These are no big historic moments, these shows a normal football weekend.

[@musculusiv4172]

Probably not a historic moment but the big escalations usually involve some kind of rivalry

[@klaus2913]

@@musculusiv4172 Indeed, people need to know the history between cities, because it is a spiderweb of historical moments that created tribalism between different cities. As an example in my country. The cities of Ghent and Antwerp were Republics for a time which created enormous tensions between them more than 800 years ago. To this day a lot of people between these cities have a certain "hate" for that city saying they are arrogant, not to be trusted and so on. Antwerp has a saying for example that they are a real city, while the rest is just a parking, which is something that has a heavy connection with historical events of the past. Most people are not aware of this and just take over what their parents say to them.

I'm a 50 year old Italian and I'm been an Ultras in the past. You cannot describe the feeling. You feel part of the game because you ARE part of the game. To us, it is not sport, it is Honor, religion, a way of life. Our team, colors, logos, it's part of ourselves.

[@lammmpre]

The moments you watched are not big historic ones, at least not that i know. However, some of the clips are probably from derby games, wich are matches played between historic rivals. There are always different reasons for these rivalries, but most often they have developed because of historical, geographical, religious, cultural or sosioeconomical differences between the opposing fan groups. You should look more into this to get an understanding of the cultural significance of football.

[@JoseNelisParham]

I was at the scene under the bridge at 4:08 it was an amazing thing to participate in! We Ajax fans call it an entrada where we gather in mass before an important match (I think this one was for the Europa League match vs Schalke back in 2017) and sing and chat and set off fireworks. Ultra's are a mixed bag though, nowdays they create 90% of the atmosphere in the stadiums with singing/chanting and tifo's(big banners and flares). On the other side they have an element that is just there for the violence. We can't live with them and we can't live without them let's say. 90% of the hooliganism shown is not down to historic events but just down to emotions, rivalries and timing.... But don't let this narrative carry you away and think this is a weekly happening, it's not. Nowdays it's rare for big incidents to happen, and with most clubs you would be 'lucky' if these big incidents of violence in and around the stadium happen at all.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

Same here in the UK, violence at games declined in the early 90's it does still happen but on a small scale. Now it's mainly fans at games similar to yourselves.

[@FernadodelaRoja]

very good scene, greets from east germany

[@maarius030]

Btw here in Germany we have the 50+1 rule which means at least 51% of the Club belong to the Fans. Its a rule in all of Germany so no random billionaire can just buy the whole Club and can do whatever he want. As a club member (everyone can become a Club member) you can literally Gore who will become the president, you can become the Club president yourself etc.. Just some months ago my Club Hertha bsc became the first Bundesliga Club (Bundesliga = 1st League in Germany and top 4 League in the World) to have an ex ultra as the Club president. The guy was literally the “capo” (the guy who stands in front of the crowd with the megaphone and starts the chants) some years ago and now is our president. The president before was some shady billionaire and let pur Club to probably the worst 3 years in the Club history so the fans took their Club back. Sadly for example in the English Premier League Clubs are getting commercialized more and more (in other countries aswell) but im really really Glad Here in Germany the Fans are still a real part of football and not just random faceless observers

[@charlestruppi7793]

I’m from Italy and you have to remember that the country has been unified for about 150 years. Before then, the country was a bunch of independent city states and regions that were at war, or allied with foreign invaders to rival regions for over 1000 years. So when Roma plays Milan or Napoli plays Juventus, there is so much more at stake the a sport match. It’s like that all around Europe as they have been at war with each other since 1000 BC and those “cultural moments” as you correctly call them have permeated deep into the psyche of these local people.

[@mikrosom]

"Historical moments" look no further than Dinamo - Crvena Zvezda 1990. game. Huge violent riots between fans which will be soon after on opposite sides of Balkan war. If you read up on it, you'll see future war criminals involved etc. Most famous scene is Boban hiting the police officer in the head with a flying knee (Boban was a huge star, and he is currently FIFA vice president)

In case you didn't notice, ultras are basically hooligans but evolved

[@vitoravila9908]

Some ultras are hooligans, not all of them…many are only about the party, support, the ambience…

[@draganmarkovic491]

Not really, it kind of depends on a country. Ultras is more of a way of supporting your team, with the flares, choreographies, flags, non stop singing and chanting. So you can be an ultras without fighting, even part of ultra group but in some, probably most countries the way to gain respect and rise through the ranks in the ultras group is to "prove" yourself, and that involves being ready to fight along with being at the games all the time, especially away games, being brave is very important and being good at fighting is a plus, but then again that also varies from country to country...

[@Andrew-px9fj]

No, ultras and holigans are not the same. Holigans are cringe and a disgrace to football when they resort to violence.

[@moventofly]

In Europe not every supporters are like that but the fact is that football is more than just a game. Football is a cultural thing and in some cases it can feel like war, with deep historic rivalry. It's a bit complicated to explain so I'll take a general example : - let's take a random city, 500 years ago this city fights again a neighbor city. - those 2 cities were rivals and along the centuries this rivarly never really ended - in the 20th century football became popular and those 2 cities got their teams - the teams became a strong community with most of people of those cities involved in everything related to their teams - for the hardest fans, the team became their life, they met their friends, their wifes or husbands, and everything else through the love for their team - the hardest fans become like warriors defending their culture, their team, their family and friends - when their is a match between those 2 rival teams, with all the historic background, the people hardly involved etc... every game can become a battle, on the field and outside the field - in worst cases you need to have the police to avoid big battles, and in other cases some fans got killed (during the battle, or later from gunshots or stabbed) Again Europeans are not all hard fans like that, but most of European countries have those ultras (England, Italy, Germany, Serbia, Turkey, etc...). And for most of the Europeans, football represents a lot more than sport.

