America wouldn’t allow the bad language. Even though they believe they have freedom of speech.
They allow Guns, but they banned Joy and Songs. Poor Americans, you must change your Minds.
So true sir
Aww so that's why alot of soccer fans openly yell racist shit to soccer players 😮😅 Imagine yelling racist shit next to kids and in 2023,😂😂 the next generation will pick it right up and continue it!! Take tsk tsk
And dont forget about all the Karen's and normal people that wanna police you....
freedom of speech unless private property
US will never come close to European football fans. Some say Europeans take it too far, but for many it’s far more than just a game. It’s literally life.
10:40
In this case they're singing their club song.
In Europe we don't sing the National anthem at club matches.
Every club have their own song or anthem that usually is played when the players enter for the lineup.
That's when most of the tifos are displayed too.
The usa government knows very well what they are doing..
@@sir2657 Here government and sports are separated.
It's not in our genes or our blood to sing for our country.
But the club loyalty is holy, inherited from generation to generation.
Football is a religion in Europe and the stadium our temple.
Man, we literally sing our anthems in international matches, especially in big cups.
@@drigerdranzer7514 you know paok...I am a greek paok ex hooligan I know bruh...but the us government wants pussies
@@BananLord Here in Sweden we only sing the National anthem when the National Team play.
Not even at the cup final anymore and never at European club games.
Then it's our own beautiful anthem that echoes and other chants during the Champions League, Euro League or Conference League anthems, trying to drown them out.
Greetings from Malmö FF, the most champions of Sweden.
💙🤍⭐⭐🤍💙
What you see at BORUSSIA DORTMUND is the grandstand called "Die SÜD" or "The South". There are the Borussia Hardcore Fans. It is impossible to get any tickets for this stand (season tickets only) and it is nearly impossible to get season tickets. They are partly inherited over generations. This grandstand holds 24,454 people. The whole Stadium holds 81.365 people.
Nowhere close to Legia Warszawa fans. Google for Legia tifo's
Most overhyped Fans in Germany...Not even in the Top 5 in the Bundesliga! Mass is Not Class, 95% on the Süd are just silent Customers that dont really Support much ! Have seen them about 15 Times , it it gets Worse from Year to Year....really sad, cause 10 -15 Years ago , Atmosphere in Dortmund was Top Tier in the League , but Not now, Frankfurt, Schalke, Union, Köln, Stuttgart, Dresden, Magdeburg , Rostock, Kaiserslautern, Bochum for Example have a much better and louder Support in their Home Matches.
They should have shown the famous one when Liverpool were guests there and they all sang YNWA together. Great atmosphere.
@@Micha-fu5wqway nobody will beat Eintracht Frankfurt - West ham , Barcelona ( camp nou is still their “Summercamp)😂😂😂😂
@@juergenwolf5476 As I wrote, Frankfurt one of the very Best....Dortmund.....Just overhyped. THE Home(Away) Game in Camp Nou was just legendairy . Cheers from a Stuttgart Supporter.
The US has improved but definitely room for more improvement.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no 🇷🇺
Will never happen. As long as Garber's vision is to make MLS just like NFL and NBA, the only things to come next in MLS are cheerleaders, jumbotron et al. All must be sanitized, standard, similar from one stadium to the next. No flares, no strobes, no contentious tifos. Fuck ML$$$$$$$$ 😠😠
They get better and better. It's a joy to see. Part of the ploy to get them to call football by it's rightful name.
As long as you wave rainbow flags in ultra sections and have girls there, it'll never improve😂
The US has improved,they still look like a gay parade
Our football teams are up to 150yrs old especially here in Scotland - England, therefore there are a lot of proper rivalries , either with teams from across the city, rival cities or competitive rivalries
There are pretty strict restrictions in Europe too. Atleast in Germany you're not allowed to bring Smoke ore flares to the Stadium. But the Fans still find away to bring them. Every time they do, the Clubs have to pay big penalties. Sometimes fans aren't even allowed to bring any kind of Tifo (e.g. Flags, Banners, drums) with them, as a punishment for riots in the past. Most of the time these kind of punishments are rather random and unfair but that is an other story. The massive choreographys you were stunned by cost a lot of time and money. For example a big one like the ones you guys saw in this video takes weeks of hard work and can cost up to 30k. All of this is to express the love these fans have for their club. That's why all the money comes from donations from other fans or membership fees of fan clubs (Ultras). I hope this explains why you don't see them as often and why American fans can't just copy them for their own team.
(Sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes)
i feel like this is a common misconception from europeans fans. at least in my experience, our stadium is always packed, smoke, tifos, etc. we laos have ultra groups but we call them supporter groups. there are also banned flares and smoke here but it's definitely very strict, not sure how anyone would get one in here. While ours isnt nearly as impressive, it doersn't mean they don't happen here
@void_skyy6451 I know that you guys have some good support over there. My comment wasn't meant to degrade this, but instead explain that we can't just bring anything to the stadium. In the video, it seemed like the Uploaders tried to say that you can bring flares and smokes to the Stadiums legally in Europe. And that's why they tend to be more usual in Europe. I think that both supporting cultures can learn a few things from each other to create the best experience possible.
@@misterjo7947 oh yeah, the creator was definitely wrong in assuming that. Still not sure after all these years you guys manage to sneak flares and smoke in honestly 😅
@@void_skyy where could you possibly hide a 20x5 cm tube... 😅
@@stevqtalent based on my experiences travelling abroad and watching football it's much easier. security can be nuts here
American fans, they do try, they try really hard, and that's the problem. It's choreographed. It's almost as if they see how they should react and try to copy it. Don't bother, just go with it. That "fight and win guy", that's the prime example. Give him his due, he's trying his best to gee up the other fans, but it's too plastic. Too manufactured. A microphone?? All he does is come across as a knob. Just watch the match, start singing, others might follow, then you get the result. As was in the Top Gun Maverick film, "don't think, just do".
This is the BEST explanation! Americans need to hire you good sir! 🤗🤗🤗
i mean we have history we have songs we have chants that children learn before anything lol it's in our blood that all i will say about this ecept learn more about this and give USA just a tiny bit of what there are chanthing and so on thats it
but at least they don't offend people, today they are sensitive😲
That man at Seattle os a twat!!!
Go to any Thrid Tier club in England you can see how much loader and netter chants
Los yankis cada vez lo hacen mejor.
Pyro is banned everywhere but we always get it in somehow.
Most countries security works together with Ultras/Hooligans they sometimes kinda run the club for a part, groups have a lot of power and influence.
You need promotion/relegation in your leagues to get some tension. If the matches don't matter that much you lose some of the excitement in each game.
Exactly.
yup, they want fans to have passion but there are no high stakes for it, at the end of the day (season) it's just meehhh
America doesn't do simple things like promotion and relegation as it's all about the money
I think this is a key difference!
With the promotion and relegation EVERY match is immensely important! That promotes (no pun intended) tension, excitement, happiness and tears.
I do not think US football will get any way near European football unless the whole "pay it, to play it" system gets replaced with promotion and relegation.
pierdes dinero si los partidos sonn irrelevantes duh@@bencollins4168
Hey there. Ajax fans did turn their backs to the pitch, it's a form of a chant specific to football (soccer) called The Poznan (named after a Polish football club). Various club fans have adopted this chant with varying annotations, some express disagreement with club's management, others do "The Poznan" as a way to show they trust in a good outcome of the game before the match has ended, e.g. your team leads 2:0 with 20 minutes to go.
This chant is widely adopted all around the world and different fans give this chant different meaning, more on Wiki "The Poznań".
Correct me if I’m wrong but isnt it also to kinda make fun of the opponent
@@lichkinggamer5708 well there are several meanings, but yes, some fans do poznan as a sign of "the game is over, we won". Not specifically mocking the opponent, but as belief in victory.
@@HotteaLTI’ve see a few lower league teams use it as an insult to the other team, as in a “we don’t even have to look at you and we have claimed victory”
@@lichkinggamer5708 some top club fans do the same. I guess there's room to interpret it in your own way, celebrating a victory before the match has concluded can be taken as offensive, yes, but it's not always used to disrespect anybody, just to show others fans' trust in the victory.
