TH-cam MUTED Part of the First Chant/Song due to copyright I guess.. My Apologies. The Rest of the video should work correctly.
Werent You suited for nfl? Youre a big dude
Some teams have a known song assosiated to them, that they always play before the game, and fans sing along.
I’m a Celtic fan (the first clip that got muted). It’s called you’ll never walk along. Glad you got to hear it. It feels amazing to be part of it. Football fans grow up hearing these songs at games. They are just passed on to the next generation.
Here is an example of volleyball fans in Poland (50,000 people) th-cam.com/video/hszyydDmgQ8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=siatkowka24 Erik Shoji, an American from Hawaii, plays professional volleyball in Poland
M'y post disapears😭 pilou pilou from TOULON RUGBY OR LENS FOOTBALL LES CORONS are crazy but most crazy supporter are grec and turkish basket

These crowds aren't there to see a half-time show, and there's no downtime for TV commercials... They are there for their teams and the sport...
What actually is Suprising to me, is that whole world loves football and have truly great fans. Asia, Southamerica, Europe Africa. All have they Ultras and Football traditions and somehow USA misses the boat.
No it's a weekly thing in football. Not an advert. In every ground. My team is in the 2nd league in the UK so a bit shit. The stadium is full of 45,000 people every week in unison chanting.
Hmmm kinda a blanket statement, I'm from Leeds but I was recently in Seattle and went to a seahawks game and that was LOUD!!!
@@asjaosaline5987the premier league struggles apart from liverpool perhaps. Flares and choreography is what I love
@@asjaosaline5987 USA does not miss any boat, football is not tradition.
Football in Europe is country against country, you forget that we have centuries of bloody history and wars and resentment. Baseball has nothing to do with it, you play among yourselves, you speak the same language, you have the same very short story .A city against an other city ? that's a joke, they are all the same people !
When sport is entertainment vs when sport is passion. Main difference.
Yeah. That's why the Super Bowl halftime show is the biggest event in American sports and obviously way more important than the game itself. It's said that there are even more people watching the show on TV than there are watching the game. That speaks for itself.
th-cam.com/video/FUKEQteTMdo/w-d-xo.html
Not sure which one is better, though.
business vs. passion
BIG money versus a few countries where FC (football CLUB!) still has a meaning
I highly recommend 😉checking out St. Pauli!
YNWA
Football stadiums (at least in Europe) are built to accommodate the jumping crowd. There were a few incidents, and everyone knows the fans cannot be stopped, so the architects did their job instead.
Yeah, especially after what happened at the Heysel...
if I remember correctly, Eintracht Frankfurt would come later where you can see how the stadium moves when you jump
but it could also have been in another video
@@onnasenshi7739 Old Cologne Muengersdorf (not the new Arena) also had the upper ranks jumping by quite a margin!
Furiani….1992…
"architects" do shit... it is
structural engineer who must do their jobs in the order to stadion survive fans
The "fires" are emergency flares, or how they are called in English, they are not alloved in the stadiums, but they are part of the culture, and fans are good at getting them in.
and no matter how much you police it they will make their way into the stadiums
He asked how they carry the huge flags in the stadium ... he should ask what people smuggle inside those huge flags hahaha
Same in Germany. But we call the "fires" "Bengalos". It comes from "Bengalische Feuer" (Bengal Fire, I guess.).
We call them 'Romerlys' (Roman lights/candles) in Denmark. That's why I was in alot of doubt, what to call them in English.
@@batluckieswe call them the exact same thing in French : feux de Bengale.
US sports events: music, advertisement, cheerleaders, family event
Elsewhere: *tribal warfare*
Literally... the tradition comes from the equivalency with the Roman coliseums... that tradition continued on but now with different sports, techs and people
Football is religion in Europe, it's not just a sport. In Italy there's a saying: "In life you might change wife, job or even country. But the faith for your club will never change". And so it is. It's an imprinting you have as a child and stays with you all your life no matter how good or bad the club is doing, that's a secondary aspect.
The same in Slovakia, it's just not said that way, but everyone knows it. My grandfather is a Slovan ultras, so is my father, and so am I. If I changed the club, it would be a betrayal.
People say the same in Portugal.
With that said. Avoid Tottenham.
Same in the UK. You never, ever, EVER change which club you support.
The same in Portugal!!
Football here in Europe is a religion.
