During international matches it's the crowds who sings the national anthems. It's so much better than some celebrity sings his/her own version. In many countries the music only play a few notes during the home team's anthem and the crowd takes the rest acapella. So fulfilling.
@@NB-or8rs It's not "supporters songs". Each team has a real anthem, sometimes written by supporters, sometimes by real musicians, but all of the teams magagers take one of these songs and make it the "official anthem" and some of these anthems are 50-100 years old songs We chant it at normal match, never the national anthem. The national anthem is chanted only when the national rapresentative plays, not when normal city teams clubs play US is the only democratic country that chant the anthem on every occasion, even when two teams of the same town meet, even during local kids matches. We never ever do that
@riccardocoletta2398 you think I'm American or what ? I know some clubs have their anthems, it's not because it's institutionalized that it's not a supporter song. I'm just making a difference with national anthems which are not coming from football but from the institution of the country. That's all My club doesn't have an anthem but several chants, some more important than others, but we don't sing one in articular before a game. It depends on the clubs.
@@MyHaytem Correct. Go to a South American city darby - you will leave pumped with adrenaline, and you will feel like someone put a magic spell on you. It'll wear off with time, but then you'l lwanna see more. It can really be addictive - you should try.
@@g0d077 Yeah I'm fully aware. I'm a big follower of latin American football and I often see how intense it gets. I'm from Morocco by the way, and our biggest game of the season is the derby between Raja Casablanca and Wydad Casablanca and it gets pretty chaotic, like Europe is nothing compared to it but I guess since Europe gets all the media coverage and attention it makes you believe there's no football outside of Europe.
@@MyHaytemit’s called European football, because the modern game was developed in England/Scotland. Also for a lot of people in the USA it’s a way to differentiate it from American Football, Australian rules football, Gaelic football etc.. It’s not a way to claim control or reverence over something enjoyed by the entire world.
@@kingkoopa115 Yeah, I get why Americans call it that, but for others is just out of order. It was first invented in England yes but it was over a century ago, now it's played literally everywhere, so why call that like it doesn't have an official name already?
To quote the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankley; "Some people think football [soccer] is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that!" ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
5:30 the stadiums are constructed in a way to acommodate these things. It looks insane that the upper levels move that much but they are designed to do so and if they wouldn't move that much it would put to much load on the structure
It is hard to compare considering a lot of factors...Europe has lots of teams founded at least 100 years ago, while Europe also fought itself for centuries...It is comparing lots of spectators (US) to an army walking into battle (Europe)...On matches, the visitor teams fans regularly are escorted by several police squads, often even in full riot gear just to prevent fights between fans...
I think that the US does have good fans. However as far as I understand it, the American federation (US Soccer) has cracked down on attempts to actually have shows in the stands. Fans wanted to do the whole thing, embrace the whole ultras culture, but the federation came down hard on them. So, I'm not blaming the fans, as much as the busybody federation and their party pooping rules.
Haha that's such a American comment. It isn't about what's allowed or if someone comes hard on you. Do you think all of those crazy things, fires, items flying on the field etc. Are allowed? Or that police never fucks them up? Ultras just don't care, they will fight the police for fun. Also I ain't sure if anyone would want to embrace ultras culture, atmosphere at sport events is the only good thing about them, otherwise they are fucking annoying :D
Suggest Check out Atlanta they have done good job developing fan organisation to be European or latin america level its still far to go, but on USA they are one of the best.
Ultras are banned in most stadiums here, sure they find a way in and they are a lot of fun when there's no destruction and people dying going on, but they can be too much a lot of times. What America lacks it's not a forced culture but true passion from the average fan. There's roughly a thousand ultras in any given match the other 30000 people chanting and jumping are regular fans. If you never cried when your team loses a final 50 years in the making, if you never went to the rollercoaster of a match when your team is about to be relegated, if you've never seen your little 5000 habitants town team jump to the pitch when the champions league song blasts the field or the day your tiny country team beat the london, Paris or Madrid team you won't know how it feels, that grabs you for life. Most of those videos are not showing the biggest, rich teams for a reaaon. Get rid of the draft, make a league where anybody can win if it's good enough and get rid of the teams that are not willing / capable of giving it all, then you will jump like this with or without ultras, but then surelly you will have them because that kind of passion is what breeds them.
In order to see the same passion I believe American sports will need a different structure. In Europe and South America the clubs have a connection with the city from where they are, that’s why you will see a similar atmosphere in Europe even to basketball games.
It’s there in college football. The university of part of the town and the state, with decades of history tied to the towns and cities. Not on the scale of the top European clubs but you’re never gonna find that atmosphere in professional American sports. NFL, NBA, MLB is all about money
@4 Yes, I know that, and I have the feeling that the high support for college sports is happening exactly because of the reasons mentioned in my previous message.
One thing I notice and what I like about Europe is how in sync they are, once one person starts chanting they all join in. in America (to me at least) it seems weird to have a drumb to start to chant in my eyes it feels like they have no real passion for their club, also I like how the english fans come up with catchy chants by adapting popular songs to create new lyrics based on their club or to mock the other team. I feel that's something that America is missing and should slowly start implementing.
These USA clubs are new, with new fans, mostly, they are creating those things just now, on the other hand, many of the club chants in football in Europe and South America have been passed on by atleast 2 generations, it's already there for even a new fan to pick up, I'd give props to USA team's fans for starting it when it's tough.
