Most European, and South American, football fans have been brought up to support the same team that their parents and grandparents supported. It is in the blood, it is passion.
It was but give him a chance. It's different to all other crowds in the US from when I've been (I'm English). The crowd is orchestrated by whomever presses a generic button. It's easy to pile on the Americans and it does look ridiculous to the rest of the world but you've got to start somewhere. I think it's promising as America are trying to catch up with the world. It's ok to steal all our chants and it looks silly but a child looks silly and cute when it's learning to walk. American are finally joining in with what the world already knows.

@@lenahummer1503 Actually, there are some. The Dortmund cityscape makes it quite easy to reproduce attack paths of allied bombing runs in WW2 - one street, you have buildings from the late 18 to early 1900s, next block masterpieces of German 1950s concrete...

I was in Budapest back in February and one late night, my friends and I were walking back to the hotel, and suddenly we started hearing ominous noise in the distance, and as we were coming towards the hotel, it was slowly getting louder and louder. One person in our group was a bit nervous about it, I just said it's probably a football match. Turned out I was right, as we were some 3 km away from the Ferencváros Stadion, where Ferencváros was playing against Olympiakos Piraeus.
us stadions too, they must handle it or are not allowed to build xD its basic safety rules otherwise tenthousends could die. so stadiums are build since decades with puffer so they can give in. its absolutly safe
Stadium is build to flex, bend and move. If the stadium was totally stiff, then you would risk the concrete or metal to crack and collapse. So the art of stadium construction, is to make it of many sections, and have all sections being able to move independently of each other (just how bridges does, with their connection between bridge section and land section of the road surface)
What also makes a huge difference: Every club has a different anthem, so instead of singing the German anthem, you sing the club anthem. This also contributes to feel more connected to everyone around you and the club, as not everyone knows it
Hey genius, college football and basketball teams have their own songs too lmao. This comparison was so fucking lopsided. Yes I know this was a football/soccer comparison but you can't expect the same amount of passion when it's the 6th most popular sport in our country lol

