Agree with all of that but nearly 400,000 watch football matches in London per match. Imagine if London had 1 team with 350K to 400K average gates, they'd make Barca and Madrid football attendances look like small fry non league clubs. The only down side is that there are so any other distractions in London that I don' t think it's as passionate as other cities in England never mind abroad and as we as we all know Buenos Aries is incredibly passionate.
Im going to London in the next few months and I can't wait. I love the US and I've been to NYC, DC, and Chicago several times and I can't wait to see the differences and the similarities. Seriously can't wait.
This series is fantastic! Really love the idea of it and really shows what's unique for each city. Great for the football fan looking to go to away games or random trips. Well done!
+Douwe Age Dotinga If someone says Milan they are always talking about AC Milan. If someone is taking about Inter Milan they will say Inter. Just for future reference
In November, I saw West Ham United play Everton at Boleyn Ground! It was my first time seeing a professional match live, and it was magical! Both fanbases were singing and chanting, just having a great time. Having a pint at the Boleyn Tavern before the match was a lot of fun, too!
The will be a lot of envious fans disputing London being the capital of football but it is. No city has more big clubs in one city. There are 19 professional clubs that are all well supported. There isn't a city close that has so many big clubs and so many well supported clubs.
Well, lets take a look at Buenos Aires: there's Boca, River Plate, Racing Club, Independiente, Velez Sarsfield, San Lorenzo. That's six clubs just off the top of my head and these are all big, successful clubs (continental champions and the like) with large stadiums supporters base. That's without even mentioning any medium and smaller clubs.
narcolonarcolo Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham. They are all in the top 14 richest teams in the world, all have continental titles and no disrespect but it harder to win in Europe than South America. All have sold out stadiums .
+narcolonarcolo Except their are 30 teams in the Argentinian top tier and only the first two tiers are professional in Argentina contrary to 4 (really 5 now) in England.
Sheffield! Birth place of football, one of the best and most passionate derbies in the world, great music scene, great pubs & beer, the first goal in the premiership! It's a must for next season!!!
London is anything but the greatest Footballing City, even in England people in the North and specifically in Manchester are so much more passionate about their Football which is obvious by 90% of the teams up North making a lot of noise, whereas in the South some of the people come across as arrogant and this shows at most of the London clubs games where it sounds like a funeral with the exception of a few teams such as West Ham and Palace
Places like Newcastle and Liverpool are so much more passionate about football than London. (Don't know enough about Manchester). In Newcastle and Liverpool though, the whole city revolves around football. Their is nothing else to talk about and it unites the whole city's. You don't need 15 clubs to be the best footballing city.
+Kieran Ross Exactly, I live in Manchester and it might not be at the level of Newcastle and Liverpool in terms of the whole City, but the majority of fans from City, United and even Stockport County near where I live are Football mad and when it comes to matchday everyone comes together
sam cohen Sounds quality. These type of cities, your Newcastle's, Liverpool's, Manchester's, are so much better than London. Just because London has like 20 clubs it doesn't mean its the best footballing city.
+Kieran Ross are you having a laugh?! Manchester are far more passionate than any London club, especially Arsenal who have shit atmosphere at the emirates
i visited London last year in October/November with 3 other mates all the way from Australia and it was the best experience ever! Even though i witnessed chelsea lose to Liverpool, i would definitely do all that again!
+Randy & Andy Calm down, only a joke. And no, I'm not an Arsenal fan. I'm an Ajax fan from the Netherlands. And the 'stereotype' of foreign fans doesn't only apply to Chelsea but also to the rest of the PL top 5. And I made the remark because you mostly see foreign people commenting about how much they love an English team and the passion they have for the team.
Erik Schotanus I watch premier league fanzone, and I see people from around the world supporting the usual suspects (Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Liverpool) and others supporting Newcastle, Sunderland and Tootenham. I actually saw a Nigerian who supports Sunderland.
I think London has the 2nd most football clubs in the world (at least at professional level) only next to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In London I believe West London has the most condensed area of Football clubs with 4 football clubs all relatively close to each other (QPR, Chelsea, Fulham & Brentford)