We are in sync because since we are 6 or 7 years old our dads takes us to a football game, where we see all the peaople chant, we see all the pyrotechnic effects that are illegal in Your country. Do not get me wrong I love the term American Football, it is Yours, (diversity, although it is played with the hand and not with the foot). Please, from the bottom of our heart, stop assigning terms to what You do not understand. Football is a team game invented by the English in the Middle Ages and is played with a ball and the foot. It is called soccer only by You. The rest of planet Earth has the decency to call it football.
the atmosphere on the Milan- Inter derby is so intense because the stadium San siro (or Giuseppe Meazza) is the home stadium for both teams. That makes this derby even more fire, just imagine two football giants from the same city and same stadium. with thousands of fans each. Been there, amazing feeling
Milan derby sucks, real derby in Italy's are Juventus-Torino, Genoa-Sampdoria, Roma-Lazio, Ascoli-Sambenedettese, Atalanta-Brescia, Palermo-Catania and so on
@@tomholland3806 Hellas - Chievo is a shit derby cause Chievo has no real fans, Verona's most intense games are vs Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma, Lazio, Napoli, Parma, Padova and Vicenza
To not even mention Rangers or Celtic when it comes to fanatical supporters from Europe is actually disappointing, especially when the likes of messi, xavi, Gary neville and Buffon all have said the best atmospheres they have experienced in football has been in stadiums in Scotland. Footballing snobbery
And one important point is that the US Sports in general have no relegation risks, it makes the end of each season totally uninteresting for most of the teams. In Football leagues in most of the world I believe, historically successful teams can be relegated to a lower division no matter what their history can show for. (Or financially)
The video was not really a great comparison, you are right. American football fans can get quite loud, but what is special about Europe is the variety of songs. Growing up in a 2nd div city it was normal to have unique chants for at least 45mins. To you point at 10:45 : The NFL game in Munich was probably the most hype all year. Basketball games are livid in eastern europe. The UFC Paris or London fight cards have the best crowds all year, even the mains are not that packed. My point is that the entire fan cultutre is different. *We go to the stadium to support our team, not to watch a game*. However you guys perfected the opening celebrations. Anthem + fly over always hit!
i think i found your channel through this video a few months back. soccer gradually soured on me over the years because fifa shananigans, super league etc and my favourite club beeing in shambles for like 20 years now. but watching you fall in love with the sport definitely reignited some of that. thanks man!
There are 92 professional soccer teams in the UK compared to 32 NFL teams in the US. (not mentioning the Rugby teams). Each club has deep, deep roots and ties in the communities that surround the grounds. One of my favourites is the 2016 Scottish cup final - This was Hibernian's 1st victory in the Scottish Cup Final in 114 years! In the aftermath of their 3-2 victory over Rangers, there was a five-minute rendition by Hibs' fans (after a pitch invasion), returning to the stands, of the clubs anthem "Sunshine on Leith" (the Proclaimers). Pure passion - worth looking up.
As a foreigner who loves futebol/soccer I do enjoy seeing the MLS becoming bigger and bigger every year. packed stadiums and passionate fans..plus you also got Messi playing in Miami. its a great time for soccer in the USA
8:55 "FRAMÅT MALMÖ" "HEJA DI BLÅE" "FORWARD MALMÖ" "COME ON THE BLUES" Call and respond chant from the Most Champions of Sweden Malmö FF. That was away in the Uefa Euro League against Chelsea when 3500 Malmö fans were outsinging 36500 Chelsea fans away at Stamford Bridge. Our own home support is electrifying with megasize flags, big tifo displays and flares. We sing for 2 hours straight minus 15 minutes at half time break.
Hi Luke, having been to many matches, there is simply nothing to describe the atmosphere in the stadium when to big teams meet, this is ramped up more so when the teams are known rivals or are part of the same city. You really must come and sample the atmosphere, and better yet, be part of it 🤩
My city had a really small football (I am portuguese so no I'm not talking about the American one) team, a couple of years ago a big fan of the team stepped in to help them get better publicity. Me and my friends like football a lot but we all supported different clubs so we never had a team to root for together, we saw our home town small 3rd division team as an opportunity...and oh it was beautiful to see more people joining in to support our small club. Seeing them finally making it to 2nd division with 25 000 other people who just kept on cheering and chanting was amazing
Hey i'm European and a proud football player/ Supporter. i played in the Belgium Competition, but also did tournaments against other teams like marseillie, lyon.. even an American team named Kick and Run. Btw: We slaughtered them haha xD but no diss ofcorse. You reacted with respect and already knowing we live and die for this Passion. I like your reaction, plz watch " Ultra our way of life" It's highly recommanded! And im sure you'll love it.
8:10 this is Aris, from Thessaloniki Greece.... If you're ever in Europe, please do yourself a favour and go watch a game with them, you won't regret it. I am not even an Aris fan but I loved going to their games when i was living there, the atmosphere is just great. The city is also very beautiful, with amazing bars and restaurants literally everywhere
There's a huge difference in the approach to the game. In America, football has grown out of universities and colleges, and has an academic feel to it. In Europe - and the rest of the world, - football is (or at least 'Was'!) the game of the poor and the blue collar workers. Football grew out of poor and working classes, it has never been the game of wealthy, white university students. I know football in America has taken root in immigrant areas of bigger cities as of lately, but it is still a university sport. In Europe, South America, and Africa, football has been the sport in which poor kids could dig themselves out of poverty - much like Basketball in the US. It could be played on small places with little or no other equipment needed, but a ball - like a small back yard. The clubs are the pride of a town or a city, they have grown for decades to what they are today. There's history in every club, which go parallel to the development of the community they serve. In America the attitude is that 'look what it is like in Europe, we must copy what they are doing.' And again, even the atmosphere becomes an academic exercise in manufactured cheering - rather than something which have identified clubs since the war. Also the sheer fact that American pro sports is primarily a money making scheme, while in other places even the best clubs can be relegated if not performing well, - which is unheard of in America. This means that every damn game is important, - for your club to be relegated, is a disaster. It is something Americans will never experience.
