Americans REACT to Funniest England Football Chants! 

'Is there a fire drill' is a dig at the other fans heading for the exit to leave early if their team is getting beat.

Kinda weird how Americans are always confused by chants. Not a complicated concept… you scream something, ppl around you join in, it spreads. Simple

The "kiddy family" song was invented in the 1970s by Norwich fans - about Norwich fans 😁. Because Norfolk is rural and remote they got the reputation and played up to it. A similar self-mocking song was done by Ipswich to the South "I can't read and I can't write but that don't really matter. I support the Ipswich Town and I can drive a tractor".

Nobody in England gets arrested for singing football chants

The lights in the stadium went off that's why they were chanting "we will play in the dark"

U Americans are so soft and sweet god bless ya 😂

And as you noticed a lot of the Melodies in the Songs are well known, like "The Adams family" which makes it easy to change some words and everyone gets on board.

You wondered if the players know about the songs. The Coloccini chant is from my team, Newcastle United. We signed a player called Bruno Guimaraes, from Lyon (french), he's Brazilian. The chant is Bruno's fucking magic. He wears a magic hat, he could have signed for Arsenal, but he said no Fuck that. He wants to play for Eddie, in the famous black and white, and when we win the premiership we'll sing this song all night. About two weeks later, he put a black and white jester hat on his head. They love the chants, well the positive ones anyway.

Good Reaction Guys. Many songs are repeated in every game while others are created on the fly (like the "Dick Back" one ). That was the Sunderland AWAY fans who travelled the whole length of the country to support their team and their Dutch Manager had recently been Dick Advocaat, and they wanted him to return. The "Fire Drill" was sung by Spurs AWAY fans as the Home fans were leaving early as they were well beaten (hence why are u leaving? Is there a Fire Drill? _). Balotelli lost "a wallet full of cash" in a newspaper story. Manchester City beat Manchester United 6/1 AWAY from Home and claimed bragging rights to their City but then played against top European teams and played 6 matches and did not win any(hence THe Manchester United fans responding at a later date "6 games in Europe,you couldn't win one

I’m female and have gone to football since being a teen. Always join in the chants!!!

You need to come to England and watch a big football match, you’d love the atmosphere plus the games are usually exciting.

"Right, lads, I've come up with one about their right-back's drink-driving charge set to Clair de Lune. I'll count us in..."

3:14...guys in this case one lot of fans are mocking the size of the other team's stadium that's all 😉😊

The kiddy family refers to the football team in Kidderminster next to my home town.

Football is a religion in England.

The British have used football chants for at least 60 years. Those chants are either long standing or new that are topical to the opposing team club or player. Some are just made up that match, sung by one person, if its any good others join in, if its OK it gets modified until its sung. If its really good other teams fan will use it too. Players, clubs and the police just let it go, if its deemed bad taste but funny, its sung, if its bad taste and just racist abuse it gets stopped by the fans very quickly. Its all freedom of speech and curtailed if too racist or hate chants. Other than that US fans need to come up with their own chants or borrow British ones, its not gonna be called out for theft, as it would be seen as a compliment.

10:30 You have a few well known melodies, you come up with some lyrics to fit it, you start shouting it and if people like it they join in!

You have opened a Treasure Trove here. This was England but even I, as an Englishman who has been to over 1,700 games since 1962 admit that since the dreaded All Seater Stadiums Rule (ASS for short) that the REAL atmospheres are in Germany, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Greece, and many other countries as well as Brazil, Argentina, a"European Basketball Fans v European Basketball Fans" which WILL be a real eye-opener for you :)

The boxer shorts chant is because the stadium was so small. You can literally see houses to the left at the beginning

Strong Recommendations: "Ultras Greatest Chants Volumes 1-4" "Ultras-Our Way Of Life-10,000 Subscribers" and "USA Fans v English Fans" about the different levels of support:)

Awesome video you guys are absolutely awesome I liked and subscribed stay safe 💙

good reaction, but a lot of these were tame, check out the cfc blue flag video funniest chants in england. .you will hear some real english humour then

Arrested for singing?? Bloody hell, is that what America has come to? In Britain and Australia we are still free to express ourselves in fun.

When they we’re chanting my garden shed is bigger then this they were calling the stadium small.

