There's different kinds of chants. Usually there's one that's some kind of love song to the club. AS Roma has two very beautiful love songs written by famous songwriter Antonello Venditti dedicated to the team he loves. Every fan can sing them. Then there are shorter ones that are also meant to show support to your team and basically most of the times it's just the name of the team and something like "let's go". And then there are chants specifically to mock the other team. Of those there exist two categories: the first is just general and can be used on any opponent team, the second is specifically made for a certain opponent team (usually it's for teams that have a big rivalry, like when they are from the same city). Those can be very vulgar,at least as far as I know in Greece and Italy.
@@dunsonhouse That's also why the whole home advantage thing is actually true. Visiting teams aren't facing the home team. They're facing the home team and their supporters. I'm pretty sure any american professional basketball player who's been active in Europe will tell you the same thing.
@@boxonothing4087 in the 95’ Rugby World Cup final. A plane flew low over the stadium with the words “Go Bokke” emblazoned under the wings. The South Africans also with the crowd at their backs stared down the All Black Haka. The stadium they played it at is quite on top of the players so when you are on the pitch it feels like the crowd is on your back. And too this day I believe the Springboks are still undefeated at that stadium.
That struck me when he watched the Red Star fans and there was a loud bang at 11:08, he immediately says "Was that a gunshot?!" It's just unimagineable for a European that there should be a gunshot in a public place.
When you see thousands of your brothers jumping and singing the same chorus on the stand, when you feel the passion, madness, pride to your city/club/country that’s the best feeling in the world... Our style - ultras life 🔥
A lot of Ultras members spend the whole game singing and chanting, with limited attention to what happens on the pitch, then to go home and watch the rerun of the game! Not just the highlights, but the full game!
The pyro is for creating an heavy Athmosphere along with the chants, choreo, flags and smoke its just intimidating for the opponent and therefor helping your own team
Every team as a song book, and its always changing. There are old favorites and new ones that capture a particular season or player. When a new song really takes off it has a lot of energy.
at 6:50 it´s not about scaring the other team but to demonstrate to "UEFA" who holds the tournament and european cup. They are clearly corrupt and doesn´t treat the smaller clubs equal to the bigger and more famous ones..
@@dunsonhouse It's from Warsaw, i was at this game. It's all about how precise are UEFA in penalising small clubs like Legia when every time that thing happens on "Zyleta" club gets tons of euro penalty for pirotechnics
In Belgrad, at Red Star Belgrad's home ground, even the architecture of the stadium can scare the other team. The players tunnel looks like an old station tunnel with grafity. You can hear the noise of jumping and chanting fans and walk out right infront of the main stand of the home suporters. There is a POV of walking this on youtube.
You wouldn't have to be scared to attend - everyone supporting the same team are allies, consider them a friend you haven't met yet. No one would harm you, you are safe.
That’s exactly how it was, I remember the Play-Off final in 2017 when town got promoted to the prem, we ended up celebrating with about 100/200 people after the game and it was the best week of my life
@@dunsonhouse In addition to that the fans of the aways team are completly seperated by fences and are seated in a special area of the stadium. Depending on what team the home club is facing the fans are even seperated all the way from the main railroad station to the stadium. They recieve special trains and are escorted by police forces.
Being in those crowds is exhilarating. Even if you don't know the songs or chants, they just lift you off and you ride along like a born fan right of the bat. The fans are also extremely welcoming-- as long as you cheer for *their* club, that is.
being in those crowds week after week you really get into the culture of the club, you become a family with all the fans, you make friends with regulars. Football is more than just a game to many of these people here, it's a way of life. Standing in one of those stadiums really reminds you about how much power humanity has with a little unity.
The engineering of German stadiums are insane! The amount of stress they can take is incredible! Now add cheap tickets, cheap beer and that by law the fans have to be the majority shareholder in the clubs
@@dunsonhouse I live I Spain and it’s incredible, sometimes when Barcelona is going to play against Madrid is crazy but funny I love football but respect to basketball 🤝
There are not only Ultras in Europe, but also in Latin America (mainly in Brazil and Argentina, Argentine fans are crazy, you have to see them) and in North Africa (those are crazy too) . Greetings from Brazil !
@@lotakom6992 At no time did I say that the South American ultras are crazier than the Balkans, including many of the ultras in this video are from the Balkans, I just said that there are Ultras outside Europe!
Many different chants and many different types of choreo in different parts of Europe. In UK you can't light signal lights or fires but in Bulgaria you can tear down the stadium if you want. You have up to 2000 police at some games. The CSKA Sofia chant for example goes like this: "Since childhood you lit fire in my heart! I will always be true to CSKA!"
I went to the derby in Sofia twice (standing for CSKA) as I lived there for 2 years, I was able to hold a flare in the "presidential" stand, the other time I was amongst the ultras and at the start of the second half it was impossible to see the game for 5 minutes, loved it. The corteos pre game were amazing too.
The flares en fireworks are mostly used at the start of the game when their squad enters the field as an extra morale boost. Almost every middlesized city (or bigger) has their own teams, traditions and chants. As some other people in the comments pointed it out, most of the fans are there to really support the team instead of just watching a game.
