This was not fire in the stands but thousands of hand held flares. They are illegal, but organized fans smuggle them inside the stadiums. You were saying about the Fire Marshal, he wouldn't dare shut anything down because there would be a full scale riot. In the US people go to see the games, in Europe and Latin America people go to participate in the games. Players of the home teams consider their fans as the "extra player on the field".
Those fireworks would be more or less everywhere in the stadiums in Europe. It's not allowed in most places and the teams have to pay a lot if it happens in their stadium. It still happens from time to time. I wouldn't consider this as top fans who do that. By the way, don't watch videos about new years eve in Germany if you are shocked by stupid use of fireworks by drunken people. ruclips.net/video/5b-1q6CE9ks/видео.html Germans are very serious in doing things. Even if it's about blowing up your own city, havoc, destruction and such.
It’s flares they are setting off and some other fireworks, honestly you should review an Ultras video and see some of the pyro displays and corteos they do, it’s absolutely next level
@silverrahul Probably something to do with the fact they can burn and/or kill people (and have done). Not everyone is safe when handling literal fire and setting off explosions, there is a reason they are banned in many countries. It may look chaotic and amazing, but it is still potentially very dangerous.
@silverrahul And yet, the opposition don't care when they've likely seen it many times already, even in their own stadium. So that's not really the point, it's more cus people just think it looks cool and they like to play with flares/fireworks.
Pyro culture is essential on European (except UK) and South American football stadiums. There's no football game without pyro and smoke bombs. Every football club have ultras groups who are in charge for pyrotechnics, chants and choreography
"You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers and Hammerstein Musical "Carousel". Gerry and the pacemakers were a 60's Merseybeat group who did a cover, and the song became adopted by Liverpool FC. I think this became further imbedded in the club after the Hillsborough disaster, as a memorial for the 96 who died. Borussia Dortmund and Celtic as well as lots of other clubs also adopted the song. I'm not a Liverpool fan, but I did visit Anfield as a kid. Seeing the kop stand, sing and hold their scarfs, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's almost like a religious experience.
I'm biased, but having stood on the Kop since I was 8 in 1978, then sat in various parts of the ground, I can testify, it is a religious experience. sadly, the lack of local fans (not just with LFC) in the Premier League, has reduced the impact somewhat of match day atmosphere.
As a Liverpool fan and someone who had family at Hillsbrough "Never Walk Alone" is something of a promise or oath to those lost and their familes that we stand together and will not forget what happened or them.
@@octaviussludberry9016 there is zero atmosphere in the epl today, its all "modern football" just look how the yank owners of the big teams including yours tried to set up their own super league, and pull your clubs out of theirs.
@@joshthomas-moore2656 I see.........BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TIME YOU LOT CRUSHED UP THE ITALIAN FANS in Heysel???? 39 people dead, 600 injured........Oh but that doesn't matter to "Reds Animals" does it? because I guess Hillsbrough is the only one right? Universe paid you lot back since it was liverpool fans that charged at heysel into the juventus section and crushed up all those people with no where to go. HOW ABOUT THOSE FAMILIES scouse?
Absolutely!!... Americans are always outraged by the 'danger' of pyros in crowds yet tolerate an out-of-control gun culture and murder on a mass scale.
When Liverpool played Borussia Dortmund in European competition in Liverpool a few years ago there was an 8-minute stand of as BOTH sets of fans continuously sang You'll Never Walk Alone :)
@@BlackBass because they are a super advanced society, flares are super dangerous and if you are moron you could burn someone. They would never allow something that dangerous to be legal, it's not like they can buy guns with almost no regulations and carry them around because "freedom". Fireworks guys are the dangerous people
@@それは私です-o4h as mentioned above, they're super fans who go above and beyond the normal fan who just shows up to games to cheer. They organize tifos, pyros, banners and to some extent the chants and songs the regular fans sing along with. They're almost like the commandants of the fans
We should have a HOOLIGAN OLYMPICS. Hows 1000 vs 1000 or more sound? Im sure even 10 thousand vs 10 thousand would be up for it. Also bitts & pieces should be allowd to make it quite interesting too. I wonder who would make the finals....I am sure one half of the OLD FIRM would be there, how ever who else???
This was actually funny seeing you freak out with flares and such. They might not be super safe, and I think they have been banned in some stadiums, but I don't think nothing major has ever happened. And it makes for an amazing atmosphere, nothing you'll experience in any other sport ever! Btw I'm glad Argentina was #1, cause usually these videos are too euro centric, and imo fans in south america are just next level with their passion and chanting
Been loving your channel for a while now the football stuff you've been looking into is great. It's always nice ro see an American look into the sport and try to understand why the rest if the worl loves the beautiful game.
As John Cleese famously said on American TV: "We like football a lot - in fact we like lots of sports but we invite other countries to our world championships"
Roma’s stadium was used for two matches in Euro 2020. Borussia Dortmund are playing the same music as was played at anfield Liverpool, Liverpool fans have been singing You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and The Pacemakers for decades. Abroad they use lots of flares which are banned in football stadiums in Britain.
