AMERICANS REACT To American Vs English football chant 

It's funny that America has total freedom of speech yet you'd quickly be removed from a stadium if you sang like the British do.

The difference between the US and UK fans chants can be summed up like this... USA - Defence clap clap clap... Defence clap clap clap... UK - Right lads, I've just composed a song making reference to the opposition centre forwards recent drink driving conviction and current lack of for... I've set it to the tune Clair de Lune. I'll count us off...

Football chanting in the UK is more brutal than any rap battle you'll ever see

To make it simple, Americans sing to cheerlead. Brits sing to intimidate, it’s more of a tribal mentality

A few years ago the new public library in Birmingham was lit up in the colours of Aston Villa one of the 2 football teams in the City...... The supporters of Birmingham City didn't like it one bit and complained to local officials, councillors etc saying as their club was named after the City then the library should be in their colours. Aston Villa fans responded with this chant during a game... "THE LIBRARY IS OURS THE LIBRARY IS OOOOOOURS FUCK OFF CITY YOU CAN'T EVEN READ"

best football chant ever: Scotland vs Italy the tartan army start chanting "We're gonna deep fry Your Pizza!"

My favourite is the typically British, "We lose every week! We lose every week! You're nothing special! We lose every week!"

Bit of context: the Park chant was for Park Ji-sung who was a South Korean player for Manchester United, he was interviewed about what he thought about the Man Utd fans chanting that at him, he said he thought it was hilarious

I'm British and my husband's family is Texan. I went to Texas for the first time in my life and visited them, and was invited to my brother-in-law's American football game. It was very difficult to not be shouting English-like chants as I was told the parents and the ref would not take very well to that 😅

The American guy wanting the crowd to repeat what he was saying looked like he was on the verge of going mental 💀

Taking your kids to their first football is a risky situation but it is a garuntee that they are gonna learn that day 😂😂

I forgot where I heard it from, but what I heard was - If a British team started singing "I believe that we will win", the opposite will sing "I believe you're talking shit" in response.

The Barbecue song is a rip off of the english football song Vindaloo by Fat Les , well worth a listen

7:17 I remember watching that game, Park was playing for Manchester United and the United fans were the onse singing it 😂 Back then there was a massive rivalry against Liverpool (Scousers) hence the slur against them. British football chants are Brutal 👌 Side Note, Park Ji Sung was a freaking GOAT back in the day when he was with united and Eindhoven 😍

Moved to the UK for this reason hahahaha! Watching football here is unlike anything else i have ever experienced. Love it!

Lmao these make me so proud to be English 😆

Passion in sports is a British norm.. My team just made the play off finals to be one step away from reaching the premier league. At the end of the match to celebrate they sang an individual chant for each player.. This is typical for the UK. In the US it's just generic cringe

When Rangers goalkeeper Andy Goram was revealed to be mildly schizophrenic, Celtic fans chanted this to the tune of ‘Guantanamera’: “Two Andy Gorams / There’s only two Andy Gorams”

The best chant from both sides is "Turn this shit off and put the game on!".

The 'Adams Family Chant' I believe was directed at 'Kidderminster Football Club' who family oriented fans call themselves 'the kiddy family' The 'Harry Potter' chant was because the fans thought one of their players looked like Voldermort. There is a story behind many if not all football chants here in the UK. Also it is humor (even if dark) and fans take it as well as dish it out, it's part of the passion and atmosphere on match day.

In the uk, if a player on the opposing team has had some sort of scandal like been caught cheating or somthing there will be a chant made about it

To be fair I think the barbecue one is at least quite witty. It's an American spin on our old England football song "Vindaloo" but, if you don't know the England song, it does seem very random to hear them singing about BBQ

Oh heck the adams family one had me laughing to tears 😂

Kevin Nolan used to dance the chicken when he scored

If your from the UK you know that John Terry one was mild considering 😂💯

If you guys in the States think football is boring, just look at what my team, Sheffield Wednesday have just done this last week. Then tell me it's boring. An unbelievable story.