Americans wonder: why chants? why flares? why the open aggression? the answer: European football is the (more) peaceful continuation of war. In Switzerland the sports-department is even called: Department for Sports and Military. That sums it up, for you guys 😂 it also explains the 1944 Flag you see in the Vid at 6:26.
I'm from Germany and a huge football fan (or like americans say a soccer fan). And for me it is like a must, that the fans sing and so on in order to push and motivate the team on the pitch. The bengalflares are to visualize emotions and to make a choreo more visual and to make the picture of it more impressive, its some kind of a contest between the ultragroups. The number of Policemen depends on the game itself, how much conflict-potential there is between the fans. When there is a derby, a match between clubs where the fans are very agressive against the others, there is much more police, the police in Germany call it "Hochrisikospiel", in english like "Highriskmatch" (just word4word translation sorry :D) For myself, i'm almost 27 and i can't just watch the game when my team is on the pitch. I have to sing, jump and applaus. I love it this way and can't imagine it right now without it and theres nothing else in the world i'm more exited for to finally return to a full stadium and support the team like before covid.
@@dunsonhouse yeah. they send riot police like in battalion sizes to keep the teams apart. the visiting team's fans have to stay at the statium until the home team's are gone and they use different entrances and stuff
Red Star Belgrade, actually know a guy living here in New York who's from Serbia and is of their ultras group, spoke about battles they would have, and even almost losing his life fighting against Partizan ultras (they play in the same city as Red Star). Met him at NYCFC games, and as you can imagine, watching football in the U.S. is nothing compared to a lot of the world, so he enjoys being able to just drink with his friends, watch the team, chant all game and not really have to worry really about getting into battles with other fans.
Many ppl died in those fights, but Partizan fans a bit more.Here it went on personal level, it's not just football 😂.Problem is bcs nobody ever went to jail for those murders.Last example Sasa Pantic (Killed in Republic of Srpska) killed by Red Star fans, by metal sticks and those guys have some important parents, nobody ever was imprisoned.Demir Jukic(my friend) killed in 2017 being only 18y old.Nobody ever even went in police or investigation anything.And when Aca Radovic(Red Star fan) was killed on Partizan stadium with signal rocket
Just few fans went to jail bcs of starting clashes on stadium or something like that on few months.Problem is bcs President is openly Red Star fan and they work on many building projects etc.And last year in fights in few months more then 30 Partizan fans arrested, Red Star 0.But i will stop here.Take care friend 😁
Perfect example how NOT to watch a game. Sport is not about having fun with your friends, drinking beer, getting fat. Real sport fan comes to the arena to give his 100% for the teams 0.001% better performance. In NBA you have many extremely stupid things, like Dance cam, kiss cam, really shame. When we lose an important game I can't normally sleep couple of nights.
eastern europe supporters are the craziest (greece, turkey, ex-jugoslavia countries)! every time our teams are going to play on their pitch we're like "oh shit this is gonna be a war!" 😂
1) each game has the number of police officers according to their importance and who the two teams are on the field 2) each team has its own songs and they range from helping the team to mock rivals and the football federation itself 3) flares are theoretically prohibited But the clubs and the police turn blind eye 4) fire flares and etc. happen just before the start of the game and sometimes the referee has to wait for a few minutes until the match can start 5) each game presents its history, scenes like you saw in the video are not unique, they are commonplace, but they are also special, a national championship season has an average of 38 games, you won't see the crowd doing that in 10 of those games! usually this kind of party precedes a very important game.
We europeans love pyrotechnics in stadiums. That's our mentality (ok something around 50% of europeans lets be honest-not every single person like it) but It's always adds colours to the stands. Also there is a big difference beetween stadium and arena. Stadiums woke in us emotions which i can't descripe. It's just literally another world
The flares all around was PAOK Tessaloniki in Greece. Right before the game started. You can see the players on the field standing in lines after entering. The referee nay interrupt the game if they can't see enough on the field but otherwise they can play. Firemen may put out flares thrown too close to the field.
With the Ajax Amsterdam chants, the first us basically just “For Ajax Amsterdam” and the second was “90 minutes long, for our club from Amsterdam, madness in the stands, nobody can stop us”
Ajax are considered average supporters. Juve tifosi always dominate their stadium. In holland only feyenoord has ultras wich are respected trough whole europe
It’s amazing to me that some football chants have transcended language and gone global, eg that _Ole Ole Ole Ole_ one. We sing that too! One sport, One Passion, One Love. From 🇬🇧 to the 🌎
First of all, no. There’s never enough security to keep fans off the pitch if fans decide to storm the pitch. All changing, flares and fireworks is there as a display of support for your own players, but also a deterrent against being shit, because here we are 10-60000 men strong chanting and literally making the stadium shake. And yes...we make the stadiums shake, modern safety construction made of reinforced concrete. Our clubs aren’t chosen as fans, it’s what team we have locally or what our fathers beats into us. And you support a club for life, there’s no changing about, and everyone will remember who you support for the rest of your life. Also, yes we used to have a lot of violence concentrated around supporter clubs. But the government’s decided that was too scary and started banning ultras, so now we support our club and involve ourselves in politics.
