similar to the Germand 'J') and sounds more like a 'y'. I used to be friends with a Dutch guy called Jan, pronounced 'Yan'. :)
Jan Klass Huntelar
At 13:53 they (the English) sing "Here comes Pippi Longstocking". Music by Georg Riedel and text (albeit not here) by Astrid Lindgren (both Swedes). There is respect in the choice of melody, because Pippi Longstocking was a strong and free-thinking girl, a rebel the men would say.
Pippi Calzelunge in Italy ...so many memories al long long long time ago🙂
@@codadivolpe Since we're sharing translation in Polish it's Pipi Pończoszanka. I used to have like 10 CDs with movies about her. There is indeed a lot of memories from time long ago
And to clarify. Pippi Longstocking was a swedish childrens tv show from the late 60's. (based the books by swedish author Astrid Lindgren). The song the fans are chanting is the theme song of the tv show..
In france it's Fifi Brindacier 😅
It's Eintracht Frankfurt. I'm pretty certain it's in Germany.
"Looks like a towel disguised as a tie" My man just discovered what a scarf is
😂
I have been watching many videos lately where Americans react to the differences in atmosphere. Yours by far the funniest 😂
That was your best reaction yet! Had me in tears of laughter. 😂 #NeverBeLikeSeattleGuy
Even Wembley stadium rocks when teams win a game. I was there this year watching Nottingham Forest get promoted louder then the Irish
You made my day with your reaction🤣 Yes you guessed correctly about Ajax..and ΑΡΗΣ (Aris was the god of war in ancient Greece)...😉 Greetings from Greece
Man you crack me up 😂😂 especially when “fight and win” guy appeared on the screen 😂
That tribunes swing is actually a build in feature in quite some stadiums. The collaps happend because the architect didn´t account for the extra weight on the structure when fans go crazy. The one at 14:51 is Eintracht Frankfurt Germany and at the logo you see a black line on the buttom of the upper tribune, that´s not paint but a build in crack so the structure has space to move/swing without damage. It´s similar to long bridges which have cracks as well so side winds don´t put to much stress on the structure.
this was hilarious. I love the immediate rant. 🤣
12:52 that's the 1.fc Köln (Cologne), my hometown.
They're singing:
No matter what happens,
The red wall is behind you,
Does not leave your side,
For only for you it is here.
Oh FC Kölle,
A whole life for the club ... Repeat
The stadiums are designed with the bouncing in mind. So they're safe
I find it insanely funny that they're using the Pippi Longstocking theme for their chant.
@@AbsolutePernilla haha yeah same here. But in Germany you just know it's Eintracht Frankfurt whenever u hear it. They doing it for so long, I love it
Just for the record: the bouncing stand (Stadium Nürnberg, Germany vs. Frankfurt) is not a security risk but part of the architecture. Similar to buildings that need to withstand earthquakes most German stadiums are equiped with suspensions to prevent them from colabsing when the fans are jumping. Its not an issue, but a feature.
Teams from Europe:
BVB is Borussia Dortmund from Dortmund, Germany
Koln is Cologne, Germany
Think I also saw Frankfurt from Germany
ACM is AC Milan from Milan, Italy
Ajax(ay-ax) from Amsterdam, Netherlands
Malmo is from Sweden(think I saw the badge correctly)?
yeah, eintracht is the one with the stand shaking. and yes, the swedish team are malmo
Many stadiums are designed to "shake". There has to be some movement to accommodate the weight of fans jumping up and down.
Yes if it's rigid it will break very quickly !
7:35 I laughed so hard, good thing the seattle guy didnt show up xD. This deserves a sub.
Well this all has pros and cons, as much as one might enjoy the atmosphere, there is a lot of extremism going on, the ultras are, what you don't really have in the US and how many games do you have in the US where the Police has to show up in huge numbers with backup from neighboring cities in full Riot gear... that's normal here, there are 3rd league games that need such levels of security with fan groups being escorted to and from the stadium surrounded by police to make sure they don't meet the opposing fans... so, there is that.
8:34 He's so proud. A star is born.
10:26 Sure, come on over. (I love the way they're putting on hooligan expressions, if they ever saw a real European or South American soccer riot they'd RUN in the opposite direction)
10:52 Well it is, it's an egg and you hold it, it's certainly not a Football, it's not even ball shaped
19:31 It's pronounced "Ayax" KB ;) ...and their supporters are WILD.