How about reacting to South American fans (ultras). Brasil, Uruguay, Argentinian clubs like San Lorenzo, River, Boca have such a long and solid football history that translates into their passionate chants ❤
@@kumiiz I think aggressive is a charged word that can potentially describe an undesirable behaviour so I prefer to use the word passion to define those fans who support their team in good and bad times, who attend every way and chant for 90 minutes long, fans who cheered for the same team since childhood, fans whose fathers took them the first time to the stadium and can change anything or leave anything but never their team. Yes in EU we have those fans but SA has them too.
Don't worry Luke you will witness the footballing world and how huge and great it is when the 2026 world cup starts in the Americas. Just watching videos you can see how great this sport is you have to experience the game on and off the pitch.
Fun fact: almost no club fan in Europe actually cares about the national team. These games are for Brits and people that usually dont watch football and then get all hyped up for the big tournaments. National team fan culture usually sucks and they dont have more than two boring chants. You wont experience actual fan culture during big tournaments, you only get that at club level
If you want this kind of passion in the stadiums in America, you need two things. First an historical culture. Most city if not every city in Europe is at least 500 years old. It has heritage, its own culture, and sometimes language. Plus it differs even more from region to region and again even more from country to country. Second thing is that football is the sport of the people, of the poor. So it can mean a lot for them because its their way to escape you know escape hard life. So who are in the stadiums ? Do you have parts of your stadium reserved for those associations of passionate ultras ? How much do you need to pay to come to the stadium ? Is it a family experience ?
The crowd with that "heart of the city" sign was the away mob from Aris Thessaloniki playing at Manchester City. I like both american football and football/soccer. I don't know which atmosphere is better. They're just really different.
10'54"-10'56" is the most risky phrase from an American that I remember but... BINGO!!! It could start at 10'31" (maybe).... to 10'56". The NBA could be excepted for basketball lovers but in decline ⬇️⬇️ (nothing to do with the era of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird...)! Thank you for your very accurate sincerity!!!
04:50 Cologne Stadium. During the last 14 Months i saw in that Stadium soccer, hockey and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. and in Frankfurt 05:30 i also saw soccer an Iron Maiden
Hi Luke , if you want a comparison that makes sense, you can look after Basketball ... Im a football guy but i also saw that kind of difference between US basket-ball and Europe Basket-ball, you should have a look at it, i think
Similar to bridges, many European stadiums are suspension. Means they can move. Check out videos on Ultras by Copa 90 or Ultras a way of life by Ultras World
In past our stadiums were concrete which led to tragic events when they collapsed eventually, so they build them now to move with people, similar to Japanese earthquake architecture. So stadiums today are way more safer and flexible..
8:00 Aris Thessaloniki is a rather small team from Greece. If you ever travel to Europe and want to experience a smaller first tier soccer country, Greece would be the place to govin my opinion: Some big traditional teams with great fans. Every big European club is afraud about away games in Pireaus or Olympiakos. But Turkiye or Portugal have also great leagues.
Worth mentioning, that was at Manchester, and still those 7000 away fans could be heard all over Manchester, and to this day, their march to the stadium is unmatched.
One of my favourite videos about a cetain european atmosphere, or more specifically - a song -, that is close to the hearts of many clubs is 'why liverpool fans sing you'll never walk alone' by tifo football, also the video of YNWA after the barcelona 4-0 game.
I’ve been seeing this kind of reactions lately, but I’ve never seen someone react to South American football; If you think Europe is crazy wait til you see Argentinean fans and Brazilian fans. I’m from Colombia and I can even say fans here in Colombia are much more passionate and crazy than most in Europe and we still accept Argentineans are much crazier
@@schtreg9140 I’m 100% South American. All I need to say to convince you is…. Argentina after winning the World Cup celebration. Edit. There’s no way I got ratio’d by this guy bro I have lost faith in humans 💀
@@Sebas07761 I did after you wrote that comment and it looks just like the crazy shit that went on in Paris after France won in 2018. The streets were a literal war zone. I'm not saying South Americans aren't among the most passionate, but I don't see this massive difference here to be honest
I watched an NFL craziest crowd chants. There was about 2 or 3 decent chants, 2 chants are just MVP. Some team singing Country Road but that wasn't in the video for some reason. I blame the person who made the video.
i try to explain why it's like that. I'm Italian, from Rome. Most of the teams were founded 100 or more years ago, usually by workers class associations to represent the city. It's something people felt "near them", something that represent their struggle as workers. Supporting that team is something that we pass from parent to children (once only fathers, now also mothers) so that some families support the same team since generations. It's not simply "sport", it's tradition, it's the stories your grand dad told you while you were walking to the stadium with him and your dad the first time you attended a match “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 Shankly
The clip in france, they are all singing at unisson the national anthem for the national team... It gives me chills everytime, better than listening a singer
Hey, I am glad that you like the atmosphere from Europe. Please when you have the time watch the derby between cologne VS Gladbach from Germany. It is incredible
I'm enjoying your videos and welcome to the world of football. May I suggest that you make a tournament reaction. Perhaps watch highlights of each game in a specific tournament you didn't know the outcome of, like a World Cup or Champions League.