By the time you visit The City of London, Central London,The Docklands area and The Suburbs you will realise that London appears to go on for ever. That is as well as N/S/Eand West London. I have had 63 extraordinarily stimulating years here but emigrated from immigrant " Inner" to traditionally indigenous " Outer" 34 years ago and it has been brilliant !
This question could go on for a lifetime, my guess would be the birthplace of the professional game Sheffield. Without Sheffield their would be no such question. Even the first rules of professional Football was named the Sheffield Rules. London though, the first versions of Football was banned their in the 1300's. Sheffield still holds some of the best fans in Sheffield Utd and Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield Football Club is still going.
I don't know which one is the most passionate city for football (maybe Glasgow, isn't it?). But the most footballing in the world (in number of professional football clubs, and stadiums) is London, no doubt, but maybe you could compare to Buenos Aires metropolitan area, in Argentina, they have a lot of teams there. Both urban areas are smaller than where I live (São Paulo, Brazil), but have more football clubs. We have "only" three big teams here (Corinthians, Palmeiras and São Paulo) and two little professional ones (Portuguesa de Desportos and Juventus). Congratulations for your videos! From a Brazilian Newcastle United fan.
The OLD DEN was 10 times more sinister. 20 times more unwelcoming and 100 times more intimate and passionate and why MILLWALL broke The ( then ) Football League record going almost 3 successive seasons unbeaten there. USED to have one of the Top 3 best atmospheres for a Midweek game in England.
Go to Brussels! The passion of RWDM and Union Saint Gilleoise is immense despite playing in the lower leagues, also since the second division is relegating 8 teams you might want to go before the league is ruined by the end of this season.
He's right about the fact that both Manchester and Liverpool were very successful football cities. But this video is just made to let people know that you can watch so many different teams in London.
+King KobiGames (KingKobiGames) It's not about the number of clubs. Its about the passion for football, but I do agree with you Manchester and London definitely aren't the best footballing cities.
+King KobiGames (KingKobiGames) how do Manchester have 3 clubs? Man Utd, Man City, Bolton, Oldham, Rochdale, Wigan, Bury, Stockport, Salford, plus loads more in the lower league. If you're saying they're in the greater Manchester area so they don't count then you realise none of those clubs in this video are in the city of London. They're all in boroughs which contribute to greater London so technically London has 0 clubs if you wanna go off that
Melbourne (4 million population) in Australia supports 9 team/2.5 billion dollar football competition pretty much on its own. Get your head around that. 4 million people, 9 teams, crowds average around 35000 people per game and a support base that is religious in its fervour for its sport.
What about Wembley Arena? It's near Wembley Stadium and has hosted multiple concerts by some of the biggest acts in music and some award shows as well.
I would love to go on a 1-2 week trip to England and watch as much soccer/football as possible. America, where I'm from, just doesn't have great options for a trip like that for any sport, it's too spread out.
London officially has over 100,000 " Places of Interest". Ask any 100 people who travel, at random, and they will give you a different list of great Eateries,Pubs and places to visit etc...it has nearly FIVE HUNDRED combined " Villages"..
what about Loftus Road?? the most atmospheric ground in English football and right next to Westfield shopping centre, The BBC HQ, David Beckham's Pie and Mash shop and the iconic Springbok pub!!
Merseyside and Manchester? Liverpool where amazing in the late 90s and early 2000s and Everton from the 1880s to the 70s was the best English team around.
Next station BELGRADE, Serbia! It would be amaizing to see my home Town❤️ with Teams like, Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade or OFK Belgrade and many more!
This is why I love copa90! They combine my two favourite things geography and football!
🙌
What about Charlton, QPR and Watford?
Watford is not a London club. They're from Hertfordshire
OK but realistically anything inside the M25 is pretty much London.
Watford is in Hertfordshire
Charlton dont really count as a club too be honest
On one hand fair enough. But somehow, few places doesnt belong to the London boroughs.
What about QPR, Charlton, AFC Wimbledon and Barnet?
Bromley, Sutton, Daggers or Welling...
@@MegaBetico10 They said professional teams but AFC Wimbledon, Charlton and QPR should be here.
@@tkb4026 Barnet, Dagenham and Bromley are full time professional clubs, just not in the EFL at the moment. Welling and Sutton are semi-professional.
i would love to see one of these in buenos aires. so meny big clubs, the fans, the passion

