@all, welcome to our channel with many nice vids of different European football matches. Yes, German sports fans love to chant and cheer in stadiums. We all enjoyed this wonderful lifetime experience at NFL Munich Game 2022. Thanks to NFL for making it happen. Welcome to Germany for NFL Frankfurt Game 2023. We are thankful if you can leave a 'like' or a comment and share with friends. See you!
There's a West Virginia in Germany, LOL. Glad you enjoyed it! It's great when we all enjoy each other's company and are not being torn apart are the elites. How about when soldiers came together to sing Holy Night and then the next morning went back to fighting, so sad. God bless and happy New Year
@Stefan Jager Thank you. We got yours. Thank you for being our indispensable partner during the Cold War. Sadly, it's time for your citizens to arm up again. Europe needs you.
I'm an old man nearing the end of his life. I've never liked this song until the last few months. Now I understand and respect the song for how beautiful and touching it is. How it embraces and celebrates rural America. The simplistic life of someone living in West Virginia. To hear all these people, and Germans no less, singing this song in English, brings a tear to my eye. I couldn't sing a song in German. But you have 75,000 people all together singing this beautiful song. Thank you to everyone who was there that night, to everyone there in spirit, those that passed on before they could be there and those that keep the beauty of this moment alive.
Your words say a song connects so many fans no matter where they come from. The game was great and the fans celebrated both teams. I still get goose bumps when I see those scenes. I will never forget it and I think also everyone who was there or watched it on TV. Like Tom Brady said "It was awesome" 👌👍🙋♀️
As an American, I am absolutely humbled too see so many Germans embracing something so decidedly American in both the sport and the song. My appreciation goes out to every last one of you.
Well, if you take it carefully, you Americans are also all immigrant Europeans and the largest community in America comes from Germany! (46% as much as I know).
Not only Germans... this was an Event for all of Europe. Germany is more or less located in the center of Europe. So for example the distance between Madrid and Munich is roughly 120 miles shorter then Tampa-New York, or Boston-Buffalo is roughly Rome-Munich Seattle-San Francisco is Warsaw-Munich, Indianapolis-Minneapolis is Paris-Munich... I think you get the point! So the ticket sale was open to everyone in Europe and people came from all over to watch this game! Just shows what the NFL should do more often... dont you think?
We 'sent' you Henry John Deutschendorf Sr. It's only fitting that his son then wrote and performed a song that would go on to become very popular in both our countries! "Deutschendorf" literally means "village of the Germans".
I have been there. As I entered the stadium and saw all the people with all these different Football Jerseys, of any team you can think off. I was deeply touched. It was like the entire world came together to build a football nation. Never seen such an atmosphere before.
true words, BigTasteXL. But that is Football like it is here. That's the VERY BIG DIFFERENCE to those stupid and aggressive soccer fans. Unimaginable that soccer fans of 2 teams could make party hours before kickoff or 2-3 days before the game in the city.
Music is the international language we all know and love. Music seriously connects people and their feelings. When I first saw this I felt like I loved everyone on the planet. Peace brother... your comment is well said.
I am John Otto Magee. An American. From Philadelphia. Born in 1959. Living in Germany 30 years. Did you folks, both Germans and Americans, know that John Denver's birth name was John Deutschman? That's right, an American of German descent. For all you Americans who have ever had your doubts about the German people, I say with all my heart and all my mind that the German people are a great people. Just listen to them singing their hearts out. German men. Singing an American song. Let's stay together, brothers, men, Germans and Americans.
@@marywinn8953 Hi Mary Winn:When you watch the camera pan the crowd you will see mostly men. I don't think German women are much interested in American football.
I mean, it's not like historically there aren't valid reasons for people to have doubted Germans. I understand that these people weren't part of that and 99.9% of them don't agree with their past, but them singing a song together about another country doesn't just sweep mass torture and murder of millions under the rug, and remove a reason that some may still doubt.