When the Belgrade Arena (now called Štark Arena) in Serbia was being built there was a delay about a year long. They had to redesign and redo the upper stands for safety and structural integrity. They realized that in the original design the architect forgot to calculate in the force of thousands of people jumping up and down in unison. True story...
@@adrienchl4265 Exactly! And when they're tired of the fights & riots, the retired millionaires transfer to US clubs to enjoy a polite kickabout in their old age.
Ur so wrong. That's insane how clueless ppl are in those comments. USA has legit the best fans base in the world and not only for football but for every sport
@@antoineboudreault1935 so wrong?? Did you watch the video? You do know that Europeans think American fans are laughable and "cute".. haha And to be honest, this video isn't that good at showing European fans.. if you go to some of the Eastern European countries a football match can be like a warzone!! I suggest you carry on singing "I believe that we will win".. The best in the world.. bwahahaaha!!! 🤣🤣
In most of Europe, you are born into a club. It will follow you through life, in both good times and bad. It doesn't matter if it is a successful club, a small club, a big club, a poor club, a rich club,....You give everything for those colours. Club Brugge will be my team until the day that I die, it is just the way it is.
I lived in Germany back in the 90s when they won the World Cup. The day they won, the country went into party overdrive. It didn’t stop for two days! EVERYBODY in the country collectively screamed when the final whistle was blown. I have never seen anything like it before or since. IT WAS CRAZY!
"It aint even gonna compare!" That genuinely made me laugh. For Americans, sport is just a show. When Americans go to a game, they look at it as just having some light fun. Get some food, maybe have a little beer, and just enjoy themselves. For us Europeans, (Especially eastern Europe) its literally tribal. You will give your life to defend the honor of your city. You take your kids to the game to bond. For us, its a coming of age ritual that will initiate them into manhood.
@@hazar2354it simply is, as an engeneer (civil) i can garantee you that. I live in that city's stadium (Milan, IT) amd my eng professor was the one that help the renovation, very parcticular structure but indeed design to flex and absorb the energy by not resonance
@@sven_cb1 you're referring to professional sports in america, there's not much passion in the nba and nfl. All the passion is college basketball and football.
In the US: "I believe that we will win". In Europe, South America and in most of the rest of the world football is a kind of simulation of a warfare. Fans became all together with the colours of the team.
Simulation? What do you mean? It's an actual warfare at times. I grew up in a small city (60.000 people) with 2 football teams (both were and still are crap... in like 5th tier of Polish football and even our 1st tier is crap xD) which obviously hated each other. During the derby they had to bring like 5.000 police officers even from as far as 200km away just to keep the fans at bay and stop them from killing each other. It was an actual war with bloody cobblestones being torn from pavements and thrown at police. Obviously, the police had to deal with it somehow so they used everything they had other than live rounds. Water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, armored vehicles... Ah... Good old times.
@@feroxk.9266 Without fighting? That's cute! Not gonna happen in Eastern Europe or the Balkans xD but we made progress! In Poland football "fans" agreed to stop using knifes in fights. It's not much but it's better than actually stabbing each other to death xD
Omg USA is like bottom of the list when it comes to talent in Football! In England and and Europe we live and breath it! And as a footnote stop trying to take over everything, Football is ours! Your so backwards you even play your version of Football with your hands! Typical Americans trying to call Red , Blue just............ because!
4:40 Don't worry, these stadiums are actually meant to move like that to absorb the jumping (same goes for most of Europe). If that floor was completely stationary, it would have a high chance of breaking apart.
@@NKL-bl6wr It is, it's the same reason bridges are built to swing in the wind. If it was completely rigid, the tension and weight would cause a foundation to snap and the entire thing to collapse. They do, however, still need to have frequent inspections and checks because whilst it's better than building an entirely solid structure, they will inevitably be worn down over time and lead toward something breaking.
Not even Ultras even normal supporters clown him because he needs to think of the chant before he says it and then he proceeds to nod his head like he did something🤣
im from sweden. my entire friend group just came together when we were 10 years old and everyone picked a club and now everyone has to support the club for their entire lives.
"I believe that we will win!" is just... cute. All those American fans look like they understood the general idea that they should chant something but they have no idea what it should be. But no worries, they'll get there.
I honestly think it’ll be more dead than previous world cups especially 2010/2014 simply because of the unprepared infrastructure and sheer amount of corruption involved. It will be great non the less but slightly stained forever.
Here’s one of the most powerful quotes ever by the legendary Uruguayan poet and writer, Eduardo Galleano: “in his life, a man can change his wife, political opinion and even his religion, but never his football team.” Says it all really bro. 😎🤟😜
Short and simple: USA = commercial, flags and scarfs given to the fans to make a show out of it, music through the speakers and everyone just npc's through it Europe ( defo also South America and North Africa ) = passion. Its that simple. It's in our blood, it's in our history. There is nothing that compares to the love and dedication a football fan has to his club over here.
"How did you bring such giant flags?" 😂 I've seen games where flares and rockets are fired 😂 Pitches covered in smoke and fog and the game goes on 😃 Football is life and war in Europe 😃
@@moondaughter1004 Yea, I had to take a break from the IFK Göteborg games because every single game there would be fires and smoke. It's both amazing and irritating.
@@ThisIsMeAndNooneElse wow that must be one hell of an experience. I haven't been to a football match in ages but last time I went to one there were no flares