I cannot imagine how much copa 90 were paid for the constant advertising
+LOLfatkid Nout.
+Sausages and Caviar Really? Why do it then.
+LOLfatkid All the places they advertised were small or independent places. I get the impression it was more just where they recommend
"What do you love about London?"
"I can't stand the place mate, it's a shithole."
bahahaha
Who will win the leauge ?
Like for Manchester City
Comment for Arsenal
Ignore for Manchester United
+Jack Coop arsenal
fuck man city
Coyg
+Draw my face mad?

Not only football but also cricket derby(Middlesex Vs Surrey) and Tennis(The Wimbledon & ATP Tour Finals)

Your impression of London's 500 combined Villages Michael ?

+Ellis Hampton Nice one Ellis, that's very lovely of you.
Should come down to Portsmouth one time, great passionate supporters and some cracking spots down by the seafront to eat!
Go to Milano full of history and the second Most sucsefull fottball team in the world :)

+Connor James Cheers mate!
Np boys, never one to not voice my opinion. x
I'm so excited to go to London. Football seems to ooze out of everyone. I want to go to every stadium and watch a game.
I am a huge chelsea fan who lives in Harrow, which is not far from Wembley, and this video makes me quite proud to be a londoner.
We finally spot a Chelsea fan is actually lives in London. A bit hard to find them nowadays, with all the tourists from Asia and the Middle East

I'm going to London in April and was wanting to go see a match. This was a handy guide cheers lads!!!!
I think you've sold me on where to live after university
This was great for me because I live in Scotland but I hope too travel to London soon to watch the club I support, Crystal Palace :)
"Can't stand the place, it's a shithole" LOOOOOL #WhatAGuy
I loved living in London for 4 1/2 years.
It would be awesome if you guys did Glasgow and Edinburgh!
+George Gornall Great shout.
It would be awesome if they did Barcelona aswell!
the vine pub and the bartons arms in the midlands are amazing
come to stoke-on-trent, there isn't much else other than vale and the potters.
That's cute

your from watford shut up mate
Fuck off
Seeing those old grounds makes me miss the old AFL grounds in Melbourne, at least the VFL and AFLW are using them
Love how they forgot Charlton as part of South London 😂
+CpfcNate Couldn't do everyone as it would have been five years long. Soz Charlton fans.
+Sausages and Caviar I know lads 😜
+CpfcNate score prediction vs spurs???
+Harry Kane head says 0-2 Spurs
Heart says 2-1 Palace
+CpfcNate They also left out Barnet, Wimbledon, and QPR; but yet, they're going to mention a non-league side in the East.
been to all grounds and as an arsenal fan I can definitely recommend skipping the emirates and watching dulwich hamlet. Great atmosphere
don't mention AFC Wimbledon then
ok i wont
I know nobody care about this, but in 3:41 they are drinking Tyskie, and I respect them for this.
Greatest Footballing City? All of London=20 League Titles!!! City of Liverpool just 2 teams=27 League Titles.
Come to Stoke on Trent, there is vale who have a great atmosphere and well stoke city is there too. But the culture around Stoke is pretty good!
Go down under mate
Go to Brussels! The passion of RWDM and Union Saint Gilleoise is immense despite playing in the lower leagues, also since the second division is relegating 8 teams you might want to go before the league is ruined by the end of this season.
Liverpool and Manchester are the two most successful footballing cities in the England, so no London is not the best.
+Jack Clark London has the most teams that are or were successful.
+Jonathan Denis no he's right
He's right about the fact that both Manchester and Liverpool were very successful football cities. But this video is just made to let people know that you can watch so many different teams in London.

Manchester United until I die!
This is awesome I loved this!
I am a Barca fan and honestly speaking the madrid teams individually will destroy London CI
*london XI
+Miniblitz nobody cares.
The BPL is the best league in the world but the best teams in the world are barca and fake Madrid
Not a true fan glory hunter
It doesn't matter how good they are
Excellent video, easily one of my favorites I really like this side of these two guys
No, Manchester and Liverpool is.
Manchester definitely isn't,Manchester have 3 clubs basically
You think Manchester and Liverpool are better for football. Ok... United are average and Liverpool are shit
+King KobiGames (KingKobiGames) It's not about the number of clubs. Its about the passion for football, but I do agree with you Manchester and London definitely aren't the best footballing cities.

Great to see 'The Albion' get some coverage Boing Boing!
I came expecting a video about football in London, but it was culinary and fun.
im an American but i love the Epl. i always thought it was just Arsenal Chelsea Tottenham and Westham
What a helpful video!
Please may you do a video on the rivalry between Manchester city and Manchester United and the city as it is unique and special
there is no rivalery, Mufc are rivals with liverpool
yes lovely mention of the albion pub!!!!!! :-)

Its definitly london or torino. Both cities are rich and have amazing culture
cheers for including millwall
I would love to go on a 1-2 week trip to England and watch as much soccer/football as possible. America, where I'm from, just doesn't have great options for a trip like that for any sport, it's too spread out.
I love this feature!!!
the best pub in east London isn't actually in east London, its Essex IG8, The Travellers Friend (the spivs) in Woodford!
Biggest team in London
1)Man United
2)Woolwich
3)Spuds

Thats amazing, there is like 20 clubs in the city. impressive.
Come to Bristol..the river Avon is at a better standard than the two football league clubs here but worth it anyway..decent city.
Do one about Lancashire, small place but loads of biggish clubs
i'm hoping to go london with few mates,thanks for the help
You forgot Dagenham on the map and Charlton, QPR in the reviews...
Bleecker St burgers are outrageously good!