World of football fans is like europe in medievil times!!! Clubs are like kingdoms or city/ castle... the game is like an opportunity to go to war with another kingdom or city...for 1 day u are a knight...or spartan..or whatever from ancient times
Awesome explanation,I always taught so,My exboyfriend was for this one day like a warrior or knight,In Serbia most of them absolutely adore their sports,(like me loving my shoes 👠)and the most part of them make no problem or are aggressive,it looks pretty scary for you folks?!
As a European I have experienced these “fires” when i’ve been to games. They’re actually flares/smoke flares. In some stadiums they are illegal and they light them before the game and sometimes throw them onto the field.
if you're wondering why the video was blurred at 5:51, it was because the lazio fans (known for their far right political views), The Irriducibili, was doing Nazi's salutes.
@@dunsonhouse should maybe be mentioned that certain clubs and its fans appease to certain political ideologies. The fans in the clip who showed the Nazi salutes from Lazio Rome for example are pretty widely known to be fascists and the club is at least very, very right wing. Then you have other clubs who's fans are all very left-wing, almost anarchist like for example St. Pauli from Hamburg. Especially in bigger cities with several rivalling clubs they differentiate each other through political ideologies. One famous example is also the so-called "Old Firm" rivarly between Celtic Glasgow vs Glasgow Rangers which is essentially part of Scottish history and culture. Even though they are from the same City, Celtic is supported by left-leaning Catholics who believe Scotland should be independend from the UK. Whereas Rangers are conservative Protestants, who are loyal to the English Crown.
These aren’t National chants. These are chants sung by the supporters of individual teams in every different countries domestic leagues. Most nations in Europe have top divisions with 20 teams and second, third, etc division teams all with their own unique chants. What they all say, I’m not sure. National teams have their own chants that they sing at National team games for their respective countries. Here in America, sports are for spectators, in Europe teams are independent religions haha their clubs have been around in some cases since the 1800’s so they’ve had more time to develop through different economic situations while in America all of our sports are relatively new and have all been put on through capitalism which has its own priorities which has shaped the game day experience for comfort rather than ferocity.
The thing about the "fires" is just for catching your eye, they use flares of course in the crowd, we cannot light actual fires so we light flares. The flares are usually connected to the craziest supporters of a club, which are usually called "ultras" but are also called "pyros", and we call flares pyro with the saying "no pyro, no party". That's why the flares.
In Europe almost every club has “ultras”. It’s a special part of the clubs fans which are like hardcore fans. Most of the times it’s them burning down the pyros and the most stadiums have one block just for the ultras. These fans are not loved by anyone because not everyone like these extrem things like pyros (which is illegal btw) and they have problems with the police sometimes because they fight with the police or opponent fans. But imo these are the best fans because they make noise in the stadium and the they really love the club and give it soul not like for example people who come to the stadium just because it’s a big game eventhough they aren’t real fans of any of the clubs
In Germany Ultras are also a new kind of culture for young people like Punks in the 80s for example. Their mission is to support their club with all passion they get. With owm mechandise without being commercial. They dont wear official licensed products of their Club. Every earned money is for the support and for choreos. And, what of „normal“ fans doenst know: they do also a lot of social work in their hometowns. Youthprogramms, charity for Child hospitals etc… Its a special way of life that older generations dont understand.
3:00 Thats my club right there. This chant is called: “Negentig minuten lang / 90 minutes long.” ( The time of a avarage football game ) A few minutes before the end of the game, the F-side turn their backs to the field and sing this song.
Man when your team scores a goal and you are in the middle of that you can hear the ground shaking. The first time I experienced it I was 5 and I will never forget that feeling.
Yeah, everyone bigs up us england lads but in reality we’re just the rude but funny uncle at the family gathering, over in the more Eastern European country’s is where you find the ones that’ll give their heart and soul for their club, for some football is their life and when you have no other way to vent, a football match at a big game or even a league game is where you can safely do (within reason kinda) whatever you want. Also, the ‘fires’ are just flares, sometimes a crackhead might take it too far but unless you’re waving it right in someone’s face then they’re pretty harmless Great vid btw man, can’t wait to binge watch more lol
8:09 This was before the game, i was lucky to be inside there. The atmosphere was amazing, it was very very loud. It looked liked hell like the song we use before everygame (Hell's Bells) it's like telling them that this is their funeral. Also the game started 1 hour later due to the fires😂😂
PAOK is in Greece! Mostly it's before the game when the teams come on the pitch to begin the game! It's an amazing feeling! I love it so much. But when the game is busy they will sing and chant and jump but not as crazy before the match.. but the crowd can really be a factor in the game! The 12man ❤️because there are 11players per team on the pitch and we are the 12th man of the team we support.. singing them forwards to win the game 😁
@@dunsonhouse brother we are living for this all our lifes we work jobs for funny money and wr are spending it on for the better of the group when the weekend comes u know what is your must to do thing, there is no exceptions even if u have baby that day u are fucking goin to stadium not to hospital!