I'm getting goosebumps!!!! What an unbelievable atmosphere! You, my German friends, kick some serious ass! Tons of love from Chicago! Deutschland rules!!!! 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸
@@judithoberpaul509 Thank you guys for an amazing atmosphere! You made my knees buckle! We definitely need many more games in Germany! Tons of love! ❤❤❤🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
@@darthsaya8032 Thanks for your nice feeback We have 4 games coming. 2022 - 2025. Next year in Frankfurt. 2024 again in Munich. 2025 again in Frankfurt. The teams are already set. The game in Munich absolutely convinced the NFL. I still get goose bumps when I see the video. Greetings to Chicago from Munich ❤️👍🙋♀️
Completely stuck with awe that nearly a million Germans tried to get seats for an American sport, the ones that were lucky enough to attend were singing Country Roads in unison, brought a tear to my eye. Just looked like everyone was happy, not a care in the world, enjoying life... we all need to get back to this.
Would have been even greater if they do what we do in Football and either sing our own songs or before the game,THe P A System starts and fades out leaving just the crowd as it was at the very end here I am in my Seventh decade of attending Football matches in London:)
@@drgeff1 Bro. We are a completely new generation that is totaly ashamed of the past. We also have living ancestors who experienced the horrors as children. This new generation is working very hard to ensure this never happens again and all of us are still paying for this in many ways, although it wasn't our fault. I was born in the late 80's and I'm paying for things my ancestors fleed from and never anticipated. It's completely correct to always have this event in our minds but please stop the hate. This is not H Germany anymore and never will be again.
@@drgeff1 17 Million Germans died in WW2 and in the Years after, the most (11 Million) after WW2. For Example, the "Rheinwiesenlager" was a Holocaust against Germans.

Yes, I'm amazed it has taken so long for the NFL to play a real game in Germany. The NFL is far more popular in Germany than in England. Germany is the country that the NFL should have more games overseas.
@@jerryv7411lot has to do with USAs military presence their after WWII, playing at the army bases, then Germany started their first club league in the 70s, so there’s a lot of lifelong fans there. Read somewhere that a lot of the evolution of the game actually happened there too, like different formations and passing concepts, definitely a deeper connection than what seems like kind of surface level interest from most of the UK
John Denver looked down from the sky at the arena, heard the 75,000 people singing his world hit and smiled. It's so nice to see that fans from different teams celebrate this great sport peacefully and together. This shows me that humanity is not completely lost yet. I am happy that Germany will have the NFL as a guest for more years. It is great
It´s also a *Volk* Song to us. on every goog party with *very old* People* laugh* we sing it..good old days where music was about love and having a good time.
Germany, contrary to all prejudices, it's a great country with lots of great people. When 65,000 people passionately sing an American song...you don't see that often!
@@alexanderotto7050 Not at all, lmao. He's probably referring to some residual sentiment from WWII that I've never heard anyone express in my lifetime.
@@alexanderotto7050 well there are still a LOT of americans (and english people) who live in the past and try to use every moment to bring WW2 into every dicussion about germany. Its probably bad education, prejudice and arrogance.

This is without a doubt I think one of the most beautiful moments of people just coming together and sharing a moment together putting everything aside and just living in the moment.
That was so cool. In the States all us fans know they play music between the plays and stop when the team comes to the line, so the fans stop singing..... but here they just keep it going, amazing to watch and hear.
It is like this before,all thru' and after a Football game in Europe and South America, in particular. I am in my seventh decade of attending Football in London and we hate The P A System trying to tell us what and when to sing,my friend:)
John Denver's worldwide popularity has long been something most Americans have never understood. I was on a business trip to India and was invited to a small social gathering at an Indian colleagues home. He was playing American music to please me, the only American at the party and he showed me one old battered cassette which held the John Denver cassette he was playing most of the time. The only John Denver music he had. He held it like it was a bar of gold or a religious icon it meant that much to him and how Denver's music represented so much of what he wanted to believe which was good about the world. Its not a cliche to say that John Denver is truly missed.
Well…now I’m in tears. This was beautiful. 75,000 people in a packed stadium in Germany of all places singing a John Denver song of all things. Awesome.
This song just goes to show that the song isn’t just about West Virginia, but it’s a metaphor about how at the end of the day, we all have a home, and how we all have a trail that leads back to our roots.
At 13 I flew to Stuttgart to see my sister and brother in law. Spent a day or two in other countries and everyone was so nice. But the time I was in Stuttgart I met the most wonderful people in the world. Thank you Germany and your people for making my trip the best I've ever hard,
Nice Atmosphere indeed, but pretty much standard for a german first or second division soccer game. Different songs, but support the whole time. 😉 Greetz from Hamburg, Germany.