There is a saying under Feyenoord fans at euro matches "no pyro, no party" The club actually makes room in its annual budget for the fines they get from UEFA for flares and such.
I loved the ending with my country's anthem. I'm Romanian and I remember going to a match, Romania - Netherlands and I couldn't get in before the match started, but I could hear our anthem echo from the outside. Tens of thousands of people singing our anthem, like an army marching to war. It was magical. My patriotism went to level 100.
Whenever i got into the civil engineering uni i realised how, whenever people are designing these stadiums, they are calculating the statics taking into consideration that there is gonna be like a good few thousand people jumping at the same time. If the stadium can take lets say 10.000 people, then it is designed in such a way that it can endure the force that is produced by 10.000 people jumping up and down simultaneously. Most people don't even realise this but whenever a big football match takes place, there is a team of engineers somewhere praying they made no mistake. It's insane.
They're learning. I've seen some American tifos and they were legit good. Their federation has very strict rules, so they can't do all the stuff we do, but I'd encourage them to keep going to grow the ultras culture.
I'm french and personally, I don't really care much for nations cup but I love watching international competition, so world cups, euros and nation leagues. It just feels so good to have so many people under the same flag as you, united to support the team. I think football is all about the emotions it can give.
@@thon5941 C'est triste qu'on ai perdu mais là fin du match était incroyable honnêtement. Je regrette pas d'avoir regardé personnellement, les bleus ont été géniaux tout au long de la coupe
I knew we had this when he brought up "bringing drums" as the high point of the USA.. Bruh the England team has a whole band with drums, trumpets and tubas that comes to EVERY SINGLE ENGLAND GAME. Edit: Not to mention that you have to bear in mind, most of the European examples shown were club games, not even national events. By American standards, we basically have a Superbowl-level event every year, if not more frequent.
@@danitron4096But they don't have the same amount of spirit. Americans only sees entertainment. But with the rest of the world (Especially in Europe), their team are their pride and their representation of their hometown.
Football is not just a sport in Europe, it's a life philosophy, our religion. As Bill Shankly said 'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.'
You should also see the choreographies before the games especially during AC Milan games at the San Siro. Absolutely mind blowing! Also make sure to watch the atmosphere in stadiums in Argentina, especially at La Bonbonera, Boca Juniors Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Goosebumps guaranteed!
It’s our way of life. You don’t chose which club you support, you’re born with it. I am from Belgium and literally born in a Club Brugge family. My great-grandma was one of the founders of our “Spionkop”, inspired by Liverpool. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 4, but the club didn’t forget her. The women team is called after her. She had one wish, to be burried being tucked in a flag of the club. My grandpa was a youth trainer, kit manager of the first team and scout. (Not all at the same time) The most famous player he scouted is Thomas Meunier back when he played at Virton. I also could get match worn (or atleast match prepared) shirts of my favorite players. The Saturdays I didn’t had to play, I used to go with my grandpa to the club and chill with the players when they’re done training. My dad wasn’t really into football (more interested in trucks) until I started playing. My parents used to get gifts from the club for the birth of my brother and me.
@@ruilopes00 We hope we can continue our fairy tale story in the Champions League. It will be difficult. Qualifying for the RO16 was always our goal, now we did it. Step by step we'll raise the bar. I hope it will be 2 fun games to watch.
Big respect for showing the greatest atmosphere at a football stadium at one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, the magical San Siro of my beloved team, AC Milan! Then showing the legendary La Marseillaise, the French national anthem before a French national team match. Beyond beautiful! ❤️🔥🤟😎👏
Fans' culture is inherited in Europe, from one generation to the other, with the songs, unlimited support to the team and savage shouts. Nowadays that major club are defined by investment with international players in no direct relation to the city or country, it is still a celebration of being together. Minor clubs with great tradition can be much more enjoying (Köln, Lens) or savage (PAOK, Fenerbace) than major club (Chelsea, Paris).
Oii !!! I'll thank you to leave my club out of your comparisons. Chelsea FC is older than all those other clubs you mentioned. They were the biggest supported club in England a century ago with 60, 70, 80, thousand crowds. I'm not sure what is meant by 'savage' either. Chelsea had a hooligan element and huge support to away matches long before these others. It's because English clubs had such problems that the authorities clamped down on them so much. We don't set off flares or get told by some self appointed leader what to sing but the fans care about the club just as passionately as any other.
Its different because you grow up with your club, your father and grandpa propably also grew up with your club so you know your clubs chants and songs ever since you were 5 years old and heard them again and again. That's how everybody can be in sync
I would say we in Germany have like one of the best fans in terms of atmosphere. Like imagine playing in the bottom half of the league and still filling your stadium with more than 45000 people. Like Stuttgart, Berlin or even in 2nd division we have Kaiserslautern (who played 3rd division last year) that bring 10000 fans to Hamburg on a Friday evening (which is like over 600km away)
This makes me wish you'd do a video about the Euros going on right now, there's some great shit happening. Tartan army, orange legion with its left-right dance etc
Last one is the Romanian national anthem, and as many previously said, over here and South America, it's a culture, it's more than just 22 people kicking a ball.