In Greece PAOK fan do the "turn their back to the pitch" thing as a way of saying "We don't care about the score. We came here for you (our team)"
The thing to remember, Europe clubs are old, some of them are 100 years + old and so are their fan clubs. They have had the time to come up with songs and choreography and have grown organically over the decades... it simply takes time to develop. And the pyro can become more of a hindrance and even dangerous. Games have been stopped because players got hit, so maybe don't wish for more flares. Also... are the stadiums in the USA even made with mass jumping in mind? There have been some real horrible accidents in the past, when entire wings came down, people injured and even deaths have been on record.
Finally it is rather unfair that some of the most passionate fans closer to the USA have not been mentioned... I'm talking about Brazil, Argentina and all the other South American fans that follow the beautiful game. :)
FC Copenhagen has issued a jumping ban on the ultras section cos it wasn't originally built for it. Hopefully their new investigation will conclude it's safe, cos I really miss jumping lmao
Most are over 100 years old and apart from franchise FC are still connected to their original area
Other American sports have fan bases that are over 100 years old. The people on this video is just trying to make some money
What about the: "I bought a team & i'm gonna move to another city?"
Well American football are older than 100 Years old. You had also time to develop a fan culture. But you got franchises like at McDonalds. You worried about pyro..you gut guns over there. I would be worried about that. But i am from europe...
Its basically money vs passion. When I first found out that american football games are stopped for commercial breaks I couldnt believe its real. If that would happen in Europe at football games you would see actual riots. Its unheard off
In live TV?
@@PrivateAuskunft-wu1tb yup. In the US they legit stop the game for commercial breaks
My first experience here in North America, I noticed there’s no section for away fans. Ok, is it safe for them? …. People said yes, why not?!!
I’m like people would be killed in Europe for that 😂
imagine a lazio or Juve fan in with the Roma support......that person would never be seen again😆
@@ilcarcerieredimauri79image Liverpool and Utd 😅
My guy, the US doesn't have the tradition of football as europeans do, most fans are born with their parents inducting them into supporting their favorite teams, hence the 3 generations argument tho id argue 6 generations as we have teams in europe that are even 170 years old
The US will catch up in a few decades if the current promotion continues backed by european giants however they will need to implement a promotion/relegation with multiple leagues to draw in tension and fans as their current system removes a lot of the excitement from the game
Hope our US counterparts catch up, competition breeds improvement xD
@@irishrosa703 I've seen fans of all teams in with home fans (not the stretty) and its been mostly calm - until one scouser got a bit too mouthy, then people were clammering to get him before the stewards could
US soccer is business, EU soccer is passion.
Dont call it Soccer please .....its Football !!!!!!
@@Micha-fu5wq You're right, my bad
@@Micha-fu5wq Exacly
@@Micha-fu5wq Is it not association football?.. Cause that's what it's short for so..
Since u mentioned it a few times. Flares and fireworks are not allowed in 90% of Europe aswell. We simply dont give a fck :) But if you get caught/identified you'll receive a stadium ban or even nation-wide ban from all grounds.
I think others did well on commenting about history, rivalries and all that good stuff. Which is true. The club is everything for a lot of people. Family, friends, love, passion. They cheer with the club and they break into tears in bad times. This needs time to develop. There are a lot of clubs who are older than the USA.
I think the biggest problem with the US fans not being as passionate has to do with that it seems like they always need a "crowd starter" who initiates the whole fireworks and once that guy stops everybody else stops too.
In Europe, ANY fan at ANY time can start a fan hymn and then everybody else joins in, and if the guy who has initiated it should stop it absolutely doesn't matter, the rest will keep on going. Good old cascade effect.
Lol that’s not true. In Europe there’s always a guy with a megaphone or mic that dictates the chants. I think they’re called capo
If in Europe the "crowd starter" isn't there, 99% of the people wouldn't start any chant.
Nah chief, that ain't it. The speaker is there for almost every club save for England, and in a lot of terraces just anybody starting a chant isn't tolerated.
Thanks for reacting to my Video! Much love
In Deutschland ist mehr Stimmung im Kindergarten auf nem Geburtstag als in der gesamten USA scene 😂😂😂
Warst du schon mal bei einem Spiel in den USA? Dort, wo viele Latein- oder Südamerikaner wohnen und die zum Fußball gehen ist auch gute Stimmung. Z.B. in Orlando.
@@wonka6848 ich war schon mal bei nem spiel und Amerikaner selbst sagen es ja selbst .die gehen da hauptsächlich hin damit se andere treffen zum quatschen …..