As a Norwegian who got a few American friends who don’t care to watch this kind of stuff, I love your reactions😂 I bet my friends would be the same if they saw what we’re doing
Yes, Borussia Dortmund also sing "You'll never walk alone", but (as all other fans aswell) they have many more songs that are only about their cluband these are German, but this song just embodies the mentality of the club and the people so perfectly they sing it every time
The song the japanese fans of the Urawa Reds Diamonds sing was made famous by Rod Stewart, a british singer. It's about a sailor returning to his love. The URD fans made their own text to the music, showing their love to the club.
Flares are common in Greece and Eastern Europe. They are not dangerous and they create an amazing atmosphere in the games as you saw at that PAOK clip( which happens to be the team that I support⚫⚪🇬🇷). Nice video and you could react at other ultra videos
imo to have only Borussia Dortmund as the only german team is kinda wrong of corse they have the best atmosphere but schalke or vfb stuttgart or Dresden are up there. It is his opinion
Despite being a Tranmere Rovers fan, I love Liverpool YNWA ,and the Johnny Todd tune that plays when Everton's players run out, here at Prenton park we have the Rockford files ..!!??...good post SoGal...E
5:10 There are club anthems, sung before games, not all the time, but some clubs have some unique chants during the game 7:49 Yup, Stadio Olimpico is a home ground of AS Roma and it was one of the venues for EURO 2020(1) 10:24 They should show "the yellow wall" for Borussia. Also Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have the same anthem, just replaced the team name in the lyrics, so that's not unheard of. 12:07 Flares are very popular among sport fans in Eastern Europe. I think some leagues banned them (and not as a safety hazard, but because of the smoke spoiling visibility), so they may be not so common now, but few years ago there were flares in every league game in my country.
Really glad to see my team Celtic on here P.S we also sing You'll Never Walk Alone. The song was made by a band called Gerry and the Pacemakers. (Well the version everyone knows anyway, it's originally from a musical) They're from Liverpool so makes sense that Liverpool used it before any other club (and there's a reason for Liverpool using it but I'll let you watch the video you were going to watch to find out about that) but a few clubs use the song
10:07: Yes, it is the same song. It's from the musical Carousel by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein (1945) and was covered by Gerry & the Pacemakers from Liverpool in 1963. Many clubs use it.
You can react to Chant Ultras - 'World's Best Ultras with Lyrics and Translation (Part 1)' They don't have copyright music (at least I don't think so).
Well, you react to european fans, i recomend you to see the really football fans in latin america, see some videos of Argentinian fans, like Boca Juniors, Rosario Central(the #2), Newells Old boys, and the Uruguai fans, Penarol and Nacional. I recomend you the derby games and finals, where the fans go crazy.
@@henrydauseb2844 Yes, in the second leg of the final, River Plate fans throw rocks and stones on Boca Junior's bus in the entrance of the stadium. Thoose rocks hit and injurie some players, and they moved the final to Madrid in order to Buenos Aires. The first game was 2x2 so was kind a 'One match' final, something that Libertadores addopted nowadays to the final.
I find it interesting watching American reactions to some football celebrations. You ask if they've cleared people out of the way for the fireworks, as though there are officials involved in the 'pyrotechnics'. There are no officials behind this, no risk assessments, etc. it's just fans bringing their own flares and fireworks to the game. It always makes me sad to see American sports stadiums have to put on bands, play music on speakers and get cheerleaders to cajole supporters into doing anything. In most European countries the fans make their own entertainment and the officials just stand watching in despair hoping they don't cause too much damage.
NOW.............NOW.............NOW.................NOW................NOW... That was me trying to guess the exact moment, when the penny would drop, during the Borussia Dortmund one 😂 Also, I didn't know you are a pyrotechnician. You should know more than anyone that 'NO PYRO, NO PARTY' 🥳🥳🥳
The Japanese song is actually a version of a song by Rod Stewart " We are sailing" which was also used as the theme song for a series of programmes about the Royal Naval Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.
I've been waiting to see your reaction to the fireworks ever since you started looking into football. I was laughing like a maniac for a good 10 minutes of the video...
"How is that safe?" It's just not... The fire you see comes most likely from flares that fans smuggled into the stadium. So there was no fire marshall involved in the whole thing. It is not allowed but there is nothing anyone can do once it is started. However, the football clubs get punished by the corresponding football organisation if that happens (fines or they are forced to play some games without fans)
As a pyrotechnic you really should watch Rammstein singing Du Hast in Paris. It will amaze and shock you, it does all Americans. Well worth 5 minutes of RUclips time.
@@BLooDyWereWoLF666 I haven't seen Rammstein live yet. I am a photo-sensitive epileptic so the lights at a live concert would trigger fits. Fortunately I can still see them at home and appreciate their work.