03:00 they are all standing with their backs to the field just to show te ennemy they are confident in their team winning easy, so they don’t watch and sing for like 5 minutes, it’s maaddd hahaha
Usualy its just an choreo. Never heard anywone who treat it like being cofident of win. Esepcialy as fan u are not scoring so it doest affect on result that u are watching or dont :p
And you’re Rio Ferdinand or what? I can’t understand 3 words of your response mate, yes they turn around because they know their team is winning easily, sometimes it’s also a choreo but that’s not the point 😶 and idk what kind of fabric you wanna talk about… do you mean like the big ‘tifo’s’ who cover a big part of the audience before the game starts?
Just imagine the culture ur Dad teached you,the love to ur City ,ur gang shit without Shootings and ur best friends and familie all of that come togehter with football . Then u might imagine what football means for real and that you can never compare it with other Sports in the US
2:59 it's called let's do the Poznan. After Lech Poznan (Polish team) won something big ten years ago and it went viral. I think the purpose is that we don't need to watch the game, we've already won
this shit deadass makes me emotional. i dont even like sports. but shit like this makes me want to be apart of this. True passion for their team and country. its extremely beautiful. i dont know where the hell america went wrong but this is how you do sports.
Some quick info. These clubs have a large group of what are called Ultras. Think of them as superfans. They work all week on presentations and chants. They arrive hours before the match and have a designated area. They get the team and the rest of the crowd going. A lot of the chants are used all the time so the rest of the crowd gets into it too.
My heart goes to SK RAPID WIEN Good Ultras and intimidating hooligans are worldwide. in Europe: Greece, Serbia, Poland, Bosnia, Turkey, Scotland, Italia, France, Germany in Latin America: Argentina, Brasil, Columbia, Mexico in Asia: Indonesia, Japan in Africa: Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco
How are u going to talk bout Ultras in Europe and don't mention Portugal. Ultras like Juve Leo, Diretório, Super Dragões, White Angels, No Name Boys and Red Devils, just to name a few are as intimidating if not more than the ones you mentioned.
13:35 the game that s about to start hosted at Bucharest has at least 3000 police and special forces at the arena for about 27k people present, but keep in mind this game has a very low probability of altercations or violence. France vs Switzerland
The fires you see are Bengal fires and it's before, during or after the game. Mostly before to bring the atmosphere to the players to show the support. Football (not soccer ;) ) is a big party in Europe where we are all a unity for the same team. Long history, football has been for the working class to enjoy after a long hard week of work.
The "fire" is called Pyro. It's to show the Team how motivated u r for the game and to create a speciak atmosphere. First time in Italy where Ultras where found and then came to Kaiserslautern in Germany.
ruclips.net/video/LJ-SLdRP7Ew/видео.html Here they motivate their Team for the second half. Its a Match where two rivals play against each other and the supporters hate each other. They want to show how important it is to win this game. But for something like this the Club has to pay 10k Euro minimum
The flares ultras or fans burn in europe or south america in the stadium or somewhere else represents the passion and love wich burns deep inside of us, in our bodys, mind and soul. And so much more, it means so much the the ultra szene u cant explain
In Europe, support is both with sound and visuals, it's important to make noise but also to have choreos, mainly with flags and tifos but also with flares and smokes, the later 2 being illegal in some countries like France, hence why if you light a flare in France it's even more impressive (I have a friend who was banned from the stadium for 2 or 3 years because he lit a flare against Paris, but when I was living in Bulgaria I was free to hold a flare in the main stand of CSKA). They didn't even include Zenit Saint Petersburg which was elected best ultras 2019 or 2020 (can't remember), their tifos are absolutely artwork, the paintings in the Hermitage museum are ridiculous next to them. They could also have included CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow. But yeah, for some teams the show is in the stand, not on the pitch, especially because the biggest teams don't have such good support as their stadium are filled with tourists etc. I admit that when I go to the stadium, I barely watch the game.
Lead Person: “What do you think of Tottenham?” Crowd: “SHIT!” Lead Person: “What do you think of shit?” Crowd: “TOTTENHAM!” Lead Person: “Thank you!” Crowd: “That’s Alright!” Everyone: “WE HATE TOTTENHAM! WE HATE TOTTENHAM! x3” “WE ARE THE TOTTENHAM HATERS!”
As a Brit living in the US when I’m watching my football team the flat shakes. Even when I’m not home and watching on my phone I can’t stop chanting. COYS
In germany we have a very very big fan culture in soccer clubs. We as germans are not permitted to be proud of our country cause of the second world war even its about 70 years ago. So a lot of people looking for a community or group to get the feeling of pride for something and share that feeling with other people..
The Ultras are an organized group that coordinate everything with the club and stadium and authorities. Sometimes negotiations take place, but overall safe for everyone.