I was in Hellas in 04, when they against all odds won the euro cup. The whole country just STOPPED. We were sitting at a bar watching the game, with dozens of other bars next to us. When they won, every worker and owner just went in to the streets. "Grab what you want, the bar is open" was all we heard before everything erupted in cheers for the next 8 hours. It was incredible!
It is our pride, all our families belong to the same team and from the moment you are born you are part of that team, it is all a matter of pride and tradition.
Those are essentially war chants from the Middle Ages.. You’re fighting an enemy and chant with your battle companions… That’s who all of this started hundreds of years ago
A little bit late but I live in Belgium (Europe for those who aren’t familiar) and let me tell you, most of us here aren’t that big on football but the moment our national team goes and plays? It’s like the whole country is put on his head with how hard they go support. It’s like they’re fighting for honor and stuff and it’s genuinely wild. It’s at football (especially the national ones) that we love our country more than ever. It’s wild and fans can get even wilder
you see we support our club team like its a tribal war...that's just the way it is...we (ultras and normal fans) are there to defend our colours... ofc, relegation and promotion play a big part on this urge and when it gets to Uefa Champions League or Europa league it becomes not only about your team but sometimes about you country's main football league prestige/quality
Football in Europe (and most of the world) is life. We live it everyday, we sleep it, breath it. It's like a religion. And the love and passion for a team is mostly passed down for Generations. Starting as young as just born tbh😂😊 this ain't a game for us, this is Life!
Grazie mille...Thanks a lot, that was a Gobbo Juventino song at the Curva Sud (Hunchback Juventus fan , hunchback cause of Fiat ahha) JUVE MERDA !!! FdL 1968
I've never been into football, not now, not in the past, but in my senior year in high school our hometown team managed to make it to the highest national division and not only that, but started there with 2 back to back wins. 3rd game was home turf. The entire week before that it was like New Year was coming. On the day of the match the entire city took a day off. Nothing was working, except the shops right next to the stadium. The match was to start at 17:00, at 14:00 THE ENTIRE CITY flooded the main street. No one drives to the stadium, it's a march to there. Flags, flares... it's was like people were going to war with smile on their faces. The stadium was small for a small town and could only fit 20 000 ppl, but there were probably 10 times that because i remember NO ONE stayed at home. Even my mom came to the game. In the blocks around the stadium there were people on the balconies and the roofs. And i know the atmosphere is the same across entire Europe. There is no chance that there is a game in the town you are in and you staying unaware of it.
If you ever visit Germany, come to a game. If it happens to be go to a "Derby Game" were two rivaling Clubs play against each other like Schalke 04 and BvB 09 . It will change your perspective of fandom.
To be fair...derby games in pretty much every European league is insane and so fun to be a part of. Being a part of the yellow wall is a bucket list..even for a lifelong Manchester United supporter lol
A couple decades ago at the Marakana in Belgrade when Red Star was playing there was literally more people than seats in the stadium on multiple occasions, sport is literally a part of our everyday life in Europe, america could never
I'm Asian, I prefer European fans, they feel like they're on the battlefield when watching football. American fans look like a family vacation when watching football, like they are watching a concert. what the hell is that.
For the northern Irish fans section, they are singing about a player called Will Griggs at the Euros who didn’t hardly play for the team, but was performing well for his club that year, was the sport song of the year
@@juanramaroto6691 haha my favourite clip is the reporter asking the german defense "are you terrified of Will Griggs?" and he hasn't played a single minute at the euros at that point
Me reading European: It's ok, you can just say German, we know and embrace that we are the crazy people here. It's part of the culture at this point. Also for being surprised about the outside the stadium part: That's where half the show happens. Any establishment that sells beer in close proximity to a stadium in Germany will make more money before and after a game than any other time of the year lol.
As an italian, i can confirm for the milan one, usualy at end end of our chorus we put "chi non salta è juventino" which means "who desen't jump is juventino" Juventus is a football team that is mostly disliked by a lot of people so its like an insult 😂😂😂
i'm from belgium in one of the smaller cities. and i live about 3-ish kilometers away from a decently sized football stadium. whenever there is a game, we can hear people chanting inside our house they're so loud
I'm 44, my father took me first timeto the stadium when I was 5. I can remember this pretty good. It was damn cold, we couldn't see nothing... More or less, I got some hot chocolate, a nice bratwurst and our team(Fc Schalke 04) won 2:1. At that day I got the virus. My son is 11 and we already had a lot of nice football days together... From heart to heart, from blood to blood ♥️
European here! In a lot of countries fans write inspirational chants that also rhymes. In it we basically rap about how our players are the most talented and they going to win. But I was only in 5 countries so far other then mein, so take it with a grain of salt. Ps sorry for bad English
The second european club you saw is actually my favorite club, 1. FC Köln. The biggest club in the city of Cologne, let me just translate the songs lyrics for you, because it says a lot about european football: Oh, FC Köln, a whole life for the club. Whatever happens, the red wall backs you up. Never leaves your side, because it's only here for you. The third club you saw I actually worked for as a stadium waitress while I was at uni. And no, the stadium doesn't break. In fact, you don't really feel the vibration elsewhere xD
Precisely. People don't show up for the game. They show up for the atmosphere, the community and the fun of it all. Most hardcore fans, or ultras as we call them, spend the whole game supporting their team, don't really pay attention during it, then go home and rewatch the game so they see what happens.
For americans it's just a show.
For europeans the pride of the entire city/country is on the line.