Try to get footage of the Dortmund crowd inside the stadium, as well. What you saw was the march towards the stadium which is a tradition for the fans of the team and has a lot of atmosphere, but inside the stadium there is even more. It is called the yellow wall for a reason. Also try to find the liverpool fans singing you'll never walk alone. And if you want to see something different get some footage from FC St. Pauli - their fans wave pirate flags and the team enters to hells bells. Despite it being a 2nd tier team their fans are always very passionate about their team.
Just a little clarification, that match, was not in dortmund, that was in Belgium, when they played fc Bruges. I mean, having that in your city is nice, having that when you’re playing away and even in another country, that’s amazing. But yeah, the yellow wall is indeed something else too.
Hi Luke, it's always nice to find a new video of yours. Especially the tactics videos are amazing to watch. You even inspired me to become a football coach myself. Since the Women's World Cup has started just today, would you maybe react to some of the women's matches as well?
@@lukessportsacademy Well Done Luke. I am in my 7th decade of attending London matches:) Some of these clips like the opening one and The Malmo one were in a different Country like Malmo were at Chelsea in London:) "Ultras Greatest Chants" might blow your mind,my friend.
There is only one place a football team will break and that is at Anfield. When the crowd starts singing You Will Never Walk alone and all the other songs, there is no comparison.
all those are manufactured, Anfield on a European night mid week against the best, will be the best ever experience you can get. The best players and managers have testified to that.
Plus the European vids are ok nothing too crazy :)) like some crazy stuff that I could give u as an example that this are nothing are one time at a game the fans made an earthquake of 3.5 , there’s so many more and like some crazy fans sometime go out crazy and destroy the city like cars on fire etc maybe for a loss especially and so many more
In Germany the clubs are owned by the fans (club members). No Investor is allowed to hold more than 50% of a club. So the fans are directly involved in descision making.
Just an FYI... These are the relatively tame versions. There are also scary versions where they use roman candles and it looks like the entire stadium is on fire.
@@TheJpf79 The unwashed is laughing at me because I'm saying newcastle has a great atmosphere hahaha. Chill mate, you can have a good atmosphere in 2 places at the same time. Mug.
@@TonyEgg93 Bigot. Your team is bought with human rights abuse oil money and your only reply is bigotry because you know your shite stadium has no atmosphere.
I guess the biggest difference is that in the USA you don't have relegation and a soccer culture. So clubs who play very bad never relegate to a lower competention. Also, outside the USA, football (or soccer as you say) is deeply rooted in the culture of most nations. I'm a Dutch fan of my club FC Utrecht. This will never go away, even if they relegate to a lower league. But FC Utrecht is not one of the most succesful clubs in The Netherlands. All our good players are bought away by richer clubs. But if say AJAX plays in Europe, I support them because A: it's a Dutch team and B: many of those players originally came from Utrecht. And when our National team plays, the whole of The Netherlands stands behind them no matter for wich club they are playing.
Tbh I've seen something decent even in Us soccer recently, by a European standard. LAFC ultras for example are doing pretty good, even smuggling in flares, and bringing good numbers and compactness in "Curva"
There are 10k-30k Europeans being louder than more than 100k Americans and they didn’t get the flares/pyro or the fireworks out. And if you want crazy, try the Casablanca derby or red star vs partizan
Since you checked out AC Milan, I would like seeing you react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic Impossible goals. We are very proud of him here in Sweden. He started his career in Malmö FF(one of the chanting clubs in this video) 1999. He has been playing in numerous of the big European clubs like Ajax, juventus, Barcelona, PSG and of course AC Milan. He has even played for LA Galaxy. When he ended his career a few months ago, AC Milan gav him a terdropping farewell in a packed stadium.
It was only 1200 psg fans in a tiny corner, ch1nting from before to after the game, louder than the rest of the stadium, even tough we lost. Paris est magique
Just for your info: these are the European football teams in this video timeline: 4:10 Borusia Dortmund (D) in Belgium , 4:43 FC Koln (D), 5:20 Eintracht Frankfurt (D), 5:37 Northern ireland national team, 6:18 AC Milano (It), 7:04 French national team, 7:45 Iceland National team, 7:54 Aris FC (Greece), 8:18 Eintracht frankfurt (D), 8:35 Ajax Amsterdam (NL), 9:00 Malmo (sweden) , 9:30 Paris Saint Germain (F), 10:00 Romania National team,
Don't really get how you can say the Iceland national team is unknown because they're known of that support and fans all over the world were doing that.
@@MultiJejje Oh I see... Im sorry bout that. I didn't mean to say it is an unknown team. I was just ubable to find the logo and connect a team to it. So it's logo was unknown to me.. I even enlarge every single frame and couldn't find any flags. All i found where some chinese or japanese looking words on a blue publicity board. Well you soulved it. Again...very sorry
I guess the difference between Europe and the US is, that you got franchises in the US and Clubs in Europe. Europeans are members of the club. The participate in creating it's future and also are part of this whole surronding when there is matchday. They are implemented in this event. At the same time I feel like in the US you jusr visit the event, as if you are a customer. I guess that's why Europeans are more likely to invest time, money and passion in support of the team they like
Entiendo que recién estés comenzando a descubrir el fútbol. Soy argentino, aunque viva en España, y adoro lo nuestro. Pero deberías investigar a nuestros hermanos uruguayos (1º Campeón Mundial) y brasileros (5 veces Campeones Mundiales). Sobre todo éstos. He vivido también allí y es un auténtico placer verlos jugar (desde que nacen) en sus playas.
I used to take the piss out of American fans at football matches but after having seen the American toon army contingent turn up in there droves donning the hallowed black and white, during our current pre season tour you have my appreciation and respect, from vlogs i've watched sone travelled 800 miles plus, big love to the American toon army.