@@Downhiller79 Als wäre das in Deutschland groß anders. Wenn in Dortmund > 80k im Stadion sind, dann sind da auch max. 10k die Stimmung machen.
Und ich kann dir sagen: In den Stadien in Städten mit vielen Latein-/Südamerikanern im Stadion ist die Stimmung mindestens mal gut.
😂😂😂😂
Hi.
At 9:42 you start talking about "the show" at Frankfurt . Maybe this is one of the big differences or missunderstandings. For these fans it isn't a show but pure passion for the game and the club. They put so much (spare-) time, holidays, money and heart in the choreo to support the team, to back it up, to make them fight harder and to give the players an extra punch of energy.
As you said: there is a long tradition in Europe. Often there are three generations supporting a team but it seems like the US is catching up.
Exactly, a massive amount of passion is put into European football, that is the difference, America is about the money, Europe is about the passion
In the US sport is show/business, in Europe it is passion and identury. You need to understand where that passion comes from. 100+ years ago, football was the working class man's sport (it still is). When you got hiome from 12 hours in the coal mine or steel works or shipyards, on your single day off; you went to see the game. It became the working class' vent, identity and pride. You can see it at 09:50, the Tifosi in front says "My Town, my club".
The Ultras of Dynamo Kyiv became the core of the Azov Batallion in 2014 when Ukraine's armed forces were on the back foot because of that pride and identity.
These flares and pyros are illegal in most countries but ultras take the risk and put on a show
As I said 6 months ago, y'all Americans are still passionate about food, which, no doubt, prevents you from jumping and partying #justsaying ;)
Those rainbow flags wont last a second here
Btw there is no need to tune out you'll never walk alone, the song is long past anything copyright and it is used by many clubs, even though it's mostly connected to Liverpool since the 60s, they even have the title in their crest. YNWA
Did us all a favour!
it’s actually connected to glasgow celtic. they used it long before liverpool did and it’s odd to notice people don’t know that.
@@ipkaa no they didnt, Celtic took it after they beat Liverpool in european cup semi in 66' and Liverpool had it since 63' i think. But if you have a source that says otherwise please show me.
@@ipkaa the only time the song was performed in a stadium before Anfield was using the older opera version after the munich air disaster at old trafford, but that was not connected to anything other than the tragedy itself. plus Gerry Marsden gave Shankly a copy of his version in 1963 before it came out, so a Liverpool guy gives his non-opera version to his club, how much more connected can it be. Celtic didn't use it before the 1966 cup winners cup semi-final as well as Borussia Dortmund and later Feyenoord, others followed.
@@ipkaawrong but ok
This is why football is called the king of all sports in Europe
Europe?all the world !!!!
true, Europe has had some head start. Most clubs are about 120-130 years old, while the English/Scottish clubs go back all the way even to the 1850s
The Seattle dude looks like a member of the adams family
I think people in the US were trying their style and realized they can be better and noisy. The US clubs want that type of European or South American fans support, chants and songs. Its what the owners want, happy fans electric atmosphere. I'm sure it will start to crossover into NFL and MLB.
10:15 - These supporters travelled to another country (Spain) for an international game. People of Madrid were confused to see so many of them singing, jumping and dancing in the streets.
I've been there. It was awesome. 6 or 7k Schalke supporters on their way to the stadium. There were a lot of scenes more epic than this.
I always find it so hilarious that the Frankfurt fans have adopted the Pippi Longstocking theme song.
Fight and win! True legen.
European fans can get so wild that at least with my country it's very common for our cops to fly to other countries or them flying here when big matches happen. The passion in derbies, which are matches between fierce rivals, that crowd control is always present and necessary to keep the tone down. Trust me, if you think some of these are wild, imagine if there were no rules 😅
Derby is a game between local sports teams so for example Manchester United vs Manchester City in football or New York Rangers vs New York Islanders in ice hockey or when my country of Czechia plays Slovakia in some sport we call it "federal derby" because we used to be one country. So rivalry alone doesn't make a derby for example perhaps the biggest football rivals FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid isn't a derby but its called "El Clásico"
@@BambuuucaCZ Ah okay, our main derby is between two rivals as well, but now that I looked into it better, we also call those games classics, but I guess since they're both nearby and are two of the top three teams, derby is used more often than classic
@@troublesometoaster4492 i dont think you understood what i said
@@BambuuucaCZ I understood, a derby is a game between local teams. And like I said, our main derby, because they're the only two local teams on the main league, is also a classic, since they're both top teams and they are really big rivals with a long history of competition among them, so it's easy for us to get those terms confused since we only hear of "derby" when speaking of them.