Football is called football because of the foot! American football isn't that 🤣

If you aren’t sure why they are chanting "is there a fire drill?", it’s because the opposing teams fans are leaving the stadium because their team is losing, and there might not be enough time to comeback and take the lead. So there’s no point in staying. If there was a fire drill, you’d have to leave the stadium as well. Thus the fans are asking if there’s fans are leaving because of a fire drill.

1:36 they are saying they are Manchester United (Man United for short) so they will play in the dark (as you see the lights in the stadium are out). what is questionable about that?

these are pretty mild , but fun all the same, usually you get far worse at English games...lol

honestly this is very tame, you have opened a jack in the box so welcome to english football culture, prepare yourself! hahahahaha!

In the uk we have no filter and we make the US look soft it’s kinda funny an I don’t even like sport, it’s mainly funny to me when Americans are like “can they really say that” and the answer is well no but it’s stops nobody

We'll play in the dark,the floodlights weren't working and it was dark!!!

Ultras fanatic Reds remontada damnnnnnn🥂🇦🇹

the distance thing is easy everyone is proper loud and everyone joins in

The highlight of the week is often the match day in many European countries .. 😀

React to the ALL BLACK'S HAKA , the all blcks are the New Zealand national rugby team, the Haka is a ceremonial dance they do before major sporting events

lets pretend we scored a goal, i was there liverpool vs spurs , we lost but we had a great time .coys

1:41 They are chanting about playing in the dark because the flood lights went out.

Its great, its just our culture.

These are really tame.

It’s an island race. You should see when we join together and sing about countries.

That’s standard for the pubs and in the stadium on match day.

"Kiddy" is Kidderminster which is an English town who's team they were playing, hence the, erm, fruity lyric.

The chant “we’ll play in the dark” is because there was a power failure in the stadium. Not what you guys were thinking. Lol

North America wants live sports to be calm and family friendly. They nerfed the whole experience. With the loud DJ music at every stoppage and such.

The flood lights were not working

My English team Norwich song is on the ball city the oldest football song ever. Good video.

WhoosH!!!!!

Everytime i see you, i think that i see Chris Rock🤣🤣😂

I think the first one refers to when the floodlights didn’t work

A lot of the empty seats chants are directed at Manchester City by Manchester United fans

Loved the smile on his face, she maybe not get the accent, in her question how could they get a chant going? When football was watched from the terraces fans were one...to be honest a populous commentry....hey ban this next

The one you want to react to that has the real savage ones is American vs English football chants (funny/cringe) on ‘PC EIRE’ channel 👍

THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO LOOK LIKE ITS A BIT MAD HAHA JUST RELAX AND ENJOY IT XD we don take all sou serius outside of united states haha

we'll play in the dark beacuse the lights were out

4:50 John Lewis is a chain of up market department stores in the UK. This chant reminds me of when we played Luton Town and their keeper's surname (written on the back of his shirt obvs) was Justham. We sang "You're just a shit Tesco sandwich,, you're just a shit Tesco sandwich...". (Tesco is a chain of supermarkets) Apparently other teams supporters heard it (or thought of the same chant?) and it followed him around for the rest of the season, possibly his career! 6:02 "Can we play you every week" This is often sung when you're thrashing a team, especially if its not the first time you've thrashed them in the season. 9:37 "Is this a fire drill" When your team is getting thrashed it's often tempting to leave early. When this happens en masse this song is often sung by your opposition. 10:37 The words of the chant just spread around the crowd, especially the shorter ones, these chants generally follow a common format that's sung by a lot of team's supporters. The longer chants, with more complicated words, are often thought of (and practised) on the train home from away matches. The rest of the supporters will pick up the words pretty quickly. A lot of teams supporters have songs that they keep for years, Wimbledon (my team) has one known as The Champagne Song, sung to the tune of Sailing by Rod Stewart: Chorus: Wombles, we are Wombles, We are Wombles from the lane, (Plough Lane, the road our ground is on) We are Wombles, super Wombles, We are Wombles from the lane. 1st verse: "We drink champagne, We snort cocaine, We've got ladies over here, You've got shit jobs, You shag your dogs, And you wife is on the game" Chorus again... 2nd verse: "We drink Campari, We drive Ferrari, We've got Wombles in our lives, You've got bus stops, And second hand shops, And you mum's in Readers Wives" Edit: If you google "readers wives" maybe do it in private browsing mode...

everyone picks up songs very quickly

For future videos,please enlarge the video itself

If you haven’t already you should react to British meme/iconic moments

You two need to watch "American football chants v English football chants" but be warned it's embarrassing if you're a yank

You know what I wanna say...

reminds me of the student section at the local football team's old stadium..obviously not at this level but, they were rowdy..made epic beer cup snakes..there were some good chants the first year we got our hockey team back too "Croooooosby's beeeeeeetter" aimed at Ovechkin and "siiiiiilver meeeeeedal" aimed at the opposing team's American goalie who lost to us (Canada) in the olympics..