When the Belgrade Arena (now called Štark Arena) in Serbia was being built there was a delay about a year long. They had to redesign and redo the upper stands for safety and structural integrity. They realized that in the original design the architect forgot to calculate in the force of thousands of people jumping up and down in unison.
True story...
I was laughing in European throughout that whole USA half

I lived in Germany back in the 90s when they won the World Cup. The day they won, the country went into party overdrive. It didn’t stop for two days! EVERYBODY in the country collectively screamed when the final whistle was blown. I have never seen anything like it before or since. IT WAS CRAZY!
Same hère in Argentina. It was a roar in All of Buenos Aires
The same happen in France when we won our first world cup against the brazil…
It happened again in 2014 :)

But whatever, we'll rise again! :D
"If you cant beat them, join them" 😉
@@JustforvisitI dint know Germany use the term soccer.
"It aint even gonna compare!" That genuinely made me laugh. For Americans, sport is just a show. When Americans go to a game, they look at it as just having some light fun. Get some food, maybe have a little beer, and just enjoy themselves. For us Europeans, (Especially eastern Europe) its literally tribal. You will give your life to defend the honor of your city. You take your kids to the game to bond. For us, its a coming of age ritual that will initiate them into manhood.
Not just eastern all of Europe.

In the US: "I believe that we will win". In Europe, South America and in most of the rest of the world football is a kind of simulation of a warfare. Fans became all together with the colours of the team.
just without fighting =) (for the most time x) ) its all happy banter, something americans propably won't ever get. the tradition is just not there.
some EPL lower club chant " we lose every week nothing specials" with proud and passion
Simulation? What do you mean? It's an actual warfare at times. I grew up in a small city (60.000 people) with 2 football teams (both were and still are crap... in like 5th tier of Polish football and even our 1st tier is crap xD) which obviously hated each other. During the derby they had to bring like 5.000 police officers even from as far as 200km away just to keep the fans at bay and stop them from killing each other. It was an actual war with bloody cobblestones being torn from pavements and thrown at police. Obviously, the police had to deal with it somehow so they used everything they had other than live rounds. Water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, armored vehicles... Ah... Good old times.
@@feroxk.9266 Without fighting? That's cute! Not gonna happen in Eastern Europe or the Balkans xD but we made progress! In Poland football "fans" agreed to stop using knifes in fights. It's not much but it's better than actually stabbing each other to death xD
Omg USA is like bottom of the list when it comes to talent in Football! In England and and Europe we live and breath it! And as a footnote stop trying to take over everything, Football is ours! Your so backwards you even play your version of Football with your hands! Typical Americans trying to call Red , Blue just............ because!
in Europe we don't go to the game. We are going to war. It's an honor. You go there and represent your city. You die for your club and city.
As an European i don't know what's cuter: the fan chants of Americans or you at the beginning of your Video 😂❤
4:40
Don't worry, these stadiums are actually meant to move like that to absorb the jumping (same goes for most of Europe). If that floor was completely stationary, it would have a high chance of breaking apart.

im from sweden. my entire friend group just came together when we were 10 years old and everyone picked a club and now everyone has to support the club for their entire lives.
Which team did you pick? 😜
So I'm guessing about four of you guys chose Malmo😅
"I believe that we will win!" is just... cute.
All those American fans look like they understood the general idea that they should chant something but they have no idea what it should be. But no worries, they'll get there.
Its like watching a church group out on a sunday school trip...& trying really, really hard to fit in as their pastor leads their 2 'chants'🤣🤣
It feels like the americans are the candy scouts and the europeans are literally going to war.
World cup 2026 is gonna be eye opening for Americans.
I honestly think it’ll be more dead than previous world cups especially 2010/2014 simply because of the unprepared infrastructure and sheer amount of corruption involved. It will be great non the less but slightly stained forever.

