Yes, in Europe (and South America and in the rest of world) football is strong passion. It is a kind of tribal war simulation. And the national flags are used only during an international match, country vs country.
@@tonyslabu6373 Only in the international matches (national team vs other national team). During the standard national championship only flags with the colours of the two clubs.
Greetings from 🇩🇪! Actually, fans can be divided into three categories: 1. Fans - People who go to the game when they have time. Sometimes with family & children. Just have some fun. 2. Ultras - Have annual tickets, are in the stadium whenever possible and also travel to distant games. They organize the choreography with flags, singing etc. They are the soul of the atmosphere! 3. Hooligans - I don't think they're real fans. They dress like this, but they usually end up trying to fight someone. They often don't care about the "victim".( police or other fans) This type of "fan" is a common occurrence at matches where clubs that have a particularly deep rivalry meet.
Most of the time you make appointments. then you meet another group with your group that seeks violence^^ I don't think you ever had anything to do with hooligans ;)

Greetings from Romania , the last video u showed at the end . We are very passionate about football , its a sport that follows us romanians everywhere . Also , we have some big names so cant forget that . Thank you for including our country in the video . Much love!❤️💛💙
nice reaction guys :) just have to add one thing: the shaking stadium in the "Eintracht Frankfurt" video is build this way because they knew crowd will go crazy, so its kind of a build-in shock absorber to manage all the jumping ppl. i mean its germany, security is a big thing, so they calculate it way more like "think as there were 3 to 5 times as many ppl". or more :D
That last clip shows the crowd singing the Romanian National Anthem at the National Arena. Club football crowds go nuts with the chants and the implication with the team, but as you might imagine, when it comes down to international matches all bets are completely off! the Anthems are played they are sung by the crowd you have flags messages shown... the whole nine yards... Especially for the home team as they will usually and naturally have the most numerous crowd in the stadium... It even goes up a notch if there is rivalry between nations, be it sporting rivalry or national / historical rivalry.
We were in Canada (i know not the exact same but I consider the culture is similar) a couple of years back. Since hockey is canadas national sport an the local team was in a rather high league and we knew the german athmosphere from a couple of "Hamburg Freezers" games we visited we were quite excited to see what it would be like in the country that invented it (arguably). Man, we couldn't have been more dissapointed. It was a play off game, the stakes were high but the crowd was quiet, no chants, no singing, no nothing... every few minutes the announcer would yell "Make some noise" in his microphone, followed be a short burst of cheers from the crowd, then silence again. ... oh and they managed to get a "la ola wave" one and a half times round the stadium... So, yeah... no passion in north america... I think thats the difference of having "franchises" play vs a long grown Club structure where most fans are not only visitors but members...
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that. Bill Shankly (Scottish football player and manager of FC Liverpool)
You can never experience passion through the screen, never like when you are live on the stand, once you taste that energy, your life will change completely.
Bro the difference in europe is that our culture and our cities where we re from we are fanatics as kids as thsts what we grow up in Its much more than the sport In europe its more of the ideas you support and your team has to do with what you believe in and what you follow its our passion thats the difference its not just to do with the sport
We all have real fans who bring passion to the stadium and those who just flex on how they can afford things like seats all teams and sport have those kind of fans
you can see the inklings of a budding fan culture in the us, there is massive amounts of time that is required tho, some clubs in Europe has excisted sence the 1800's so we have generations and generations of history between our countries and towns where rivalires have been built up on history, I am sure you guys will get there at the end
Hi! I don't think so! In the USA, the real sports culture at this level is in college American football! You see the same determination in the fans there as you do in European football, but you don't see the same organization as we do.
In this clip there are no fans from Bulgaria,Greece,Serbia,Poland,Croatia, which is ridiculous.... One of most amazing fans are exactly in these countries, Turkey also...Check ,,Ultra - Our way of life,, 10 000 subscribers and the movie for the Ultras with 1 milion subscribers
And rest of us often dislike extreme ultra's ... they are NOT a good part of football often. Most of the time it from extreme ultra's bad things happens. So im happy they didtn show those too much.
4:50 Stadiums in Europe are actually over built to account for all jumping going on. The structure is built to allow for allow of oscillation. If it wasn't those joints wouldn't be shaking they'd already have collapsed!