That's English fans for you

The football chants in this video are pretty tame compared to some. I think you'll both find this selection a LOT more amusing! :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mm62RmV3p_w.html

how do they get everyone to join in? that would be alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol

Dee needs a matching chair…….just saying 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Kiddy family chant 😂😂😂😂

Football football?! You're talking about American grid iron football. The game where you use your HANDS. This is proper football. Soccer is a slang term.

Kiddy family is kidderton

Could you make the video window smaller...I can almost see that there is something moving!

The way this works someone calls the chant it is picked up and spread through the crowd. Usually the tune is well known. But if you REALLY want to see what a British crowd can do watch The Green day crowd at Hyde Park sings Bohemian Rhapsody .that will knock your socks off.

England will show USA what England fans are like at the World Cup in USA 2026 👍🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Y'all need to watch Green Street Hooligans. Song about bubbles. No shit. Westham for life

The UK has had football songs and chants since the fiftees each club has its own song Liverpool especially has a lot of songs rember football came from England everyone else copies the football culture

The fan's that sing the "KIDDY FAMILY " chant are the away fan's who are taking the piss out of the home fan's who support KIDDERMINSTER HARRIERS FC in KIDDERMINSTER. The away fan's who are singing this chant are fan's of UNITED OF MANCHESTER FC, who are a fan's football club who supported MANCHESTER UNITED FC but because of the American owners, these fans will not go to Manchester United games because of how badly the Glazier family have ruined Manchester United fc. CFC 55 ⚽️💙🏆🥇💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦

I've never gone to a football match (Fulham) and not lost my voice for a few days Btw you're co-hosting a WCF soon...ish

Mad Lads..

Can you guys get Glastonbury in the USA this weekend

Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars (The alternate original video) REACT PLEASE.

VASCO ! Brasil , Rio de Janeiro

We don't want, Battle field weapons in our society, we have chants instead ,NO one dies ,but maybe they will feel shame ,just maybe. And Alter their behaviour, who knows,! But we will continue to sing / chant .

1:00 Man united= Manchester United

You guys are awesome But this chants is mild you should do the best football chants

A cardboard box has more personality then this woman. Lighten up 😂

React to: ULTRAS our Way of Life

Worlds best ultras/fans - Europe! Plzz do a reaktion video

Why was she even reacting..? Bro would have had more fun with some mates sitting next to him. Women just don't get it. It's Brit fans giving shit to oppo Brit fans. Been part of our culture forever. Thank fuck she didn't hear the Adam Johnson chants, lmao

React to Football ultras: our way of life

You should see the chants from central & south America . Especially when River Plate vs Boca Jr face off against each other. I suggest you watch the reaction to the Copa Libertadores 2018 final River Plate vs Boca Jr played in Spain .👌🏟️🏆👌👌👌

America and the UK separated by a common language

React to chase the money freestyle by juice wrld I don’t think you understand how good this freestyle was.. you will watch this man make a song by freestyling.. raw… explicit.

England was banned from the World Cup many years ago for hooliganism. When I say England...I mean the entire country - no one from England was allowed to attend. Philly football fans don't have anything on European soccer fans....they are baaaaruuuutaaaal. From personal experience, in the '80s I witnessed a class between Hamburg Germany Police and drunken soccer fans getting off a train after loosing to Munich...it was a bloody mess...

That could have been a radio show for an oldie like me.I couldn’t hear all the words or read the captions on that little screen.Nice try though.

they lost the lghting so everyone used their phones

upvoted for the T-shirt.

What's the point in doing a reaction video when it's too small to see what you're reacting to.

Yes it's football football 🤦

Totally wasted on this pair! 👎👎👎

Reaction 13 chant Indonesia tebaik sirr

Americans just don't understand it's called passion for the game.