The American thing was pretty decent in fact, not as big a gap in passion imho. Of course European club ultras are going to be in a different ballpark, tradition and identity are different, it leads to stronger identification with your cub of choice. Dear Luke, have u considered/factored in the Messi effect when it comes to footballing culture in the US? I think it's gonna be huge, best regards from Spain from a Barcelona and Messi fan
That messi thing cant contribute to anything. I rememberMiami Heat in NBA... They had good team - everyone were miami supoorters...then all of them suddenly become GSW supoorters. Many people support player, not club. Nobody vlcan be above the club.
Finally, a reactor who immediately recognizes this is an unfair comparison. I've seen a few reactions to this video, and you're the first to point this out. Like you, I would like to see a comparison with American football.
During international matches it's the crowds who sings the national anthems. It's so much better than some celebrity sings his/her own version. In many countries the music only play a few notes during the home team's anthem and the crowd takes the rest acapella. So fulfilling.

And fought within the same countries.. religious and ethnic divided
Ye usa dont have thé passion
While Europe do have the passion
And a lot of the times even the riot police can’t stop out fans from going at it 😂

Oh didn´t expect that but I guess knowing some of the problemsa of the ultras I guess they didnt want that to happen.
Haha that's such a American comment. It isn't about what's allowed or if someone comes hard on you. Do you think all of those crazy things, fires, items flying on the field etc. Are allowed? Or that police never fucks them up? Ultras just don't care, they will fight the police for fun. Also I ain't sure if anyone would want to embrace ultras culture, atmosphere at sport events is the only good thing about them, otherwise they are fucking annoying :D
Suggest Check out Atlanta they have done good job developing fan organisation to be European or latin america level its still far to go, but on USA they are one of the best.
Ultras are banned in most stadiums here, sure they find a way in and they are a lot of fun when there's no destruction and people dying going on, but they can be too much a lot of times. What America lacks it's not a forced culture but true passion from the average fan. There's roughly a thousand ultras in any given match the other 30000 people chanting and jumping are regular fans. If you never cried when your team loses a final 50 years in the making, if you never went to the rollercoaster of a match when your team is about to be relegated, if you've never seen your little 5000 habitants town team jump to the pitch when the champions league song blasts the field or the day your tiny country team beat the london, Paris or Madrid team you won't know how it feels, that grabs you for life. Most of those videos are not showing the biggest, rich teams for a reaaon. Get rid of the draft, make a league where anybody can win if it's good enough and get rid of the teams that are not willing / capable of giving it all, then you will jump like this with or without ultras, but then surelly you will have them because that kind of passion is what breeds them.
In order to see the same passion I believe American sports will need a different structure. In Europe and South America the clubs have a connection with the city from where they are, that’s why you will see a similar atmosphere in Europe even to basketball games.
It’s there in college football. The university of part of the town and the state, with decades of history tied to the towns and cities. Not on the scale of the top European clubs but you’re never gonna find that atmosphere in professional American sports. NFL, NBA, MLB is all about money
Verdade. No Brasil, por exemplo, os times mais tradicionais têm 100 anos ou mais.
@4 Yes, I know that, and I have the feeling that the high support for college sports is happening exactly because of the reasons mentioned in my previous message.
One thing I notice and what I like about Europe is how in sync they are, once one person starts chanting they all join in. in America (to me at least) it seems weird to have a drumb to start to chant in my eyes it feels like they have no real passion for their club, also I like how the english fans come up with catchy chants by adapting popular songs to create new lyrics based on their club or to mock the other team. I feel that's something that America is missing and should slowly start implementing.
These USA clubs are new, with new fans, mostly, they are creating those things just now, on the other hand, many of the club chants in football in Europe and South America have been passed on by atleast 2 generations, it's already there for even a new fan to pick up, I'd give props to USA team's fans for starting it when it's tough.
Of course they have no passion for their club. The system is closed, so the club might leave at any moment.
@@rana1561 The NFL was founded in 1922. You had enough time to implement some songs.
@@fhsvsoxifdv what?
We are in sync because since we are 6 or 7 years old our dads takes us to a football game, where we see all the peaople chant, we see all the pyrotechnic effects that are illegal in Your country. Do not get me wrong I love the term American Football, it is Yours, (diversity, although it is played with the hand and not with the foot).
Please, from the bottom of our heart, stop assigning terms to what You do not understand.
Football is a team game invented by the English in the Middle Ages and is played with a ball and the foot. It is called soccer only by You. The rest of planet Earth has the decency to call it football.
the atmosphere on the Milan- Inter derby is so intense because the stadium San siro (or Giuseppe Meazza) is the home stadium for both teams. That makes this derby even more fire, just imagine two football giants from the same city and same stadium. with thousands of fans each. Been there, amazing feeling
Milan derby sucks, real derby in Italy's are Juventus-Torino, Genoa-Sampdoria, Roma-Lazio, Ascoli-Sambenedettese, Atalanta-Brescia, Palermo-Catania and so on
@@TheAleFraSte Roma - Lazia 100%, I would advice you to try Hellas vs Chievo Verona.
@@tomholland3806 Hellas - Chievo is a shit derby cause Chievo has no real fans, Verona's most intense games are vs Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma, Lazio, Napoli, Parma, Padova and Vicenza
@@tomholland3806Chievo doesn’t exist anymore
@@eleonoramileto5986 they do, they are now in the Serie D and on their way back up
To not even mention Rangers or Celtic when it comes to fanatical supporters from Europe is actually disappointing, especially when the likes of messi, xavi, Gary neville and Buffon all have said the best atmospheres they have experienced in football has been in stadiums in Scotland. Footballing snobbery
And one important point is that the US Sports in general have no relegation risks, it makes the end of each season totally uninteresting for most of the teams. In Football leagues in most of the world I believe, historically successful teams can be relegated to a lower division no matter what their history can show for. (Or financially)
The video was not really a great comparison, you are right. American football fans can get quite loud, but what is special about Europe is the variety of songs. Growing up in a 2nd div city it was normal to have unique chants for at least 45mins.
