"What you might not know is that most of the clips were from away matches involving German fans in England."
Absteiger
Nur der Svd💙🤍
There was just one Clip from a home game. And all the fan marches are most likely away games of the champions league in other europen countrys. This marches happening not every game just befor special once.
wir sind eben aus tradition anders :D
Hier regiert der SVD🔵⚪️⚜️!
In europe most of the clubs won‘t give their number „12“ to a player, since there are 11 soccer players on the pitch and one player is off the pitch… the crowd is the 12th men indeed
"Most" is a exaggeration. More like "some"
@@bogdanhify I dont see clubs like Oil City, RB Leipzig…. as „clubs“.
played in a village football team. thats the exact reason i got the 13 instead of the 12 :D
@@support4583 normal people dont see u as a normal human too...
3:30 was probably the section dedicated for the fans of the away team so the home fans where still arriving
Yep , these were german fans( Dortmund) in England
British tourist fans taking pictures of real fans.
These are Dortmund fans at the Emirates(Arsenal)
These were all scenes (except the 8:07 one) from German away games in Europe.
At the end was Arsenal v 1.FC Koln. I was there. As an Arsenal fan. I was impressed.
Of course you were, because every German fanbase or proper Ultras scene outside of England is taking over your theatre in London.

@@stipe9773 the few English Football fans are watching German Football anyway
These ultras are only on one of the four stands of a European stadium, the other three are for families and "normal" people :)
Thats not true in all countries.
Establishment sheep with no personality spotted
That is not it at all. Two OPPOSITE corners of the stadium are for the ultras. One corner for each team
Come see what it's like in Australia. 100,000 fans at an Australian rules grand final with no flares, no gang fights, a big happy family including young kids, one, maybe two morons at best. Biggest weekly attendances of any sport in the world per capita, and fourth highest overall regardless of the population. if you don't know about it, search for, "What is AFL, Aussie rules explained." 🇦🇺🦘
@@AllLivezmatter ok usualy one block on the oposite site for the away fans,but its not the whole stand :)
These walks to the stadium, are usually the away fans. The fans arrive with special trains and get escorted by the police to the stadium to avoid contact with the local fans.
What is important to me is that the ultras do not only use the events to support, but also to express their opinions about things that happen in other areas of life. When many thousands, many tens of thousands of people shout something, you can't help but pay attention.
9:27 this was the first International Game in Years for the 1.FC Köln against London, and to support the Team, round about 35000 Fans drive to England even they have no Tickets for the Game. 😅
against which london? tottenham, west ham, arsenal, chelsea, crystal palace, fulham?
@@PanAm747Clipper Arsenal
@@x_Heisenberg_x ok
Ultras are the player #12 they are a KEY element IN THE GAME. They are the atmosphere, the support, they give that extra push to the players so they keep on fighting. Ultras travel with their team to support them in wherever city or county they go play. Win or lose they are there chanting cheering for their team. RESPECT!!! Btw one corner (curva) of the stadium is for the ultras of the home team and the opposite curva is for the away team. You will never ever sit them near each other, that will not be good 😅
To prevent a fight between the Ultras in a high risk game like Dortmund vs. Schalke the home and away team are separated by police from each other before, during and after the game.
Gotta remember that most of these are away fans, hundreds of miles away from home, mostly in other countrys and usually on a random tuesday or wednesday evening
3:30 in Europe fans are often devided, into sections and they enter/leave the stadium at different times, so they won't kill each other, when coming across.
There are even some stadiums, where fans of each team have their own sections at nearby trainstations divided by fences and of course so they won't sit in the same train/tram/bus.
and thats the reason why I will never attend a Football Match with my little son. I go to Ice Hockey Games with him, they are just fun
@@tennents7843 There is no problem with that. I was never a big football fan but I was 4 when I was the first time at a football match with my dad (Schalke vs Dortmund, whicht is considered very dangerous) and it's as "dangerous" as going to an opera for normal people. "Casual fans" are also devided from "hardcore fans" and ultras. There is actually even no way for a normal person to get tickets for sections where fireworks and all that stuff happens.
People who just want to casually watch a match will absolutely not come into contact with any of this ultra stuff.
As an Englishman,I can only applaud the ultras in pretty much every European country.
Been to many of the games over there following Manchester United and the atmosphere was always top notch.
Dortmund were special when we went there and the Yellow Wall is impressive as was Schalke but the best I ever saw was at Fenerbache in Istanbul,Turkey.
At one point,3 quarters of the stadium looked it was on fire,and the chanting was deafening.
In Europe the other sections apart from the Ultras sections are for those who just want to sit down and watch the game unfold. Sometimes I even forget about the game when I'm just watching and listening to the ultras
1:42 This is actually a normal sight at large games. Away team fans are brought in by train, collected at the railway station by the Rozzers and then marched to the stadium to prevent pre-game riots. Deutsche Bahn (railway company) often runs dedicated extra trains for the incoming fans, so they don't travel on regular trains.
I wish…there are a lot of ‚regular fans‘ causing enough riot without having to belong to the Ultras….
@@lynnm6413 Ultras are generally not violent. The term comes from 'ultra loyal fans'. Some well known footballers like Manuel Neuer have been Ultras. The people you were thinking about are Hooligans. That's a completely different group.
@@dschoene57 I have to disagree with you there.
As a German citizen, hailing from the Ruhrgebiet originally, I had to travel by train returning home from Uni a lot of weekends with fans of various football clubs, traveling to and sometimes, if rarely, from a game.
Those were hardly the hardcore hooligans or ultras, which often get separate trains to limit the chance of any meeting opposing fans.
I also lived in Hannover very close to the stadium, I could hear the chants from my room, so no…
I was referring to the regular drunken male football fan, singing fan songs during the train ride, getting into minor scuffles on train platforms scaring all the rest of the passengers and hitting on women in the inner city while being unable to string three sentences together in the middle of the day.
Harmless doesn‘t equal welcome, ya know?!
Cologne vs. Arsenal away from home. I was There and I will Never forget those Come on Effzeh ❤
Das letzte Wort hab ich erst gar nicht verstanden und dann so....aaah!😂 Greetings from the Ruhrgebiet
@@Winona493 😅
If the fans go overboard the team is punished. Either fans (income) are banned and they have a so called “ghost game” or they have to pay a fine. Also the fireworks are prohibited (bengal lights).
Here in germany and other european or south american countrys Football is just More Than a Sport for some people.
Its for life
It‘s also true that there are standout football clubs like Schalke 04 in Gesenkirchen who serve as a way to allow for men to gather together and be proud about something, follow their tribal instincts to group together and let loose.
Gelsenkirchen is the second most poorest county in all of Germany because they used to have great steel manufacturing and coal mining in the region called the Ruhrpott, but after structural changes and a lot of unemployment and foreign immigrants, Schalke as an institution is one of the pillars of societal cohesion thereabouts.
Reading a lot lately of male disheartenement and dissatisfaction, I have come to understand the value of institutions and traditions like old football clubs a lot more.
As a student at Uni I used to be annoyed as all heck when taking the train home and finding out that it was some important game in the Pott,
having to maneuver around drunk men at 10 am,
singing their songs in the train cars,
being greeted by police in the thousands at the station where I needed to change trains,
to be constantly watchful not to be caught in the middle of scuffles between opposing fan groups as to not get pushed off the platform with all my luggage.
However, I have mellowed quite a bit watching videos such as this, looking less at the obstruction to public life such as traffic jams, closed off roads, drunk men at lunch time being obnoxious in the inner city before the games.
Ultras are crazy all over Europe. As long as they behave, it's just sports craze. ^^
Well, the pyrotechnics are already dangerous and out of line but they just won't see reason.
@@DerEchteBoldthere are less people who get hurt from Pyro then from 1312😉