I tend to say it's what we replaced most wars with, down to against 'those §%$/§/ on the other side of the hill/river/forest/whatever" considering the low leagues.
all about that bragging right@@walkir2662
@@walkir2662that’s pretty much exactly how football started
Basketball for my country, but yeah
In South America too…
The songs are mostly written by people from the ultras, some by normal fans and sometimes they are simply existing songs that become an anthem for the team. Why everyone knows the lyrics is easy to explain, every time you go to the stadium you hear the songs - they are songs that have been sung in the stadium for generations. If there are new songs, they are usually printed out on paper and distributed in the stadium. and now to what really impressed you, synchronization, if you look closely you usually see 1-2 people with a megaphone in the first row. They say which song is being sung and start singing, everyone else joins in. And to keep the whole thing on track there are usually 2-4 drums.
But most of the times (at least what I notice every time), the drums aren’t needed. The megaphones absolutely are, but the rest is done by the fans.
we in Djurgården(Sweden) dont use drums, its only crap fans (hahaahahah) that need drums :D
You’ve never been to the kop have you. No organisation. Just instant synergy. I was there for the first time YNWA was played by 3 week it was our anthem.
But we are good at using songs that were in the charts in the 1960s. One time Man City goal keeper went to throw out instead he threw it into his own goal.
At the kop end they immediately sang carelessly hands a song that had been in the charts quick witted. And we will always clap the opposite goal keeper when the arrive at the kop end.
Good to know, I'll tell the guys with the drums next time I'm at the stadium. 🤣
@@larsmagnusson8580
songs... 7:55 Lazio's "anthem" is a little different from the others. "Avanti ragazzi di Buda..." is an anti-communist song (about the Russian trampling of the 1956 Hungarian revolution) Since then, Lazio's "anthem" has been sung at every match.
It's worth checking out the translation!
an uncle of mine went to Manchester, UK to catch his favourite team Man United live. He was in a jersey and everything. While heading to the toilets during half time he was promptly stopped by two police officers carrying MP5s.... 'mate, that's for the visiting team. might want to reconsider heading down there looking like that!'. Football is no joke in Europe
Football directs the warring tendency of Europe. 😃
American, right? Yeah. Your uncle nearly died.
If it was a rival team (like liverpool) you could compare that to going to an arabian neighborhood with an Israel flag.
@@11mousa And the english are soft. Imagine this but in Poland, Turkey or Russia.
@@readsomebooks666
Nope Nordic country
It‘s funny that you make me - as a European - realize how impressive the vibe in our stadiums is. We just got used to it. Thank you!
A current example of German fan culture. At the moment, massive fan protests are taking place in every professional game in football. Thousands of tennis balls fly onto the courts, which always leads to interruptions in play. Most recently, a match even had to be interrupted for more than 30 minutes because the fans staged a continuous bombardment with tennis balls.
In the U.S., this would probably trigger a massive police operation.
Well, it would trigger a massive police operation over here too, but everyone knows what will happen if they dare to enter the stands.
Not saying the german police forces couldnt win that battle in the end, but the price for that would be too high.
We will never take a single step backwards!
@@xXGamerXx71 germann police is there to de-escalate and mostly make sure people are safe. As long as there is no threat to safety they will mostly stand by and try to keep crowds calm.
American police seem to always be looking to escalate and for a reason to bring out their big toys.
@@xXGamerXx71 Divided in colours - united in the cause 💪💪👹
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 apart from most of the time German police does nothing but escalate and generate violence when they are in the stadium like at St. Pauli vs Hannover or they harrass fans like they did at Wolfsburg vs Werder.
The Fans von by the way.🎉 They managed to Stop a big Investor from joining the DFB, they want IT to be about the Sport,and the Fans...Not profit
Don't forget we've had stadiums in Europe since Roman times, the Coliseum is still standing, so we in Europe have a long history of this type of thing.
As do the Americans who have a eurocentric tradition and ethnicity. As a european(dutch) to another european: don't be pompous. You had no hand in making history so take a seat. One thing the dutch hate: pretentious snobbery. Most football fans can't even spell "Colloseum" but are experts at destroying public property. How civilized. At least the Americans actually sit, eat and just watch the game.
Mob behaviour has always seemed lowbrow to me. Like a bunch of demented sheep jumping and bleating on commando...But that's just my opinion, I don't do well in groups and pack behaviour.
Yeah, but that's kind of a mute point. Most Americans share that same history, since they are simply Europeans that started a new country. You're talking about the colisseums of some 2000 years ago, while Americans and Europeans only became a separate over the past 400 years.
Edit: grammar
@@anglo-dutchsausage344 well they clearly forgot how a good sports crowd looks on the way over ;P
This
in the UK clubs usually hold a minutes silence before games to remember a special person that passed away, for the most part its impeccable from both sets of supporters
As a Pole in the Legia Warszawa/Poland it was commemorating one of the uprisings in Poland during WW2. And yes we are that crazy. You know there is a game in town miles away from the stadium.
