American reacts to TOP 10 LOUDEST ULTRAS IN THE WORLD (part 2)

[@SantaMuerte1813]

On being a player on the field during such matches: I don't know how it is in american sports, but for Football it is custom for the teams to switch sides in the second half of the game. So if you faced the ultras in the first half, they're right behind you in the second half. This can get frightening really fast as ultras are known to sometimes throw pyrotechnics at the opposing team.

[@pacomegiraudeau1256]

That’s why, when building a new stadium, there are studies to make it so the stadium doesn’t enter in resonance as people jump in rythme.

You do not think they tried that in Europe? Well not the army part but proper riot police with water cannons and all that good stuff. But they learned overtime that is way better to learn to deescalate the situation when u can.

[@nikolaparvanov7113]

Welcome to European football, my american friend. Here fans are going crazy about that holy sport. For some of us our team/club is some thing of a religion. And every game especialy on enemy stadium MUST be a show. You see it as a riot or a revolution, we see it as a way to expression our loyalty, respect and support to our team. Respect for all the ultras around Europe and the other parts of the world!

[@alexia2189]

It is so funny seeing you shocked about all this. My father was a professional football player and this was the norm for me. I also lived next to a big stadium and football watching was like my weekend activity. :))))

[@jbird4478]

If you live nearby one of those stadiums sometimes it sound like there's an army approaching in the distance, until you realize there's a soccer game going on. It's not only loud. It can sound quite intimidating.

the noise is the important thing, it intimidates the away players and motivates the home players

[@ZakhadWOW]

the very best ultra groups are more valuable in revving up the rest of the home CROWD, because then any effect on the players is massively magnified when they here the massive support from entire stadium.

[@JvWet]

Now you know why our stadiums can't be built on the cheap, and why there are sometimes accidents of stands collapsing.

Thank you so much. Was feeling rather down this morning . Your reaction really cheered me up, was crying with laughter 🤣

[@Isleofskye]

I enter my 8th decade, next May, and we thought we would give you a nice, gentle introduction to Football fans,here in Europe but it's the same in South America and to an extent Africa and Asia, as well. . Once again, thanks for not turning the volume down..:) ENJOY:)

[@shhhh4637]

The Olympiacos one, they were singing "Legend, wherever you go I will be there to sing for you" (the fans usually call this7 team "Legend")

[@annarockabilly6001]

As a german I think that's absolutley beautiful ❤ You'll never walk alone ⚽️

[@vcrossCelticfc]

As a Celtic fan I love it too, but they started using it to control the crowd, when the fans start singing generational songs, they start playing it too calm the fans down. Its annoying, once is enough.

[@lukassch.2349]

And then American people say that American Fabs are was louder and better. Yes, may be they are Sometimes louder, but everyone ist just shouting noices. In Europe they are actually have "Lyrics" and have an actuall atmosphere and are not here just for the Show

[@JvWet]

Loved your jump scarce during the chant of Red Star (Belgrade, Serbia). Like I said in the Part 1 comments, Football is War, and this is a nice example of a Football / War Chant😁

[@martaladavac4866]

Your reactions are soooo funny. Come to Europe and watch any of these teams play. Be a part of any of these ultras/fans rooting for their club. BTW, these were mostly football clubs.

[@aps01]

Ryan just a funny info.the 2 last teams you heard(olympiakos and red star belgrade) are brother teams so the loudness/crazyness runs in their blood 😆

[@Sylwia220394]

Those are flares and petards, not gun shots and fire. Of course they can cause harm and they are forbidden at stadiums, but they always get smuggled in. However if used with care they are harmless.

[@ZakhadWOW]

OH actual Petards? I didnt know they still existed.. But at least you can point to them and explain that is where the expression came form.. being f**ked over/blasted into orbit/oblivion by one.

[@gregorybiestek3431]

Good thing they are in Europe, in the USA the police would use automatic assault weapons, kill dozens, then start to ask questions if they were real or just flares & petards.

I've actually been to a game in Turkey it was bursa v besiktas in bursa.there were only 3000 fans but sounded like 300,000.it was loud and they had flares,it's the best football game I've been too in my 55 years on this planet.

[@marcusfranconium3392]

Many european stadiums started to be desinged to enhance the sound of the public to be as intimidating as possible.

[@milosstefanovic6603]

Can you imagine when you score a goal for the lead and you run towards the fans?

[@DaweSlayer]

Hearing that shots to all of that, as an American, has to be terrifying :)

[@gregorybiestek3431]

Not really, a lot of Americans would be pulling out their real guns and shooting randomly into the crowd from which the noise came, then check later if they were real shots or just noise.

[@bakersmileyface]

I always forget that perspective. In my country, if you hear a loud bang then you just assume it's a firework. The idea that it might be a gunshot either doesn't cross your mind or is an afterthought that you put in the back of your mind.

[@bcool9272]

It all depends where the sound was recorded. Without a measuring on the field, the fact that the videos are noisy doesn't mean those are the noisiest fans.

[@svenstopke415]

Sometimes ultras go completly crazy! Even at smaller regional events, it gets extremly loud and energetic and there are a lot of curse words and insults towards the other team and their fans. Some groups are notorious for their behaviour, so sometimes home and guests fans are seperated by legions of police officers in full riot gear and the outside of the stadium is lined with troop transports. But most of the time its energetic but peacefull and after games fans often join for beer. Being with the ultras in one block is an experience of itself! What counts is that everybody has fun! And nobody gets hurt in aby way and i think fireworks are problematic.

[@gregorybiestek3431]

The ultras better not come to the USA in 2026, the police here do not use riot gear and water cannons, they use full body armor, automatic assault weapons, and real cannons. If ultras tried to battle our security in the US quite a number of them would go home in body bags.