To you point at 10:45 : The NFL game in Munich was probably the most hype all year. Basketball games are livid in eastern europe. The UFC Paris or London fight cards have the best crowds all year, even the mains are not that packed.
My point is that the entire fan cultutre is different. *We go to the stadium to support our team, not to watch a game*. However you guys perfected the opening celebrations. Anthem + fly over always hit!
u really need to come over! your love for football is going to grow so much
i think i found your channel through this video a few months back. soccer gradually soured on me over the years because fifa shananigans, super league etc and my favourite club beeing in shambles for like 20 years now. but watching you fall in love with the sport definitely reignited some of that. thanks man!
There are 92 professional soccer teams in the UK compared to 32 NFL teams in the US. (not mentioning the Rugby teams). Each club has deep, deep roots and ties in the communities that surround the grounds. One of my favourites is the 2016 Scottish cup final - This was Hibernian's 1st victory in the Scottish Cup Final in 114 years! In the aftermath of their 3-2 victory over Rangers, there was a five-minute rendition by Hibs' fans (after a pitch invasion), returning to the stands, of the clubs anthem "Sunshine on Leith" (the Proclaimers). Pure passion - worth looking up.
As a foreigner who loves futebol/soccer I do enjoy seeing the MLS becoming bigger and bigger every year. packed stadiums and passionate fans..plus you also got Messi playing in Miami. its a great time for soccer in the USA
8:55
"FRAMÅT MALMÖ"
"HEJA DI BLÅE"
"FORWARD MALMÖ"
"COME ON THE BLUES"
Call and respond chant from the Most Champions of Sweden Malmö FF.
That was away in the Uefa Euro League against Chelsea when 3500 Malmö fans were outsinging 36500 Chelsea fans away at Stamford Bridge.
Our own home support is electrifying with megasize flags, big tifo displays and flares.
We sing for 2 hours straight minus 15 minutes at half time break.
I had no idea that Eintracht Frankfurt are sining Pippi Långstrump! That's a children's song in Sweden. Astrid Lindgren would be proud.
Hi Luke, having been to many matches, there is simply nothing to describe the atmosphere in the stadium when to big teams meet, this is ramped up more so when the teams are known rivals or are part of the same city. You really must come and sample the atmosphere, and better yet, be part of it 🤩
My city had a really small football (I am portuguese so no I'm not talking about the American one) team, a couple of years ago a big fan of the team stepped in to help them get better publicity. Me and my friends like football a lot but we all supported different clubs so we never had a team to root for together, we saw our home town small 3rd division team as an opportunity...and oh it was beautiful to see more people joining in to support our small club. Seeing them finally making it to 2nd division with 25 000 other people who just kept on cheering and chanting was amazing
10:00 Is Romanian 🇷🇴 national football team. 53000 people singing the country anthem. Proud to be romanian 💪🏻
Hey i'm European and a proud football player/ Supporter. i played in the Belgium Competition, but also did tournaments against other teams like marseillie, lyon.. even an American team named Kick and Run. Btw: We slaughtered them haha xD but no diss ofcorse.
You reacted with respect and already knowing we live and die for this Passion.
I like your reaction, plz watch " Ultra our way of life" It's highly recommanded!
And im sure you'll love it.
8:10 this is Aris, from Thessaloniki Greece.... If you're ever in Europe, please do yourself a favour and go watch a game with them, you won't regret it. I am not even an Aris fan but I loved going to their games when i was living there, the atmosphere is just great. The city is also very beautiful, with amazing bars and restaurants literally everywhere
There's a huge difference in the approach to the game. In America, football has grown out of universities and colleges, and has an academic feel to it. In Europe - and the rest of the world, - football is (or at least 'Was'!) the game of the poor and the blue collar workers. Football grew out of poor and working classes, it has never been the game of wealthy, white university students. I know football in America has taken root in immigrant areas of bigger cities as of lately, but it is still a university sport.
In Europe, South America, and Africa, football has been the sport in which poor kids could dig themselves out of poverty - much like Basketball in the US. It could be played on small places with little or no other equipment needed, but a ball - like a small back yard. The clubs are the pride of a town or a city, they have grown for decades to what they are today. There's history in every club, which go parallel to the development of the community they serve. In America the attitude is that 'look what it is like in Europe, we must copy what they are doing.' And again, even the atmosphere becomes an academic exercise in manufactured cheering - rather than something which have identified clubs since the war.
Also the sheer fact that American pro sports is primarily a money making scheme, while in other places even the best clubs can be relegated if not performing well, - which is unheard of in America. This means that every damn game is important, - for your club to be relegated, is a disaster. It is something Americans will never experience.
How about reacting to South American fans (ultras). Brasil, Uruguay, Argentinian clubs like San Lorenzo, River, Boca have such a long and solid football history that translates into their passionate chants ❤
In South America is Wild!!!!!!
european fans are still more agressive
@@kumiiz uhm it seems to me you haven’t seen an Argentinian game yet. 🤣.
@@paulamolinamir argentinians can be crazy, mas eu recomendo ver um jogo da Polónia, os adeptos são muito criativos
@@kumiiz I think aggressive is a charged word that can potentially describe an undesirable behaviour so I prefer to use the word passion to define those fans who support their team in good and bad times, who attend every way and chant for 90 minutes long, fans who cheered for the same team since childhood, fans whose fathers took them the first time to the stadium and can change anything or leave anything but never their team. Yes in EU we have those fans but SA has them too.