Also a tip: look for videos with subtitles for songs, i believe "O canto das torcidas" in RUclips has a lot of them, I reccomend Fluminense 2008 final in Maracanã or any Raja Casablanca video really
The Stadio Olimpico is the largest sports facility in Rome, Italy, seating over 70,000 spectators. It is located within the Foro Italico sports complex, north of the city. The structure is owned by the Italian National Olympic Committee and it is used primarily for association football. The Stadio Olimpico is the home stadium of the Roma and Lazio football clubs, and also hosts the Coppa Italia final. It was rebuilt for the 1990 FIFA World Cup and it hosted the tournament final.
The tune of "You'll never Walk Alone" has always traditionally been associated with Liverpool FC - though it's been adopted by others, of course. It comes from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Carousel" of 1956 but popularised by the Merseyside pop group Gerry & the Pacemakers during the the 1960s.
So talking about health and safety have you seen the Flaming Tar Barrels of Ottery yet ? (hint they carry the barrel while it burns). P.s. but I hate football and still enjoyed your vid, love the freak out lol
Hey SoGal, you need to know that those "Pyro-Blinker-and smoke stuff" is illegal in europe as well. Always when those things happens the clubs get heavy fines (german POV). Everyone is scanned before going into stadium. So the fans break into the stadium a few days before the game to hide the pyrotechnics. 🙋🏼♂️
18:45- Yes is very comum especially in East Europe and south America. North African fans are also very passionate. Watch the big ones in Marroco Waydad and Raja Casablanca
marvellous reaction start at 15.55 and after more and more impressive! So shocking lady when you said "no!no!no!no!nooooooo!!! you cant have fireworks effects"!!!😅😂 Sure they have and they do! greating from France! 😍
in your approach to understand european football, it becomes essential for you to understand the culture of the supporters and their overflowing passion. the Copa90 video "Why ultras are important to football" and that can be a good idea for a video 😉👌
In the PAOK, Greece segment ACDC's Hell's Bells is playing in the background while teams are entering before kick off, so flares add some flair to the experience.
the difference between an american fan and non-american is that the first understand sport as an entertainment and in Europe and South America as a battle.
sports entertainment indeed....that is why they tried to set up the supper league with their rich buddies pissing on all of us "poor" people who are no more then low lifes to them, how ever they seemed to have forgotten that theres quite a few generations involved and invested into our clubs.....how ever im sure they will sadly win in the end
#9 was "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, which itself was a cover of a Sutherland Brothers written song. The Sutherland Brothers began their career in 1968 as A New Generation, having some success with the single "Smokie Blues Away" (which used a melody based on the second movement of Dvořák's New World Symphony), backed with "She's a Soldier Boy" on Spark. Subsequently with the Sutherland Brothers Band (featuring bassist Kim Ludman[4] and drummer Neil Hopwood), they won a new recording contract with Island Records and put out an album in 1972. Their first single as the Sutherland Brothers Band was under this contract, and was a minor hit, "The Pie", in January 1972. Their follow-up single was "Sailing", which had much radio play but was commercially unsuccessful (it was later covered by Rod Stewart).[3]
13:00: "what's the point?" - Sums up American reaction to European soccer perfectly. -:) Seriously: of course, you have a point. These fires are crazy. (But unfortunately quite common in soccer stadiums).
5:30 You said you were going to watch a video about Liverpool and/or the History of the song "You'll Never Walk Alone". It's nearly a year ago and I can't seem to find that video on your channel.
hi i'm from rosario.. argentina and a rosario central's fan.. proud to be the number 1 there :) to give you some context that's the welcome to the team in the day of the derby of the city.. rosario central vs newell's old boys (club where messi started to play).. the rivalry here is something that a lot of people can't understand.. the air gets thicker and thicker since one week before the game.. and to answer your question.. yes the fireworks and flares are dangerous.. they make some space between the fireworks and the people but not enough at all.. in argentina we already had a big tragedy due to flares inside a night club but it's part of our culture i guess.. even yet i guess the use of flares and fireworks is decreasing
The Liverpool song, "You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers & Hammerstein Broadway musical, Carousel. Liverpool fans have been singing this one for decades and its a spine-tingling experience to hear 50,000 voices singing it at Anfield (Liverpool's stadium). In the 1960s, Liverpool fans also used to sing all the hit songs by The Beatles and other bands of the Mersey Beat. Supporters of Glasgow Celtic and Borussia Dortmund also sing "You'll Never Walk Alone", ironically to the same Gerry Marsden soundtrack. By the way, that fire festival you talk about in the video may be the Burning of the Clavie in Burghead, a small town near Elgin in the northeast of Scotland. The Clavie is a burning barrel of tar which is carried shoulder-high through the streets of Burghead by a selected man called the King of the Clavie. Only a native of Burghead can be the King. It's a Scottish New Year celebration unique to Burghead which dates back to Pagan times before the Julian calendar was reformed. It actually takes place on the 11th January to coincide with the old Scottish New Year. There are other similar Pagan New Year celebrations which occur in some Scottish country towns where selected members of the town parade through the streets ahead of the procession, swinging flaming bales of sticks and straw called a flambeau around their head. Judging by your reaction to the flares at the football grounds, it would probably freak you out, but it is relatively safe. Their purpose is to ward off evil spirits and to prepare for a fruitful year ahead.
