AMERICAN REACTS TO THE FUNNIEST CHANTS OF FRENCH ULTRAS

[@luchogonzealaise3717]

Well to explain all the songs (hard to put in a non-french context): - 51 is a brand of pastis from Marseille, it's an alcoholic beverage : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastis - Jabrane explained better than I could the chant from Bordeaux fans - Gignac played for Marseille back then and was known for gaining easily some weight, so the Big Mac chant was clearly mocking this. - Dijon fans' chant is just about alcohol and being drunk - Lyon fans' chant is a play on word explained by Jabrane in his comment again - Nantes fans are talking about Frédéric Thiriez, former head of the french professional league and despised by most football fans. He was known for his particularly extravagant mustache and looked a bit like Ned Flanders (the Simpsons character you've mentioned) - The France fans song was sung before the 2018 in Russia, hence the evocation of vodka and Gérard Depardieu was known back then for moving to Russia and being good friend with Putin. - Finally there's a lot to say about the Rennes fans' chant. It's about galette-saucisse which is a staple snack to eat around their stadium before the games, it's formed of a sausage rolled into a crepe often served with mustard or ketchup. They're also talking about Lait ribot which is a milk speciality from Brittany. Then they're talking about regional rivals. Tripes de Caen (not so far away in Normandy), Rillettes du Mans (located around 150km away from Rennes in the East), these are both culinary specialities from these cities. The Lavallois is a reference to Laval, another close city in the East of Rennes. And the Canaries is the surname of Nantes players (because of their yellow jerseys), they're actually the biggest rivals of Rennes in the last decade and there's a long history with Nantes, Rennes and historical Brittany before the two cities got seperated in different regions.

For the second sequence, you must know that Janot is the opposite goal keeper (just in front of supporter) and Ben Khalfallah a quite expensive stricker who never scores....

Sausage patty is a wrong translation... Galette saucisse refer to a rolled up sausage in a barley crêpe ! It's served hot right outside the stadium of Rennes in the Brittany region of France. It became so popular that they made a song about it, comparing it to specialties from other regions.😊

Hi, it seem i'm the only one who want to react to that vid! 😀 Guess what, i'm french! Honnestly, most of these jokes are impossible to understand if you're not french. Like when they sing "long live to the wind, long live to friday!" It's because you say "VENt" for wind in french and "VENdredi" for Friday. Perhaps, you noticed it, these songs are for many about alcool and food, when english stadium's songs are more about insults toward sexuality. A matter of culture i guess... 0k, will just explain one, cause, it's very funy. "Janot, if your nice, let's score Ben Khalfallah!" Saint Etienne and Bordeaux are to clubs with a good relationship. Their ultras are known to be friends. Janot was the Goalkeeper of Saint Etienne and Ben Khalfallah the striker of Bordeaux. But the ultras of Bordeaux despised Ben Khalfallah for he was a poor player ( well according to them, but honnestly, i don't disagree ). So they song to Janot ( as they were begging him ): "please, let him score!".