@@Caelestan But not all Soccer Fans sing together and make party together. In Muinch the fan party starts during the week and of course hours before kickoff in the stadium area and people stay in the stadium after the game and singing together. None of that you will have for soccer games. And another big difference is, that there are no hulligans and other stupid people. Football fans are family - no matter what team
@@brandytvMUC Well, to be fair, there have been incidents from time to time at NFL and other American sporting events. Some people can get a bit too aggressive after drinking and start to use foul language even when there are children present. Luckily, there are a smal minority...at least at the games I have attended.
One may leave West Virginia, but West Virginia never leaves them. Even in Munich they know where ALMOST HEAVEN is located. Cold chills for this WV boy! I am English/American--but now I am English/German American.
Yes his father I believe. Many German immigrants settled in Minnesota and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where the weather and farming country is most like Germany I think. Germany has come so far in 70 years This due the funding and help from other country's and the hard work of its people. Now back to its greatness pre ww11. .
Germans and Americans are like brothers of the same family. They fight brutally over things. But, they reunite over a glass of beer and John Denver songs.
I am Italian and I love this song, every time i hear it, some tears drops from my eyes… when I went in the USA a country band played it in a bar in Utah and I was magnifico!
This would make John Denver smile big and bright. I heard a singer say once, that the best thing for a singer or band is to hear their fans singing their songs right with them. I’d like to think John was there too singing with them.
I wish John Denver was around to see this. He would have loved it. The crowd actually kept on singing after the recording was over and the play was under way.
I wonder if this crowd had any idea they'd be the talk of the US the day after this happened. Everyone I know here in New York was talking about this, football fan or not
Goosebumps, teary eyes. Mein Gott. Wish I could be there to witness. This is incredible. And how lucky we are to have internet to share such moments at least on a web
My middle name is denver and obviously Named after John denver as my dad was on his security team.. my dad was the guard who looked after his kids whilst he was away singing on tour.... im just grateful I was named after the legend who made country what it is today
This song is a true folk song, its meaning its feeling transcends boundaries. Not everyone knows West Virginia, but everyone knows the feeling of coming back home no matter what.
Moved to wv may of 2021 from Florida and I don’t think I’m ever going back I love how peaceful and laid back it is here, also don’t have to worry about everyone being In your business.
Watching this game for me was one of the most epic things I've seen in the NFL. I'm a Seahawks fan and even though we lost this one the vibe in that place just gave me feel good chills all over!

I love how the German crowd picks up the song after the music stops.

Is like a Tick, you must finish the line... 😜
The song is/ was quite popular in Germany so most Germans know the text....
its not like we never heard the song before

We love IT to🥳🥳
As an American it's impossible for me to dislike this. Well done, my German friends.
Thank you and love from Germany
John Denver will Not be forgotten
I like this song
In europe, this is not a typical American song. To us it's one of the best afterski anthems.
i really wished more of us Americans would return that favor
75,000 people in another country singing your song, you've truly made folk music. Well done John Denver.
Quite a famous song in the erstwhile West Germany
Love this song from 🇮🇳, I drive on highway and thinking this is my West Virginia 😂
It's the universal song of Heimweh (longing for home) and coming home.
Fun fact: John Denver was born as John Deutschendorf

That was so cool. In the States all us fans know they play music between the plays and stop when the team comes to the line, so the fans stop singing..... but here they just keep it going, amazing to watch and hear.
You should hear a soccer game. The fans sing/chant the entirety of the game
It is like this before,all thru' and after a Football game in Europe and South America, in particular.
I am in my seventh decade of attending Football in London and we hate The P A System trying to tell us what and when to sing,my friend:)
John Denver's worldwide popularity has long been something most Americans have never understood. I was on a business trip to India and was invited to a small social gathering at an Indian colleagues home. He was playing American music to please me, the only American at the party and he showed me one old battered cassette which held the John Denver cassette he was playing most of the time. The only John Denver music he had. He held it like it was a bar of gold or a religious icon it meant that much to him and how Denver's music represented so much of what he wanted to believe which was good about the world. Its not a cliche to say that John Denver is truly missed.
That is such a cool story hahaha
Well…now I’m in tears. This was beautiful. 75,000 people in a packed stadium in Germany of all places singing a John Denver song of all things. Awesome.