Liverpool, said to be the ones who started the singing culture among football fans. I don't know if that's true, but here is a video from 1964, where Panorama (BBC) visited Liverpool to take a look at their singing crowds: ruclips.net/video/oHdSaPt8RyA/видео.html
The 1959 FA Cup final was the first time a song from popular culture was (knowingly) sung at a football match. Forest fans singing the theme tune of The Adventures of Robin Hood (Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen, etc)
"You'll never walk alone" definitely started with Liverpool but nowadays a lot of other clubs have it as a song before the match as well. I'm from Germany and here at least 2 or 3 clubs in the Bundesliga (first Division) sing it. I think it's just a great song that has an even greater message especially within Football. So I guess the german clubs didn't really steal it but embraced it just like Liverpool to present this message that noone in the stadium has to ever walk alone. This bonding really works well with Football I think and I'm glad multiple clubs use it
Great Reaction, as usual. NOW we are getting somewhere as you have been unlucky with Football because of Covid restrictions. Even The Euro Final at Wembley only had 60,000 All Seated with limited flags and yet if you see the previous occasion at The OLD Wembley Stadium when England hosted that event you will see 100,000 fans mostly with English flags, mostly standing up. BIG difference in atmosphere...lol.......You need to see "Ultras-Our Way Of Life"-10,000 Subscribers" to see the better ( and worse ) side of European fans and see "Ultras Greatest Chants Volumes 1,2,3,4.)..Incredible atmospheres in Turkey, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, Holland, Morocco and plenty more.

I'm afraid Banter requires Wit, Intelligence, Humour, Knowledge and an ability to be quick-witted and speak cogently, articulately, mellifluously with a degree of charm, so this lifelong MILLWALL fan from the right side of the River will move swiftly on and commiserate with you for your disappointing season ahead as you no longer have any real Home advantage since that wonderful Boleyn Stadium was burnt to the ground and this season home fans to places like United, Leeds and Everton will return so your away form will plummet. Could be a relegation battle ahead like the good old days :) Let's hope so :)
@@Isleofskye Sorry Einstein, you’ve had more time to get clever being out in the wilderness and being a non-entity club for so long, good luck to ya, what song of Millwalls can SoGal review?
You've overstepped the mark,mon ami .By all means, insult me, my family, my team but, PLEASE. I beseech you, do not incorrectly spell "nonentity". There is absolutely no need for a hyphen. :( SoGal could review "Let 'em Come" really referring to The OLD DEN where we broke the league record with 59 Home games unbeaten or "No-one Likes Us" which we originated in 1987 or "Maybe It's Because I Am A SOUTH EAST Londoner".....Whaddya reckon, mi amigo ? :)
Just a tip: football os not restricted to Europe or Asia, specifically Japan. Check some videos about South American fans in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia... Flares, confetti, banners are common and essential part of our culture.
You’ll never walk alone from Carousel are the anthems of Liverpool and Dortmund in fact the song title is included in Liverpool F C’s wrought iron stadium gates.
@@frarfclin7736 Right because you are the only person who's opinion matters and if anybody disagrees with your opinion they aren't worth your time. If you're not interested then don't bother watching
As someone else has said "You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel" but in Liverpool local band "Gerry and the Pacemakers" released a version in 1963 and it went to No.1 in the UK. They were actually the first UK band to have three consecutive No.1 hits with their three first singles and held that record for many decades. This track was the third of those hits. As a consequence back in 1963 Liverpool fans adopted the song and Gerry has sung the song at Anfield a number of times too. Other clubs also adopted the song like Borussia Dortmund in Germany and also Celtic in Scotland. Celtic is pronounced "Seltic". I know you are 100% right about the fire effects but your face was classic when we got to this bit. We forgot all about the songs when the sparks started to fly. Just to clarify I think what you saw in those last two games was firstly flares, which is why the effect was static and also smoke bombs are used as well which might give the impression that things are on fire. Red smoke bombs. In Argentina however, they do appear to be using fireworks too. The flares are banned in the UK but it still does happen sometimes but it is against the law. I think you see more of this in Eastern Europe and the Baltics but it does happen in the Italian, German and English leagues sometimes.
@@SoGal_YT It's ok lots of people make a similar mistake. If you're interested here's a video on the history of Celtic football club ruclips.net/video/gFWUf_v-CCE/видео.html Might be worth a reaction?