You can't fake passion, it's not a numbers thing America gets huge sporting events with huge crowds but still only uses simple chants, but it never sees anything on the same passion levels as much of the world not just the UK has, not sure if it's to corporate controlled and upsetting the sponsors is the last thing America wants, is it true that The Super Bowl is all about the advertisements and so much time is put aside just for Ad space. it'll be interesting to see if anyone has answered this difference between our sporting events

American's "we're the freest country on the planet, we can say almost anything we like" Also American's (if they stole our chants correctly) security comes along and drags you out of the stadium, the police come and drag your ass off to jail. English fans singing these chants, not one single eyebrow raised by the security, stewards or police at the grounds. Now, the reason for the 2 completely opposing events happening, American's believe that ANYTHING said to them is a personal attack and the "offender(s) MUST be punished, meanwhile in England, even if the song is a VERY personal one to you or your family, we have the common sense to know that it's all said in jest, winding up the opposition and their fans, taking the piss out of them, but no0one takes it seriously. There are one or two occasions when it is taken seriously, not just by the fans, but by the clubs involved and the police, is when the mindless minority of people, I won't call them fans as they clearly aren't fans, they're mindless morons who try to take the piss out of the devastating events of Munich (for Manchester United) and Hillsborough (for Liverpool) and as huge a rivalry as there is between those 2 clubs, genuine supporters of both come together on the anniversaries of those tragedies/ Apart from those, and one or two other less well known events, almost anything goes with our fans and their chants

The beginning is just cringe 😂

Football fans in the UK are savage, they'll go after the ref, the other team, their team and then the TV crew. (There was a game recently where you could hear the crowd on live TV chanting at one ex-player present inh the game to f*ck off and all the people presenting with him were buckling with laughter) There's some great ones if you look for the most brutal/savage fan chants I think you'd be in pieces at

The Seattle one was piss poor 😂 I love the kiddy family one. Made me laugh so hard. They manage to do it in unison every time & it never disappoints. USA free speech 😂

Hi guys really enjoyed this video I'm from England and I regularly go to watch my football team and it is always like that here It's interesting to see how different the us fans are compared to the uk 🇬🇧 thanks for posting guys take care Al 😀

English football chants are often tongue in cheek and hilarious. Sometimes off the cuff. Bear in mind fuelled by hours of drinking before kick off haha. There are some that are pretty bad but overall we boss the chants for humour and taking the piss out of our own team and the other team and the away fans etc

Ironic how America calls itself "the land of the free" but they can't take a joke. Us Brits can say anything and most people will take it as a joke and laugh at it

7:00 That chant is a tribute and a take on Liverpool as the people living in the Merseyside are called scousers. Park is Korean that played for my team in England, Manchester United and in Korea they eat dogs, but it could be worse because he could be a scouser eating rats in the English version of the American housing projects.

Great stuff lads! We are bloody brilliant at chanting ha-ha!

Trust me lads. This isn't even the worst. Look at england funniest chants.

You guys are the best reaction channel on RU-vid 🤣🤣🤣 keep it up, funnier than some of the chants

Man or a woman is to Andy Carroll that had long hair and used to play with a pony tail.

For any non UK fans check out the Adam Johnson chant 😂😂 guarantee you will be laughing 😂😂

You would come to love football if you came and watched it in person in England

"You can't say that" We'll say what we fuggin want thank you very much

You don’t all throw a C word, or F word in with your football chants? That’s a bit sad! You need some English over there to teach you some appropriate football chants. If you’re not insulting the other sides mothers…….you’re not doing it right 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Most of those were tame... British footie fans can be brutal

React to the English National team chants. That'll blow you away.

Hi guys some of the football chants you hear from the UK are very much outstanding and very funny.

The Adams Family remix is wild 😂😂😂😂😂😂

They loved it even without understanding thr context

World Cup 2026 should be interesting in US/Canada/Mexico

that "fight and win" Geezer wouldnt last half a second in the Uk if he started that nonsense....... and while on that topic, any guesses where that microphone would go?????

The Brits chant spontaneously no matter where you are in a football crowd whereas the Americans really are more isolated.

The guy at 1:59 gives me 1st year Neville Longbottom Vibes 😂😂

Omg guys! Being a British woman ive heard som of these chants and its kind of a tradition. We are brilliant at insulting people😂 Your people let their down!!😂

You can see the thousands of years of war cries in our genes shining through here

BVB ,UK and another Europe Football is phantastic

Kinda feel sorry for a couple of those American fans. You can tell they watch a lot of football with some of the chants being tributes but they're stuck in a strange place where people don't really get it

Fight and win guy is brilliant. He'd be escorted from a British game by other fans because he's obviously not well.

When I started going to football in the mid eighties it was far more brutal than it is now,on the terraces packed together you saw the same faces every other week and songs were made up off the cuff,if an opposing player had been in the papers they got annihilated and often the crowd really got under their skin I saw David Beckham have a nightmare because of the stick the crowd were giving his wife.Great fun back in the day.😂

This is Atlanta is a fan group that read the list of ingredients but forgot the method 😂

Jack Wilshire, the Arsenal player at the end there, was fined £40,000 for calling his team's North London rivals Tottenham "shit"... It ain't all free speech here.