[@thierryf67]

the bang you hear is not gunshots... but big firecracker or fireworks.

[@deadshot9657]

You guys should watch Naples (literally the city) celebrations 😂

[@ZakhadWOW]

as someone who was RIGHT THERE IN THE STADIUM on the final day of the 1990 Championship season, I can promise you so many people even form big soccer cultures cant conveive of what it is like. Closest thing I can imagine is when Marseille was winning theirs - the other great Meditteranean port city wher the working class is treated like total crap. I also found it hilariously coincidental that Olympigue Marselle and SSC Napoli both share the same Azure color ( not actually *blue* - that color is used by Inter, Genoa, Sampdoria, Verona) And Lazio uses wha thte Italians call "celeste" aka Heavenly Blue.

[@1983simi]

I hadn't seen you come up on my feed for a while - I cant have ALL 127 subscribed channels on all notifications.. I'd be drowning in them! LOL But so glad to see you show up again -- I had forgotten how dreamy your eyes are (blush). BUt as far as Ultras go, ANY group of sports-addled youth can scream loudly etc, but how effective are they at elevating the rest of the home crowd? I know a couple in Italy are amazing in *that* regard, as opposed to just volume [see Napoli ultras - they actually have BOTH curved ends of stadium in different Ultras groups). And then there are the massive unapologetic racists of the InterMilan Ultras -- a massive shame for all of Italy.

As a Bulgarian I can confirm, it can get … umm … interesting on those events. Especially on football (soccer in the USA) ones as this sport is pretty much a religion in Europe and South America. But hey, it’s all part of the game and it’s fun 😀 And yes, we can be pretty chaotic and loud if we want to.

Loved your reaction to the ultras. It was hilarious how you would jump and the shock on your face. There is a video called Ultras our way of life 10,000 subscriber special I would love to see what you would make of this as it shows all sides to being an ultra. I’m English but the Greek Ultras are amazing with all their sports and also I like Ajax ultras in Amsterdam they are great to watch. The ultras make those large banners and use flares, smoke bombs and fireworks. The passion for football clubs is deep rooted and is a generational thing. You should see what it is like at a derby anywhere in Europe it’s really intense. There is a USA VS EUROPE BASKETBALL and most of the European fans they show are Greek.👍

[@pipeddotvideoisbetter]

The whole point about being loud here is to support your home and intimidate the opposing team (and also, pressure the refs a bit to call in your favor). In Europe, sports is usually much more competitive than in the USA, and teams are more important than the league itself. So you find teams like Olympiacos, BJK, etc with multiple sports divisions and usually people grow up and die as fans of the same club. Gate 7, 13, etc. btw are the gates/entrances to the stadium where you'd (at least historically) find the hardcore fans, so Olympiacos ultras are known as Gate 7 due to... well. Self-explanatory. Fan culture does go overboard though sometimes to the point that I know for heated matches (like any big Athens clubs' games), away fans are not allowed to attend due to past violence between fan groups. Side note, in the previous video, PAOK's chant actually was (roughly) saying that "we'll bring our boys to Athens in spades, and strike fear in them; we'll beat them up in Syntagma (Athens) and Pasalimani (Piraeus)" (Athens&Piraeus having the big 3, AEK + Panathinaikos + Olympiacos, that PAOK hates). :) Still, way better experiences than I've ever had in the States. Home territory *should* be a place where the opponents feel dread, and where the home team feels empowered and loved. Ultras just are a rather extreme expression of that.

[@rykmat2542]

Muhehe. European football stadiums are kind of fortresses. They are split into sectors without any possibility to pass between them. They are fireproof and they can withstand the strongest earthquake although in most of Europe wasn't been any earthquake for thousands of years, because when tens of thousands of idiots start jumping synchronously ait just worse than any known earthquake. But you didn't see anything because the worst ultras are not allowed to entry stadiums. Each great football match means lot of street vandalism, fights with police and between enemy ultras etc.

[@patrickcromie7095]

Hi Ryan, I’ve just subscribed to your channel lately and i do like your content but i do have point out one thing. You talk about europeans as if they are somehow similar in terms of their culture, language and way of life. That could not be further from the truth. Putting the British, French and Spaniards in the same group for instance is like putting Black Lives Matter in bed with the kkk. Thousands of years of wars between European countries has made us realise we have to live together as best we can but we are not the same as each other by a long way. Peace my friend and keep up the good work. Regards Patrick from England

Okay, big difference. The testosterone levels rage on mass. In Australia and the USA, you bring the whole family. That makes a big difference. If you bring the whole family, men don't behave like this. Even in Aussie Rules football, where the game is really quite dangerous, the crowd is really loud and excited. Yet it sounds really different. Whole families are there. I think that's the major difference. Football was like this 50 years ago in Australia. The men would go out, get drunk, let their testosterone go crazy, go home, and more like go home and bash and rape the wive and start smashing up the house. Some still do. They are still looking at this to make the sport more family friendly, you it's for to go crazy like then, and then after, what happens then???....

The families go to this games but the Ultra's are placed on the left and the right side of the stadium...behind the goals. The rest is for the families. I think they also put some net in there to prevent things being thrown but I am not sure about that 100% but I think you can see it in the videos..

[@baskoning9896]

Most of these are just loud, some fireworks, a firecracker now and then. This is just the top of the iceberg. They can become very rioty. In the yugoslavian civil war they recruited from ultras, and after the war, they where ehm.. pretty radicalized against teams of the opposing side. We sometimes needed hundreds of police with horses and big cars with water cannons to guide opposing teams away from each other after a match. Now teams are fined or even disqualified if their supporters misbehave, and the misbehaving supporters get thrown in jail for a few days and they have to pay fines, and are excluded from the stadium for life. That cooled a lot of supporters teams down. At least in our country.