@@troublesometoaster4492 C'est ça.
What American fans lack is giving a heart for your team, thats why its different, they all know the songs and they all have leaders and structures and organizations that they respect
Cause american "clubs" are franchises like McDonald "resturants".
Hello guys, I'm surprised, USA is getting better. But you should never forget that football culture has existed in Europe for over 100 years. There are families in which the passion for the club has been passed down through four generations. Then there are differences to the clubs in US, correct me if I'm wrong. From what I've heard, clubs in the USA have owners who sometimes sell the club to other cities. In Europe a club always stays in the same city, it is part of the culture, the city is the club and the club is the city. Then there are rivalries between clubs (cities) that are older than the club, some of which go back to wars and battles from the Middle Ages and which have been adopted into football.
To be a fan from a Football team in Europe is also lifestyle. That's never be happened in the US. Also people don't sing the national anthem when not the National Team is playing. Only when the National Team is playing then sing the fans the National Anthem.
You mean a religion.
@@phoenix-xu9xj Football/soccer Are not a religion neither in Europe , neither in Latin America, Africa , Middle East...But World Cup last year that more just a sport. But you Never see LGBT flags on stadium like in US 5:01.
@@miroslavakostic no way you’re scared of a rainbow flag 😂. The reason you don’t see it in europe is because european football is extremely homophobic. There are only a handful players that came out of the closet. In reality at least thousands of european players are gay but they can’t come out because the fans wouldn’t accept it. I mean they even call the opponents gay as an insult
@@SchweinerSchinkler I am not scared of rainbow flag and there not only football fans hate Transgenderism. My Serbian people reject that sick agenda.
The fire are Bengalos, they are forbidden but are fun and throughout Europe sport is first sport and passion and then business! My club is from 1895 and I think you can see the passion behind it in this video. Ice hockey is just like football. When there are home games, the opponent has to feel small because the fans are the man the opponent is missing. Many teams call some stadiums hell, hell are the stadiums where the fans show a lot of passion! Love from Germany
Problem is. You have franchises not clubs
So, for example, they would never understand why German Ultras hate RB Leipzig, the so called "Dosen".
I'm a fan like that from Brazil and yes, we can spend the whole day singing, trips lasting 3 or 4 days are like that, there's always someone singing, jumping and playing an instrument, if you're excited about Europe you should check it out the fans from south america, real madness
European clubs have political and territorial history going back a very very long time, some right wing, some left & some in the middle, some have Ultras, others not - but remember, these teams have generations of followers going back from current supporters to great grandfathers - the passion you see in European football is not something you can buy in a store or even try to replicate, it has taken decades, wars, conflicts, riots, social uprisings and many other social impacting events to accumulate to what it is today - so today, it is pure loyalty & dedication, energy, die for your team, stand by your supporters and sing and shout and be there religiously; because, to a lot of these people, soccer comes before their religion and general life! Oh did i omit to mention religion - ah, that's for the next time!!! Ale ale ale - Sadly, America does not have any of the above attributes and will never realistically meet what Europe can offer on the football front - so for your man with the "Cmon Seattle chant......................well, get used to the cheese of the US sadly!"
Try this one for Welsh emotion - look up the guy who sang it - locked up in the 70 for being a Welsh nationalist and promoting the Welsh language, here he is today singing for the Welsh team in Welsh - what a mile stone historically - look at the support of people who now speak and sing in Welsh, all derives from history and oppression and a hard past of centuries, something the US just doeskin get or have - watch this below:
th-cam.com/video/emPhXdwhQoE/w-d-xo.html
The difference between America and Europe is the club you support is a gift you keep until your dying day its something you have inside you and you will fight tooth and nail for your club when us europeans say we would due for our club we really mean we'd die for our club that's how serious we take football on Europe
What you saw from Borussia Dortmund (Germany) is called: "Die Wand" = "The Wall". 😉
To be honest, to watch the black/yellow Wall in the the Stadium of Borussia Dortmund ist a Thing every soccerfan should do at least once... it's Like staying at Anfield Road or Bring in Bernabeu Stadium... Goosebump Level 1 trillion and a Lot of tears of emotion
G'day Guys! The really big European teams also have massive fan bases worldwide...Check out the 90,000 Liverpool fans in Melbourne Australia singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" Breathtaking1
That was megga for Aussies.