So if u want to see normal weekends then watch "Ultra our way of life!" and have fun
I am impressed with your excitement of soccer👍
Don't worry Luke you will witness the footballing world and how huge and great it is when the 2026 world cup starts in the Americas. Just watching videos you can see how great this sport is you have to experience the game on and off the pitch.
Fun fact: almost no club fan in Europe actually cares about the national team. These games are for Brits and people that usually dont watch football and then get all hyped up for the big tournaments. National team fan culture usually sucks and they dont have more than two boring chants. You wont experience actual fan culture during big tournaments, you only get that at club level
If you want this kind of passion in the stadiums in America, you need two things. First an historical culture. Most city if not every city in Europe is at least 500 years old. It has heritage, its own culture, and sometimes language. Plus it differs even more from region to region and again even more from country to country. Second thing is that football is the sport of the people, of the poor. So it can mean a lot for them because its their way to escape you know escape hard life. So who are in the stadiums ? Do you have parts of your stadium reserved for those associations of passionate ultras ? How much do you need to pay to come to the stadium ? Is it a family experience ?
The crowd with that "heart of the city" sign was the away mob from Aris Thessaloniki playing at Manchester City.
I like both american football and football/soccer. I don't know which atmosphere is better. They're just really different.
8:06 The yellow-black team called ARHS (for others ARES) is Greek team based in Thessaloniki second biggest city in Greece
10'54"-10'56" is the most risky phrase from an American that I remember but... BINGO!!! It could start at 10'31" (maybe).... to 10'56".

Hi Luke , if you want a comparison that makes sense, you can look after Basketball ...
Im a football guy but i also saw that kind of difference between US basket-ball and Europe Basket-ball, you should have a look at it, i think
Lol yeah that one where the stands were shaking genuinely terrified me too. If I'd have been there I'd have been running the fuck out!!!!!
He missed the Hamburg fans
Similar to bridges, many European stadiums are suspension. Means they can move.
Check out videos on Ultras by Copa 90 or Ultras a way of life by Ultras World
Watch some of the 2010 World Cup South Africa highlights the noise level and fans are crazy especially the vuvuzellas
Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith after their Cup Final win over Rangers is the greatest piece of football art ever.
In past our stadiums were concrete which led to tragic events when they collapsed eventually, so they build them now to move with people, similar to Japanese earthquake architecture. So stadiums today are way more safer and flexible..
8:00 Aris Thessaloniki is a rather small team from Greece. If you ever travel to Europe and want to experience a smaller first tier soccer country, Greece would be the place to govin my opinion: Some big traditional teams with great fans. Every big European club is afraud about away games in Pireaus or Olympiakos. But Turkiye or Portugal have also great leagues.
Worth mentioning, that was at Manchester, and still those 7000 away fans could be heard all over Manchester, and to this day, their march to the stadium is unmatched.
One of my favourite videos about a cetain european atmosphere, or more specifically - a song -, that is close to the hearts of many clubs is 'why liverpool fans sing you'll never walk alone' by tifo football, also the video of YNWA after the barcelona 4-0 game.
I’ve been seeing this kind of reactions lately, but I’ve never seen someone react to South American football; If you think Europe is crazy wait til you see Argentinean fans and Brazilian fans. I’m from Colombia and I can even say fans here in Colombia are much more passionate and crazy than most in Europe and we still accept Argentineans are much crazier
In what way are they crazier?

You should check the Fan's at the first NFL Game in Germany.
greets from Germany
Peace&love...Dai.
I watched an NFL craziest crowd chants. There was about 2 or 3 decent chants, 2 chants are just MVP.
Some team singing Country Road but that wasn't in the video for some reason. I blame the person who made the video.
USA : I believe that we will win Opponent : 😮 😂😂😂
The national songs just hit different, regardless of which country it is.
When you get time check some of the fans for Saprissa in Costa Rica, last final was crazy (in a good way) great material boss keep it up!!!
i try to explain why it's like that. I'm Italian, from Rome. Most of the teams were founded 100 or more years ago, usually by workers class associations to represent the city. It's something people felt "near them", something that represent their struggle as workers. Supporting that team is something that we pass from parent to children (once only fathers, now also mothers) so that some families support the same team since generations. It's not simply "sport", it's tradition, it's the stories your grand dad told you while you were walking to the stadium with him and your dad the first time you attended a match
“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 Shankly
The clip in france, they are all singing at unisson the national anthem for the national team... It gives me chills everytime, better than listening a singer
Hey, I am glad that you like the atmosphere from Europe.
Please when you have the time watch the derby between cologne VS Gladbach from Germany. It is incredible
You should look at the Liverpool v man city European champions League quarter final, before during and after the game
It's a bouncing mechanism like u have in card. The stadiums add build to bounce otherwise if they would not move they could break down.
I'm enjoying your videos and welcome to the world of football. May I suggest that you make a tournament reaction. Perhaps watch highlights of each game in a specific tournament you didn't know the outcome of, like a World Cup or Champions League.
Try to get footage of the Dortmund crowd inside the stadium, as well. What you saw was the march towards the stadium which is a tradition for the fans of the team and has a lot of atmosphere, but inside the stadium there is even more. It is called the yellow wall for a reason.
Also try to find the liverpool fans singing you'll never walk alone. And if you want to see something different get some footage from FC St. Pauli - their fans wave pirate flags and the team enters to hells bells. Despite it being a 2nd tier team their fans are always very passionate about their team.