If you've ever seen red star Belgrade v partisan they do genuinely set the stadium on fire sometimes! Other than those nutters, yeah it's just flares
flares yeah
And we can't even get a free water bottle in provided by the ground 😭
You right, bro. If you fuck with just one of them , shit hits the fan. It goes beyond religion
Appreciate the comment
In Belgrad, at Red Star Belgrad's home ground, even the architecture of the stadium can scare the other team. The players tunnel looks like an old station tunnel with grafity. You can hear the noise of jumping and chanting fans and walk out right infront of the main stand of the home suporters. There is a POV of walking this on youtube.
You wouldn't have to be scared to attend - everyone supporting the same team are allies, consider them a friend you haven't met yet. No one would harm you, you are safe.
✊🏽✊🏽
That’s exactly how it was, I remember the Play-Off final in 2017 when town got promoted to the prem, we ended up celebrating with about 100/200 people after the game and it was the best week of my life
@@pebbleyt1357 ✊🏽
@@dunsonhouse In addition to that the fans of the aways team are completly seperated by fences and are seated in a special area of the stadium. Depending on what team the home club is facing the fans are even seperated all the way from the main railroad station to the stadium. They recieve special trains and are escorted by police forces.
Except for joining SS Lazio ultras, don't think they'd be happy to see a black guy joining them
Being in those crowds is exhilarating. Even if you don't know the songs or chants, they just lift you off and you ride along like a born fan right of the bat.
The fans are also extremely welcoming-- as long as you cheer for *their* club, that is.
'And the 35.000 € fine goes to...'
This way to good...actually head to laugh in this
🇩🇪🤝🏼🇵🇱
being in those crowds week after week you really get into the culture of the club, you become a family with all the fans, you make friends with regulars. Football is more than just a game to many of these people here, it's a way of life. Standing in one of those stadiums really reminds you about how much power humanity has with a little unity.
The engineering of German stadiums are insane! The amount of stress they can take is incredible! Now add cheap tickets, cheap beer and that by law the fans have to be the majority shareholder in the clubs
Sport in Europe is pride, its joy, its sadness, its LIFE !!!!
I respect that my guy
@@dunsonhouse I live I Spain and it’s incredible, sometimes when Barcelona is going to play against Madrid is crazy but funny I love football but respect to basketball 🤝
There are not only Ultras in Europe, but also in Latin America (mainly in Brazil and Argentina, Argentine fans are crazy, you have to see them) and in North Africa (those are crazy too) .
Greetings from Brazil !
Check out Top15 Balkan Ultras Bro . You cannot compare them with some fans in Brazil.
@@lotakom6992 At no time did I say that the South American ultras are crazier than the Balkans, including many of the ultras in this video are from the Balkans, I just said that there are Ultras outside Europe!
Boca junior ultras are wack yeah..but the balkan clubs are just on a level on their own
Latin America is not just Brazil and Argentina. You'll see Crazy Ultras in Uruguay, Colombia, Chile, Perú, Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador
Latin America for sure, Japan has good stuff too (with the flags and all) and north africa mainly Tunisia (CA and EST teams)
Many different chants and many different types of choreo in different parts of Europe. In UK you can't light signal lights or fires but in Bulgaria you can tear down the stadium if you want. You have up to 2000 police at some games. The CSKA Sofia chant for example goes like this: "Since childhood you lit fire in my heart! I will always be true to CSKA!"
Salut from CSKA MOSCOW!!!✊
I went to the derby in Sofia twice (standing for CSKA) as I lived there for 2 years, I was able to hold a flare in the "presidential" stand, the other time I was amongst the ultras and at the start of the second half it was impossible to see the game for 5 minutes, loved it. The corteos pre game were amazing too.
А да не говорим колко полиция има на дербито между локо и ботев то няма полицай в Пловдив който да не е там
You can have flares in the UK at some of the smaller stadiums. Rotherham fans have flares so do bristol city and Peterborough
Dude at Lazio they threw a moped 🏍 on the field . That sh*t was intense.
The flares en fireworks are mostly used at the start of the game when their squad enters the field as an extra morale boost. Almost every middlesized city (or bigger) has their own teams, traditions and chants. As some other people in the comments pointed it out, most of the fans are there to really support the team instead of just watching a game.
Americans wonder: why chants? why flares? why the open aggression? the answer: European football is the (more) peaceful continuation of war. In Switzerland the sports-department is even called: Department for Sports and Military. That sums it up, for you guys 😂 it also explains the 1944 Flag you see in the Vid at 6:26.
I'm from Germany and a huge football fan (or like americans say a soccer fan). And for me it is like a must, that the fans sing and so on in order to push and motivate the team on the pitch. The bengalflares are to visualize emotions and to make a choreo more visual and to make the picture of it more impressive, its some kind of a contest between the ultragroups.
The number of Policemen depends on the game itself, how much conflict-potential there is between the fans. When there is a derby, a match between clubs where the fans are very agressive against the others, there is much more police, the police in Germany call it "Hochrisikospiel", in english like "Highriskmatch" (just word4word translation sorry :D)
For myself, i'm almost 27 and i can't just watch the game when my team is on the pitch. I have to sing, jump and applaus. I love it this way and can't imagine it right now without it and theres nothing else in the world i'm more exited for to finally return to a full stadium and support the team like before covid.