Classic British terrace culture. Some of these are fairly tame to be fair. Ripping the piss out of the opposition at any and all opportunity is a Saturday afternoon treat.

Alright lads...UK footie games are sooo family friendly aren't they?😂

Can’t beat a quality English match day experience 🤣

What's really funny is the last clip is the actual Arsenal team asking those questions. Absolute class from Wilshere

Sorry fellas,the American ones are embarrassingly cringey.

as a German i am proud of these 10 Atlanta fans^^. Looks stupid, but you stand behind your club and try to create good mood. 200 men more and it sounds awesome

In the UK anything other the some extreme hard racism is a go. U could go to a game just to listen to the fans over the game itself sometimes. Anything goes and if your team sucks in a game u can bet the fans will make a chant humiliating there own team and players for it.

😆 you guys should watched the culture clash reaction channel. the brit husband gave great context to these brits chants.. and with the explanation, made these chants even funnier, and honestly totally brutal 🤣😅🤣🤣

here in scotland, we love to take the piss out of american chants (at least all us rugby players do). i have a voice recording of someone in the middle of the hallways on the way to class screaming the "fight and win" chant over and over again💀

What's cool is a lot of the chants use tunes we all know. (There's a number of Welsh ones that are perfect for it). If you have the balls,you shout the words of your chant out to the tune. about 2 seconds later (if the fans like it) the whole side of a stadium is singing your lyrics😂👍

loved your reaction brothers would love more your awesome!

"I believe that we will will win" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What cracks me up on the last vid, it was the Arsenal players starting the chant. 😄😄

We are not as polite as we would have you think!

Fans pay through the nose so we have the right to sing what we want🤣😝. If they banned us, they'd lose money.

And those same Poms call us Aussie's feral convicts!?!? 😂

"I aint never seen an elephant get a bath" Fk me sideways you 2 are hilarious 😂😂😂

My favourite spurs song is the arsene wenger one (packet of sweets, cheeky smile) or the Sol Campbell one 😂

Americans don't chant they cheer and people lead those "cheers". British football chants are part war cry and the crowd spontaneously decides what to chant.

Robin Van Persie and Di Canio chants were the best ones

Can I just say you are never winning a argument with us english, we just leave you baffled with our insults, go and ask any American who played MW2 aged 25to 30 they will tell you what went down 😂

that last totenham one killed me,

You'd get kicked out?? That's insane... should make the next world cup very interesting lol

You should go to a british football match the atmosphere is amazing

your youtubes are soooooo underrated

Imagine you’re laying on a stretcher, you’re a gone for months, perhaps the rest of the season, perhaps you’ve an injury that you’re gonna be there to some extent forever… and then they all chant in unison like that… it’s so unreasonable 😂😂😂 But on the other hand, you have to admire the ingenuity, and the fact that they can just come up with something on the spot, and everyone is just on board.

Just remember that they can sing what they want because there`s no way 20,000 people would get arrested . But just don`t stumble home through the streets drunk and sing these.

Love the reactions haha. Its all fun banter between fans here in the UK. On the odd chance you're ever in the UK, id happily take you to a game all on me. Great vid 😂👌🏻

Football in the uk it not a sport it a way of life there is a famous saying made by bill shankley "Football is a matter of life and death it more important than that" most fans have been supporting their favourite teams since they are born because their parents make the loyalty to their teams go in their blood there have been times where groups of mens are in the pub and all they r doing is watchin footy and talking about footy for hours and hours they will literally talk bout nothing else apart from whose round of drinks is next

You’ve got some catching up to do Stateside 😂

The buzz in a English stadium on match day is something magic...every team has there own songs and chants..Middlesbrough fc 👍

Same thing with a lot of American rock music (not all) - it's pretty soft. Our chants/humour make me proud to be English (we are idiots in other ways, of course) .

It shows that US fans are more optimistic and cheer for their teams to do well. While British fans are more interested in making the opposing side feel awful enough to lose.

This is so funny. thanks for sharing.

The “this is Atlanta “ is on the verge of over taking “fight and win” for being the most shit 😂

I do have to say being British myself we are a rowdy bunch for sure and the chants are on point the atmosphere of a British football game i dont think your find anywhere else in sports around the world

1:52 he looks like a wannabe John Lennon as a United Airlines flight attendant

American chants will forever be a meme to the rest of the world hahahahahaha

You lot are too … nice about it😂😂😂 The chants here r freaking hilarious as you saw. For me it’s the last one💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️ NORTTTTTH LONDON FOREVER, WHATEVER THE WEATHER, THE STREETS ARE OUR OWN!!

American ones were literally the npc cheerleaders
