Nice banner, although little bit ironic Legia has a some neo-nazis and also some merchandise has Nazi symbols.

[@pitdul]

@@Santos043 Neo-Nazism in Poland existed in the 1990s and stemmed from sheer ignorance of what it really was. Nowadays it is such a small margin that, in order to exaggerate the problem, one Polish left-wing TV station itself organised a festival of neo-Nazi music. In a documentary it produced, it had to employ actors pretending to be neo-Nazis. It is now common knowledge that Nazism is straightforwardly linked to international socialism and communism. The political programme of the famous Austrian watercolourist described in his book is a model for the ideological basis of the European Union. If skinhead organisations in Poland are already radicalising, they are doing so against communism and precisely Nazism. The bigger problem in Poland is Antifa, which is eating its own tail. The way Antifa operates is pure fascism and Nazism. The communists and international socialists do not like Polish patriotism. Their ideal is a Europe without states and nations. That is why the problem of Nazism in Poland is currently being exaggerated, when in fact it does not exist. Coming back to the Celtic crosses, they are used by football fans, but they are not really indicative of neo-Nazism. It is just fan folklore of people who don't like both communism and international socialism equal to Nazism. Political ideas nowadays have been so falsified that simple people unfamiliar with the subject are very easily manipulated.

[@statlifter]

@@Maximus439 No. There is a reason Football is the biggest sport on the planet. In Europe, Asia, Africa and South America it is close to a religious cult at times. In the 90s and 00s when teams that were historical rivals clashed in a match fans of said teams would take it to the streets to riot and fight. People dies on daily basis after football matches. This has of course been toned down bu governments over the last 20 years. But it still occasionally happens. And its not just one country, That happened in UK (famously cut short by Margaret Thatcher) in Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Turkey, Marocco, Egypt, Sweden, Brasil, Argentina, Chile and many more. Its because for a football fan, their team doesn't just represent themselves or the players. It represent the cities hondred or thousands of years of history (Especially in Places like London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Athens, Moscow, Madrit, Rome), it also represents the people of that region, their distinct culture and heritage and when the team plays a international tournament their country. Why is that the case? Because teams here have HISTORY and not just 50-70 years of history 100-200 years of history. The average age of a team in Premier League is 137 years and the oldest team this season was Nottingam Forest founded 158 years age and the youngest was Leeds United founded just over a century ago. On the contrary the oldest soccer team in the US is Milwaukee Wave founded 39 years ago. Thats less than some football fans in Europe watched their team for. In the NFL on average a team is 68 years old and the Exception to this rule is the Arizona Cardinals that were founded 125 years ago. Also for the record. Yes Soccer is business in contrast to European football. Why do you think in every top League in the USA the teams that play there are there forever? For example there will always be the same 30 teams in the NBA and the same 32 teams in the NFL? Because having rotation would make giant contracts for superstars impossible if they were to implement the relegation system. The teams that were relegated would not have enough money to support giant contracts and the teams promoted would not have enough money to give out giant contracts. Its all about money. Keeping the same teams makes finances stable. But this approach is only visible in American pro leagues. Example in Premier League a team like Man UTD, if they play like shit (example of tanking in NBA) the last two spots each season get relegated to a lower league, If Man UTD were to somehow be bad enough to get one of those spots, well sorry not sorry relegation and we don't give a fuck you are one of the most important teams in history of the league. Thats called passion and opportunities for small markets not buissnes, as you could imagine loosing a team like that for the pros is not good for business

Warsaw Uprising (August 1 - October 3, 1944) - an armed uprising against the German troops occupying Warsaw, organized by the Home Army as part of Operation "Burza", combined with the disclosure and official activity of the highest structures of the Polish state underground . The largest military operation of the Home Army. How the Germans mock the Warsaw Uprising 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoSlnpKBr8ZpjpI