Red Star Belgrade, actually know a guy living here in New York who's from Serbia and is of their ultras group, spoke about battles they would have, and even almost losing his life fighting against Partizan ultras (they play in the same city as Red Star). Met him at NYCFC games, and as you can imagine, watching football in the U.S. is nothing compared to a lot of the world, so he enjoys being able to just drink with his friends, watch the team, chant all game and not really have to worry really about getting into battles with other fans.
😂😂 facts✊🏽
Many ppl died in those fights, but Partizan fans a bit more.Here it went on personal level, it's not just football 😂.Problem is bcs nobody ever went to jail for those murders.Last example Sasa Pantic (Killed in Republic of Srpska) killed by Red Star fans, by metal sticks and those guys have some important parents, nobody ever was imprisoned.Demir Jukic(my friend) killed in 2017 being only 18y old.Nobody ever even went in police or investigation anything.And when Aca Radovic(Red Star fan) was killed on Partizan stadium with signal rocket
Just few fans went to jail bcs of starting clashes on stadium or something like that on few months.Problem is bcs President is openly Red Star fan and they work on many building projects etc.And last year in fights in few months more then 30 Partizan fans arrested, Red Star 0.But i will stop here.Take care friend 😁
@@RobertELee1418 that’s crazy appreciate the info my guy
Perfect example how NOT to watch a game. Sport is not about having fun with your friends, drinking beer, getting fat. Real sport fan comes to the arena to give his 100% for the teams 0.001% better performance. In NBA you have many extremely stupid things, like Dance cam, kiss cam, really shame. When we lose an important game I can't normally sleep couple of nights.
eastern europe supporters are the craziest (greece, turkey, ex-jugoslavia countries)!
every time our teams are going to play on their pitch we're like "oh shit this is gonna be a war!" 😂
When it’s El Clásico day it’s incredible, believe me I live in Spain. I love football, all Europe love football ⚽️
1) each game has the number of police officers according to their importance and who the two teams are on the field
2) each team has its own songs and they range from helping the team to mock rivals and the football federation itself
3) flares are theoretically prohibited But the clubs and the police turn blind eye
4) fire flares and etc. happen just before the start of the game and sometimes the referee has to wait for a few minutes until the match can start
5) each game presents its history, scenes like you saw in the video are not unique, they are commonplace, but they are also special, a national championship season has an average of 38 games, you won't see the crowd doing that in 10 of those games! usually this kind of party precedes a very important game.
People use flares before the game under the game and after the game