Most of football fans in Poland think Legia is trash and their fans are morons, but I don't think anyone in the whole freaking country was saying a bad word about that sector commemoration.
@@ZiobroV The Germans and Austrians are always used to marching and singing under a flag, history tells you that, thats why they have so many of thier teams in this list 🤣
You have no idea of the energy of such crowds
Been once in Milan to see a famous game between Milan and their "archnemesis" Turin..
The whole STADIUM was shaking ! I felt the litteral stand shake and move under the crowd chants and jumps
It was surreal
There is no team called Turin! & Milan’s biggest & fiercest rivals are inter 🤷🏼♂️
He obviously meant Juventus from Turin.
He just means Juve.
Je tiens juste à dire que ton pseudo est exceptionnel 😂
Actually there is, in Italian - Torino. @@thesc0tsman1
In the US there are crowd animators at sports games. In Europe the officials are trying to tame the crowd down, not hype themup even further
there are videos where you can see the concrete structures flex a couple inches. built to handle the craziness .
also the fire is handheld flares.
Now you see why europeans are triggered when US calls football "soccer" ! We are maniacs.
Interestingly, Americans are no to blame for that... term soccer there came from Brits after abbreviating original name of the game... Association Football to Assoc, then to Soc, and finally to Soccer. In UK term football once back in time was used for what is now known as Rugby.
@@biostarstepaThe problem is Brits has abandoned the term for a long time already, why Americans choose to be British in this particular thing is beyond me!
@@f1r3hunt3rz5 We can just guess. Development of football game worldwide through history kinda skipped USA so they haven't adjusted to new terminology. Soccer just got domesticated term there and survived 'till nowadays.
You also must see American vs European Basketball fans.
Yeha. Saw a Greek basketball clip and was like god damn
And hockey!
In the US, sporting events for most attendees is just a bit of entertainment and you go there to chill and eat some wings while watching the game at the same time. In Europe, people go to the games to really support their team and to enjoy the competition. And many people are literally born into being fans of a certain team, and the passion runs deep.
Yeah, like I was only 2 years old when my dad took me to a football match of our local football club for the first time. Much smaller club and much smaller stadium, but known in Finland for having fanatical fans. It made such an impression on me that I fell in love with the game. I still go to matches with my dad when I go back home in the summer.
Sunderland til I die....never going to win anything, never going to experience success or glory but I am in it til the bitter end...
I prefer the American way. I would love to attend a football match but the feverish and passionate rowdiness just puts me off. Can I just sit and watch the match? That's why it's good they invented television😂 I think I could manage a tennis-crowd. Maybe😅
The chanting and singing in unison comes from the chanting you’d do with your fellow men before a battle..
and some of the matches ARE like battles
It’s 2 armies facing each other and that’s the vibe
Yes, fan songs are alike a "battle cry", I heard someone say that since we all want to live in peace, but still have our stone ages parts in the brain, football is the "clan vs. clan" battle which satisfies our inner cave man :)
Great comment, they sound and look as if they’re going to war. USA look like they’re going to church.
This video is a great example of the difference between "passion for our favorite club (Europe)" and "clubs that only aim to earn $ (USA)"
In Europe there is a huge cult for the Club and a fan never stops defending their Club, this passion is demonstrated by songs to encourage the team and also songs to discourage the opposing team.
I'm sorry but all clubs in EU are in for the money too. Some players earn more monthly then entire cities, they really, really are in it for the money. All sport is about money and money only. And soccer? It's been proven over and over results are often fixed.
in this video you clound see a protest against monetisation a football, poland, legia, this one with fat pig
@@wykydytron results fixed😂??! What did you drink??!
@@wykydytron 🤦🏼♂️
European fans have no comparison to South Americans. Took my English brother in law for a game in Brazil and he got scared with the craziness.
Money VS Passion,
Beside this game replaced european tribal wars in a way...
Whilst watching I was just thinking that the attitude, motivation and energy of a country at a football match reveals how they would be going into war. I think the USA would be very half hearted, they seem to lack a basic energy and savagery, which we English and Europeans have just below the surface.
It is often said that football has the power to create a community like nothing else in the world. The manifestation of this can be seen in this video.
Yeah,.... don't....
You forgot about teams rivalry than can get really really nasty and gnarly...
Football/soccer didn't actually do that... Other sport do, but football never
In Rallying for example you can watch fans of another team helping the cars when get stuck, or rivals teams share components during an assistance, or other car have problems, that's simply unthinkable in football/soccer
Where are the women and children? 🧐
@@zanegravenall9522 on the stands
@@chacaf22 never? what about stuffs like Welcome to Wrexham?