That was the best I've ever seen anywhere in the world and I'm a Man Utd fan , the Liverpool fans in Melbourne were a whole different level...

You see, brother, Football is not a game, it's a war in which each one does their part, they play, you F... everything that is related to the other team, that includes the opposing fans, as well as breaking their faces whenever possible, each side is an army made up of Fans (ultras are the most extremists) their absolute dedication is to their team even to the death of being necessary. they are not spectators of a game
9:53 and this is why it’s in amarica not so good yet because they think at the show or just to come for the show I Europe you have some clubs were are some event fans but all other are passionate ist not just being a fan you literally live for that ist a live style at important games on Europe or champions league they take vacation days and travel with the team take hotels and marches in the city
Frankfurt played against Barcelona last year (Frankfurt suprisingly win and win the tournament after taht and win the first international cup since 48 years) there were 30.000 Frankfurt fans in the stadium of Barcelona and 50.000-60.000 in general so the halfe of them doesn’t even have tickets but the takeover Barcelona and travel and book hotels…
First thing they need to chains to see it as entertainment. You gotta see the other team as the enemy, the visitor fans as the opponent. This is war and you can only win by being louder than them.
Greetings from Europe. Nice small video. And I do feel sorry for the Seattle fella. ;)
High there, portuguese football fan here and used to be part of the FC Porto ultra fan supporters called the Super Dragões (super dragons).
You referred to the Liverpool stadium and their fans...
A few years back, FC Porto played against Liverpool, in the champions league.
4000 FC Porto super dragons silenced the Liverpool supporters, at Annfield Road stadium. Being a football ultra is a way of life, it can be expensive to follow your team all over the country during the domestic season, and all over Europe, during the international events
Just had a small but real hartattack last sunday, the minute Antwerp became Champion of Belgium. I am happy about the hartattack. That's how much we love our club. The only thing i was worried about, was dying in front of my sun.
PS i am good now😊

The reason for the difference in passion at football matches in Europe and the US, is that there's a fundamental difference in why people attend the matches in the first place. In North America, when you buy a ticket to a game, you are going as a spectator, you are going to be entertained. In Europe when you buy a ticket to a game, you are going to be a participant. The chants, the songs, the jumping up and down are meant to give energy to your team, and intimidate the opposition. It's aa form of warfare, and you are theee to will your team to win. North Americans simply don't have that same mindset about sports.
the last video is from Ajax Amsterdam, around the 90th minute of the game everyone turns around and hugs each other and then jumps to the beat of the song. The song is about 90 minutes of singing and supporting the club.
‘‘90 minuten lang! Voor onze clubs uit Amsterdam! Gekkenhuis op de tribune! Niemand die ons stoppen kan! Oh oh oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh! ‘’ 🎵 ❌❌❌
Sport in America is a business.. in Europe it's a passion !!!
American sports is bizarre, a lot of people don't support teams they support players and will go with them if they change teams, and ive seen Americans say they go to games and don't care who wins, they just want to enjoy the game 🤷♂️ non of that makes any sense to us ha ha and it's reflected in the fans, 0% passion or loyalty, just choreography to pop songs and pom poms, very strange indeed ha ha, I'd love to see a load of American fans face to face with a load of Ultras the result would be Americans 🏃♂️
You can change your wife, but never your club.
Americans should see how Ultras react if a player of their team goes to a rival club and is a traitor in their eyes.
Luis Figo was the perfect example when transfering from Barcelona to real
Random fact about the first european clip.
The fans are notoriously loud, the stadium gets so loud that players who are not used to it sometimes faint during pregame and can't play the match then.
I think you've got to give the MLS fans some credit, they are miles better than they were some years ago, and now you've got some big fan cultures rising like FC Cincinnati or LA FC. I think you can easily compare them to European fans
Indeed.. they're by far the best I've seen
I still don't think you can compare them with European ultras.