@@mntssth5004
That's not the point, I'd never pay money for that anyways, it's illegal in the first place, the clubs and associations just don't have the balls to really enforce their rules.
I don't know if it's the uploader or YT but somehow fascist censorship deleted my reply to the other one so I can't eloborate on that.
@@DerEchteBold because there is no "reason".
Pyro was never illegal for 20-30 years, until the Politicians decided to make it illegal, claiming that pyro is dangerous, wich is not true, if its not thrown into groups of people. Its a Part of the Fan culture, and it should have never been banned. But makes no difference anyway
I am Portuguese. This weekend was the end of The championship ended with the victory of my club Sporting. We all went out to celebrate.

Youre right. “The 12th man” is what good fans in Germany are called.
IN The US these would be classed as Riots.

Fun Fact, at every Game from 1. FC Köln (Cologne) in this Video I´m seen! Imagine you travel to London with your Club, you conquer the city with 25000 Fans. It was awesome!
How exactly did you ‘‘conquer’’ the city? Did you chase the London firms through the streets? Or even faced one of them?

Common, you know what he meant.
@@hw2508 I do, but traveling to London, drinking a pint and attending a match isn't something I would call conquering the city.

Mer stonn zu dir

Freue mich schon auf die Duelle gegen euch in der dritten.
When you say the crowd is like an extra player on the field. Well, we call them "de twaalfde man" here, which literaly translates to "the 12th man". (the other 11 are on the field for those that don't know the math in football).
In Germany we say this as well!
Zwölfter Mann 👍🏻
Next month, June, it will be Being Euro 2024, it's going to be crazy in Europe.
Yeah yeah yeah 😎👍
Usually at Euro‘s and WC the atmosphere is different. St least in Europe. There are no ultras, so it’s not that loud, no fireworks, not so organized chanting. Still great, but definitely different.
you can change your name, you can change your sex, you can change your religion... but you can never change your club...^^