Franchises don't really offer the threat of relegation to lower leagues or the promise of promotion to higher leagues. A franchise is a dead end sporting model compared to the dynamics of different leagues.

8:10 "FRAMÅT MALMÖ" "HEJA DI BLÅE" "FORWARD MALMÖ" "COME ON THE BLUES" Call and respond chant from the Most Champions of Sweden Malmö FF.

Our own home support is electrifying with megasize flags, big tifo displays and flares. We sing for 2 hours straight minus 15 minutes at half time break.
The mls Houston dynamo marches to the stadium, win or lose, the barra (fan club) is called "el batallon" , there is a large south american, central american, and mexican presence in the barra as well as usa fans
There are some really great ultras and tifo compilations that make good 'reacting to-videos'. Ultras - fanatic supporters Tifo - created by the fans, most of the time by the ultras who spend months of their sparetime to arrange these.
when whe have games coming from a ultra from the netherlands whe also have way more police around the stadion bc when ultras from the other team come there always will come a fight so in some games the ultras from the opposite team are not allowed to come also whe support our teams with our heart not with our wallet whe bring the vibe and passion also ultras are just all a big family when you support your team all the ultras are all just one big family sharing the same passion that's the difference between USA and Europe to us football is life it defines our countries differences and when your in the stadion its just the best thing that happens you have to experience it its hard to describe but to me the stadion is home !♡
Thers ALOT of Money in european football, the tv money is crazyyyyyyyy ofc the clubs is run as a business, BUT the fanculture HAS so much power , that you won't believe it ,, you gotta remember , the clubs are inbedden in the towns/ cities and has been for 80-90-100 years, the rivaries of having 2 or even 3-4 clubs in the same towns , is something you americans will never understand ,, the last tthing is in America, it's a " sports franchise" and if bought it can relocate if the owners want.... if you do that in europe, the public backlash will be of nuclear porportions
It should Flex, it is built that way to take lesser the shock so stadium can take it. It has similar style like Skycrapers bend and fundament shake to lesser the shock of earthquicks and superstorms.
I think there are few factors as to why it differs so. First one (and this I've heard from the great players themselves in interviews), that in Europe the players are there for the fans, as where in USA the fans are there for the players to be worshiped and uplifted. Then, USA really don't have any good chants. At all basically,it seems. That alone makes it fun, when the chants are good and fun. And, just looking to the human nature, people in general don't like to stand out from the group. If you are the only one acting a bit "crazy" and intense (as in Europe), rarely people like that and can handle that. But if you are like this,enthusiastic and having fun, together with so many others, who doesn't want to give that extra energy? It also makes it more fun.... Maybe I forgot or missed something now, but that are at least a few things I've seen and noticed.
You don't know what is passion for football if you never seen Argentinian fans... The British said they invented Football (actually they only made the rules, because the Aztecas and even the Greek played some kind of football in Ancient Times.. ) however, WE, the ARGENTINIANS, invented something better... the LOVE AND PASSION FOR FOOTBALL... we don't wait to be in a World Cup to defend our colours, we have the same passion every time our Club plays a game, it doesn't matter if it's a big or a little club... we shout and sing during all the match as ever...
Hi! You may not have fully realized it, but in 2 cases (France and at the very end Romania), it was the beginning of an international match. And then the emotions run a bit higher than usual. An international match is always a question of honor! If you ever want to see real soccer nutcases, then take a look at the Argentines. They are so extreme (South America is simply different there, more insane) that teams from rival clubs have to be escorted to the venue under the strongest police protection. I'm talking about a police line, shot guns in hand, protecting the opposing team's bus...
I live in uk for so many years ago , but inside me beats a Romanian heart . And that will always make me proud ! 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just a thought...check out the Welsh National anthem sung by the crowd before Wales beat England 30 - 3 (rugby, mind, not football)! Incredible moment.
In Europe we have a very "tribal" tradition, this is because perhaps we have always had many wars between countries over the centuries or even many internal wars within the countries themselves. This creates a very protective mentality in relation to our geography and culture and this also ends up spreading to sport where people always tend to defend their area or their region or their country and always with a lot of passion and a lot of determination
You don't have way back of ultras where there is full scale war. I myself have been through this, many fans were in the "Jugoslovien war. My team meets their team about losing, but football fans will agree.
