      And let’s not forget in America a club is for an entire state, meaning millions of people, here some towns have 2/3/4 or more clubs… for one town alone.
      Supporting your team is just not the same in both…
      And last big difference, teams in the USA play actually very few games, like nfl Super Bowl winner plays 17 games to get there.
      MLS is about 34.
      Here big teams play about 60 games, from national championships, to regional or country cups, to European leagues and so on.
      And on top of that we have the championships by country, the Euro or World Cup. which if you look at the size of USA states and the amount of games the teams play , is actually more comparable than to our classic championships or European leagues.
      We have passion for our teams…

      ​@@daviddieudonne7829 Thats 1 thing i have no fucking ide why they have there team/clubs limited to 1 per state. Sure if its a sport noone plays then okey, but even there most popular sports the NFL/NBA only have 1 team per state how the fuck is that even happening. 1 quick google search showed about 40.000 officially registered clubs in England alone. The only thing that kept pooping up for the NFL was that there was 32 teams in the NFL. There are apparently betwinn 1200-1500 high school teams around the US and only 32 professionally recognized teams that is a total joke. Each state could create multiple leagues on its own for god sake.

      As a European I actually would love to experience a game in Latinamerica. Knowing that we are in that regard the same in the sense how we feel about football and our countries when it comes to international games. I wouldnt be surprised though that some specific games would be even crazier in Latinamerica than in Europe.
      I mean at the end of the day it is one of the reasons why Europe and South America are the most successful ...what can be also seen in the WC.

    As a Brit, a thing I've noticed that many Americans I know fail to realise, is that football (soccer) in Europe is pure passion and culture. Whereas in the US, I believe its something that parents take their kids to play til like they age of about 11 and then they give up. Its a sport to Americans, but for Europeans, without sounding corny, its life. If you ever go to Europe, I would really try and get tickets to a game, especially some French and German teams like Marseille, or Frankfurt, or Koln (like you saw in the video).

    In Europe, the club fans see themself as a family, a brotherhood, a tribe, that's extreme loyal to the club name and flag! I know because my father was one of them. He was extremely passionate about his football/soccer team. I don't see that in the U.S. regarding any sport. The only thing I could compare it to in the U.S. would be the brotherhood formed within the military. If you served in the military, I hope you can understand what I mean.

      As an Englishman that is a brilliant explanation, it really is one huge tribe. You are born into a family and whatever team your siblings/parents support, you are automatically adopted into that tribe, you have no say in the matter. 😂You are raised to love that team no matter what and build a strong dislike for your rivals. If your team loses that week it ruins your entire week, if you win it just automatically makes you happy for the rest of the week. I support Liverpool just like my brother, sister, father and my grandad and when we won the Premier League for the first time in 30 years the level of euphoria and celebration was unexplainable. You could go as far to say that football is like a religion in Europe and South America, whereas in the US it just seems like entertainment. Just the fact that it's called soccer in the US is enough to explain the difference I would say, it's simply unacceptable to call it anything other than football outside of the US.

    Compared to Europe, the US passion seems so... choreographed. I'm guessing the positive nature of the chants possibly comes from the history of college and school "fight songs". The European fans just go for it. No need for any kind of cheerleader (pun intended). The passions is real and raw.

    • @bearzerger
      @bearzerger ปีที่แล้ว +20

      I think the difference is that sports culture in the US is top down, while in europe it's bottom up.
      In europe most clubs were founded by the working class and even those most who have now have become billion dollar enterprises still have their roots in poor people of a town or suburb banding together to play a sport. The fan scene does reflect that. They believe it's their club to some degree and tend to have a strong voice affecting how a club is run, they organise themselves and come up with their own chants and means of expression. It's a fan culture that has grown over generations.
      In the US most clubs don't have that, they were founded by some wealthy guy hiring people to play, there isn't such a strong historical connection between the club and the town or its people. In the US the owner can just pack up things and move a club to a different town and change their name, in europe that's inconceivable. US fans don't believe its their club, they are far less organized and the attachment to a club isn't generational. They are being entertained just like the fans in europe, but they don't have that feeling of belonging/ownership.

That's why you can see the passion.

    Every football club in Europe has its own stadium song. You could hear some of them in the videos. Every fan knows the song, of course, and with it they greet their team and say goodbye to them after the game. Sometimes these are pop songs or children's songs with new lyrics, but sometimes it is the original as well.
    Liverpool fans, for example, always start the game by singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". It's especially touching when they sing the song after the game, even though Liverpool lost.
    You could also hear some national anthems in the video, which are usually sung along loudly.
    And the shouted "Hu!" accompanied by clapping, which starts slowly and then gets faster and faster, comes from Iceland. This is how the Icelandic fans support their team. Some fans of other nations thought it was so great that it has since been adopted by them as well.
    There are also a few songs intended to "annoy" the opposing team. For example, when the fans of a team playing against FC Bayern Munich sing to the tune of "Yellow Submarine": "Zieht den Bayern die Lederhosen aus " ("Undress the Bavarians from their Lederhosen").
    But this kind of singing is rather rare. Usually the chants are for your own team to support them.

Whereas in football in the UK it's full on about the match. You might have a couple of pints pre-match in a nearby pub but then it's chanting or singing to encourage your team with known songs or abusing the opposition team!

      I can’t speak for UK Fans but I can say that especially in the Deep South it’s mostly about the Tailgating experience. Tailgating on Saturdays before a favorite College team is quite the social experience. The Southeastern Conference in College sports has some fantastic tailgating venues and the assortment of food and drink it’s absolutely amazing. It’s not just BBQ either here it’s gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish, deer sauce picante, pork, fish, duck, and other assorted wild game fresh from the bounty of Nature’s abundance. Everyone invites anyone nearby to be a guest, hospitality is #1 and no one goes away hungry or thirsty and if your team is on the losing end the tailgating goes on and more beer goes along way in healing the pain of a loss to your most bitter rival. 😂

    I have to say I really enjoyed watching American football when in the US. In the UK, football (soccer) and rugby are pretty well all-male events, but in the US I felt really comfortable (except when our team was losing!) Super atmosphere.

    I'd say in Europe, or at least in Germany, many chants are about the passion, love and history of the clubs. Not just, "We are the best" (though of course, that too) but somehow, "you should know, WHO WE ARE and What we've been through". And like in England many are mocking the other teams, as well. There's a funny chant from Union Berlin, where they chant, "Wir sind eure Hauptstadt, ihr Bauern!" Which means, "We are your capital, you farmers!", as Berlin is Germany's capital. And every time, that's hilarious. The difference has to do with the history. Most clubs in Europe have over 100 years of history. So there's legacy, love and history.