If you don't get chills from this video, is because you're dead inside.
Greetings from NY. Love Munich, just visited back in July. This crowd was stunning. Thank you Munich and thank you Germany. Go Bayern!!!
Have a good one Robert, livebfrim Germany
@@mikemathias1562 you too 🇩🇪🇺🇸
Greetings back from Munich🥰
This song just goes to show that the song isn’t just about West Virginia, but it’s a metaphor about how at the end of the day, we all have a home, and how we all have a trail that leads back to our roots.
Just beautiful!!! Thank you Germany, for having us...... We loved watching the game, with such pleasure from you!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🏈🏈🏈..........
Thank you for coming here
Thanks and greetings from 🇩🇪 to 🇺🇸
At 13 I flew to Stuttgart to see my sister and brother in law. Spent a day or two in other countries and everyone was so nice. But the time I was in Stuttgart I met the most wonderful people in the world. Thank you Germany and your people for making my trip the best I've ever hard,
So come back for another visit 👌Greetings from Munich 👍💯🙋♀️
My niece and her husband was at a bar in Germany and everybody knew the song. They were treated like gold because they like me are from West Virginia.
😊😊😊👍
Stunning atmosphere ❤️🔥
Nice Atmosphere indeed, but pretty much standard for a german first or second division soccer game. Different songs, but support the whole time. 😉

@@Caelestan But not all Soccer Fans sing together and make party together. In Muinch the fan party starts during the week and of course hours before kickoff in the stadium area and people stay in the stadium after the game and singing together. None of that you will have for soccer games. And another big difference is, that there are no hulligans and other stupid people.
Football fans are family - no matter what team
@@brandytvMUC Well, to be fair, there have been incidents from time to time at NFL and other American sporting events. Some people can get a bit too aggressive after drinking and start to use foul language even when there are children present. Luckily, there are a smal minority...at least at the games I have attended.
@@brandytvMUC 💯👍🤗
This was beautiful. Go humanity go!
❤
One may leave West Virginia, but West Virginia never leaves them.
Even in Munich they know where ALMOST HEAVEN is located.
Cold chills for this WV boy!
I am English/American--but now I am English/German American.
This has gotta be the most American song ever. Beautiful.
John Denver was of German descent. “Country Roads” is sung at every Biergarten during Oktoberfest.
not only when the Oktoberfest is. Its just embedded in German party culture
Yes his father I believe. Many German immigrants settled in Minnesota and Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin where the weather and farming country is most like Germany I think. Germany has come so far in 70 years
This due the funding and help from other country's and the hard work of its people. Now back to its greatness pre ww11.
.
@@russscott552German descent sure..but his dad is an American.
Watch it for the 100th time and still have goose bumps. One of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever seen in a stadium. Football is Family 🏈❤️
Football... Yes..
Eggball... Nope...
It's handball
💯👍🙋♀️
Wow. As an American, all I can say is I wish I'd been in that crowd, singing my heart out with 75,000 other people.
Germans and Americans are like brothers of the same family. They fight brutally over things. But, they reunite over a glass of beer and John Denver songs.
Wow. I didn't know American Football was this popular in Germany. Respect.
I'm a German Cardinals fan and I'm crying after this comment 🇩🇪❤️🇺🇸
@@MaxWUltra after seeing this I’d die for you people. The best fans in the NFL. Love you man. God bless the friendly kind loving German people
Cheers to the stadium crew guy that decided to play this and created one of the greatest/most wholesome moments in NFL history!
I am Italian and I love this song, every time i hear it, some tears drops from my eyes… when I went in the USA a country band played it in a bar in Utah and I was magnifico!
Hey Germans. We fought against each other once. Let us be together now. ❤
To Germany with love from America!!!
Ich war live im Stadion. Es war Gänsehaut pur! Toll!
Which team were you supporting
That will not be forgotten 🏈👍🙋♀️
We need more events like this to bring the world together ✌🏻
God Bless America. We love you and will always be with you. We are proud to call you our Friends. God bless America 🇩🇪♥️🇺🇸 from Germany
Biggest bullshit lie I’ve read all day😂 Europeans hate Americans and the United States, what you guys “love” is the talent the comes from our country💀
@@whereisyourtie they don’t love us in the slightest my guy😂 are you not aware of how horribly Europeans speak of us?
