American vs. European Football Fans | Who does it better? 

Well, this was a weird selection of samples. I'm not even that much into football (which makes me basically an Unicorn here in Italy) but I can assure people that there have been FAR more spectacular examples of of fans chanting/choreographies over the years.

It’s dumb to compare countries where the sport is growing VS ones where it has been established for over a century

The first Club of the Europe Part was BVB (Borussia Dortmund)...not intirely sure if the City was in fact Dortmund or if it was on a way Match. Definitly a City in Germany though

Ni cuenta que hablas el español tan suave. Now I'm curious. What other languages can you speak fluently?

This is nothing comparing to Serbia, Red star and Partizan fans, it is hell there.

Yeah, you’ll find the most English football songs are just real songs that have been modified slightly

I believe that we will win, is that first chanting. There is a better selection for US fans, showing some real enthusiasm 🎉, still not quite the same level as Europe, which is understandable 😅

The guy at Seattle yelling "Fight and win" made me slightly uncomfortable.

Not even a question, for one thing American "Football" isn't predominantly played with the feet lmao European Football in the 40's - late 90's was beautiful, it was still great in the early 00's but is nothing but a husk of it's former self these days. NFL has always been sleep-inducing, Rugby by Health & Safety committee if you will.

6:26 Yes madam. It is Aris (Greece)

Celtic FC, numerous games all over with a season ticket and good contacts.

The first european ones were all german clubs. IMO the best fans are from germany and italy

The European cities/countries were Dortmund, Cologne, Frankfurt,Northern Ireland, Milan, France, Iceland, Thessaloniki, Frankfurt again, Amsterdam, Malmo, Paris, Romania

2:33 It's BVB Borussia Dortmund fans from Dortmund, Germany. The city's population is around 580,000 people. The home stadium of BVB, Signal Iduna Park, has a capacity of about 82,000 people. It's the SECOND BIGGEST club stadium in all Europe. (The first is Barcelona's Camp Nou, 99,000) And it's completely sold out like every week and jam-packed with their fans. Dortmund's population-to-fans ration is insane!

You're right that the difference in passion most likely has to do with the history of the clubs. And I think the fact that clubs aren't franchises that buy into leagues, but rather clubs that are deeply rooted in their respective cities that have earned their place in the league(s) they're in, plays a big part too.

in Europe and South America your football club is in your blood, Its passed from father to son, I support, and go to the same ground that my great great grandfather went to in the 1880's

I was at the North London derby last year, Arsenal vs. Tottenham. The atmosphere was so intense for two straight hours.

Theres a video of the rudest football chants from the UK, worth the watch

In Europe there are generations of fans . . . Their fathers supported & team , there fathers before them . . . Etc etc . . . its the same in South America 😊

I did not see any British fans. It must be a PG rated video so they cannot show them!

Been at 2 European football games and it's a freaking blast. The crowd bringing so much of the entertainment its unreal, sadly one of those game ended in a dramatic fight which pre-emptively shut down the game but still... the energy and passion these games brings just spreads like a disease and you'll be asking those next to you what the lyrics are.

5:30 Top 10 1) Camp Nou - Barcelona - Spain - 99,354 2) Wembley Stadium - London - England - 90,000 3) Signal Iduna Park - Dortmund - Germany - 81,359 4) Estadio Santiago Bernabeu - Madrid - Spain - 81,044 5) Luzhniki Stadium - Moscow - Russia - 81,006 6) San Siro - Milan - Italy - 80,018 7) Stade de France - Paris - France - 80,000 8) Ataturk Olimpiyat Stadium - Istanbul - Turkey - 76,092 9) Old Trafford - Manchester - England - 75,811 10) Allianz Arena - Munich - Germany - 75,000

Fun fact : 3:50 these fans made engineers have to build stadiums in a new way to count for the resonance created by the jumping fans :D

I remember a British football. Commentator was asked about football. it's just a game , it's not life and death. . He responded, "No football is not life and and death , its more important than that. 😆

"WORLD'S BEST ULTRAS CHANTS With Lyrics & Translation" is a great one, a mixture of powerful chants from around the world, with lyrics. Thanks for the reaction

There are some great vids on U.K crowd chants you might have fun with on YT, deffo NSFW but I'm not into footie so anyone reading this from the U.K who can point Miss Protocol in the right direction ..... 👍😉

The biggest football stadium in Europe is Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain, with the capacity to hold 99k spectators. Edit: I wrote the comment before I got to you mentioning that you saw Barca play. 😅 So if you saw that game in Barcelona, then you have been to the biggest stadium in european football.