@@Scenario8 what about people get killed by supporting the wrong team at the wrong moment?
That's why FIFA it's putting so much emphasis on Fair Play, and love together and try to stopping the rivalry between players and teams, because off the yard things got really nasty, and still happening in 2023...
i lived a 15 minutes walk away from the Johan Cruijf Arena, its the homebase of the footbalclub Ajax Amsterdam. during big matches (top of the national league, champions league, european cup ) the glases in my cupboard were tingling after a goal from the shockwave of the sound. (the polish one with the banner about WWII was on or very close to memorial day
@iWrocker i don't know how to use the telegramm app but im interested in being in contact with you
@iWrocker I don't know how to work the telegramm app but would like to be in contact.
Nice to see something from my club, AIK. And like you said the atmosphere is much better when you are actually there than what you get from the video.
Eintracht Frankfurts melody is from a famous swedish childrens film series, also quite known in America called Pippi Longstocking. (Pippi Långstrump)
Here comes Pippi Longstocking
Chola-hop, chola-hei, chola-fa la la
Here comes Pippi Longstocking
Here actually I come
Verse: it’s not too bad
I have a monkey, horse, and house
A carpet bag full of money,
Is also useful to have
Come on all people.
Every character I know
We’re going to create a ruckus*
Chola-hei, chola- hopsan-sa
The original Swedish ”leva loppan” - live like lice - transfers as being lively, bouncy, and it still has a childish bouncy flavour. It’s also appropriate, being an old term, bc the Pippi books were written in the 1940s.
I love hearing all these grown-up men chanting my favorite children's song. I'm Dutch, and we know her as Pipi Langkous.
In US, you join a miitia. In Europe, you join your local soccer club.
Football*
And I, as someone well outside the football bubble, have the distinct feeling that if clubs made the call to come to the armies aid in defending their country, a great number of fans would readily heed that call
*association football (soccer)
Not to be confused with Rugby Football (England RFU... rugby.... football.... union)
All names invented by us here in England.
@@HrLBollepretty much that's what happened in Ukraine in 2014, football ultras went to defend country since military and part of government was compromised by russians.
🦶🏻+⚽️ = FOOTBALL
Yay, I was wondering for months at this point if you'd react to European fans someday. Happy you did! To better understand, you have to realise some of the clubs are over hundred years old, some (like mine), were established even in the second half of the 19th century (it actually predates my country's independence lol). It is passed from generation to generation, our great grandfathers going to games with our grandfathers, grandfathers going to the games with our fathers, fathers going to the games with us,.. and it goes on and on.
What also differs to the American sports culture is ''relegation'', every year the teams on the last three spots of the league get kicked out and are forced to play in the lower leagues. On the contrary, if you are in the lower leagues and play well and end up on the first three spots, you get promoted to the higher league. This leads to intense rivalries, as nobody wants to go to the lower leagues, but rivalries can also be based (and combined) on many more factors, such as the location of the club (their stadium is on the other side of the river for example) or even political history of the clubs. And you can only imagine the rivalries that often do exist over 100 years at this point.
The term ''home advantage'' definitely has a meaning in football. The energy of the fans can push you even beyond the limits at high stake games. It's just beautiful.
You are absolutely right about the energy. It is incredible when you are inside of the crowd and sign with them. i get goose bumps by watching this. Reminds me of when I was young and regularly in the stadium
You get the vibe really well dude! Respect. Many spectators attend every Sunday, so repeating the same chants synchronisation comes naturally.
I bet they drink in the pub together too, on another couple of nights in the week. When we had industries in the UK they possibly worked together down the mines or at the steel works too.
I have had a season ticket at two of the clubs you see in this video. Ajax from 1997 to 2004 and Celtic from 2007 to 2010.