@@whereisyourtie I love Europeans they don’t like us
This would make John Denver smile big and bright. I heard a singer say once, that the best thing for a singer or band is to hear their fans singing their songs right with them. I’d like to think John was there too singing with them.
Hello German friends! This is BEAUTIFUL! With love from Florida!!!
Thank you :) love from Germany :)
Beautiful, seventy thousand + in another country singing John Denver "County Road ". The way we should live and harmoning together on this planet ...
I wish John Denver was around to see this. He would have loved it. The crowd actually kept on singing after the recording was over and the play was under way.
One of my favorite song. Love from India 🌻
It just shows you that music is universal. This is beautiful.
I’m not crying, i’m just bleeding clear from my eyes
American here. I teared up a bit. Many thanks.
This is so beautiful. Much love Germany 🇺🇸🇩🇪
GERMANY!!!!! I really enjoyed yalls fan base hopefully they get yall a team sooner than later
Beautiful!!! See we aren't all that different!! music brings us together!! Much love to our German Friends!
As a west virginian i thank you
Me too, so chas boy (68)
I wonder if this crowd had any idea they'd be the talk of the US the day after this happened. Everyone I know here in New York was talking about this, football fan or not
Wow that's great:) greetings from Germany:)
That is so cool. I got messages from friends across the US. They were so excited. Greetings from Munich 😃🙋♀️
@@judithoberpaul509 greetings from west virginia, we loved to see this!!!!💙💛
Germany we LOVE YOU, this was such an awesome thing to see as an American.
Goosebumps, teary eyes. Mein Gott. Wish I could be there to witness. This is incredible. And how lucky we are to have internet to share such moments at least on a web
It was awesome. I can watch it again and again. I was there myself and will never forget it
I cry to the dumbest shit, lmao. This was a pleasure to watch.
Healthy and in tune emotions, brother... peace.
Don’t RUclips search “Canadians help save US national anthem after mic cuts out” so
My middle name is denver and obviously Named after John denver as my dad was on his security team.. my dad was the guard who looked after his kids whilst he was away singing on tour.... im just grateful I was named after the legend who made country what it is today
This was honestly the best part about the entire 2022 NFL season, and nothing else comes close.
This song is a true folk song, its meaning its feeling transcends boundaries. Not everyone knows West Virginia, but everyone knows the feeling of coming back home no matter what.
Rest In Peace John Denver. You made beautiful music that brings people together, all around the world.
Country Road is awesome! a John Denver great. Thx Germany.
Nothing gives me goosebumps like hearing a whole crowd sing or chant, absolutely amazing
I have tears watching this.😢
Warms my heart, much love Germany
Thank you from a Mountaineer. I needed this.
As a West Virginian this makes me happy.
as a West Virginian who family has lived here since the early 1700's , this song speaks to our soul .
John Denver. American Icon and Legend. Nothing better than showing respect to America than signing Country Roads!!!
I'm moving to Germany....
BEAUTIFUL!
I guess everyone around the world has that country road that will take them home in their hearts :)
💯👍🙋♀️
Yep, every country, even those living on small islands have roads and those living in urban areas have roads...
@@ronclark9724genius! Congrats 👏 👏 👏
i got goosebumps reading this
I live in West Virginia, y’all need to come and see what a Wild, Wonderful Place West Virginia is ❤
I wish Americans would have as much pride! Danke Munich!!!!
As a West Virginian You can bet we do 🔥🤟 Thank you so much Germany!!!!
As much pride? I thought Americans are setting the bar high when it comes to patriotism? :D
How I wish John was alive to see this.
Voice of pure men.
New to WV, here since 2020 and it is that cool of a place...I’ll never leave.
Moved to wv may of 2021 from
Florida and I don’t think I’m ever going back I love how peaceful and laid back it is here, also don’t have to worry about everyone being In your business.
Not sure there's a youtube video that brings me more pleasure.
I still get goosebumps when I see that. It was magical 👍💯🙋♀️
@@judithoberpaul509100%
Watching this game for me was one of the most epic things I've seen in the NFL. I'm a Seahawks fan and even though we lost this one the vibe in that place just gave me feel good chills all over!
I agree.I was there myself and will never forget it. It was awesome 👍
As a German-American, this hits so hard 🇩🇪❤🇺🇸