BVB is the second most famous club in Germany, its based in Dortmund one of West Germany’s popular cities

I hope someone does a comparison with African football. Africa's chants are a party

I’ve seen this video being reacted to lots of times and that Seattle bloke with the microphone still creeps me out

The expression on her face when Dortmund came on😂

wait till you hear England fans and their chants 😂

Germans marching down the street “They are preparing for war” 👀

Complete shot in the dark but you were correct, it is Greece. Aris is a team based in Thessaloniki

Northern Ireland our wee country do it best 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I'm a Benfica fan (portuguese team from Lisbon) and I've seen 3 games of them so far in my life. 2 games in Lisbon, and 1 in Coimbra, my local city.

Yes, the national anthem part can be fun - especially if the wrong anthem is played. Like it happened when the Kasachstan national team was surprised with the fictious Kasachstan anthem from a "Borat" movie, with rather creative lyrics.

"meanwhile in europe... they are preapering for war" i mean you are not wrong xD

Hi, I have been to most UK grounds supporting Chelsea and in the 80's & 90's went regularly to support the German team FC St Pauli. Today I follow my local West London club, Hayes and Yeading United FC, with average 200 attendance! The wildest crowds I have seen were in Argentina, both 2011 Boca Juniors v River Plate, then the River Plate v Belgrano de Córdoba which together were the most exciting, oppressive, explosive and dangerous matches I have yet attended. and ended with the relegation of River Plate.

In the 80s, I went to a game in London at Crystal Palace vs. Brighton. Also, I have also been to a MLS match at St. Louis, the new expansion team. They have the loudest stadium in the MLS.

THIS is what RU-vid should be about. My favourite and most intelligent reactor viewing the World's most popular sport by a Country Mile. :) I have attended 1,770 matches(mostly in London) and my first game was on 3rd September 1962 so 61 years ago now and I have seen endless thousands more and I still go though now I live in The Outer London Suburbs, not so much as I used to when between 1962-1993,I missed 6 Home games in 30 years until we moved just 1/2 mile to an All Seater Stadium which does sanitize the old extremely passionate English atmosphere. ULTRAS GREATEST CHANTS VOLUMES 1,2,3 AND 4 or World's Greatest(including the amazing South Americans) ENJOY..

The European fans sorta remind me of being in a thrash metal mosh pit.

This was fun but I think you'll really get a good laugh at: BEST FOOTBALL CHANTS w/ lyrics. It's a bunch UK soccer fans and it's honestly next level

Dortmund. The stadium is insane. Te faltaron los estadios de Argentina. Biggest stadium in Europe is Camp Nou in Barcelona.

I have been to some football games in my country off Bulgaria. Here in the Balkan part of Europe if there is a big derby things might get willd and a bit dangerous, but that i becouse of the ultras of the team. Such derby in Bulgaria is between CSKA Sofia and Levski or between Botev Plovdiv and Lokomotiv Plovdiv. The most dangerous derby in Europe is held in the neogboring Serbia which is between Partizan and Red Star.

We had Beastquake when Marshawn made Seattle fan's jumping cause a seismic register. Two thoughts... a cursory glance shows the same "micro earthquake" phenom has been recorded for futball matches.. and props to the architects and engineers who have to design a stadium to be pounded like that so relentlessly.

Hi there. There's a comparison vid of NBA fans v Euro basketball fans. The Europeans are absolutely mental in that one.

5:05 If you want I can tell you what they say: It is the Milan team fans which are in Italy and I'm Italian. They sing: What confusion, will be because I love you, Tight me strong, and stay closer to me, if you love me, it is because I love you,. Then the final part I cannot translate because they say bad words against the enemy team and fans 😂😂😂

Need to watch newcastle United fan 🖤⚪🖤⚪ The toon army 🖤 ⚪ Best fans in England by far

European sporting clubs like pubs and private members clubs were attached to factories and businesses which the workers and their families were the members and could access. Which is why the passion and unity because these clubs grew from local communities.

I remember going to Chelsea away and it was 2-2 and we all went “this is a library, this is a library, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

Lame… not you Angel but the whole crazy fan situation. To invest that much emotion into a football team as if what they do carries any real significance in your life.

You Never Walk Alone at Liverpool is the best thing change my mind

Liverpool fan singing One Kiss by Dua Lipa should be here😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂 e meglio che pensate all' NFL, il calcio e per noi europei ❤️🖤🇮🇹

I remember when New York City FC started and for their first game, the put out a little book of suggested chants for the fans. Hilarious.