Here in EU , we support our team with honor and pride . Doesn't matter if we win or not , we will always be at the stadium chanting and making a good atmosphere . There are a lot of countries with passionate fans when you are going to a match there YOU are the show , but Greece fans take it to another level . There is no country that can come even close to them the atmosphere they create is unreal . Im speaking about the so called ULTRAS , as Original 21 ( AEK ATHENS ) , Gate 4 ( PAOK ) , Gate 13 ( PANATHINAIKOS ) and lets not forget Gate 7 ( OLYMPIACOS ) and more ... There is a video on KZbin called "Are These The Most Intimidating Fans In Football?" , i recommend you should watch it :)

[@svenvdv2880]

Bro my club (ajax) has been put in a europe league group with brighton aek and marseille. Both marseille and aek ultra’s are some of the craziest in europe. And those 2 clubs are friends + AEK and ajax have beef they threw molotovs and fireworks in 2018. I live in Amsterdam I think the home games will be world war 3

[@jasonjuliet4786]

In Europe and other parts of the world sports has a almost gladiatorial feel about it and how the crowd gets behind a team ❤

[@TheLunGun]

Come to Warsaw and we will go to the Legia match. You will see how fans support their beloved club

[@cieslik7564]

[@pansen840]

Its about your city and the club. You are very proud of it. Club is family. thats why in europe it is so passionate

[@bop4605]

You should react to the funniest ENGLISH football chants. Some of them are absolutely outrageous but amazing at the same time lol

[@Las_des_as_44600]

In Europe, football is a religion for many people. It brings a lot of people together but it's not always a good understanding between the different supporters/ultras. Hello from France (supporter of Olympique de Marseille) forever the first 🔵⚪🏆

[@nodul5387]

6:14 day they were playing, in poland in 1944 happened event called W hour which started rising of warsaw

[@glev4187]

8:00 this is toumpa stadium, local opponents used to say that in order to become a man you have to take a corner in this stadium jokes aside during the 80s greek football was wild. Fans would yeet glass bottles during the match and beat each other up on a regular basis. Older fans still miss those days

[@mattsmith5421]

Its not because everyone believes their team is the best, its because they believe its their team.

[@robertreuss2414]

Galatasaray Istanbul, Turkey clocked the loudest at 131.76 decibel, enough to damage your ears. Is considered the loudest stadium in the world (yet only fits 52,652 spectators). Greetings from a FC Bayern fan!

[@garybxl]

You should watch the video in the Red Star Belgrade tunnel, you can feel what players are feeling before to enter on the pitch.

[@PernillaArtistic]

This is why the audience members are called Supporters and Not Fans!!

[@peterkelly9675]

Gabos! Love the videos man. The Leeds one is only the away fans mate. I live close to Leeds so my home town club Middlesbrough have a bit of a rivalry with them. We hate Leeds but they’re fans are outstanding

[@GabosTV-17]

Appreciate that. Naw the rivalry you guys have with other clubs can’t be rivaled. It looks like war.

[@ironmaskdj]

at 08:07 you literally made me laugh like an idiot. "But this is armageddon"😁😁😁😁 you won everrything!

[@NaveWarp]

We don't necessarily think our players are the best. I support a team that often have to fight to not be relegated to a lower division but at every home match, the stadium is filled and we support them with all our hearts because we know we can make the difference, we know that our players won't play better if we don't support them. So we sing, we support we push them to give the best of themselves, we win with them and we lose with them. That's why supporters are often called the 12th man

[@K4M1K473]

It is not the echo from their chants you hear in the beginning, its them singing to another stand and they respond back singing the same

[@gandalf_thegrey]

4:35 Bro, 99% of football fans know full well that they arent supporting the best team and that you wont win every game. By my personal experience i can say full well: We suck. But its not about that. You dont choose a club, it gets introduced to you. You take pride in the colours of your kit. And every single team that has any form of fans (like a handful are enough) has its own songs - which are partially several decades old and were sung by your granddad when he was young. Its pride, its heritage, its culture. My club stands exactly for the values the people here grew up with. In the past we made a lot of money producing steel. Hard work, always getting back up, blood sweat and tears are things we expect. We dont expect the best, the fanciest, the mind-blowing. We expect an honest day of work for their (tbf very handsome) salary.