MLS is brand new. In Europe there are clubs since the 19th century.... but in the end noone is better: we all together are richer with different cultures, sharing and ever evolving each on their path.
If you guys can watch Celtic playing in the Champions League tonight (ko 8pm BST) then you'll see the only fans in the world to be given the FIFA and UEFA Fair Play award. This had only previously been awarded to teams or individual players, however Celtic took 80,ooo fans to Seville in Spain for the 2003 UEFA Cup final and, despite losing, were lauded by the Spanish police not to mention the citizens of Seville, who welcomed the partying fans with open arms. Many friends were made that day. Anyway, 8pm our time. One of the best stadia in the world for atmosphere 👌
your girl is right on point ... we are an army ... we dont joke around ... its our religion and we take it serious ...its our life ... watch the ultras ...what you saw is ...just normal for us ... dayly base
I'm French and my soccer club is Paris knowing when I play football myself it's not at all like it's MUCH WORSE the matches you've watched are really very very very calm the reality in any case in my blub is not the same but come worse
Good reaction thanks, I think it would be great if American football teams could play Europe and English teams that would be educational and scary for the USA fans, take care and stay safe.
The videos we saw from europe are soft. Their are some much better athmosphere during game but Americans will be probably scared if they see them. No videos from Turkish teams or Greece or from the Marseille team wich are absolutely crazy. From the videos I saw here, I can bring my 6 years old son in the "ultra’s" zone. In Marseille I won’t, I’ll go with him in quiet section of stadium. You should check it out. Greeting’s from France
Almost every football stadion in Europe are built to withstand vibration and shake when people are jumping because of vibrations made by fans. That is actually nothing new on lots of stadions in Europe....
The difference between the MLS and the European leagues is one thing: Passion. EU = driven by passion. US = driven by money. Even on club level it is driven by money, since the clubs have to buy their way into the MLS, there's no promotion or relegation between different league levels. That's the reason for the big difference in quality of football experienced by the US and EU.
Th best EU team vs Best US team. it would be good. (im an Ajax Amsterdam fan. and Man United, Bayern München and cuz im Polish . Wisła Kraków.. but there are so many great teams every year getting better.. --- Check out .. ''Welcome to Wrexham '' its great.
It's curious that you do not have any Single image of Spain and spanish fans when is one of the most important leagues in the world with great atmosphere in stadiums. Instead of that you put images of Romania, a league that no one looks. Funny... If the images impress you these are nothing compared with atmosphere in european stadiums in de 90' years. From 1980 to 2005 was other atmosphere level. The fact in europe is that teams are not only a team of football, teams have a idiosyncracsy rooted in the region or country to which they belong and have enemies (other teams) in the same country and in other countries, a rivalry, a hate as if it were a war...
I don’t think it’s fair to compare them both. Teams like Austin fc has a fan base that cares about there team as much as some of the big names in the premier league. teams like Atlanta have no “true fans”
Dont worry, the Stadium wont break. Germany has such strick laws when it comes to this. Its all calculated, if it would be for some reason unsafe in the slightest it would be closed.
A famous Dutch National trainer of the National team once said: Voetbal is oorlog wich means when translated football means war. Rest in Peace , Mister Rinus Michels
US Footbass/soccer main problem is Footballclubs dont have home, they move where money is. And thats why they cant cultivate passion and loyality. In Europe Being fan of club is kind of inheritable, You fan clubs your father and grandfather fanned and loved since club were not bigshot. America you dont see such loyality and there is no passion following. Couse most people cant follow team new place 800 miles away. In europe there is money too in football, but it is cultivated slowly. Every foodball team has atleast one stadium. Big team have few dozen stadiums, some of them are super stadium where 80k opeople can watch football, Football clubs sell they fanstuff and even have they own trinkets and fastfood chains.