I thought you lived in the US?

in Europe many clubs, especially smaller ones they kind of represent a part of the population or all city depending how many teams are in that city (example in glasgow is usually irish catholic descendant that supports celtic against protestant british part that supports rangers). In many cases rivalries between clubs are way older than footbal itself and are related to some issues that might have happaned hundreds years ago. Supporting a Club could be a kind of way to show where you from and what you or you ancestors believe in. That goes with all the sports in general, many basket teams are just a side of a club that has a football team too and supporters are often the same for both sports. I suggest you to check videos of eastern european atmosphere in basketball matches

6:15 I can confirm its Greece you are correct well done, did the sigma (Σ) give it away?

I has visited the the HSV (H=Hamburg) a lot during school and university. Later when the childs were born I was lucky if I go 1 or 2 times a year. Now ist getting more hopefully because my son started to join me 🙂 I visited several other stadions. Once in Pasadena. The atmosphere ist totally different. Some hispanic fans were like european fans. But my impressionn was more like a visit in a cinema or show, just watching and some applause.

It's Dortmund, Germany.

It is called football. Soccer/Sucker is a US way of describing the worlds most popular sport

Usa football chants are an embarrassment to the sport

In the US, this type of organized cheering, etc. is done elaborately in college sports. Unfortunately in EU, college sports are minimally supported if at all.

Wait you don't live in the US?

This video will start at 2:12

Danger only makes things more fun ;D

These are all pretty tame on the European side to be honest. British fans sometimes are just batshit crazy. Also sad not to see some good old "Oranje Leeuwen" (Orange Lions) since i'm Dutch, the sea of orange is something else

By the way, if you ever feel like saying "American Football" is too wordy, the official name is actually "Gridiron."

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." Bill Shankley and he was right I come from Northern Ireland and miss the famous "will Grigg's on fire your defence is terrified"

The main difference is, imho, that European Fan clubs not only chant to raise the mood and to support their team but it actually is like a turf war between the two team-fanbases and their weapons are the chants. The examples shown her are merely touching the whole story behind it and if you know the languages and understand just a little, most of the chants are "only" motivational and kinda representational, as in "look at that team, they're great and that's what we're singing" but when you go deeper into the whole topic, many if not most chants are directed to either the other team or the other fanbase and aim to discourage them directly. I mean, there is some serious sh*t going down in some stadiums up to the point of veeery dirty insults which is usually the reason for fanbase-escalations in or around the stadium. As I'm sure is widely known, most fanbases are kinda moderate but what you should really watch out for are the masses of fans, dressed in black and having facemasks on (like the guy on the streetlamp), the usually so called "Ultras". They're dressed for war, came to "kill" and don't back down from a straight up fight if need be. The only thing keeping most of them in check are the Police and the repercussions for the team they're "representing" as in having to pay reparations to either the association or the other team or even being banned from stadiums if things get out of hand. Unfortunately, they are a big (if not most influencial) part of the whole fanbase-rivalry-thing and if it weren't for the moderate fans, that whole thing might be impressive to watch but hard to bear...

I think the point of the video is poking fun at Americans. The first one was “I believe, that we will win” it’s people mimicking passion. They hear people chanting songs in Europe and copy, but you can’t copy true love, in Europe, well probably every other Country in the world, football is a way of life, and the chants aren’t sang to look they believe.

Anglais Utra,..,,....

"Fart and wind!!"

0:37 sorry to correct you, but they're actually chanting "I believe that we will win". Edit: the dumbest chant ever, in my eyes. But it origins from the Naval Academy Preparatory School.

Can’t say they compare us soccer to European soccer, they been at that longer and more support. Say closer comparison is college football crowds when it comes to celebrations.

Try England😇

Such a beauty

I've been to two professional football games, both many yaers ago, way, waaaaaay before you were born (early 1970s). First was Brighton and Hove Albion against Crystal Palace, the second was a match with (I think) Red Star Belgrade being the visitors (the only thing i remember is the game was delayed whilst the Red Star Belgrade goalkeeper was sent back to change his shirt as he was wearing a colour (yellow, I think) that was not allowed in a non-international (country-level) level game).

You should also watch the comparison between European Basketball fans & US fans . European fans are just 🤪

BVB is the Soccer team of Dortmund Germany. I’m from Frankfurt Germany. 🇩🇪 soccer fans are 🤪 🍺

Germany 😍

Smaller teams with smaller stadiums also have amazing fans. Malmö FF of Sweden is one of those smaller clubs that often win on the fans chanting side of things vs plastic clubs like chelsea for instance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U0_Ew3NLywI.html This is an away game in Europe and the MFF fans were much louder than the home "fans".