We europeans love pyrotechnics in stadiums. That's our mentality (ok something around 50% of europeans lets be honest-not every single person like it) but It's always adds colours to the stands. Also there is a big difference beetween stadium and arena. Stadiums woke in us emotions which i can't descripe. It's just literally another world
when they light up the fire signal you can smell the burning gunpowder from a mile away so imagine how it smells inside the stadium
Lol that’s crazy appreciate the comment my guy
best smell in the world imo, especially when you wake up the next morning and your clothes still smell
It's a way of life for us in Europe, never mistake that.

The flares all around was PAOK Tessaloniki in Greece.
Right before the game started. You can see the players on the field standing in lines after entering.
The referee nay interrupt the game if they can't see enough on the field but otherwise they can play. Firemen may put out flares thrown too close to the field.
With the Ajax Amsterdam chants, the first us basically just “For Ajax Amsterdam” and the second was “90 minutes long, for our club from Amsterdam, madness in the stands, nobody can stop us”

One sport, One Passion, One Love. From 🇬🇧 to the 🌎
If you want to get a better understanding of what it means to us you should definitely react to "Ultras our way of Life". Good reaction man
First of all, no. There’s never enough security to keep fans off the pitch if fans decide to storm the pitch. All changing, flares and fireworks is there as a display of support for your own players, but also a deterrent against being shit, because here we are 10-60000 men strong chanting and literally making the stadium shake. And yes...we make the stadiums shake, modern safety construction made of reinforced concrete.
Our clubs aren’t chosen as fans, it’s what team we have locally or what our fathers beats into us. And you support a club for life, there’s no changing about, and everyone will remember who you support for the rest of your life.
Also, yes we used to have a lot of violence concentrated around supporter clubs. But the government’s decided that was too scary and started banning ultras, so now we support our club and involve ourselves in politics.

World of football fans is like europe in medievil times!!! Clubs are like kingdoms or city/ castle... the game is like an opportunity to go to war with another kingdom or city...for 1 day u are a knight...or spartan..or whatever from ancient times
Awesome explanation,I always taught so,My exboyfriend was for this one day like a warrior or knight,In Serbia most of them absolutely adore their sports,(like me loving my shoes 👠)and the most part of them make no problem or are aggressive,it looks pretty scary for you folks?!
As a European I have experienced these “fires” when i’ve been to games. They’re actually flares/smoke flares. In some stadiums they are illegal and they light them before the game and sometimes throw them onto the field.
if you're wondering why the video was blurred at 5:51, it was because the lazio fans (known for their far right political views), The Irriducibili, was doing Nazi's salutes.
Wow that’s insane appreciate the comment my guy✊🏽
@@dunsonhouse should maybe be mentioned that certain clubs and its fans appease to certain political ideologies. The fans in the clip who showed the Nazi salutes from Lazio Rome for example are pretty widely known to be fascists and the club is at least very, very right wing. Then you have other clubs who's fans are all very left-wing, almost anarchist like for example St. Pauli from Hamburg.
Especially in bigger cities with several rivalling clubs they differentiate each other through political ideologies. One famous example is also the so-called "Old Firm" rivarly between Celtic Glasgow vs Glasgow Rangers which is essentially part of Scottish history and culture. Even though they are from the same City, Celtic is supported by left-leaning Catholics who believe Scotland should be independend from the UK. Whereas Rangers are conservative Protestants, who are loyal to the English Crown.
Ye lazio is dodgy also idk if its Bulgarian clubs aswell
These aren’t National chants. These are chants sung by the supporters of individual teams in every different countries domestic leagues. Most nations in Europe have top divisions with 20 teams and second, third, etc division teams all with their own unique chants. What they all say, I’m not sure.
National teams have their own chants that they sing at National team games for their respective countries.
Here in America, sports are for spectators, in Europe teams are independent religions haha their clubs have been around in some cases since the 1800’s so they’ve had more time to develop through different economic situations while in America all of our sports are relatively new and have all been put on through capitalism which has its own priorities which has shaped the game day experience for comfort rather than ferocity.
The thing about the "fires" is just for catching your eye, they use flares of course in the crowd, we cannot light actual fires so we light flares. The flares are usually connected to the craziest supporters of a club, which are usually called "ultras" but are also called "pyros", and we call flares pyro with the saying "no pyro, no party". That's why the flares.
Appreciate the comment ✊🏽
In Europe almost every club has “ultras”. It’s a special part of the clubs fans which are like hardcore fans. Most of the times it’s them burning down the pyros and the most stadiums have one block just for the ultras. These fans are not loved by anyone because not everyone like these extrem things like pyros (which is illegal btw) and they have problems with the police sometimes because they fight with the police or opponent fans. But imo these are the best fans because they make noise in the stadium and the they really love the club and give it soul not like for example people who come to the stadium just because it’s a big game eventhough they aren’t real fans of any of the clubs
Appreciate that info ✊🏽 thanks for commenting
In Germany Ultras are also a new kind of culture for young people like Punks in the 80s for example. Their mission is to support their club with all passion they get. With owm mechandise without being commercial. They dont wear official licensed products of their Club. Every earned money is for the support and for choreos. And, what of „normal“ fans doenst know: they do also a lot of social work in their hometowns. Youthprogramms, charity for Child hospitals etc…
Its a special way of life that older generations dont understand.

