The NFL's First Germany Game Is EXACTLY What They Want International Games To Be | Pat McAfee Reacts 

To get out of that Arena is awful. You can spend 2 hours in your car waiting or stay in the Arena

The tickets were so expensive everyone was trying to get the most out of it

dud there was a huge spot in the stands.. that was empty the hole game on 2nd lvl

Is normal by us when we come together 10k+ people We are all diffrent but in the heart have we one voice And thanks for this Event in my country

@@TheCanadiens33 Been to multiple big sold out Games in that Stadium, and I never had any problems getting out. Good connections to the local train and Metro System, and it's directly situated on the Autobahn. Never took my 2 hours by car to get out.

As awesome as it would be for the UEFA champions league to come to America, that will unfortunately never happen, at least in our near future

@@matthewpeterson9209 My friend money talks and UEFA still has to look over their shoulder with the whole Super League idea still floating around.

European fans are crazy, WAY better than American. Its not even close bro. Go watch the video comparing NBA fans to Euroleague basketball fans. Europeans regularly have gang fights after games. I love my teams, but I’m not having battle royale’s in the street over it.

And at least half were transplanted Americans and American military personnel so we can all calm down. And there is zero way to schedule a SuperBowl for a time of day in Europe that works for its overwhelmingly largest audience in the US. And yes I know that the game has a world wide audience that continues to grow.

@@miguelarias5193 Yes and all the money is in TV times that work for Europeans. You can grow the American audience by a tick or two and devalue the broadcast rights deals in the short term and piss a lot of people off. Arguing that growing an American TV audience just doesnt work because no US team, no audience outside the die hards you already have.

Ajax singing three little birds is amazing too

Looked it up because of this comment.... that was pretty damn cool

They probably learned it from the Fallout 76 trailer

@@B___848 Nah, it's one of the songs that people always sing in beer tents, on Oktoberfest and other local festivals.

So, so Europe lol. Right into Zombie Nation

Being an American of Swiss-German descent, I loved every minute of watching that game. I hope my Buccaneers play a game there again soon!

He is right! On gameweekend you can hear people talking german at any famous bar in london! Was there twice... greetz from germany

Bitte schön, your welcome to come again with more games 😉

Exactly, we love football. Every sunday evening it is NFL time at our family and my boss knows why i am always tired on Monday mornings 🤣🤣🤣 And what luck we have to watch some College Football on saturday, too 🥳

They don't have to talk nice, it's on video. You Germans play rugby or something similar?

You’d get a much better atmosphere in the UK if the games were anywhere but London .

@@adamwilliams2874 The NFL has zero fanbase in the UK, that's the reality. It's like putting a premier league game on in california or something, makes no sense.

@@BeBe-vh4ry Simply not true.

If you played a pl game in California that place would be sold out in a days if not hours lol

@@BeBe-vh4ry not really true is it

I hear that a lot Is it true that the spirit for ur team isnt the same as before and it has become too commercialised?

What kind of narrative is that?! You did NOT LOSE a home game... like WTF?!?! All the administration work for years to exceed the schedule for a 17th game happened for International Series. Well communicated over past years. Ultimately aimed for full 16 International Games over the next years. Australia, China Brazil, France, Spain running up.... the Marketing Rights for these Countries have already been granted to selected applying Teams! If it wasn't for the global claim you'd still have 16 games and not missing out ANYthing! No you are gaining smth as well on top!

Idk about that. There's multiple NFL games versus 1 NFL game in one country. They're just better fans than UK

@@darienford860 shutup racist

@@darienford860 no better than American fans. It’s just that when people get into a sport here they get really passionate about it. I have been to NFL games since I’m American myself but there’s nothing like European football ⚽️ fans

A good game might get American fans that loud and active but congrats to Germany for showing up. The crowd noise was leaping from the television from the opening kickoff without letting down

Kudos to thier fans....but I know the flock shows up in bmore and M and T bank

I tried to get tickets on the website as soon as they were on sale. And I mean in the exact minute. And I was number 720.000 in the waiting queue. Lol……

You guys did Seattle proud and then some with how you guys showed out. Like, you guys are the talk of our town, and will be for a while probably

@@DrJellyFanguzzz Seahawks have one of the bigger fanbases in Germany, since the current boom started in the year the Seahawks won the Superbowl, and many stayed with them. Seahawks were the perfect team for the first German game

You do know both Pat and Geno went to WVU, and County Roads is the song they sing at the end of every game :)

It really has not become a huge sport in Germany. 90% of Germans could not name a player besides Brady and do not even know that there is an American Football league in Germany. However, there is a small and passionate fanbase. If you factor in all the surrounding countries, the US military personnel and the "event fans", there will never be a problem to sell out stadiums.