20:22 Sounds like they're chanting something "Pronto Pronto!" which is probably kind of lame if it's just "Quick ! Quick !"
Bvb is borussia dortmund and German team. ACM is AC Milan and Italian team. It has English roots that’s why the George cross is on the badge. You will notice the same on Barcelona’s flag. The Icelandic Viking chant is amazing. It was funny seeing Iran fans doing it at the World Cup. We’ve had a lot time to perfect the craft of fan chants the US will get there. I would love to see NYCFC dominate. They are owned by city football group. Similar badge and kits.
Roughly translated the French chant was "I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN".
LMAO!
Jonathan Pie would be proud of you!! that was a master rant!!
I’m not that many minutes into this reaction and I’m already loving it 😂😂😂, A game reaction, Boomer 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻!
Yeah that was an English flag, though the teams is a very famous Italian one, called ac Milan. A considerable amount of countries/clubs football was instilled by English teachers, pastors, etc moving abroad and starting up sides and leagues around the turn of the 19/20th century. Even as far away as Brazil. One of the few good things about us English going abroad is football
OMG, I can not believe the enormes influence if Argentina in all the European ans Asian sports when it comes to the fans supports. But to also take the songs change the lyrics and keep the tunes, incredible.
Makes me think about the football tournament (soccer for the one in the US) we had in the years preparing for engineering school in France...
Before some context, we had a philosophy lesson about some movement people had where they tried to create popsy with words that means nothing, like creating things with just sound. The teacher told about this making fun of it. Some infamous line he read during class was "iro iro iro pic pic, iro iro iro place paac".
Fast forward, our class is playing in the tournament. All matches were played on the small concrete field inside the high school part, often during class hours just when we had time for it. Here we go screaming "iro iro iro pic pic, iro iro iro paac paac". Everyone was losing his mind. Best thing is philosophy teacher went by when we were doing things and it cracks him up
Bless him, King Boomer is Morphing into a full on Englishman lol... If he comes over to England he'll have a few breakfasts and *NEVER* go home.... 🤣
Boomer cracks me up! You can tell he’s already annoyed from watching the Buccs try to football. Then he’s hit with the US soccer fans compilation 🤣 “I’m gonna root for Iran in the next match” 😂
Come live here man, you will be made more than welcome here in the UK, we're a footballing nation and I've always loved your reactions to the songs sang back here in the UK at football matches. When your stood in the stand here your all family and the passion is massive. You support your team and we become one.
Back a while the 2 English professional football teams from Bristol , Bristol City and Bristol Rovers would contest the Gloucester Cup !
The match I remember most was in the early 1980's , Bristol Rovers were the favorite to win that day , they were in a higher division and also at Eastville Park , their home ground at that time !
I was a Bristol City fan , and we won the match 2to 1 , because it was in the days of a lot of hooliganism , after the match the police marched all the Bristol City fans back to Ashton Gate ( Bristol City home ground ) , I was only about 14 , we City fans in a police convoy chanted and sang all the way back to Ashton Gate which was a few miles away ! Absolutely special feeling to have been part of it ! The passion was immense !
english football fans are something else, they come around the corner with the funniest and most ridicolous and true chants which make everyone laugh and sing with them. „you lucky bastards, it shouldve been 10“ will forever live rent free in me mind
At the England - Wales game today I heard "Are you Scotland in disguise" from the England fans xD
😂🤣 Sorry! I had to laugh so hard when you rant about the second chant!!!
For the French matchs , the first one, they sing the Marseillaise (which is the national anthem) they sing it at the start of every french match and for the second they say "allez" which means "let's go" to encourage the team
I believe that we will win....... Reminds me of the songs we sang at primary school when I was 5 years old. C'mon America I know you can do better than that.
My primary school sports day had better chants than that. Each house block had one
I don't know if should laugh or just put my head in my hands and shake my head
In Scotland we were trained in chants since primary school, the Cathy cats eating rats or Proddy dogs eating frogs was chanted across the fence at eat other during break, this was in the 80's in an area where you either supported Rangers or Celtic.
Ajax - I think pronounced more like "Eye Axe" "I AXE" Quick search about the current badge was interesting... "Commissioned in the early 1990s, as they embarked on another golden period under Louis van Gaal, the figure of Greek hero Ajax the Great - in full battle armour - is drawn with 11 lines each symbolising the number of players that make up a football team"
Search the old Ajax badge. Most fans prefer these one and last season the home kit had the old badge on it.