Here’s one of the most powerful quotes ever by the legendary Uruguayan poet and writer, Eduardo Galleano: “in his life, a man can change his wife, political opinion and even his religion, but never his football team.”

Short and simple:
USA = commercial, flags and scarfs given to the fans to make a show out of it, music through the speakers and everyone just npc's through it
Europe ( defo also South America and North Africa ) = passion. Its that simple. It's in our blood, it's in our history. There is nothing that compares to the love and dedication a football fan has to his club over here.
"How did you bring such giant flags?" 😂 I've seen games where flares and rockets are fired 😂 Pitches covered in smoke and fog and the game goes on 😃 Football is life and war in Europe 😃

I loved the ending with my country's anthem. I'm Romanian and I remember going to a match, Romania - Netherlands and I couldn't get in before the match started, but I could hear our anthem echo from the outside. Tens of thousands of people singing our anthem, like an army marching to war. It was magical. My patriotism went to level 100.
Asta e România! Public superb! Sunt din Ploiești și știu ce vorbesc!
That clip made me proud to be romanian.
But i am not romanian.

Sustinem sustinem ❤
sad we don't get those days anymore :((
Whenever i got into the civil engineering uni i realised how, whenever people are designing these stadiums, they are calculating the statics taking into consideration that there is gonna be like a good few thousand people jumping at the same time. If the stadium can take lets say 10.000 people, then it is designed in such a way that it can endure the force that is produced by 10.000 people jumping up and down simultaneously. Most people don't even realise this but whenever a big football match takes place, there is a team of engineers somewhere praying they made no mistake. It's insane.
one error and shit go *BROOAAAAAM*
This dude needs to experience a worflags display at St James Park or Liverpool fans in full voice singing you'll never walk alone.
I love how he thought the US Football fans were off the chain! Oh you have a lot to learn young man!
They're learning. I've seen some American tifos and they were legit good. Their federation has very strict rules, so they can't do all the stuff we do, but I'd encourage them to keep going to grow the ultras culture.
I'm french and personally, I don't really care much for nations cup but I love watching international competition, so world cups, euros and nation leagues. It just feels so good to have so many people under the same flag as you, united to support the team. I think football is all about the emotions it can give.

Man, the fact that I am Romanian and You were awed by the Romanian fans singing the national anthem simply brings me unspeakable joy!
Are the fans really like this in your country during football season
Usually yes, but some basketball fans make the football chants seem like nothing
When I grew up I watched the great Gheorghe Hagi in the early 1990s, you had a great team then, respect from Ireland!
I knew we had this when he brought up "bringing drums" as the high point of the USA.. Bruh the England team has a whole band with drums, trumpets and tubas that comes to EVERY SINGLE ENGLAND GAME.
Edit: Not to mention that you have to bear in mind, most of the European examples shown were club games, not even national events. By American standards, we basically have a Superbowl-level event every year, if not more frequent.
"The game hasn't even start yet, it's just outside the stadium" 😭😭 Welcome to football outside the USA ❤️❤️!! Join us!!!
That was the calmest colonge chant I have ever seen usally they use flares and when they played against OG Nice things got real crazy
Americans will never understand a glimpse of the passion and love us Europeans have for football. For most of us it means everything.
exactly
Yes. Champions League nights are for us a the moments what are we waiting for!!
You realise Americans have the same culture around american football, just not football. Also they don't kill each other over it.
@@danitron4096But they don't have the same amount of spirit. Americans only sees entertainment. But with the rest of the world (Especially in Europe), their team are their pride and their representation of their hometown.
Football is our religion and the stadiums are the churches.
Football is not just a sport in Europe, it's a life philosophy, our religion. As Bill Shankly said 'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.'
It's the ballet of the masses
You should also see the choreographies before the games especially during AC Milan games at the San Siro. Absolutely mind blowing! Also make sure to watch the atmosphere in stadiums in Argentina, especially at La Bonbonera, Boca Juniors Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Goosebumps guaranteed!
It’s our way of life. You don’t chose which club you support, you’re born with it. I am from Belgium and literally born in a Club Brugge family. My great-grandma was one of the founders of our “Spionkop”, inspired by Liverpool. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 4, but the club didn’t forget her. The women team is called after her. She had one wish, to be burried being tucked in a flag of the club. My grandpa was a youth trainer, kit manager of the first team and scout. (Not all at the same time) The most famous player he scouted is Thomas Meunier back when he played at Virton. I also could get match worn (or atleast match prepared) shirts of my favorite players. The Saturdays I didn’t had to play, I used to go with my grandpa to the club and chill with the players when they’re done training. My dad wasn’t really into football (more interested in trucks) until I started playing. My parents used to get gifts from the club for the birth of my brother and me.
C'est trop génial.