[@MGMatthew]

13:03 btw Dynamo Dresden are currently in the 3. Liga, equivalent to the league **below the G-League** in the NBA (which i am quite sure doesn't exist lol)

thank you for puting a clip of The Maniacs - from a Zeljeznicar fan

[@lichkinggamer5708]

Unfortunately as an English fan, we can’t have it the same as most of Europe because we have so many rules

[@gandalf_thegrey]

6:38 That cut is ... interesting. I didnt thought i would start laughing seconds after the Polish Uprising banner, but here we are. The fact that they already talk about the fine they get for doing this is hilarious.

[@imusat]

12:15 that's not people coming together for one country; that's a group of people coming together for one football club! You don't get how insane football fans really are compared to fans of any sport :D

[@Celtic_Hibernian_Ukstreets]

Not only in Football, they’re equally passionate when it comes to basketball games. You should react to one of them too!

No matter how cool it looks, most of the ultra fans. Is so devoted that they come to support and fight with other teams fans.

[@Dirkxke]

I am not a soccer fan, but many of my friends and coworkers are. It's not only cheering on their team, it's almost a religion. A year back I went to a German soccer game with some guys from work, you can feel the entire concrete stands flex and move under all those people jumping in rhythm. It's insane.

[@theloonatic8076]

No way they put Leeds in lets goo

[@dimitravandaraki3452]

Do part 2 with Dortmund Olympiacos Panathinaikos and Aris. I am from Greece, your video is amazing and I think that you should add these teams too

[@Daniel-nt5gh]

You need to be aware that soccer has been used as a dog whistle for fascism in Europe. So if some of these displays of chantings and gestures look to you kind of fascist is because they are.

[@gutrum_vagner]

And that's a good thing

[@lilbullet158]

You have to remember it's Random, Not choreographed; These football chants start with only One person's voice and it spreads through the crowd like an instant Sound Virus... I've known my brother to start singing football chants on the terraces and within 30 seconds 'Thousands' of people are ALL singing the same chant...

[@Gott.Streitet]

5:05 they chant the Song "Hey Pipi Langstrumpf" a Book written by the Sweedish writer Astrit Lindgren and was later adaptes as a Film where the Into begann with "Hey Pipi Langstrumpf..." Also I grew up with it so it and many kids back then too here is the Song kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJPTd2B8jJiVm9k

[@spazz.4964]

This is Europe and South America , since young it gets passed on from family members to have that passion and energy that you were born with

[@MikkoTikkanen]

It is not a matter of whos team is the best. You don't choose that either. You grow into a team, whatever your family, your grandparents etc. root for, you root for since you have been living that life from a toddler. And from there on, it is a matter of generational pride.

[@tanspar1173]

About french Marseilles club (OM), it is not the chants echoing on the opposite part of the stadium but actually the second half of the club supporters sing the other half of the song Gives me chill

[@giorgiograsso853]

We don't think we have the best team, it's pure passion and dedication to our local teams

[@hazepositiv5207]

back in times we fought battles like that, now we are just focused on sports:)

6:07 The Warzaw Uprising was an Operation during the End of the War in 1944 when the Soviets where close by and We decidet to attack the Germans many had falsly belived the Soviet would help but they didn´t help to fight off the Germany and waited, in the time they waited the Wehrmacht had killed anyone who would count for them as A Partisan and there where many Children

[@paulclarke4776]

When you said its like you can hear the echo... It's 1 side of the stadium singing to the other side... 🎉🎉🎉

Football is something more than the simple game. It's a religion, culture, life.