At Ajax I have seen the 'birth' of one of the songs, when we were waiting for the train to an away game a couple of the guys put their heads together and came up with the words, shared it with a few people around them and it was just a matter of time until everyone there knew it and was singing along
I heard it once described that:
Fandom in America is an individual thing, while the Fandom in the rest of the world is a Collective/Community thing.......Look at Me Vs Look at Us
Hence, that's why everyone knows the lyrics to the songs/chants
Its just the purest kind of passion and it starts in the streets before ❤ great reaction 👍
This is the second video from your content that I'm watching and I love it! I'm from Germany, so sorry for my english skills. The first video was the German beer tasting. You're so open to learn about other cultures in such a friendly way! The Abo/bell is activated! Go ahead like this bro! Best regards from Berlin
I dont know if you reacted to it, but US vs EU basketball fans is crazy... :)
8:23 that should be an actual air raid siren from back then, or at least a very clear recording and playback
It is an actual air raid siren but not from back then. These are emergency sirens we still use in Poland. Although, nowadays these are used mostly only to honor soldiers and civilian victims of the Warsaw Uprising. It's a tradition that on 1 August at 5 p.m. all such sirens in Poland sound for like a minute cause that's exactly when the Warsaw Uprising started in 1944. Often entire cities stop to a halt.... And I mean pedestrians, cars, people in shops and offices etc. It's a minute of basically standing still in silence and honoring the victims. And then everything goes back to normal. I think this particular match was supposed to start at 5 p.m. on the Warsaw Uprising's anniversary so the sirens you hear are not part of what the fans were doing but rather a background sound because that's all you hear in Warsaw at this particular moment.
7:33 Eintracht Frankfurt Stadium is quite insane. You can feel the whole stadium, especially the upper ranks, vibrating and shaking when they all jump
The flags are usually stored inside the stadiums in designated stoarge rooms for the different Ultras groups.
For me there are two kinds of football spectators: fans (the ones that jump on the stadium and chant in synchrony, making noise and being in party mode) and ultras (the ones that light flares and attack the other team ultras and broke things).
Here in Spain had years ago lots of ultras but we had an incident on the stadium: a 12 year old boy watching his team died when a wild flare impaled him. Everybody was angry, including the football asociation and the teams that abode ultras in their stadiums got fined with money and closures of the stadium (making them lose points at the competition). This incident curved our more agressive fan base.
We have "risky" matches (Barcelona/Madrid, Madrid/Atlético de Madrid...) but the police makes ring checkings, fan points in oposite parts of the city, put more police between the stadium and the meeting point of the fans, escort the more rowdy groups (ultras) and make them enter the stadium by different gates... All to try not to get an agressive enviroment.
I think it makes it more enjoyable for the fans. By the way, my father doesn't eat when his team loses a match and years ago I gifted him a tour at his team stadium (he lives at 600 km from the stadium and he never goes to the home matches) and I saw him nearly crying. He said it was the best birthday gift of his life. This is the level of a fan in Europe.
Congrats IWrocker for this video!!! amazing stuff, football is such a beautiful thing. Would be great if you react to South American crowds!!! same pasion, same noise, same devotion but....just different from the rest of the world!!! Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Chile, Perú, Ecuador... Too many countries and clubs to see! Greetings from Colombia :)
You got it totally right. Being part of such a crowd is the best feeling there is. It's hard to describe, you have to experience it in person. It's what I live for
Stadiums nowdays are specificly built for accoustics in europe. To boost the chants of the crowds troughout the stadium. It really roars..
Nice Video, in Germany there is a song where people sing that they don't want to be forbidden from setting off pyrotechnics. Everyone knows the song, we always sing it when we play our own firecrackers
I love that you have the Eintracht Frankfurt supporters in here. They are the best! We conquered all of Europe in 2022. Nur die SGE!
I am very happy to be European (German). First of all " I have a lot of respect for every fan of his team (city). You live and love it. In our beautiful country Europe, rivalries, fights and pride have always played a big role.
So also in soccer. It's beautiful hehe
for rb leipzig to ?
My dad played for a Swedish club, before his health prevented his further carreer. We the siblings, and my kids, support the same team. How could we not?
Sind wir schon soweit, dass sogar Deutsche Europa als ein Land bezeichnen?
We are lucky to pe european
Dont´t call it soccer! It´s Football!!!@@Andrei-ui1cw
Good video, funny to see a normal American react to the football ultras, but honestly most matches it goes even further, especially during a derby or Champions league match, love your content and how you try to broaden your worldy views!
My club was Ajax at the start, we had some crazy moments, let's forget last year.
The first Ajax clip was filmed in the parking garage, right?
@@carmenl163close, but no, it's under the bridge at the entrance that leads into the parking garage.
Echos of warrior spirit in Europe💪battles centuries ago here held the same vibes
And you haven't even seen Liverpool chanting "you'll never walk alone" (yes, the 60s song)! THAT ONE is REALLY impressive!
Man u?
You meant Liverpool 😉
@@ignatiuskhan Oops sorry. Yes, Liverpool
You mean Liverpool or Celtic FC .
YNWA is better known as the anthem of Liverpool FC, it is even spelled out their crest. the song was written by Rogers and Hammerstein back in the 40's for the movie Carousel, in 1963 Gerry and the Pacemakers a legendary band from Liverpool did a remake of YNWA and it was played at the start of the games at Anfield and from there it was adoped as their anthem. Other clubs more notable German club Borussia Dortmund and Scottish club Celtic FC also have it as their anthems but when sang at Anfield there is nothing like it.