In Germany, by law, 51% of shares belong to fans
Club members, to be more specific.
Greetings from Dortmund/Germany ,our Club the BvB make it to the Uefa Cl Final last night,the first time since 2013!
Final ist hosted by the famous Wembley Stadium in the UK on First of June
Geiles Spiel! Glückwunsch und viel Glück fürs Finale. Grüße nach Dortmand vom zukünftigen Aufsteiger aus Kiel (fingers crossed) :D
@@JohnTitor00 Danke dir :) Kiel und St. Pauli bitte aufsteigen,blos nicht der HSV!:)
As a Manchester United fan,I really hope BvB go on and win it,but you can keep Sancho,the premier league in England is too hard and fast for him.
@@TheCornishCockney he is welcome here but unfortunately we can't afford his salary...
@@TheCornishCockney yes because of all these amazing english teams...these teams that dominate europe tournaments...oh wait you guys are eliminate my bad ^^ and you only invest billions of euro in your teams or pound for uk people with money from oil-countrys like saudi or qatar yeah you guys are absolute amazing thumps up...
Just for completion, this is the positive side of the ultras when they are going crazy in a positive way, but there is a backside of the medal when they get crazy in a negative way. My impression is the last few years we have seen far more of the positive side.
Despite this the fans in Germany have got a lot of influence (indirectly). It was in discussion that external inverstors should pay a lot of money for getting a lot of influence (f.e. on dates of some games which they exclusivly wanted to broadcast (on extra days sometimes not at the weekend andby this a lot of fans wouldn't be able to watch them any more because they had to work). Furthermore a warning example is England where investors own the Premier League = higher TV-prices, very high ticket-prices. In combination To show their protest for several weeks they threw tennisballs on the pitch which interrupted the games again and again. In the end the Bundesliga gave up their investor fans. 🙂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
3:30 This is the section for the away Fans, these Fans travelled from Dortmund, Germany to London to support their Team in the international game ( Champions League, the top league in whole europe.) And they do this to every game, no matter how far, this is what Football means to us.
Almost all Europe Countrys have had fought against each other, even City against City, or got conquered by the strongest, and fight back, and so on.
Europe is born on Fights and Wars, and some Wisdom.
And Football ist the beautiful Way, to fight those ancient Fights without Weapons. Sports with Rules is a Good Way to do it. ♥
Ultra’s are called the 12th man for a reason
Great appetizer for todays Champions league semi final.
Don't forget, they also go with 25k or even much more people to the opposing teams stadium and do it there to support their team. Even to other countries.
The Euro finals are coming up mid June to mid July, the tournament will be held in Germany, this type of club support will be there, but this time, rival supporters of each nations clubs will put aside their differences and get together to support their Country, again is a magical moment, both on the Euro finals, as well as on the World cup finals.
That's the passion of the most beautiful game! ; )
Shame the Vid that you watched skippet the Framkfurt Ultras entirely and the Gelbe Wand in Dortmund. Must be an Beginner who produced it 🤣
Would say the producer saw that these two clips were already shown im every single ultra video and wanted smth different
Even then, they are missing. Barcelona vs. Frankfurt is a must in this topic.
yeah many germans still seem very coordinated with the shout into arm movement stuff xd
guest fans have to enter the stadium earlier as the home crowd in most cases(or something in that direction). thats why it still was so empty at 3:40
It's usually quite chill and family friendly too, there are certain areas for the ultras but there are also areas for families with kids. At most places at least.
Hey I like your content. I think it could be very interesting to make a video about how german ultras stopped a deal with an investor in the dfl.
The Copa90 channel has some great documentary TV style videos on their channel talking about the ultras more in depth, the history and lifestyle of the people and why they do what they do.
I highly recommend that Top Gear Tunnel video of the Audi quattro S1! It's a bit off topic but it's great!
Would love to see you react on Damaged by October ends
you should look at Hanover vs Brunswig (96 vs BTSV) they have a deep rivalry so the pyro and stuff are always something else
You should watch a compilation about Hannover 96 pyro shows. The last years have been insane
Hi Ian !! You might want to look into the football culture in South America as well. Especially in Argentina and Brazil, with the matches between Boca Jrs vs River Plate in Buenos Aires and between Flamengo vs Fluminence in Rio de Janeiro at the Maracana stadium. They are equally mad/exelent fans !!