The fans from the big club's in Istanbul are definitely amazing when it comes to the atmosphere it's so loud and intense, especially with there Derby's and rivalries. The fans from the English Premier League with all the rich owners behind them becoming quite boring, the fans of Liverpool FC for example singing their song at the beginning and that's it, in Champions League if they can the foreign fans from the continent do all the stuff for atmosphere, but the tickets are quite expensive for these games in England. The most stadiums in Italy or Spain are almost empty because of the fan unfriendly strange kick-off times. Come to Eintracht Frankfurt, Dynamo Dresden, St.Pauli, Union Berlin or VfB Stuttgart from Germany, before the virus the Stadiums Germany are always full and the German Bundesliga is almost the only that can offer that with a good, not so hateful atmosphere, of course exceptions are always possible. East Europe, Balkans and Greece are massive, but it can be dangerous from time to time, because of some very old rivalries, it's a kind of religion for them.
TOP 10 CRAZIEST FANS WORLDWIDE !! At around 11'20 near the very end, you will see GREMIO fans from Brazil typically celebrate a goal. It's called THE AVALANCHE :)
Welcome to Health & Safety standards around the world. Next up, the almost complete lack of hearing protection in the US while being anal about pyrotechnics....
to be fair, these flares and fireworks are banned just like they'd be in the US but people smuggle them inside, so it's not really the safety standards that's the issue just that football fans, especially ultras, reaaaaally love their flashy lights :D
my Club (Sport Lisboa e Benfica) has an eagle as its symbol. During the club anthem in our home stadium, an eagle flies in the stadium, then goes to land on the club symbol at the center of the field.
Japanese fans are generally known to be polite and very silent during events, especially in MMA, kickboxing etc. But when it comes to football everyone is crazy lol
Don't want to disillusion you,but I think you should be aware that there has been-and still is-a more offensive/unpleasant side to crowd chants & behaviour in football.

American professional: you can't do that.
european and south american football fans: we have techniques you have never even heard of

This was actually funny seeing you freak out with flares and such. They might not be super safe, and I think they have been banned in some stadiums, but I don't think nothing major has ever happened. And it makes for an amazing atmosphere, nothing you'll experience in any other sport ever! Btw I'm glad Argentina was #1, cause usually these videos are too euro centric, and imo fans in south america are just next level with their passion and chanting
11:52 ”oh no… nah-ah”
*OH YES!* Gotta love the pyro and the smoke and the whole thing in general. THIS is powerfull
Ikr as they say no pyro no party!
Tenes que vivirlo para realmente entenderlo.
Been loving your channel for a while now the football stuff you've been looking into is great. It's always nice ro see an American look into the sport and try to understand why the rest if the worl loves the beautiful game.
As John Cleese famously said on American TV: "We like football a lot - in fact we like lots of sports but we invite other countries to our world championships"
14:45 the beauty of south american football
Roma’s stadium was used for two matches in Euro 2020. Borussia Dortmund are playing the same music as was played at anfield Liverpool, Liverpool fans have been singing You’ll Never Walk Alone by Gerry and The Pacemakers for decades. Abroad they use lots of flares which are banned in football stadiums in Britain.
They are banned everywhere fans just don't care
Rodgers and Hammerstein
As a Norwegian who got a few American friends who don’t care to watch this kind of stuff, I love your reactions😂 I bet my friends would be the same if they saw what we’re doing
A scarf is pretty essential when sitting on a January night watching football in the UK. The fact it comes in the team colours is a bonus.
for southerns england is cold even in summer
Wow Greece and Argentina they are crazy with the fire 🔥 and fireworks 💥 good video SK keep up the good work ❤️ 👍
in Italy are prohibited and because of that often they are used
The fact that you're a pyrotechnician just makes it more fun, there's plenty of football pyro stuff on RUclips that would not be good for your heart😅
In Greece at least we dont have school-shootings ;) we prefer the flares in the stadiums..
Yes, Borussia Dortmund also sing "You'll never walk alone", but (as all other fans aswell) they have many more songs that are only about their cluband these are German, but this song just embodies the mentality of the club and the people so perfectly they sing it every time
The song the japanese fans of the Urawa Reds Diamonds sing was made famous by Rod Stewart, a british singer. It's about a sailor returning to his love. The URD fans made their own text to the music, showing their love to the club.
Flares are common in Greece and Eastern Europe. They are not dangerous and they create an amazing atmosphere in the games as you saw at that PAOK clip( which happens to be the team that I support⚫⚪🇬🇷). Nice video and you could react at other ultra videos
Even in North Africa
I love your content and football so thank you for making me smile
11:39 the Greeks really like to turn it up to 11 with the celebrating.
And the chants most times are as vulgar as they can be! A translation of them on a youtube video would have the video banned immediately!