I laughed so hard I even got sick! Very good!!! 🤣🤣
I advise you to watch Benfica from Portugal fans against Borussia Dortmund for the Champions League! They are singing "Benfica the love of my life" for 30 minutes... feel the passion!!
You might like to know
The french song was there anthem. Which is called translated the march. And its horrifically bloody
BVB= Borussia Dortmund, Germany. FC Køln= Cologne, Germany. The eagle badge= Eintracht Frankfurt, Germany. ACM= AC Milan, Italy. The yellow badge with Aphi= Aris Thessaloniki, Greece. Ajax= Ajax Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Blue and white striped badge: Malmø FF (city of Malmø), Sweden. Logo with Paris on top= Paris st. Germain, France.
Unfortunately I didn't recognize the logo during the viking chant. I left out the national teams, because King Boomer recognized those. He might have recognized some of the others too, but I thought it would be good too name them.
To answer the question “why do the French always sound so happy”, it’s because every other fan is essentially going to war & is willing to die in battle. But the French are just getting ready to surrender instantly as they always do.
I think you need to check your history concerning the French, I'm not French by the way.
@@garytate3075 I just take it as an old "French surrender" joke
@@MW_Asura yeah I know, but a lot of people take it as fact.
Things to dislike about Soccer/Football.
- Low scores sometimes 0 - 0 draws.
- Players get touched in a heated contested ball contest and they go down like they have lost a leg in warfare.
- Offside rule that rewards lazy defending leading to a goal being disallowed when all players were in the rectangle.
Things to love about Soccer/Football.
- The crowd chanting in European Football.
Games used to be worth 2 points, W=2, L=0, D=1. Cynical coaching & deliberately playing for a draw by both teams led to a bonus point added for a win. Although I have seen a few exciting 0-0 matches, I think that if both teams got nothing from these draws scoring would increase. I would also add a bonus point for a win by more than one goal. Seeing 'keepers jump away from a bad PK aimed right at him makes me sick. Back up the spot far enough to make it a 50/50 chance & don't be afraid to call them. Players that can't get up before they get a call then have no trouble running should get a yellow card.
12:17 BVB (that particular logo) is the logo of Borussia Dortmund, a pretty successfull german soccer club that has won the german championship a couple of times.
I was also in a shitty mood today, but seriously laughed my ass off to your reaction! As a European football fan, i had seen the video before but your engagement was f ing hilarious! Good job!
🤣🤣😂 I laugh so hard it's amazing video! hahahahaha but you're absolutely right at everything! hahaha this is crazy
The English flag is the cross of Saint George, our patron saint. The clip shows the badge of AC Milan who are in Lombardy which also has St George as its Saint.
LMAO! I love the ranting man! Keep it up! Bad chants must know!
I gave it a like alone just for the funny dance interlude for your displeasure with the chant "We believe we are win!"
It's so hyped to actually go to a game in Europe. And yes some of the chants are used more often. Others get made up on the spot by the more hardcore fans. But theres a core form to the rythm every clubs fanbase has. Just being there with them with love and hype your instincts will naturally start mirroring the pace.
18:11 is a perfect example. The jumps weren't sync. But it takes a few seconds for most to link up
Danes here, I love your reaction, it's impossible not to laugh when I see it.🤣
15:00 If stadium moves when People jump it's a good sign. It means it's designed to flex what reduces material stress, otherwise concrete and steel can start cracking and crumble.
Not a liverpool fan but that song they sing: you never walk alone is something
Great video. Don’t upset yourself your way to much fun. Thank you 👍
This guy is clueless about what team is from where but I love his approach! Good job and keep going brotha!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet (not gonna read all the comments) but the arena at 14:00 (Eintracht Frankfurt) is built in a way that can withstand the movement you see in the video. It's supposed to move like that. Awesome atmosphere in there!
Btw, about the stadium thing, architects have that in mind when they build stadiums. They make them so the structure can resist the jumping.
Yeah, if the stadium doesnt sway, the energy goes nowhere.. until it breaks through...
Football stadiums are specifically engineered to include shock absorbers in between floors to allow that bounce, I'm sure other people have already mentioned this in the comments.
Hahaha 😂😂 you made me laugh, only 25 second's into the video, good reaction by the way.
GAWA {Green and White Army } Northern Ireland. We have great fans who sing their heart out.