@@daniellange1912 Yes . I saw on TV in Serbia. Much better but why they bring LGBT+ flags on games ?😮
That one stand at Borussia Dortmund is commonly known as the yellow wall,it holds 25,000 fans alone. Football fans all over Europe watch their games just for that one stand in the stadium.

LA FC were about the best. but you have to remember you guys are playing catch up. we've been doing this for a long time. worth checking out south american clubs like san lorenzo, and racing club, and wydad and raja casablanca of morroco
San Lorenzo probably has one of the most well known songs in world football called "O San Lorenzo". Great tune and great lyrics.
NGL those LA FC fans impressed me, closest to the Euro footy vibe
You to have to remember there is always away fans at Europe matches which is why there is always so much noise as they are chanting at each other. The fences are to keep the fans apart to stop violence. It is much less problem's now than there use to be.
massive improvement from the USA fans and to be fair European clubs have had a hundred + years to get good at it.
Pls allow some comments on the German teams:
1. BVB ( the yellow Hobbits): what was shown here was the so called Yellow Wall. The Ultra part of the stadium, capacity >20k standing people just there. Very impressive. There are top tier stadiums that have less total capacity ( BVB stadium total: 81k)
2. Eintracht Frankfurt: That was what they did shortly before their international matches against European opponents were kicked off. They also managed to do similar stuff at away games.Also very impressive. I live close to Frankfurt and have many colleagues pretty passionate about it.
3. SCHALKE 04 ( team of my own heart ): the clip is showing the fans prior an away game competing on European level against other European top teams. This is meant to be some kind of conquering foreign ground and show support and passion
And you see the players celebrating or appreciating their supporters very often.
It is because they are clubs with lots of local connections, there are no franchises that change location every once a while because the owner moves from LA to Oakland to Las Vegas etc
USA fans getting better. Nice to see 😎👍
Even my small swiss home town club has an impressive choreo 😂
That Seattle guy needs to become a meme, if he isn't one already. 😆
It's nice to see that fan culture in the US is getting better and you can't expect that fan culture has caught up with Europe in the short time that soccer has been popular in the US. But the fans that were shown are louder than the Manchester City fans.
It might not be a popular opinion but it's the truth . There is no risk of violence at American football games , hence you get this family day out Disney vibe from the fans , you can't manufacture passion, loyalty , belonging & history . Here in Europe we have centuries of history between rival towns , cities & countries , these rivalries are often built on historical economic, political , religious , proximity & even war. This is passed down from father to son for centuries , long after the real reasons for the rivalry have long been forgotten or diminished the rivalry & hatred continues . There is always an undercurrent of potential violence when groups of males amass in large numbers , add in the factor of local / national pride & the culture of how we support our teams & you get European football. American football does not have the underpinning rivalries that make football so important to us Europeans / South Americans .
As you said, football startet for 150 years ago, and are build on clubs (NOT a francise) in small neighbourhoods, in a kind of unions. In Denmark the first club were founded around 1875. So it's a passion, and in the older days pour peoples entertainment, and a sense of belonging. If you make it to a frencise the passion isn't the same, and your 'club' suddenly moves to a nother stadion, in another city. The europæien stile is more a belonging - for life. In your heart. Take a trip some day, and come over and enjoy, you are welcome. Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark, and thanks for your nice video.
as european i have to see its a huge level up for the US , starting on streets , have security (if you need security you do SOMETHING right xD)
you defenetly coming on some europe level. it just need little bit more time =)
the funny part about the clip with Eintracht Frankfurt (the black clothed guys with the fence infront) they use a song from a children fairy tale called "Pipi Longstocking" an rewrited it - i dont know if this is the correct titele of the book for the us , i googled it and that is all i found ^^
Borussia Dortmund have the biggest short side stand in Europa. Called "The sud tribune" also known as the Yellow Wall. Takes 25000 fans, and the tifos the make are out of this world!!
Another big difference is in europe that there are Always away Fans following their Team all around the world
US are all about money and marketing, Europe is about pure passion and love for the sport
Best thing the Americans can do is your own thing. One of the reasons European fans look down on US fans is that the American fans look like they're trying to copy European fans and it comes off as really fake. And remember ultras and violence has ruined clubs and sometimes leagues. This has led to tighter controls. So appreciate your freedoms and don't ruin it. Celebrate your uniqueness.