@@dagda3000 okay? I bet 70% of the United states couldn’t even name a player besides Brady, doesn’t mean the fan base isn’t huge, even 10% of the US is 30 million so a small percentage of Germany is big too lol

@@kylewade8704 he's a bot and hates football

​@@dagda3000 football is now the second most popular sports in Germany behind soccer

@@RandyMahnke Lol. It is not even in the Top 10. Soccer, Golf, Ice Hockey, Basketball, Formula One, Handball, Tennis, Skiing, Cycling and Boxing are the Top 10.

@SGTKIRKLAND exactly! When I was allocated by the Tennessee Titans to play for Frankfort Galaxy over there in the last year of NFL Europa in 2007, the fans turned out. We packed the stadium, whistles blowing, and way louder than any NFL stadium at that time frame. Ole Roger canned that league because I’m sure it wasn’t his idea. Those Germans have been waiting since then to get it back over there. Shout out to all the guys on the 2007 Galaxy team. Memories made that we will keep a lifetime!

It was surprise that you showed out so hard for a very uniquely American sport, and sang a uniquely American song at the top of your lungs. Thank you. Love you guys.

„Great Team“ weiß ich jetzt nicht…

Real football is played in America lmao what we say goes

@@mrkush6141 no! You play American football. You are the only ones who call football soccer in the hole world🤣🤣🤣

@@marcelsievering124 what we say goes you play soccer lmao we play football... lmao hole world dym whole

@@mrkush6141 you clown

Other then having enthusiastic fans, the way our stadiums are built is different too. Like in the US the sound is better in a dome then it is in an open stadium without a roof. All german stadiums have to have roofs over all seats. So the sound waves are also reflected back down, compared to open stadiums.

Yea we are very loud. I was in the stadium too. I am a German NFL fan and for me it was the best I ever see in 22 years NFL fan. I was at few Super Bowls, home games from the patriots and lot more. It was an amazing event. We will more :-)

My ancestors are from Germany. Conrad II, Holy Roman Emperor Of Germany was my 32 nd Great Grandfather. He was born at Hersfeld Abbey Bad Hersfeld in Hesse.

Come back bro

@@mikemathias1562 Yes, it would be nice to have more people who want to be here because of the country it's people and culture and not because they get money from the government.

Thanks. Chrismas Market is open till Dec. 24th. Come for a Glühwein 😃👍🙋‍♀️

Careful. Last time Germans were proud to be Germans things went sideways pretty quick.

Lol, if there's one thing that is more reliable than death and taxes it's the NFL will be chasing all the money it can, and since the game was VERY well attended you can bet there will be more

@@quest4adventure495 let’s keep it that way

@@quest4adventure495 lmaoooo good one

@@quest4adventure495 AHAHAHA I’m dying 😂😂😂 your sense of humor is on point.

That’s unfortunate. But don’t let a few idiots in a chat give you an inaccurate impression. Some people think they are being funny with those references, but really they are just being extremely insensitive.

@@stevenguild2707 The thing is it’s not just a few…I love the US but I feel like the „common people“ are quite uneducated when it comes to Germany and Europe in general😐 When we go to the US we hear things linke: Do you have cars? Do you have electricity? Is one of H*tlers grandsons chancellor? BMW is the best US car brand!

@@cadenadelreino1442 Lol. Those people are straight up trolls. The average American thinks of Germany in a favorable way. We look at England, Australia, Germany, etc as friends now. Don't let some people who are intentionally trying to create problems make you think differently.

@@cadenadelreino1442 It is sad but true. I have known these questions for years because I am very often in the USA and also have good friends there. Not much has changed. I keep asking myself why is that? The answer is still open... and BMW is a German car. I live in Munich and BMW is at home there 🇩🇪🙋‍♀️

How did you get tickets? Which prize? I am 30 yrs a NFL Fan but was not willing to feed scalpers brim to the max! Is NFL broadcasted on a rather usual channel in Dutch TV? Since when?

20 hours?💀☠️

20 hours from the Netherlands? Did you ride a bike with 20 kmh?

20 hour drive from the netherlands? you driving in circles? 😅

@@alexri.804 🤣🤣🤣

Well I know of 2 times they didn't welcome us over

Allianz arena is Bayern's stadium

I think the american fans would not want that and i can understand it.

nonono .... Berlin Olympic stadium

@@luking4freedom560 yea like normal people could attend the superbowl nowadays. feel like there is no sb in the past that could match with the atmosphere in germany.

@@luking4freedom560 I keep hearing rumors about Championship League doing a Final in the States, so I can understand how y'all would feel.

John Deutschendorf was his real name.Translated it means John Germanvillage Yes, im serious.Go and look it up😎

@@darolhitman3154 Well I will be damn! Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., known professionally as John Denver, was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, activist, and humanitarian whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer.

Oh, which team did you play for?

@@Skyl3t0n Hildesheim Invaders if I remember correctly.

@@Skyl3t0n I just saw this my bad. I played for a team called the Invaders. Hildesheim Invaders but this was back in 2014 or 2015 I get the years mixed up.