The Olimpico in Rome was indeed used for at least three matches in the group stage of Euro 2020, and later on for England - Ukraine, IIRC.
lmao! watching you with the pyros had me laughing out loud!
imo to have only Borussia Dortmund as the only german team is kinda wrong of corse they have the best atmosphere but schalke or vfb stuttgart or Dresden are up there. It is his opinion
And Frankfurt
@@stavas05 true the knossi picture xD
Despite being a Tranmere Rovers fan, I love Liverpool YNWA ,and the Johnny Todd tune that plays when Everton's players run out, here at Prenton park we have the Rockford files ..!!??...good post SoGal...E
5:10 There are club anthems, sung before games, not all the time, but some clubs have some unique chants during the game
7:49 Yup, Stadio Olimpico is a home ground of AS Roma and it was one of the venues for EURO 2020(1)
10:24 They should show "the yellow wall" for Borussia. Also Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have the same anthem, just replaced the team name in the lyrics, so that's not unheard of.
12:07 Flares are very popular among sport fans in Eastern Europe. I think some leagues banned them (and not as a safety hazard, but because of the smoke spoiling visibility), so they may be not so common now, but few years ago there were flares in every league game in my country.
Really glad to see my team Celtic on here
P.S we also sing You'll Never Walk Alone. The song was made by a band called Gerry and the Pacemakers. (Well the version everyone knows anyway, it's originally from a musical) They're from Liverpool so makes sense that Liverpool used it before any other club (and there's a reason for Liverpool using it but I'll let you watch the video you were going to watch to find out about that) but a few clubs use the song
This is definitely my most favorite American Reacts to Football fans video. :D
The moment she find out about flares was priceless. :)
10:07: Yes, it is the same song. It's from the musical Carousel by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein (1945) and was covered by Gerry & the Pacemakers from Liverpool in 1963. Many clubs use it.
You can react to Chant Ultras - 'World's Best Ultras with Lyrics and Translation (Part 1)' They don't have copyright music (at least I don't think so).
Well, you react to european fans, i recomend you to see the really football fans in latin america, see some videos of Argentinian fans, like Boca Juniors, Rosario Central(the #2), Newells Old boys, and the Uruguai fans, Penarol and Nacional. I recomend you the derby games and finals, where the fans go crazy.
or Naples
Libertadores craziness💪🏻
I remember a few years back they had to move a Boca v River match to Europe because of danger? Might've been a cup final if I'm not mistaken.
@@henrydauseb2844 Yes, in the second leg of the final, River Plate fans throw rocks and stones on Boca Junior's bus in the entrance of the stadium. Thoose rocks hit and injurie some players, and they moved the final to Madrid in order to Buenos Aires. The first game was 2x2 so was kind a 'One match' final, something that Libertadores addopted nowadays to the final.
I find it interesting watching American reactions to some football celebrations. You ask if they've cleared people out of the way for the fireworks, as though there are officials involved in the 'pyrotechnics'. There are no officials behind this, no risk assessments, etc. it's just fans bringing their own flares and fireworks to the game.
It always makes me sad to see American sports stadiums have to put on bands, play music on speakers and get cheerleaders to cajole supporters into doing anything. In most European countries the fans make their own entertainment and the officials just stand watching in despair hoping they don't cause too much damage.
NOW.............NOW.............NOW.................NOW................NOW...
That was me trying to guess the exact moment, when the penny would drop, during the Borussia Dortmund one 😂
Also, I didn't know you are a pyrotechnician. You should know more than anyone that 'NO PYRO, NO PARTY' 🥳🥳🥳
Haha, I have nothing against pyro - I enjoy it as long as it's done by professionals within safety limits.
@@SoGal_YT I think you are being a little tad too strict here. I mean, a bunch of drunk people and explosives, what could possibly go wrong?
@@SoGal_YT To be fair they do have distancing between the flares and fireworks and fans standing.....it's about 4 inches...:)

The Japanese song is actually a version of a song by Rod Stewart " We are sailing" which was also used as the theme song for a series of programmes about the Royal Naval Aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal.
the "Roma Roma Roma" chant is really the most amazing part here, and at that video it was when Roma beat Barcelona to get to the semifinal in 2017
I've been waiting to see your reaction to the fireworks ever since you started looking into football.
I was laughing like a maniac for a good 10 minutes of the video...
Haha ikr same
"How is that safe?" It's just not...
The fire you see comes most likely from flares that fans smuggled into the stadium. So there was no fire marshall involved in the whole thing. It is not allowed but there is nothing anyone can do once it is started. However, the football clubs get punished by the corresponding football organisation if that happens (fines or they are forced to play some games without fans)
love it! you need to see "ultras our way of life" It ain't only in Greece and Argentina.
SoGal love watching your reactions.
As a pyrotechnic you really should watch Rammstein singing Du Hast in Paris. It will amaze and shock you, it does all Americans. Well worth 5 minutes of RUclips time.
Or German new years
Also want to write that :D like you dont see Rammstein yet :D
@@BLooDyWereWoLF666 I haven't seen Rammstein live yet. I am a photo-sensitive epileptic so the lights at a live concert would trigger fits. Fortunately I can still see them at home and appreciate their work.