Thats true love for the Team! Spend all ur little money to be part of ur Team every weekend.
Now I haven't been to a match for a while, and every country & even every club is different. But in general : Visiting ultras are guided by police to and from and from the stadium . There is a part of the stadium for the Home team ultras and for the visiting ultras ( Other side of the field ).Then there's parts of the stadium for more modest fans, families with kids and such. There are different entrances to these sections. ( With empty sections in between if it's a explosive match ) So with high risk games, there are 'closed off' sections to keep home team ultras from clashing into the ultras from opposing team . It's the ultras that travel along with their club when they play in other stadiums.
That first clip, from Schalke 04? They're the arch-enemies of my local football club (Borussia Dortmund, clip #3). When they played each other, people working with both fan groups in either city used to collect the Schalke Ultras at the train station and brought them to a place -- a field, or parking lot -- where "our" Ultras were already waiting. Then both groups were given permission to brawl, with medics and police present just in case. The rationale was to put a cap on possible aggression beforehand and keep it out of the stadium. Afterwards, they were marched separately to the stadium, watched the game and afterwards were brought back to that place to get rid of any frustration and anger by being permitted to brawl AGAIN.
No idea if they're still doing this, but a friend who worked for the municipal sports department said it worked, after a fashion. Meaning, no severe injuries, no property damage and everything was kept kinda, sorta, more or less ... uh, civilized? *whistles innocently*
Btw, the area for the local Borussia fans is known nationwide as "the yellow wall" (club colors are black and yellow) and are often considered to be the 12th player on the field because they can spur the team on so much
Oh, and they only sell drinks in plastic cups; players and/or referees have actually been injured when someone hurled a glass bottle onto the pitch. (One referee got hit in the face by a cigarette lighter once, too.) The guys in the yellow vests and helmets aren't police, but volunteer helpers who check for contraband -- like pyrotechnics and "weapons" like sticks or brass knuckles.
there are some good videos of NBA players talking about their time in Euroleague
nice reaction! Hansa Rostock!!!! OLE! greets from germany, baltic coast
That ist Schalke!⚒️💙🤍🤙😈 Greats from Germany!
Yeah my bvb 09 Dortmund, now they are in the final of the biggest tournament in europe
Its important to say that these fans showed are away fans in an international game and not in their home ground/city. To have a parade with all awayfans together from the city center to the stadium of the opponent it is what fans do in football instead of tailgate in the US (what i find also really cool)
Part of the crew, part of the ship.
I wonder why the video left out frankfurt Fans completely, the are definetely among the best Fans in germany
10:47 Incredibly cool and awesome
German Fans are the best in Europe, but the video doesn't show how crazy it realy is
The one thing that catches my eyes... the Audi Quattro in the background 😍 when Walter and Michèle Mouton ruled the rally world 😎 #bePassionate 😉
In the 3rd video thats the fan section 1 hour before the game even started
Check out "Ultras - our way of life"
1:49 The police vans have yellow license plates, so they are dutch.
The fans of Schalke 04 from Gelsenkirchen, Germany, followed their team in a continental match to the Netherlands.
I love to see you Americans watch to German Ultras. I am one by myself, and I love it.
I'm from Germany but I'm an NFL fan and we're looking forward to more NFL games
Fußball is really crazy in Germany AND in Britain as well!!! Well, they "invented" it, right?😂
All the videos you've seen there, were from away games mostly in the UK. So it's bit more amazing. In 2022 Eintracht Frankfurt was at their Europa League Game in Barcelona, Spain with about 30,000 Fans! Since then we've much problems to get tickets in european Countries because they fear another invasion xD
Mind these are all ultras and in a soccer stadium they always group in one area like the Südkurve (southern corner). So if you want to enjoy the game a littler calmer you can just book another corner.
What I don't like at all are the red pyrolights and the smoke. Sometimes the game has o be suspended for a while because the players can't see the ball properly any more.
Okay Jochen, weniger Heulen, danke
It’s the best!! Truly so exciting. Even if you’re in the stands in the midst of the smoke 💨
Not all Ultra groups have to be separated. There are also long running friendships between fan groups of different teams. For example the fan friendship between KSC & Hertha BSC. 3 weeks ago 12‘000 marched together to the stadium after a joined fan festival the evening before:

