American Reacts to Top 10 Football Fans In the World

Hello! I'm an American on a quest to learn more about history, geography and the universe in general. In this video I take a first look at football (soccer) fans around the world, and I'm shocked at some of them - particularly Greece and Argentina setting the stadium on fire. No way this is legal!

This was not fire in the stands but thousands of hand held flares. They are illegal, but organized fans smuggle them inside the stadiums. You were saying about the Fire Marshal, he wouldn't dare shut anything down because there would be a full scale riot. In the US people go to see the games, in Europe and Latin America people go to participate in the games. Players of the home teams consider their fans as the "extra player on the field".

[@Ulrich.Bierwisch]

Those fireworks would be more or less everywhere in the stadiums in Europe. It's not allowed in most places and the teams have to pay a lot if it happens in their stadium. It still happens from time to time. I wouldn't consider this as top fans who do that. By the way, don't watch videos about new years eve in Germany if you are shocked by stupid use of fireworks by drunken people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OQYqRseKpsodU Germans are very serious in doing things. Even if it's about blowing up your own city, havoc, destruction and such.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers and Hammerstein Musical "Carousel". Gerry and the pacemakers were a 60's Merseybeat group who did a cover, and the song became adopted by Liverpool FC. I think this became further imbedded in the club after the Hillsborough disaster, as a memorial for the 96 who died. Borussia Dortmund and Celtic as well as lots of other clubs also adopted the song. I'm not a Liverpool fan, but I did visit Anfield as a kid. Seeing the kop stand, sing and hold their scarfs, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's almost like a religious experience.

[@octaviussludberry9016]

I'm biased, but having stood on the Kop since I was 8 in 1978, then sat in various parts of the ground, I can testify, it is a religious experience. sadly, the lack of local fans (not just with LFC) in the Premier League, has reduced the impact somewhat of match day atmosphere.

I find it interesting watching American reactions to some football celebrations. You ask if they've cleared people out of the way for the fireworks, as though there are officials involved in the 'pyrotechnics'. There are no officials behind this, no risk assessments, etc. it's just fans bringing their own flares and fireworks to the game. It always makes me sad to see American sports stadiums have to put on bands, play music on speakers and get cheerleaders to cajole supporters into doing anything. In most European countries the fans make their own entertainment and the officials just stand watching in despair hoping they don't cause too much damage.

GRANDE ROSARIO CENTRAL That's a normal Tuesday in South America

[@barriehull7076]

#9 was "Sailing" by Rod Stewart, which itself was a cover of a Sutherland Brothers written song. The Sutherland Brothers began their career in 1968 as A New Generation, having some success with the single "Smokie Blues Away" (which used a melody based on the second movement of Dvořák's New World Symphony), backed with "She's a Soldier Boy" on Spark. Subsequently with the Sutherland Brothers Band (featuring bassist Kim Ludman[4] and drummer Neil Hopwood), they won a new recording contract with Island Records and put out an album in 1972. Their first single as the Sutherland Brothers Band was under this contract, and was a minor hit, "The Pie", in January 1972. Their follow-up single was "Sailing", which had much radio play but was commercially unsuccessful (it was later covered by Rod Stewart).[3]

Hey SoGal, you need to know that those "Pyro-Blinker-and smoke stuff" is illegal in europe as well. Always when those things happens the clubs get heavy fines (german POV). Everyone is scanned before going into stadium. So the fans break into the stadium a few days before the game to hide the pyrotechnics. 🙋🏼‍♂️

Liverpool, said to be the ones who started the singing culture among football fans. I don't know if that's true, but here is a video from 1964, where Panorama (BBC) visited Liverpool to take a look at their singing crowds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnHhJSGqZ2Fr6M

[@decb]

The 1959 FA Cup final was the first time a song from popular culture was (knowingly) sung at a football match. Forest fans singing the theme tune of The Adventures of Robin Hood (Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen, etc)

[@thenorseprodigy7466]

"You'll never walk alone" is the anthem of Liverpool but it is also sung by Dortmund and Celtic fan in almost every game

[@colindouglas7769]

The Liverpool song, "You'll Never Walk Alone" is from the Rogers & Hammerstein Broadway musical, Carousel. Liverpool fans have been singing this one for decades and its a spine-tingling experience to hear 50,000 voices singing it at Anfield (Liverpool's stadium). In the 1960s, Liverpool fans also used to sing all the hit songs by The Beatles and other bands of the Mersey Beat. Supporters of Glasgow Celtic and Borussia Dortmund also sing "You'll Never Walk Alone", ironically to the same Gerry Marsden soundtrack. By the way, that fire festival you talk about in the video may be the Burning of the Clavie in Burghead, a small town near Elgin in the northeast of Scotland. The Clavie is a burning barrel of tar which is carried shoulder-high through the streets of Burghead by a selected man called the King of the Clavie. Only a native of Burghead can be the King. It's a Scottish New Year celebration unique to Burghead which dates back to Pagan times before the Julian calendar was reformed. It actually takes place on the 11th January to coincide with the old Scottish New Year. There are other similar Pagan New Year celebrations which occur in some Scottish country towns where selected members of the town parade through the streets ahead of the procession, swinging flaming bales of sticks and straw called a flambeau around their head. Judging by your reaction to the flares at the football grounds, it would probably freak you out, but it is relatively safe. Their purpose is to ward off evil spirits and to prepare for a fruitful year ahead.

Welcome to Health & Safety standards around the world. Next up, the almost complete lack of hearing protection in the US while being anal about pyrotechnics....

[@chickenindabox3169]

to be fair, these flares and fireworks are banned just like they'd be in the US but people smuggle them inside, so it's not really the safety standards that's the issue just that football fans, especially ultras, reaaaaally love their flashy lights :D

[@juangutierrez4644]

hi i'm from rosario.. argentina and a rosario central's fan.. proud to be the number 1 there :) to give you some context that's the welcome to the team in the day of the derby of the city.. rosario central vs newell's old boys (club where messi started to play).. the rivalry here is something that a lot of people can't understand.. the air gets thicker and thicker since one week before the game.. and to answer your question.. yes the fireworks and flares are dangerous.. they make some space between the fireworks and the people but not enough at all.. in argentina we already had a big tragedy due to flares inside a night club but it's part of our culture i guess.. even yet i guess the use of flares and fireworks is decreasing

We don't set the stadium on fire , the things we light up are used by Fishermen to notify coast if they are deep at sea fishing and had some problems and cant get back out. Yes the smoke is a bit annoying sometimes , but in like 2 minutes the atmosphere clears up . PAOK fan here , from Greece . Was actually inside the stadium that day. And for every one of those fans throw in the stadium the team has to pay 5k euros.