It is a great feeling to be part of the crowd, cheering and jumping all together. Does not matter if you support a big or smaller team.
So great...the car license plate in the background is from Graz, Styria, Austria 💪🏻 you are my man 😂🥳
You're born with this passion, it's totally tribal! You live & breathe it. You ARE the team. ALL other teams are the enemy. It's that simple, really. 🇬🇧🥊🇬🇧
You should watch something about Barras Bravas in South America... That is passion
Worked at the old Wembley at the Cups and England matches, you could not hear yourself think!! The chants go on and on.
Eintracht Frankfurt fans are legend!
those are eintracht ultras. the fans are well sitted and comfortable lol
@@mariusolivaric3262 nah they are harder to catch during the game but they are Alternate singing with the ultras and they support very good in comparison to other clubs
@@inscopehd4858 the other day eintracht ultras refused to even enter into the stadium as a sign of complain cuz police beat them. guess what ? the atmosphere was ZERO, sounded like boring anfield or old trafford. NO ULTRAS NO PARTY
This is what true cultural understanding and unity is like.
No pyro, no party.
Ultras are like "biggest fans". They plan the choreographies, they create the big banners, they do the chanting. Some kind of next level of an ultra is a hooligan. These people literally fight for their clubs. The ultras kind of believe that their club belongs to them and that they should have a voice in the decisions of the club. I think sometimes they have a special access to the home stadium to place the banners.
yeah most big stadiums have a fan room for the ultras where they can have meetings and store their stuff;)
I’m Brasilian and have been to a fair amount of games watching my team, the sound is so impactful that so many people cry experiencing it for the first time
comparing actual passion and actual chants with "I believe that we will win"
😂
One of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen or heard.
They have absolutely no idea of what the rest of the planet feels about football.
Truly the world game.
Compare Super Bowl audiences to a World Cup final,or champions league final,the audience figures are in the billions world wide.
At least they’re trying😂 they’ve gotta start somewhere, I don’t know how the US could ever develop the footballing culture we have tho. I’ve been to MLS games it’s incredibly cringy, I’ve been to MLB games too, at all these sporting events the home and away supporters just sit together drinking and eating, people turn up to watch wearing random jerseys of teams not even playing, it’s super weird. There’s no energy or passion, you don’t feel any tension or anyone’s soul in it. It’s very much a pastime, an entertainment. Especially at the baseball, people arrive late, spend half the game at the food bars, people wandering around the merchandise stores inside the stadium during a game, people leaving early.
It’s no surprise they just don’t get the footballing atmosphere, plus they’re raised in this culture of having to pause games and have time outs etc to show commercials.
@@user-em1ig7xo9d Exactly. Americans believe they are entitled to be entertained. They don't gather, they individually go to stadiums to eat stadium food, drink stadium drinks, see halftime shows, cheerleaders, eat more stadium snacks, kisscams and eventually watch some sports.
Atmosphere is not created by eventually showing up and eating deep fried food. Atmosphere is created by every single visitor.
If there were chanting fans in the US they would quickly become part of the entertainment program that American visitors expected to happen.
And this is why the "best" chant that will ever be sung and heard in a US stadium is "I believe that we will win"
9:20 It's funny to see you react to those. And yeah, there's a reason they're called the "Ultras".
The closest I could related (to my knowledge of the current US) would be the Bills. Wifey is from WNY 😏
Huge Bear Down to you man 🤞🏻
Lots of love from Germany to you
Also, the drumming. That’s coming from the crowd too. 😂 there is always this one guy in the crowd with a drum and him and everyone in the stadium knows that his role is to keep the rhythm and start the chants. No one knows where this guy is from, how he ended up doing this, if he does it just for fun, if he’s hired to this, it is simply given that there is that one guy with a drum every time. You enter the stadium and immediately start subconsciously looking for him to be able to keep an eye on him to know what to shout next. 😂
im German and went to baseball game in Seattle, I found it incredibly weird, there was huge screens telling people when to cheer and what to cheer, it was more advertisement and superficial entertainment than actually enjoying the game. Definitely not doing that again lol
7:53 The Official Lazio song name is: Avanti Ragazzi di Buda (Budapest), (Előre budai Srácok). This song was written to revolution the 1956 struggle for freedom against communism in Hungary, and later became the official song of the Italian Lazio fans.
Forward boys from Buda,
Forward boys from Pest,
Students, laborers, operarians
The sun does not rise in the East.