It is simple; Football is war. A tradition that is usually passed on from father to son, brother to brother. It is confrontational and passionate as your fan ship is thicker than blood in some cases. The opponent is the enemy. As you are a supporter you need to be a staunch supporter through good times and bad. Where the more fanatical are concerned they feel the urge to be creative and loud and BURN the enemy with their taunts. Meaning the more of a kick in the nuts the comment is, the better. Those that create the chants and songs find any weakness. Your goalie had a scandal shagging another team mate's wife, bam you struck gold and there will be a song the next game. Shady business performed by the trainers, owners of the clubs? That scores you another round of taunting. There are rivalries that are old and considered proper vendettas especially where certain cities are concerned or even old hatreds are concerned. The Scottish and English for example. Or the Dutch and the Germans. There is no 'sensitiveness' or political correctness where the more fanatical are concerned. As anything useful that can be used to taunt your enemy will be used. Hence why I also believe the US would never be able to outdo the Europeans on this front (even if they wanted to) as this spans multiple countries, old rivalries and quite frankly Europeans wouldn't give two fecks about political correctness when it regard their team. So in the chants you'll hear remarks about for example; race, appearance, nationality. Where you might immediately be offended instantly scream racism, they just shrug and point out that the target shouldn't have signed up with the other team then. Doesn't mean you can't take have some healthy self deprication as a balance, but like with family that is only allowed to be done by those belonging to that family. Or at least that has always been my understanding and take of it.

In Europe we have a very "tribal" tradition, this is because perhaps we have always had many wars between countries over the centuries or even many internal wars within the countries themselves. This creates a very protective mentality in relation to our geography and culture and this also ends up spreading to sport where people always tend to defend their area or their region or their country and always with a lot of passion and a lot of determination
Yes the stadium have to be flexible with al the jumping from the fans, all stadiums do that!
You don't have way back of ultras where there is full scale war. I myself have been through this, many fans were in the "Jugoslovien war. My team meets their team about losing, but football fans will agree.
MLS is brand new. In Europe there are clubs since the 19th century.... but in the end noone is better: we all together are richer with different cultures, sharing and ever evolving each on their path.
Its Entertaintment vs Passion greetings from Europe!
If you guys can watch Celtic playing in the Champions League tonight (ko 8pm BST) then you'll see the only fans in the world to be given the FIFA and UEFA Fair Play award. This had only previously been awarded to teams or individual players, however Celtic took 80,ooo fans to Seville in Spain for the 2003 UEFA Cup final and, despite losing, were lauded by the Spanish police not to mention the citizens of Seville, who welcomed the partying fans with open arms. Many friends were made that day. Anyway, 8pm our time. One of the best stadia in the world for atmosphere 👌
5:03 it's German engineering mem. So don't worry, it won't broke down easily
You should check jetlagwarrior enjoing romanian football on stadium
your girl is right on point ... we are an army ... we dont joke around ... its our religion and we take it serious ...its our life ... watch the ultras ...what you saw is ...just normal for us ... dayly base
I'm French and my soccer club is Paris knowing when I play football myself it's not at all like it's MUCH WORSE the matches you've watched are really very very very calm the reality in any case in my blub is not the same but come worse
If you guys ever find your way across the pond ill bring you to see my team 👍
Looks like a family day out in America when ma da took me to the football he said penalty to rangers
Good reaction thanks, I think it would be great if American football teams could play Europe and English teams that would be educational and scary for the USA fans, take care and stay safe.
The videos we saw from europe are soft. Their are some much better athmosphere during game but Americans will be probably scared if they see them. No videos from Turkish teams or Greece or from the Marseille team wich are absolutely crazy. From the videos I saw here, I can bring my 6 years old son in the "ultra’s" zone. In Marseille I won’t, I’ll go with him in quiet section of stadium. You should check it out.
Greeting’s from France
If u wana expirienc atmospher on futball match find video from croatia and serbian or generali from balkan leagues than ull se what chantin are xd
Romania ❤
Almost every football stadion in Europe are built to withstand vibration and shake when people are jumping because of vibrations made by fans. That is actually nothing new on lots of stadions in Europe....
OGC NICE ❤🖤FANS ARE THE BEST FANS EVER
The difference between the MLS and the European leagues is one thing: Passion.
EU = driven by passion.
US = driven by money.
Even on club level it is driven by money, since the clubs have to buy their way into the MLS, there's no promotion or relegation between different league levels. That's the reason for the big difference in quality of football experienced by the US and EU.
Football stadiums in Europe are build to give in when the fans jump. Its completely safe.