Europe part: Borussia Dortmund (Germany) fans marching to the game. FC Köln (Germany). Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany). Northern Ireland national team, Euro Cup 2016. AC Milan (Italy). France national team, The French national anthem, Euro Cup 2016. Iceland national team, fans doing "the volcano", Euro Cup 2016. Aris Thessaloniki FC (Greece). Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany). Ajax Amsterdam (Netherlands), fans outside the stadium. Malmö FF (Sweden). Paris Saint Germain (France). Romania national team, Romanian national anthem, Euro Cup 201

i live right next to a Liga 2 Bundesliga team in germany and the atmosphere is great! also at 0:22 i hate this “i believe that we will win” chant so much. it’s cringe. other high school teams used that against us…… all of them ended up losing to us lmao also to put crowds into perspective frankfurt almost always sell out all their tickets.

1st BVB is Borussia Dortmund (Dortmund, Germany) 2nd FC Köln (Köln, Germany) 3rd is Eintracht Frankfurt (Frankfurt, Germany) 4rd is National Team Ireland (With their mash up 'Will Griggs on Fire" 5th AC Milan (Milan, Italy) 6th France national team (The Marseillaise - National Anthem) 7th Iceland National Team, Their Viking Chant (it's freaking impressive in real) 8th Aris FC(Thessaloniki, Greece) 9th Eintracht Frankfurt (actually same song as 3, again Frankfurt Germany) 10th Ajax (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) 11th Malmö FF (Malmö, Sweden) 12th PSG, (Paris, France) 13th Romanian national team, (Romania, National Anthem) Since you said National anthem of Romania is most impressive, try Wales vs Ireland

Hi. It seems you like your sports. maybe you should check out AFL. Australian Rules Football. It has been played for over 150 years and was the first codified form of football. Its played on an oval ground over twice the length and 3-4 times the width of an NFL field. The players average 6'2'' and run an average of 10-12 miles per game. They are fit, conditioned and strong. No padding, just a mouth guard. Some of the best punters in the NFL are ex AFL players. If you want skill look at something like 'The best 50 AFL marks (catches of the ball). If you want to see how physical it is check out something like 'Biggest hits and bumps in the AFL of all time. Kicking skills...'top 50 goals (scoring) in the AFL' A Texan basketball ball player Mason Cox (6'10'') came over to try out and has been playing for over 6 years at the top level. Pat McFee (who is now a lover of AFL and retired NFL player)does a good interview with him. Last but not least there is you tube videos introducing you to 'What is AFL which can be instructive.

You saw the other video about losses in World War II, ending with the postwar period of "peace". European Nations haven't been fighting each other ever since. Well, my theory: that's because of the European Union. and because of football. We transferred conflict to the sports field ;) Nationalism might rise up there sometimes, among Hooligans and others. Patriotism is strong, even if not elsewhere. But better here than at war, right?

Barcelona have biggest stadium in Europe and you are cute.. much love from Croatia, watch some video from Hajduk Split fans Torcida that is my club.

USA - hey kids, we're going to see a football game, have a few hot dogs, maybe meet some friends and have a good time EUROPE - TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL !!!

Milan fans were saying: What a mess, Maybe it's because we root for (our team), It's an emotion that grows up little by little, Hug me tight and stay closer to me, And the one who doesn't jump (f@ck) is a pig of juventus, La la la la laaa...

The first European club you've seen is Borussia Dortmund. You can't compare European football with American (Soccer) So much tradition, so much history, so much emotion.

Turf Moor,bloomfield Rd ,anfield,brittiania stadium Stoke,Ewood Park,

The first European video shows fans of Borussia Dortmund (BVB) - a German football club. But it is not in Germany. The police car looks Belgian. I assume it was the pre match walk to the stadium when they played against Club Brugge in Champions League in 2020. So they are not even at home when going crazy like that.

I've seen this video before, and I still find it confusing as to why they are comparing European football fans with American soccer fans. Of course, the European support is going to win that contest. A fair contest would be European football fans vs. American football (NFL) fans. Personally, I think the Europeans would still win, but that would be a real debate. We wouldn't compare basketball fans in Europe vs American fans at an NBA game.

I may get in trouble for this, but here's a video that may interest. It's called "US Women's Soccer Team LOSE 24 - 1 to Mens Team to Prove a Point." The channel is Nate the Lawyer, and the video has 1.9 million views.

The Greeks get nutty with it. Not just with football either. They go crazy for basketball too. Check out clubs like Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.

Spanish here, went to France for that Eurocup, and spend my time with Irish people... (I was by myself). They are the f best people ever... and 4:03 minute always give me chills.
