Another part of this I think is the structure and leagues and geography. The US MLS is all franchised right? They are the top teams and they will stay there and they will make a massive catch-zone for fans. Whilst permanent moves are rare, there is a potential for teams to rise or fall in fortunes in European football, it's really local and it impacts a city or towns development. If you are local to the area, the closest big club is a major influence.

My personal favourite was the one Chelsea fans sang for Frank Lebouef. He had written in the programme notes that he loved the fans supporting him by singing "He's here, he's there, He' every F***ing where, Frank Lebouef, Frank Lebouef.", but he didn't like the bad language because youngsters were in the crowd. That day the chant was altered to "He's here, He's there, we are not supposed to swear" 🤣

"You've got to hold and give But do it at the right time You can be slow or fast But you must get to the line They'll always hit you and hurt you Defend and attack There's only one way to beat them Get 'round the back Catch me if you can 'Cause I'm the England man And what you're looking at Is the master plan We ain't no hooligans This ain't a football song Three lions on my chest I know we can't go wrong"

[@regfenster]

I think the passion in the UK regarding football and the fans piss taking etc is all to do with the larger stakes in English football league, the consequences for failure for any club are harsh here and many clubs from decades ago that were top of their game are no where to be seen today. American sports generally are not tied to a league system like here in the UK and a poor performance across the year has little or no effect moving into the following season, certainly from a financial perspective. Another difference between English and Americans is the fact that taking the piss out of each other is a cultural past time for us here in the UK, it is not in the States. Factoring in the UK general population is a bastard race of Celt/Nord/Roman and Norman decent we're quiet the warrior tribal people at heart, football allows us to belong to a certain tribe/club, the 1970's and 80's bore the brunt of this as kicking ten bells of shit out of each other after a football match was the norm and the reason we were banned throughout Europe through the 1980's due to our ability to dish out extreme violence to opposing football fans. nothing to be proud of.