A march towards the stadium in Derbys and important matches is a tradition for every german team
Just a little clarification, that match, was not in dortmund, that was in Belgium, when they played fc Bruges. I mean, having that in your city is nice, having that when you’re playing away and even in another country, that’s amazing. But yeah, the yellow wall is indeed something else too.

There is only one place a football team will break and that is at Anfield. When the crowd starts singing You Will Never Walk alone and all the other songs, there is no comparison.
all those are manufactured, Anfield on a European night mid week against the best, will be the best ever experience you can get.
The best players and managers have testified to that.
It’s football vs football because there are with American football vs European football
Plus the European vids are ok nothing too crazy :)) like some crazy stuff that I could give u as an example that this are nothing are one time at a game the fans made an earthquake of 3.5 , there’s so many more and like some crazy fans sometime go out crazy and destroy the city like cars on fire etc maybe for a loss especially and so many more
the PSG clip was at an away match against Liverpool in Anfield
theres another video outhere that compares american football atmospheres vs european football
Nice! I’m sure Europe still wins that battle but I think it’s a better comparison than US soccer fans
In Germany the clubs are owned by the fans (club members). No Investor is allowed to hold more than 50% of a club. So the fans are directly involved in descision making.
Try Liverpools anfield atmosphere is unbelievable
Just an FYI... These are the relatively tame versions. There are also scary versions where they use roman candles and it looks like the entire stadium is on fire.

I guess the biggest difference is that in the USA you don't have relegation and a soccer culture. So clubs who play very bad never relegate to a lower competention. Also, outside the USA, football (or soccer as you say) is deeply rooted in the culture of most nations. I'm a Dutch fan of my club FC Utrecht. This will never go away, even if they relegate to a lower league. But FC Utrecht is not one of the most succesful clubs in The Netherlands. All our good players are bought away by richer clubs. But if say AJAX plays in Europe, I support them because A: it's a Dutch team and B: many of those players originally came from Utrecht. And when our National team plays, the whole of The Netherlands stands behind them no matter for wich club they are playing.
Players come and go...fans are lifelong and over multiple generations from the same area

Tbh I've seen something decent even in Us soccer recently, by a European standard. LAFC ultras for example are doing pretty good, even smuggling in flares, and bringing good numbers and compactness in "Curva"
There are 10k-30k Europeans being louder than more than 100k Americans and they didn’t get the flares/pyro or the fireworks out. And if you want crazy, try the Casablanca derby or red star vs partizan

Since you checked out AC Milan, I would like seeing you react to Zlatan Ibrahimovic Impossible goals.
We are very proud of him here in Sweden. He started his career in Malmö FF(one of the chanting clubs in this video) 1999. He has been playing in numerous of the big European clubs like Ajax, juventus, Barcelona, PSG and of course AC Milan. He has even played for LA Galaxy. When he ended his career a few months ago, AC Milan gav him a terdropping farewell in a packed stadium.
Btw these are one of the "normal" crowds , the "ultras" are on another level.
the club you asked around 8:00 is Aris Thessaloniki / Greece
First time I noticed that seatle guy actually has "ultra" written on his scarf haha
It was only 1200 psg fans in a tiny corner, ch1nting from before to after the game, louder than the rest of the stadium, even tough we lost. Paris est magique
take what you want from every sport you have and bing it !!
Just for your info: these are the European football teams in this video

Don't really get how you can say the Iceland national team is unknown because they're known of that support and fans all over the world were doing that.
@@MultiJejje Oh I see... Im sorry bout that.
I didn't mean to say it is an unknown team. I was just ubable to find the logo and connect a team to it. So it's logo was unknown to me..

Again...very sorry
There.. i corrected it
The stadium is moving cause it was designed not to collapse while jumping... It avoids resonance effects
I guess the difference between Europe and the US is, that you got franchises in the US and Clubs in Europe.
Europeans are members of the club. The participate in creating it's future and also are part of this whole surronding when there is matchday. They are implemented in this event.
At the same time I feel like in the US you jusr visit the event, as if you are a customer. I guess that's why Europeans are more likely to invest time, money and passion in support of the team they like
Hey, that Teneesse versus Alabama situation wasn't bad at all! what a show.
Very similar to England v Scotland when the Scots invaded the park and took the goalposts back to Scotland with half the pitch lol.
Not a Hibs fan, but when they sing “ Sunshine over Leith” that’s a proper football anthem
Entiendo que recién estés comenzando a descubrir el fútbol. Soy argentino, aunque viva en España, y adoro lo nuestro. Pero deberías investigar a nuestros hermanos uruguayos (1º Campeón Mundial) y brasileros (5 veces Campeones Mundiales). Sobre todo éstos. He vivido también allí y es un auténtico placer verlos jugar (desde que nacen) en sus playas.

The American thing was pretty decent in fact, not as big a gap in passion imho. Of course European club ultras are going to be in a different ballpark, tradition and identity are different, it leads to stronger identification with your cub of choice. Dear Luke, have u considered/factored in the Messi effect when it comes to footballing culture in the US? I think it's gonna be huge, best regards from Spain from a Barcelona and Messi fan
Miami atmosphere is gonna be insane. Also, football fandom is skyrocketing in youth over here
Some the US chants are cringy tho, like fight and win and I believe that we will win
The US ones are very much cherry picked too, there are WAY better examples than SKC lmao
That messi thing cant contribute to anything. I rememberMiami Heat in NBA... They had good team - everyone were miami supoorters...then all of them suddenly become GSW supoorters. Many people support player, not club. Nobody vlcan be above the club.