Yeah, everyone bigs up us england lads but in reality we’re just the rude but funny uncle at the family gathering, over in the more Eastern European country’s is where you find the ones that’ll give their heart and soul for their club, for some football is their life and when you have no other way to vent, a football match at a big game or even a league game is where you can safely do (within reason kinda) whatever you want.
Also, the ‘fires’ are just flares, sometimes a crackhead might take it too far but unless you’re waving it right in someone’s face then they’re pretty harmless
Great vid btw man, can’t wait to binge watch more lol

Nah England are great fans but recently we have been getting to many glory hunters we used to be ,ike that and small clubs still are
8:09 This was before the game, i was lucky to be inside there. The atmosphere was amazing, it was very very loud. It looked liked hell like the song we use before everygame (Hell's Bells) it's like telling them that this is their funeral. Also the game started 1 hour later due to the fires😂😂
When they fire in the game it shows that the derby is on fire by the fans 💙
And they do fire before the game!

Some quick info. These clubs have a large group of what are called Ultras. Think of them as superfans. They work all week on presentations and chants. They arrive hours before the match and have a designated area. They get the team and the rest of the crowd going. A lot of the chants are used all the time so the rest of the crowd gets into it too.

The fires you see are Bengal fires and it's before, during or after the game. Mostly before to bring the atmosphere to the players to show the support. Football (not soccer ;) ) is a big party in Europe where we are all a unity for the same team. Long history, football has been for the working class to enjoy after a long hard week of work.
Its an escapism for the fans, never mind the daily troubles, and boring lives.
Great Reaction, My Friend..
Rapid Wien is an Austrian team, which is the Country next to Germany, not an Australian team .
Good Luck.
The "fire" is called Pyro. It's to show the Team how motivated u r for the game and to create a speciak atmosphere. First time in Italy where Ultras where found and then came to Kaiserslautern in Germany.
But its illegal as u say in ur title but the ultras are very creative to find a way threw security and police

In Europe, support is both with sound and visuals, it's important to make noise but also to have choreos, mainly with flags and tifos but also with flares and smokes, the later 2 being illegal in some countries like France, hence why if you light a flare in France it's even more impressive (I have a friend who was banned from the stadium for 2 or 3 years because he lit a flare against Paris, but when I was living in Bulgaria I was free to hold a flare in the main stand of CSKA). They didn't even include Zenit Saint Petersburg which was elected best ultras 2019 or 2020 (can't remember), their tifos are absolutely artwork, the paintings in the Hermitage museum are ridiculous next to them. They could also have included CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow.
But yeah, for some teams the show is in the stand, not on the pitch, especially because the biggest teams don't have such good support as their stadium are filled with tourists etc. I admit that when I go to the stadium, I barely watch the game.

In germany we have a very very big fan culture in soccer clubs. We as germans are not permitted to be proud of our country cause of the second world war even its about 70 years ago. So a lot of people looking for a community or group to get the feeling of pride for something and share that feeling with other people..
The chants and flares are a sign that we're ready for war.
The Ultras are an organized group that coordinate everything with the club and stadium and authorities. Sometimes negotiations take place, but overall safe for everyone.

American : uhh this flare smoke is bad for your health

The fires are most of the time before the game. They usually wait till all the smoke is gone before starting the game. Btw PAOK is in greece
