    Beer and football are both culturally British things separately but mix easily and well. However I would say the things you are seeing in this video are more of a combination of passion for the team or sport and mob mentality, leading to creative scenes that mainly have no lasting damage.

    The jnterestjng part is that there's strictly no alcohol to be had in the stadium before, during or after the match. Any alcohol has to be consumed away from the ground. Many will go for a drink before and after the match.
    As a result, the matches where there are the strongest rivalries are almost always very early kick-offs so they don't have as much time to get drunk before the game.
    But, the songs will be sung no matter what state of inebriation there ie.

    The Falklands war was in 1982. Over 250 UK military died. Many remember it and the loss to their families of soldiers and sailors, many Welsh. (The French President Mitterrand embargoed the sale of French weapons to Argentina but had already supplied Argentina with Exocet missiles that killed over 80 Brits. The French owned company that made the Exocets breached the presidential embargo, stayed in Argentina during this war, continued to train the Argentinians in their use of Exocets and somehow 3 launch sites that didn’t work and couldn’t be fixed by the Argentinians before the war,suddenly started working and launched missiles.)

Anyway I moved to Somerset at 25, they're all Liverpool or Man U down here 🙄. We took our grandkids up to Newcastle. My husband and their mum, surprised me with a tour of St James' Park. So now, they tell their Dad and Grandad, who are staunch Liverpool fans, that they support Newcastle. That went down like a lead balloon 😆😂. And yes I teach them the clean chants, all the time. They've also spoken the odd Geordie word, since learning to talk.

    Gordon Strachan = Scot who played for various Scottish and English teams, notably Manchester United and Leeds United (famous for being enthusiastic tacklers, enjoying the odd internecine punch up now and again). Then Gordon went into football management.
    Here fans are referring to his management of the Scotland team 2013-2017. 2018 the World Cup took place in Russia. Hence the Scots ‘aren’t going to Moscow’.
    Scotland vs England matches are infamous. Although the Scotland team rarely features many Premier League players of huge note, the Scots play like men possessed and as a team. This World Cup, though, the Scotland team includes Andrew Robertson of Liverpool (yay); John McGinn of Aston Villa; Scott McTominay of Man Utd; Billy Gilmour on loan to Norwich from Chelsea and Kieran Tierney from Arsenal and the only PL player I’ve heard of who’s from the Isle of Man.
    Scotland might qualify for the World Cup group B with play offs against England, USA and Iran. The Scots have to beat Wales and Ukraine first to get into this group stage.
    Nothing much rhymes with USA but there’s a fair chance there’ll be a chant featuring their nickname. NB - ‘septics’ doesn’t rhyme with much either.

The first game he ever watched was Manchester City competing with another team. Manchester City won and from that day he supported them. They've got great colours as well - pale blue and white. You may be a little shy or inhibited but if you came over to England specifically to watch an England game you would throw caution to the wind; I could see it as you sang along and clapped.

As these fans spend quite a bit of money to pay for tickets, travel and chat with fellow fans, their entitled to at least one drink, unless they are the designated driver. At a reasonable guess its 90% have had one alcoholic drink.

    Scotland = for some reason best known to themselves -‘Yes, sir! I can boogie’ by Baccarat. Great song.
    Ireland - ‘Sweet Caroline’, although the English have pinched that now.

    To answer your question: These chants exist without alcohol. They are also fuelled by alcohol. They're deliberately offensive and also tolerated. It's slightly difficult to explain. You have to be as offensive as possible (but creatively) and the better you are at cutting close to the bone without causing genuine insult is how the game is played. The sentiment is almost never meant, but it's how cutting your insult is. Banter is what it's called. Enjoy, foreigners!

    drinking before; again not everyone is on the booze!

    If you want to pick a team I would suggest to start with “a clueless American’s guide to the Premier League”

    20% alcohol, 80% emotion and belonging. Its easy to get swept up in this without a drop of booze.
