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.

You guys should stop saying "European" football, it's loved everywhere. There are some really crazy fans outside of Europe.

@@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.

[@kingkoopa115]

@@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.

[@MyHaytem]

@@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?

[@Adi-kf6bq]

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

[@swenglishdude1527]

European architecture

[@Ikller-xh7qq]

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...

[@AurelAvramescu]

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.

[@423vol4]

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

[@ograndeirmao9735]

Verdade. No Brasil, por exemplo, os times mais tradicionais têm 100 anos ou mais.

[@101tidi]

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

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.

[@rana1561]

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.

[@emilwillforss6160]

Of course they have no passion for their club. The system is closed, so the club might leave at any moment.

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.

[@octavianpopescu4776]

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.

[@BuckeyeMerc92]

That blocked fg still haunts my dreams. Along with the shank against Georgia

[@cmvp8422]

Oh didn´t expect that but I guess knowing some of the problemsa of the ultras I guess they didnt want that to happen.

[@justnadaaa8434]

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

[@asjaosaline5987]

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.

[@zumbie]

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.

[@frankieshankly5368]

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)

[@organicallypure1737]

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 🤩

[@bobmcbob8732]

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

[@AllLivezmatter]

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.

[@HankD13]

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.

[@colin1656]

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.

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

I'm a Palmeiras (Brazil) fan, so I might be biased, but our fans create some of the best football atmospheres out there lol 😅 Keep up the good work, brother!

[@karlf.karlsen4365]

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.

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.

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 ?

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.

7:25 Well next year there is going to be the European Cup in Germany, and as you can see from the first 3 clips they know how to make noise 😂

It's about the levels of passion. I've heard a crowd of 32,000 at Elland Road be louder and more passionate than 80,000 england fans at (old) Wembley Stadium. Football is our only chance to be tribal these days. Our club is our clan, we wear the colours, we sing the war songs, then our warriors do battle on the field for the tribes honor

[@fabionascimento1973]

You really need to watch the ultras from both Casablanca teams, in Morocco...and also River, Boca, San Lorenzo, and other argentinian teams.

First time I noticed that seatle guy actually has "ultra" written on his scarf haha

[@mirrrie]

I remember when Feyenoord was playing Inter in the quarter finals and there where only 6000 supporters but 5km from the stadium you could still hear "Hand in Hand" 😁

[@chriswilkinson8908]

You need ultras, people who will form passionate groups that go to every game. Football is a way of life for majority of these people. They literally live for the weekends, everything else is secondary.

Ajax, one of the clubs in Europe with the biggest history. Also one of the biggest clubs in Europe, but also fanwise.

That's the first "reaction video" of USA vs EU football fans where the host is just like, yeah-nah, ain't gonna be a fair fight. Made my day. Keep it up, this is the actual reaction, not like every other youtuber "Oh, I have never seen videos of EU fans before, wow, so amazing"

[@levitonin7345]

Hey, that Teneesse versus Alabama situation wasn't bad at all! what a show.

[@billyleadbitter5661]

Very similar to England v Scotland when the Scots invaded the park and took the goalposts back to Scotland with half the pitch lol.

[@streaky81]

5:42 - damn, I'd be looking for the nearest exit. Sucks to be an engineer and know what's going on there..

[@lemastre]

Yeah, American football is like the Belgian league when it comes to supporters. I think its great :D There is a wholesomeness to it.

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]

In what way are they crazier?

[@Sebas07756]

@@schtreg9140 no actually. Look at the celebrations in Buenos Aires after Argentina won the World Cup. No European country would come close

[@schtreg9140]

@@Sebas07756 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