@@christianiffland3729 yeah that’s the team! Got a nice ring to bring home from it too and still in touch after all these years with a ton of those guys and a bunch of people from that town too. They really did embrace us out there. It was an experience I’ll never forget

Thank You! Best post here in between Trash Müllennials! Yep us Gen X kids are the true Fans! 80s/90s FOREVER! ELF is unnecessary cheap crap. NFL is just 3 yrs late rather setting up a whole European Division. Would be so much greater! 90s CEOs took a way bigger risk from Zero full throttle and it worked! David Stern NBA e.g. It was the Trash Millennials that ruined US Sports in favor of Bööörti Vogts again come 2000! 🥴 Just like they first killed Music Business with their talentfree Shitney Spears XYZocialites 'Heroes', then overall Entertainment, Society, Politics, now Economy...

The crowd in Munich had more energy than almost any NFL crowd in the US and the UK.

Had to be a cool moment for Geno Smith

@@JimDandy69 Right?

@@shanecovey1901 I know that as a Jets fan, not a West Virginian... But that had to be special no doubt about it

95% of Germans do not care. But they have a small and passionate fanbase.

They also have the European league of football with old NFL Europe names.

Well, you know, the UK still has this pull over us Americans. Something about separation anxiety or along those lines. 😅

🇩🇪👍💯🙋‍♀️

Sounds good 👍🙋‍♀️

It was scheduled as a Bucs home game, but considering all the Seahawks fans, they could have made it their home game.😅

@Stefan Jager And we have yours. What a beautiful country. Please teach us how to make people ashamed of sympathizing with Nazism. lol

Idk about that bud

Yeah, literally never

if .000000000000000001% is a great chance sure, sure it does.

@@johncarolina4950 Bayerns arena looks sick would be cool but definetly a slim chance

@@sheddy22 For the betting and satellite delay alone it will never be in a foreign country

NFL mentioned that almost 3 million people tried to get tickets in total for this game alone. Rest assured that NFL is coming back to Germany soonish

@@Kessra It would have been 3 millions and 1 if I knew about the game. I would walk the the narrow Autobahn side lane from Heidelberg 350 km to München just to see that game. The fact that Tom Brady played with traffic coming in my direction plus truckers in a bad mood

@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 Damn Bro, that’s a long way 😂

Not even enthusiastic german fans and german beer could save the pro bowl from being the worst game of the season including even the hall of fame game. Football without any sense of competition is barely watchable. The german crowd was awesome but please don't torture us with a pro bowl!

Is like playing the DFB-Pokal abroad! Is still a/the NATIONAL Football League. Let's not take that away from the US and their fans. But somewhat like the Probowl would be nice. A separate NFL-Event abroad. Quasi eine Klassenfahrt für NFL-Footballspieler... 😉

Send a song list to the fans in USA...that's cool my friend 😃👍🙋‍♀️

That in-between crap was never needed! The GFL was just fine. It's the stupid majority who do not support/join their local Football Team to better it! Verein is actively moving your ass! Now that artificial ELF is even dividing that little crowd and the GFL Teams have it even harder to survive! NFL Europe league which somewhat is planned again but like 3 yrs to late. NFL can hype proper and exhilarate on 90s Pioneer Grounds. ELFchens und ELFlein just suck. No-one cares to get sucked in but already Hardcore Football Fans with to much Hartz Time! Just for some money-greedy, fame hungry commentator we may not get NFL Europe 2.0. I don't see how that would fit into. NFL can proceed setting up, then ELF is crashed anyway but I'm afraid they may refrain or at least delete efforts. We need a NATIONAL league set-up anyhow, it's not working without developing youth! Anyone within 60km radius shall be able to join a Local Team like GFL has grown into with approx. 40 yrs heritage. And then NFL Europe as perfection enjoying the game passively and associating even better with National Teams. There is no space for ELF-Crap. Even in USA Summer side-leagues are not surviving on such a huge market. If any ELF quickly put together with crap design ruined NFL expansion. Who is wearing their ridiculous merchandise? Not one real kool logo or team uniform. Setting up in 2020 where each kindergardener can digitally photoshop! All the Sponsor Stickers on clothes like Soccer Suckery. 🤢 🤮 Nah needs no promotion, the sooner it closes down, the faster we get real Frankfurt Galaxy again! Owned and marketed professionally!

A lot of Germans speak English fluently too.

Germany only, your numbers are right, but if you add all the other american soldier in 6 hours airplane distance to munic from italy and co, and you get a six digit numbers of soldiers.

@@aqvamarek5316 there are about 60k US soldiers in all of Europe. Six hours is almost back in the US. Anyway. Of course there must have been some soldiers, but also tourists and Germans. Football games in Germany usually only draw hundreds of people, but the first ever NFL game must have attracted more.