I strongly suggest you to watch the final of the Champion's League 15 of June ! Expect some insane supporting !
Borussia Dortmund is already qualified !
Greetings from the heart of Europe. Frankfurt.
1;40 - These are the away fans of Schalke being marched either to the stadium or to a train station to get to the stadium from there. Appears to be in Amsterdam. This is a common approach in European international games, since fans arrive from multiple directions by multiple means(trains, planes, cars) when it's an important game and there are lot of away fans are coming. Uefa says minimum 5% of capacity, so for most stadiums in Western Europe that would be around 3000-4000(more if agreement is reached between clubs). Police designates some gathering spot, usually a square in the touristy center, from where they do this organized march, called a "corteo". A lot of the terminology comes from Italy so it sounds italian - Ultra, tifo, corteo. So this Corteo achieves multiple goals at the same time. When all the fans are at the same place they get to have their fun and pose with "overtaking the city", have some beers, while being surrounded by Police to avoid any incidents with local fans actually happening. It's a bit foolish, but you get the best balance - make your presence known, without causing havoc like in 80s England.
In Europe you are born with love for your club. Your father was a fan, your grandpa, his father ...etc :). The club is "defending" the pride of your City. Its way more than just a sport for us.
Greece also has an insane ultras scene :-D
3:30 its common in european Football the away team arrives protected by police and early to the game, especially on international championships or specific rivalry. By the way, these are fans from my Home Team Borussia Dortmund. Like the Next at 3:54 as well... Most intimidating is the South Stand, die Südtribüne in our Stadium. Might wanna look for a compilation of choreographies from some of these Yellow an Black 24.454 People! :-)
The first one were Dutch police.
The eastern germany Clubs with theire Fans are insane too. Like Hansa Rostock , Dynamo Dresden, Union Berlin , Magdeburg , they like theire Fire aswell 😅
Beside of one scene, this was all German Away Support in European Cup Tournaments.
It depends a lot on the team. There are very funny fans but others are very dangerous with fights and even deaths. In Spain there are legendary rivalries like Betis and Sevilla that are very fun and others that the police have to intervene 🚔🚓
There is a very old joke, at 95 years old he joined Sevilla after a lifetime at Betis. When the son asked him the reason, the old man replied: So that one of Seville would die.
suit on the week, balaclava on the weekend!
Mainly away games, separated small sections for the german fans
The crowed of Köln Fans were visiting a Game in London! It was not even in Germany :-))
It is normal here, Fan Choreo !!!
Maybe another fact that is special. From where I live in Germany, 25 Minutes to Mönchengladbach (Black/White/Yellow - Minute 12:12), about 2h to Geselnkirchen (Schalke 04 from the start of the video), even about 2 h to Dortmund (yellow/black), Paris 3h by train, London about 6h by train (from here Manchester and Liverpool are easy to reach) , if you took the plane you can reach Barcelona and Madrid in less than 5 h (includes the transfer to the Airport). By American standards (I would imagine), the absolute top football clubs (worldwide) are packed together in a very small space.
Yellow???? Bitte berichtige das !
These are only clubs from 1st Division in Germany, you have to watch some clips of 3rd Division Teams like Dynamo Dresden, Wismut Aue or maybe even 4th Division with Alemannia Aachen! Nice Video btw.
Some fans are escorted by the police from the requisite train and bus stations
In Germany and most countries where football is so big, ultras live more than 90 minutes of watching football. They go to every game, make choreographies or new tifo material during the week. Especially the very hot choreographies, which sometimes cost 20-30,000 € depending on the situation and are only financed by the fans and then built themselves, are neglected in the video. Plus the pyrotechnics, which are forbidden but are a large part of fan culture. There are also occasional physical confrontations with opposing ultras and the police or prearranged fights.
When the fans are more into it and perform better than the teams player at times ... 😉
Btw: "Ein Leben lang, keine Schale in der Hand ...!" Glückwunsch zum Klassenerhalt! 😲
Accepted! Best wishes for the UCL final from a Schalker; just don't make a mess of it.
While these ultras look and sound crazy, which they are, they can take a vilant tone pretty quick also, most ultras are reserved in one or two sections of the stadium to prevent things getting out of hand, because violence can erupt,note that the police within the crowds are wearing helmets and body armor, just in case, good video though, blessings dude, keep up the great videos, thanks for the show,chau for now
8:40, dats my hometeam.
Watch the video of the „HSV Abstieg“. They got relegated and the show of the ultras was crazy.
You really should watch the Champions League Final on June 1st, that’ll be a great intro to European football.
Today you can watch history. Dortmund is taking over London. They are everywhere. Today is the peak of european football
3:51 that’s only the opposing team that came to the other city
I'm german but this is always crazy for me too!