We've been awake during the night
The night of a hundred months, maybe more
Dreaming of the glorious October's dawn,
The dawn of Hungarian youth.
I remember you had a rifle
Bring it to the square, I'm waiting for you,
Hidden among my school books
I'll also take a gun.
Six days, six nights of glory
This victory of us lasted
By the seventh day they arrived
The russians and their tanks.
The tanks crushed our bones,
No one is going to help us.
The world has just watched
On the edge of our ditch.
Girl, don't tell my mother
Don't tell her I'll die tonight
But do tell her I'm going up the moutains
And shall return by the spring
Comrads, we are doomed
Our revolution is lost
Soon we'll be blindfolded
And placed in front of a firing squad
Comrad, the squad advances,
The first and second one have fallen down already
Our vacation is over,
The honour of the world has been buried
Comrad, hide the rifle
The fountains will sing once again
And on this day, close our ranks
So we shall come back from the mountains
Forward boys from Buda,
Forward boys from Pest,
Students, laborers, operarians
The sun does not rise in the east.
NaziO* Italy's smallest and coldest team
It is a shame that that revolutionary song was taken by the right-wing Lazio fan base.
@@user-rr4um1pw3mHungarians don't seem to mind at all, quite the contrary ...
@@bluntedshit3563 If believing that makes your tiny wiener hard then sure mate, whatever floats your goat.
@@laziojohnny79 it really depends which Hungarian you ask... isn't Johnny?
7:19 Ich bin kein großer Sport Fan, aber ich war schon mehrmals beim Fußball, Eishockey und Basketball, überall ist die Stimmung so großartig, einfach genial ♥️♥️♥️
What you said about energy was spot on! Yes, you feel it in your chest but not only the vibrations of the roaring but also the emotions! That's why it's in sync and it just happens!! Nothing you see online will even closely prepare you for what you would experience if you go to a proper game! Feel free to contact me if you want to go and watch a german derby ;) The DFB Pokal is also just about to happen wich is Germanies Cup Final if you remember from one of your Videos
Liverpool Vs Dortmund you'll never walk alone. Can't beat it
Just bunch of drunk english hooligans shouting insults. A bit like american NHL fans going "Johnny, Johnny, Johnny" or "Bob is fat".
@@UltraCasualPenguin 😂😂😂
Im sorry as a german Football Fan is really sad for BVB to have such a lame song copyed and didn’t creat their own song
Football is not a sport. It is political in Europe. Ultra our way of life. (10.000 subscribers special) explains you more.
👍
There are two things I wanna say:
I am watching you for a long time it never occured to me that you have a beautiful heterochromia (like Tim McIllrath from Rise Against) with that striking blue eye, holy man that is so rad.
And the other thing. You are so cool with everything un-American. I know you are proud of your country, but still you can be impressed what other nations do. Not in the "we do it the best'" way but "holy crap this is amazing I wish we would have here".
Pure respect!
nice reaction! more ultras/ european sports please😁
There is a video on youtube from Turkey where they are louder than a jet engine. I believe something like 113 decibels.
You miseed the best imo belgrade Zvezda and Partizan are the wildest .. btw what kind of trucker do you got it looks very good greetings from Czechia.
By trucker do you mean my cap 🧢 or hat? If so it’s the NFL team Chicago Bears official fight cancer hat, thus all the colors representing the different cancer ribbons.
@IWrocker I meant that yeah 😅 actually looks very cool unfortunately I can't buy it here .. keep the content 👌 love the videos especially the škoda ones ✌️
@zumpic 7695,thank you bro you mention it.Here is a chant from Zvezda fan,oooo Uefa mafia,Uefa mafia,Kosovo je Srbija.Peace
You should do a deep dive into this topic. The chants with lyrics video's are awesome to learn the passion
from spain, nice video!! football is a deep feeling
You should watch: Ultras our way of life!
That’s Not Fire that are Flares
In the Besiktas game, where the guy shushed the crowd, they were chanting and jumping like that...during the warm up! The game hadn't even started yet.
Going to the stadium it's an amazing experience, although sometimes it can be a bit dangerous. The chants are learned by going and listening and singing along! Sometimes they put lyrics for you to follow along and sometimes you just go with the flow 😁 it motivates your team and intimidates the opponent
In Europe, football is clan warfare, most clubs have a rich history some of them well over a hundred years. The clubs with the most ''passionate' ultra's often come from more working class area's
Hope it will get to Liverpool fans singing “you’ll never walk alone”🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Nothing else like it.
That USED to be the case but with so many Tourists there now,you only see a handful of scarves yet ALL Celtic's 60,000 fans hold scarves aloft AND they cut the P A System 1/2 way thru' and it is just the power of the crowd where Liverpool drown the crowd with the tannoy.