The last anthem gave me chills.It’s called “Desteapta-te Române” and is the Romania national anthem. I’m romanian 😘
I'm Brazilian, but I really love your national anthem.
Fans' culture is inherited in Europe, from one generation to the other, with the songs, unlimited support to the team and savage shouts.
Nowadays that major club are defined by investment with international players in no direct relation to the city or country, it is still a celebration of being together. Minor clubs with great tradition can be much more enjoying (Köln, Lens) or savage (PAOK, Fenerbace) than major club (Chelsea, Paris).
ruclips.net/video/vdj7jBT9tu0/видео.html
Oii !!! I'll thank you to leave my club out of your comparisons. Chelsea FC is older than all those other clubs you mentioned. They were the biggest supported club in England a century ago with 60, 70, 80, thousand crowds. I'm not sure what is meant by 'savage' either. Chelsea had a hooligan element and huge support to away matches long before these others. It's because English clubs had such problems that the authorities clamped down on them so much. We don't set off flares or get told by some self appointed leader what to sing but the fans care about the club just as passionately as any other.
“Fight and Win” what is that crap! Im crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Its different because you grow up with your club, your father and grandpa propably also grew up with your club so you know your clubs chants and songs ever since you were 5 years old and heard them again and again. That's how everybody can be in sync
I remember I sang the club’s song wrong for two years
So true, I remember seeing my grandparents and parents singing these songs and I still remember it despite not being fond of football.
I would say we in Germany have like one of the best fans in terms of atmosphere. Like imagine playing in the bottom half of the league and still filling your stadium with more than 45000 people. Like Stuttgart, Berlin or even in 2nd division we have Kaiserslautern (who played 3rd division last year) that bring 10000 fans to Hamburg on a Friday evening (which is like over 600km away)

Welcome to outside of USA, where we are super passionate about everything and likewise in sport
I was in Hellas in 04, when they against all odds won the euro cup. The whole country just STOPPED. We were sitting at a bar watching the game, with dozens of other bars next to us. When they won, every worker and owner just went in to the streets. "Grab what you want, the bar is open" was all we heard before everything erupted in cheers for the next 8 hours. It was incredible!
It is our pride, all our families belong to the same team and from the moment you are born you are part of that team, it is all a matter of pride and tradition.
Praise the engineers who made those stadiums for the fans to cheer at and the teams to play at!

A little bit late but I live in Belgium (Europe for those who aren’t familiar) and let me tell you, most of us here aren’t that big on football but the moment our national team goes and plays? It’s like the whole country is put on his head with how hard they go support. It’s like they’re fighting for honor and stuff and it’s genuinely wild. It’s at football (especially the national ones) that we love our country more than ever. It’s wild and fans can get even wilder
you see we support our club team like its a tribal war...that's just the way it is...we (ultras and normal fans) are there to defend our colours...
ofc, relegation and promotion play a big part on this urge and when it gets to Uefa Champions League or Europa league it becomes not only about your team but sometimes about you country's main football league prestige/quality
In Holland we say Football is war
Football in Europe (and most of the world) is life. We live it everyday, we sleep it, breath it. It's like a religion. And the love and passion for a team is mostly passed down for Generations. Starting as young as just born tbh😂😊 this ain't a game for us, this is Life!