Also a tip: look for videos with subtitles for songs, i believe "O canto das torcidas" in RUclips has a lot of them, I reccomend Fluminense 2008 final in Maracanã or any Raja Casablanca video really
The Stadio Olimpico is the largest sports facility in Rome, Italy, seating over 70,000 spectators. It is located within the Foro Italico sports complex, north of the city. The structure is owned by the Italian National Olympic Committee and it is used primarily for association football. The Stadio Olimpico is the home stadium of the Roma and Lazio football clubs, and also hosts the Coppa Italia final. It was rebuilt for the 1990 FIFA World Cup and it hosted the tournament final.
The tune of "You'll never Walk Alone" has always traditionally been associated with Liverpool FC - though it's been adopted by others, of course. It comes from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical "Carousel" of 1956 but popularised by the Merseyside pop group Gerry & the Pacemakers during the the 1960s.
'Carousel' is from 1945, '56 was the film version
*Traditionally Manchester United
Flares on stadium-unique atmospfere.
So talking about health and safety have you seen the Flaming Tar Barrels of Ottery yet ? (hint they carry the barrel while it burns). P.s. but I hate football and still enjoyed your vid, love the freak out lol
That is perfectly safe, even for the children!!! ruclips.net/video/vP_X8kiEw4M/видео.html
Hey SoGal, you need to know that those "Pyro-Blinker-and smoke stuff" is illegal in europe as well. Always when those things happens the clubs get heavy fines (german POV). Everyone is scanned before going into stadium. So the fans break into the stadium a few days before the game to hide the pyrotechnics. 🙋🏼♂️
Ultras our way of life is a video you have to watch
18:45- Yes is very comum especially in East Europe and south America. North African fans are also very passionate. Watch the big ones in Marroco Waydad and Raja Casablanca
Having intimidating fans with your team usually helps the team as the opposition might get more scared than usual
marvellous reaction start at 15.55 and after more and more impressive! So shocking lady when you said "no!no!no!no!nooooooo!!! you cant have fireworks effects"!!!😅😂 Sure they have and they do! greating from France! 😍
I loved the fireworks too
I don't think she liked it lol
in your approach to understand european football, it becomes essential for you to understand the culture of the supporters and their overflowing passion. the Copa90 video "Why ultras are important to football" and that can be a good idea for a video 😉👌
GRANDE ROSARIO CENTRAL
That's a normal Tuesday in South America
In the PAOK, Greece segment ACDC's Hell's Bells is playing in the background while teams are entering before kick off, so flares add some flair to the experience.
Flares aren’t harmful they’re normal things people sneak into every big football event
the difference between an american fan and non-american is that the first understand sport as an entertainment and in Europe and South America as a battle.
sports entertainment indeed....that is why they tried to set up the supper league with their rich buddies pissing on all of us "poor" people who are no more then low lifes to them, how ever they seemed to have forgotten that theres quite a few generations involved and invested into our clubs.....how ever im sure they will sadly win in the end
After the liverpool story , I suggest you delve into the Manchester United story they are both equally compelling.
Not quite as compelling as the Leicester City story though (And no I'm not even a Leicester fan)
tthe "us and them" documentary is best football documentary i've seen about both team
#9 was "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, which itself was a cover of a Sutherland Brothers written song.
The Sutherland Brothers began their career in 1968 as A New Generation, having some success with the single "Smokie Blues Away" (which used a melody based on the second movement of Dvořák's New World Symphony), backed with "She's a Soldier Boy" on Spark. Subsequently with the Sutherland Brothers Band (featuring bassist Kim Ludman[4] and drummer Neil Hopwood), they won a new recording contract with Island Records and put out an album in 1972. Their first single as the Sutherland Brothers Band was under this contract, and was a minor hit, "The Pie", in January 1972. Their follow-up single was "Sailing", which had much radio play but was commercially unsuccessful (it was later covered by Rod Stewart).[3]
you can´t have fireworks in a stadium with people next to it.
every south american stadium...........say what?
The flares brings so much more to the atmosphere at the football it just does
I would recommend checking out some different videos about football fans and "ultras" this one wasn't the best example.
Your reaction was absolute gold. Pretty common thing in football.
13:00: "what's the point?" - Sums up American reaction to European soccer perfectly. -:)
Seriously: of course, you have a point. These fires are crazy. (But unfortunately quite common in soccer stadiums).
5:30 You said you were going to watch a video about Liverpool and/or the History of the song "You'll Never Walk Alone". It's nearly a year ago and I can't seem to find that video on your channel.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 So love watching your reactions mentioning pom poms US College sport is so sanitised & controlled
hi i'm from rosario.. argentina and a rosario central's fan.. proud to be the number 1 there :) to give you some context that's the welcome to the team in the day of the derby of the city.. rosario central vs newell's old boys (club where messi started to play).. the rivalry here is something that a lot of people can't understand.. the air gets thicker and thicker since one week before the game..
and to answer your question.. yes the fireworks and flares are dangerous.. they make some space between the fireworks and the people but not enough at all.. in argentina we already had a big tragedy due to flares inside a night club but it's part of our culture i guess.. even yet i guess the use of flares and fireworks is decreasing
You should watch: Ultras our way of life
The Liverpool song, "You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers & Hammerstein Broadway musical, Carousel. Liverpool fans have been singing this one for decades and its a spine-tingling experience to hear 50,000 voices singing it at Anfield (Liverpool's stadium). In the 1960s, Liverpool fans also used to sing all the hit songs by The Beatles and other bands of the Mersey Beat. Supporters of Glasgow Celtic and Borussia Dortmund also sing "You'll Never Walk Alone", ironically to the same Gerry Marsden soundtrack.