Exactly. And don't forget, that Europeans used to kill each other in wars for so long. Look at Ukraine vs Russia. That is why so many Fans go to a match in the spirit like they would go to a mini war.
The US fans go to a match and sing the Anthem together to unify the complete stadium. Why should they hate each other?
You did step up. A lot. I was shocked. Like you guys said. It’s in the blood in Europe. In time you guys be more crazy. ❤
In Spain and Catalonia nowdays is forbidden bring fireworks and smoke and If you bring a firework in the stadium throw out from the stadium.
The typical chant of Barça that singing in the stadium is "Un dia de partit" this chant singing around the stadium is so beautiful ❤️.
The US boys have learned a lot, that's international football enthusiasm
14:25
we usually turn back when our team is outplaying the other one, like 3-0, 4-0 ...
As a 3rd league italian ultra i can say that usa athmosphere is the one in kids football
„Restrictions are pretty bad in the us“
Heres the point: its illegal to bring flares etc to games in europe. Also the support is all made by the fans themselves. Finances, creating a tifo etc. none of this is made by the club or any commercial partner. All pure passion by the fans. US could never match
You need to appreciate that it’s the fans who putting on the show not the clubs themselves, it’ll be a fan association who plan those events at BVB!
You, the americans , you dont have fans they are supporters . The fans and ultras are in Europe and South America . Best fans are in South America and the best ultras in Europe
In America there is only money in sports while in europe there is both money and passion.
I see the US fans are trying but there are some things you need to know. In europe this is not just sport, your father takes you to the team he supports. But there's also politics and religion. In Glasgow, Scotland, Celtic were started as a charity to raise money for poor Irish (Catholic) immigrants, Rangers the local Scottish (Protestant) team got a lot more support after this. In Spain, Real Madrid were the favourite team of military dictator Francisco Franco while Barcelona were from a (would be) autonomous region. Some fan groups are neo-nazi while others are anti fascist! For many people it's much more than sport!
Modern "anti fascists" = fascist communists lol
US v Euro Fans?
It's not even a competition.
That's why the super bowl needs a half time show while the champions league final does not
When the US introduce relegation to/promotion from lower divisions, then you'll know the true fans of your team/club.
It says it all that the dork wearing a scarf, screaming into a microphone is considered good 😂
The difference is that we Europeans , we love this sport. You love the show. There is a lot more that football clubs. We scream for city’s, regions or countries. We don’t do it to show on Tv. We do it because we love it
For your information. If Borussia Dortmund the yellow black Team wins on the next weekend, they won the Championship of Germany. One week later Eintracht Frankfurt, the jumping Fans, can win the Cup-final. If this happens the two fight for the Super-Cup. And I hope someone films this Game and the Fans.
Astonishing. The US soccer fans are learning to show a little more passion...
Don't be too hard on the US fans, here in Europe we've had a lot of years of this. Next we have to teach US soccer fans street fighting without weapons. 🙂
Boy with mic is like Gru tolking to minions about moon mission 🤣🤣👌
It is a thousand years of war and fighting for your city, Town, Village, hence the passion is pure people will die for their city, In the USA well you had one fight at home in 1770's then 1861 and that's it, your passion is for Apple pie and Burghers
"That guy" from Seattle is the one who started Ultras in the U.S. (without knowing)
I'm italian and I adore our fans but I have total respect for gree,turkish fans...so powerful.🇮🇪🇬🇷🇹🇷
These shows are made by the fans themselves and they keep creating new ones for every game, especially for the really important ones.
Nope, no support from the stadiums. Ultras are 100% self sufficient and frequently actually brake stadium rules. This I think also highlights the stark difference to most US sports where fan interaction seems to be orchestrated by the team/venue. People looking at a jumbotron waiting for instructions when to clap your hands. European football fans have their own organisations separate from the team they are supporting. Disagreement between club/teams and their supporter groups are common and almost never friction free. This adds to the pressure on the players and the coaches.
we have to remember that the culture is literally hundrets of years old here in europe and america is kinda on the way to get there but it takes time