I've never been into football, not now, not in the past, but in my senior year in high school our hometown team managed to make it to the highest national division and not only that, but started there with 2 back to back wins. 3rd game was home turf. The entire week before that it was like New Year was coming. On the day of the match the entire city took a day off. Nothing was working, except the shops right next to the stadium. The match was to start at 17:00, at 14:00 THE ENTIRE CITY flooded the main street. No one drives to the stadium, it's a march to there. Flags, flares... it's was like people were going to war with smile on their faces. The stadium was small for a small town and could only fit 20 000 ppl, but there were probably 10 times that because i remember NO ONE stayed at home. Even my mom came to the game. In the blocks around the stadium there were people on the balconies and the roofs. And i know the atmosphere is the same across entire Europe. There is no chance that there is a game in the town you are in and you staying unaware of it.
If you ever visit Germany, come to a game. If it happens to be go to a "Derby Game" were two rivaling Clubs play against each other like Schalke 04 and BvB 09 . It will change your perspective of fandom.
To be fair...derby games in pretty much every European league is insane and so fun to be a part of. Being a part of the yellow wall is a bucket list..even for a lifelong Manchester United supporter lol
Most of these chants start in pubs and bars. Fans set their own words to popular songs, and it spreads - until the whole city knows the words 💪
Appreciate you saying football. Much love
They are not braking the stadium, it's built to do that 😂😂😂😂
back in 2006 when Italy won the world cup i visited Italy for 1 month during the time and for 2 weeks straight it was just party after party
Here in Europe football is massive and not a show. That’s why the atmosphere in Europe is unreal
A couple decades ago at the Marakana in Belgrade when Red Star was playing there was literally more people than seats in the stadium on multiple occasions, sport is literally a part of our everyday life in Europe, america could never

Will Griggs? I only hear Kerch Bridge 😂
My brain is used to it being harry maguire
And the lyrics are:
“Will Grigg’s on fire

Even in pubs, parties and discos it was chanted when “Freed from Desire” hit xD

GAWA are simply the best. ☘️
Me reading European: It's ok, you can just say German, we know and embrace that we are the crazy people here. It's part of the culture at this point.
Also for being surprised about the outside the stadium part: That's where half the show happens. Any establishment that sells beer in close proximity to a stadium in Germany will make more money before and after a game than any other time of the year lol.
As an italian, i can confirm for the milan one, usualy at end end of our chorus we put "chi non salta è juventino" which means "who desen't jump is juventino" Juventus is a football team that is mostly disliked by a lot of people so its like an insult 😂😂😂
Another reason I fell in love with the sport . It’s not a game it’s a culture
i'm from belgium in one of the smaller cities. and i live about 3-ish kilometers away from a decently sized football stadium.
whenever there is a game, we can hear people chanting inside our house they're so loud
I'm 44, my father took me first timeto the stadium when I was 5. I can remember this pretty good. It was damn cold, we couldn't see nothing... More or less, I got some hot chocolate, a nice bratwurst and our team(Fc Schalke 04) won 2:1. At that day I got the virus. My son is 11 and we already had a lot of nice football days together... From heart to heart, from blood to blood ♥️
European here!
In a lot of countries fans write inspirational chants that also rhymes. In it we basically rap about how our players are the most talented and they going to win. But I was only in 5 countries so far other then mein, so take it with a grain of salt. Ps sorry for bad English
European/South American fans are not there to watch the game. We (Brazil/VASCO) here to play together with the team, by screaming our asses out!
Listening to the national anthems being sung before the match starts is awesome. The Welsh one is ace.
The second european club you saw is actually my favorite club, 1. FC Köln. The biggest club in the city of Cologne, let me just translate the songs lyrics for you, because it says a lot about european football: Oh, FC Köln, a whole life for the club. Whatever happens, the red wall backs you up. Never leaves your side, because it's only here for you. The third club you saw I actually worked for as a stadium waitress while I was at uni. And no, the stadium doesn't break. In fact, you don't really feel the vibration elsewhere xD
Europäische Fans machen den Unterschied 👌🏻
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
As German and fan of 1. FC. Köln I can just say, it's a vibe....and we really LOVE our clubs
Precisely. People don't show up for the game. They show up for the atmosphere, the community and the fun of it all. Most hardcore fans, or ultras as we call them, spend the whole game supporting their team, don't really pay attention during it, then go home and rewatch the game so they see what happens.