Th best EU team vs Best US team. it would be good. (im an Ajax Amsterdam fan. and Man United, Bayern München and cuz im Polish . Wisła Kraków.. but there are so many great teams every year getting better..

Check out .. ''Welcome to Wrexham '' its great.
It's curious that you do not have any Single image of Spain and spanish fans when is one of the most important leagues in the world with great atmosphere in stadiums. Instead of that you put images of Romania, a league that no one looks. Funny... If the images impress you these are nothing compared with atmosphere in european stadiums in de 90' years. From 1980 to 2005 was other atmosphere level. The fact in europe is that teams are not only a team of football, teams have a idiosyncracsy rooted in the region or country to which they belong and have enemies (other teams) in the same country and in other countries, a rivalry, a hate as if it were a war...
I don’t think it’s fair to compare them both. Teams like Austin fc has a fan base that cares about there team as much as some of the big names in the premier league. teams like Atlanta have no “true fans”
Next weekend Stockholm derby!
Watch the Barcelona against Celtic 2015 will blow your mind .
Dont worry, the Stadium wont break. Germany has such strick laws when it comes to this. Its all calculated, if it would be for some reason unsafe in the slightest it would be closed.
And all of this is when theyre in a good mood.
The last one was my country
It's only a matter of time until "O, City Ground" is in one of the compilation vids
San Lorenzo.. 🔥🔥
Ia m just gonna say its always funny they say they ahve practised, no they havent they just sing and it just comes all together
Come to Romania to see a futbol game
A famous Dutch National trainer of the National team once said: Voetbal is oorlog wich means when translated football means war. Rest in Peace , Mister Rinus Michels
teke a look at - Hamburger SV - Borussia Mönchengladbach / Pyro Krawalle on RUclips!
please react to best of ultras/pyro/choreos
Bro and SSC Napoli?
El fútbol en Estados Unidos es joven aún, es normal que no se vea tanta pasión.
US Footbass/soccer main problem is Footballclubs dont have home, they move where money is. And thats why they cant cultivate passion and loyality. In Europe Being fan of club is kind of inheritable, You fan clubs your father and grandfather fanned and loved since club were not bigshot. America you dont see such loyality and there is no passion following. Couse most people cant follow team new place 800 miles away.
In europe there is money too in football, but it is cultivated slowly. Every foodball team has atleast one stadium. Big team have few dozen stadiums, some of them are super stadium where 80k opeople can watch football, Football clubs sell they fanstuff and even have they own trinkets and fastfood chains.
Need the video volume up for ultras reactions. Feel the atmosphere.👍🏻
There have been entire military conflicts caused over football
It is simple; Football is war.
A tradition that is usually passed on from father to son, brother to brother.
It is confrontational and passionate as your fan ship is thicker than blood in some cases.
The opponent is the enemy. As you are a supporter you need to be a staunch supporter through good times and bad.
Where the more fanatical are concerned they feel the urge to be creative and loud and BURN the enemy with their taunts. Meaning the more of a kick in the nuts the comment is, the better.
Those that create the chants and songs find any weakness. Your goalie had a scandal shagging another team mate's wife, bam you struck gold and there will be a song the next game. Shady business performed by the trainers, owners of the clubs? That scores you another round of taunting.
There are rivalries that are old and considered proper vendettas especially where certain cities are concerned or even old hatreds are concerned. The Scottish and English for example. Or the Dutch and the Germans.
There is no 'sensitiveness' or political correctness where the more fanatical are concerned. As anything useful that can be used to taunt your enemy will be used. Hence why I also believe the US would never be able to outdo the Europeans on this front (even if they wanted to) as this spans multiple countries, old rivalries and quite frankly Europeans wouldn't give two fecks about political correctness when it regard their team.
So in the chants you'll hear remarks about for example; race, appearance, nationality. Where you might immediately be offended instantly scream racism, they just shrug and point out that the target shouldn't have signed up with the other team then.
Doesn't mean you can't take have some healthy self deprication as a balance, but like with family that is only allowed to be done by those belonging to that family.
Or at least that has always been my understanding and take of it.
You guys should react to Ultras or Hooligans thats some real Passion
It is made to do that when there jump.. so