Still, even the Liverpool "tourist" can still be loud. Check out the YNWA in Australia for example.
@@Isleofskye man, I first heard it in 1985. Not many tourists than..
@@Zotrax1946 If you put "Liverpool F C-The Kop Crowd" from 1964 and watch 28,000 behind the goal swaying and singing in the 3-minute video, you will soon see that
THAT was The Kop,my friend.
@@Isleofskye great
if i was a player and had that crowd cheering for me and my team and encouraging me, i just could not not spend every single drop of my energy to make them proud of me. gives you that incentive to fight
You have to be in the stadium to understand just how much energy there is those crowds and chants.
Please Jan de rooy passed away at 80. The only one who could the Paris Dakar in a Semi (DAF) 1988
Really when? I have been asking him to do a video about the daf trucks of the 80s for ages. It would blow his mind.
Driving faster than the world champion rally in a semi@@rogerk6180
Did Ian ever react to the NFL game in Munich when Brady was there with Tampa? This shows, how Europeans bring quite a different energy to a game without any aggressive undertones like in Europea sports like football, baketball etc.
Enjoy your videos. Love seeing the bad boy audi quattro on your wall. Can u do a reaction to the sr71 la speed story. Know u enjoy all speed. Think u would enjoy. Thanks and keep up the good work 👏
Just a point of clarification songs like these or other chants will be during plays and throughout the full game. There may be some pausing during intense moments, but it wont be silent for any real length of time even when its small clubs playing. From the moment the fans leave their houses and meet other fans until they return home after a match they basically sing or chant continously. Most of the larger clubs will have an "official" song of sorts that basically every fan will know off by heart some clubs will have a full songlist of 12 or more. back in the day when tapes and cds were still pretty regular you could buy from fan clubs a full cassette or cd of the official songs you could be singing on the way to a match, the way home or at the match. I am not sure how it all works now I have not been to a game in many years due to health reasons.
If you thought this was crazy, you HAVE TO check out the European basketball scene.
It's like football times 3.
🧢
When Ajax got their new Stadium in Amsterdam about 25 years ago, people complained it lacked atmosphere. The supporters took it upon themselves to improve the atmosphere about 10 years later, the club cooperated, and now it's famour for it's atmosphere around Europe. I myself am I fan rather than a supporter, they don't always manage a good job, but they try to help their team win rather than reacting to the entertainment.
Basketbal in South-East Europe gets heated too.
It has a much bigger Problem it isn´t Feyenoord 😝
12:12 Lol, as an American that's what I've tried to explain to other Americans. They say "Looks like an ncaa game" I try to tell them "No.. An ncaa game is just the student section and they get tired after a few minutes.. for many of these European teams, it's the whole arena, for the whole game. It is not comparable." Here's to hoping more Americans get on board with MLS or just fan culture in general. I grew up on NHL and NFL and later went to football matches in Europe. If I had to pick between going to an NHL, NFL or European football game, I would pick European football every time.
@4:56 that's the away team, staying after the game, as a "we came, we conquered" gesture...
It is always fun to see a football chant to the Pippi Longstocking song. 😂
(Här kommer Pippi Långstrump" (around 7.40)
Dude you cannot imagine the feeling and the energy you receive......it's really powerful and overwhelming.......it's a huge sensation. And the firework.......they are not allowed......and the club pay the fine......😂😂😂😂 and that's it....the direction they didn't have to say nothing......the club is ours......it's not their club.......that a very important thing to understand.....club are the property of the ultra and the fan......and they know it.
The visual art and demonstrations like in Poland are before the game, the chants happen both during the game and after, they will chant to support the team during the game, and like in Napoli they will chant afterwards a city/club anthem in celebration of an important win
Thanks for this, my friend and I enjoyed your reaction but you missed The BEST the Best 5,,,. lol The next one that you actually stopped on was Dynamo Dresden where the crowd zigzagged in synch in all directions but the loudest was Red Star Belgrade in their second video. The first was fine but the second one from those Srbians to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was incredible and you missed The Turkish one, which showed everyone moving and the top tier, visibly shaking. The final Greek clip showed the players, barely visible, as the whole stadium was full of smoke. :)
7:40 The melody is from Pippi Longstocking - The 'Here comes Pippi Longstocking' song 🤣
I hope you can experience a soccer game like that once over here in Europe or here in Germany! Love the vid
I used to live only a couple km away from the FC Utrecht stadium but i could hear them sing when the wind was blowing in the right direction. Didnt need to watch the game to know if they had scored😂
The energy helps the teams, so the fans take it serious.