By the way, that fire festival you talk about in the video may be the Burning of the Clavie in Burghead, a small town near Elgin in the northeast of Scotland. The Clavie is a burning barrel of tar which is carried shoulder-high through the streets of Burghead by a selected man called the King of the Clavie. Only a native of Burghead can be the King. It's a Scottish New Year celebration unique to Burghead which dates back to Pagan times before the Julian calendar was reformed. It actually takes place on the 11th January to coincide with the old Scottish New Year. There are other similar Pagan New Year celebrations which occur in some Scottish country towns where selected members of the town parade through the streets ahead of the procession, swinging flaming bales of sticks and straw called a flambeau around their head. Judging by your reaction to the flares at the football grounds, it would probably freak you out, but it is relatively safe. Their purpose is to ward off evil spirits and to prepare for a fruitful year ahead.
Liverpool, said to be the ones who started the singing culture among football fans. I don't know if that's true, but here is a video from 1964, where Panorama (BBC) visited Liverpool to take a look at their singing crowds: ruclips.net/video/oHdSaPt8RyA/видео.html
The 1959 FA Cup final was the first time a song from popular culture was (knowingly) sung at a football match. Forest fans singing the theme tune of The Adventures of Robin Hood (Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen, etc)
"You'll never walk alone" definitely started with Liverpool but nowadays a lot of other clubs have it as a song before the match as well. I'm from Germany and here at least 2 or 3 clubs in the Bundesliga (first Division) sing it. I think it's just a great song that has an even greater message especially within Football. So I guess the german clubs didn't really steal it but embraced it just like Liverpool to present this message that noone in the stadium has to ever walk alone. This bonding really works well with Football I think and I'm glad multiple clubs use it

Just a tip: football os not restricted to Europe or Asia, specifically Japan. Check some videos about South American fans in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia... Flares, confetti, banners are common and essential part of our culture.

That were some very tame vids. Check out some of these clubs in the game, it is insane

@@frarfclin7736 No that's how your comment came across, unintentionally maybe but people are going to interpret it that way
As someone else has said "You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel" but in Liverpool local band "Gerry and the Pacemakers" released a version in 1963 and it went to No.1 in the UK. They were actually the first UK band to have three consecutive No.1 hits with their three first singles and held that record for many decades. This track was the third of those hits. As a consequence back in 1963 Liverpool fans adopted the song and Gerry has sung the song at Anfield a number of times too. Other clubs also adopted the song like Borussia Dortmund in Germany and also Celtic in Scotland. Celtic is pronounced "Seltic".
I know you are 100% right about the fire effects but your face was classic when we got to this bit. We forgot all about the songs when the sparks started to fly. Just to clarify I think what you saw in those last two games was firstly flares, which is why the effect was static and also smoke bombs are used as well which might give the impression that things are on fire. Red smoke bombs. In Argentina however, they do appear to be using fireworks too. The flares are banned in the UK but it still does happen sometimes but it is against the law. I think you see more of this in Eastern Europe and the Baltics but it does happen in the Italian, German and English leagues sometimes.
It is not only banned in the UK but everywhere. I think flares are great and part of football culture

You were not annoying. I found it quite funny and entertaining watching you freak out over the use of flares and fireworks. 😂
The fans from the big club's in Istanbul are definitely amazing when it comes to the atmosphere it's so loud and intense, especially with there Derby's and rivalries.
The fans from the English Premier League with all the rich owners behind them becoming quite boring, the fans of Liverpool FC for example singing their song at the beginning and that's it, in Champions League if they can the foreign fans from the continent do all the stuff for atmosphere, but the tickets are quite expensive for these games in England.
The most stadiums in Italy or Spain are almost empty because of the fan unfriendly strange kick-off times.
Come to Eintracht Frankfurt, Dynamo Dresden, St.Pauli, Union Berlin or VfB Stuttgart from Germany, before the virus the Stadiums Germany are always full and the German Bundesliga is almost the only that can offer that with a good, not so hateful atmosphere, of course exceptions are always possible.
East Europe, Balkans and Greece are massive, but it can be dangerous from time to time, because of some very old rivalries, it's a kind of religion for them.
I always find American reactions to pyroshows funny 🤣
meanwhile here in Europe, North Africa, South America it's just a normal game atmosphere 🤣