[@lennartvers1767]

Ultra's in most European countries do not have corrupt governments. It is just about people loving their club and not so much liking the opponent.

[@donegal7]

Just to clarify as well. Here in England, we obviously love our football. Our fanbases would get absolutely blown away by these Balkan/Eastern European fanbases/ultras. They are that passionate in what they do. Even Marseille fans or Koln fans would be blown away by these fans. Even in the 80s when England had a huge scale of football hooligan violence between firms of different clubs, these ultras would still destroy those firms. English fanbases or Central European fanbases shouldn't even bother trying to call themselves ultras, bar a select few in central europe

[@liammc433]

The English hooligans of the 70s and 80s were THE hooligans at that time. The Eastern European Ultras were inspired by those English hooligans, even sown to the way they dress with all the designer gear. The violence got stamped out of English football after Heysel with hooligans getting lifetime bans from stadiums and travel abroad on match days, the creation of the PL and the law to have fully seated stadiums.

[@Artiz...]

@@liammc433 Exactly Liam... the hype around so called 'Ultras' is and was mostly juvenile! Worse still the parasitic infiltration of facist/racist extremism was/is endemic regarding the weak minded and absolutely nothing to do with football... the game itself becomes incidental to base tribal instincts! It quickly spread across Europe beginning in the UK in the 70's and still plagues football across the world today! Conversely, it's also a 'Double Edged Sword' though... the experience of running street battles and 'rioting' through the 'Elephant & Castle' (South London) with thousands of other teenage lunatics in the late 70's still hasn't faded from my own memories! Oops! "Funny old game innit"!

[@donegal7]

@@liammc433 Tbf, yeah, the firms like millwall and chelsea were pretty fucked up at that time. But i still feel like these ultras are the kind that literally bring machetes to games and stuff; in other words, they don't give a fuck, they will literally kill anyone. I also feel like the difference lies in the fact that these ultras LOVE football, because on the whole its pretty much all they've got going on for them in these countries; however, most former hooligans that I looked up on in the past said they obviously love football etc, but the main reason they went was just to fight other firms. That to me is why these kind of ultras are the most passionate.

[@liammc433]

Nah, you must be very young if you think that. What is it exactly you think these eastern European ultras have that the English hooligans never had in the 70's and 80's? Pretty fireworks? Don't forget, only England has ever had clubs banned from European football. Liverpool fans actually killed 39 Juventus fans in the 80s.... I agree that today these Eastern European fans are very impressive with their carnival atmosphere with all their fireworks and stuff, but they got nothing on the proper hooligans of the 70's and 80's of which these Eastern Europeana look up to.

[@donegal7]

@@liammc433 In fairness though, the reason why these clubs have never been banned from European football is because they can't get in to the competitions themselves; they aren't good enough. For example, in Poland one of the many rivalries is between Wisla Krakow and Cracovia, there are multiple cases of machetes and cleavers actually being used by either sets of ultras on children. They are fucked up. Trust me I'm not at all discrediting the English firms of the 60s-90s, but I feel like even they still had a line as to what they did. Also, going to your point about the modern day ultras in the Eastern European and Balkans regions 'looking up' to English hooligans from the 70s and 80s, nah I don't think that's fully true, that wouldn't explain the passion that these modern ultras have for their club. Back in the day, they just wanted a scrap for reputation and to be the 'biggest' firm in wherever.

Politics are always present in ultra group. When you have to clubs in a town, usually the supporters of one are left wing and supporters of the orther are right wing. In Greece especially riots and clashes beetween fans can go very far. For example, some months ago, an ultra of Aris Thessaloniki (clearly antifa crowd) was killed by supporters of PAOK (who harbors many tendency, the killlers were openly fascist) You can also find that type of rivalery in others countries for example SS Lazio vs. AS Roma

[@raistormrs]

but sometimes, the entire city has such a strong base on one wing, that both major clubs are on the same side... like in Liverpool, where both clubs are left wing. but yes, the split is more the norm. so LFC - Everton may be known as the merseyside derby, but it's also often called the friendly derby, which i kind of like, if you want to go make trouble, wait for the Chelsea game instead... 😜

[@alakntvr7179]

Historically speaking, most of these clubs were raised around unions(wether industrial, agriculture, police, army, students, etc...) and with time they spread from Father to Son and it became what you have today, also, through time 90% of them based on unions political, religios and competition (army vs police, academy vs academy, industry in one city vs industry in proximity city, etc.) Ultras factions adopted these tendencies, so, yeah :D most rivalries are based on that + local teams from the city(some cities have more than 2-3 clubs and they all hate eachother) + historical events between cities, countries, regions, religion... So what you see here, even police fightings and so on, are mainly during derby games... Hope it helps, cheers!

That whole football hooliganism used to be called "The English Disease" but it's a lot less violent in the UK now than it is across swathes of Europe.

[@TheMightyHams]

Most of these aren't "historic moments". They'll be your average derby match between two rivals. It's far more common for violence to occur in Eastern (and some Central) European matches than it is in Western Europe due to years of authorities targeting and restricting hooligan/ultra movements, but events still occasionally happen. South America (I believe) is still up there with ultras and football-related violence. There's an important distinction to be made though: Ultras are just hard-core fans of the club. They will bring flares and chants to every game and champion the supporter atmosphere for their side during games. Hooligans are often ultras, but put their energies towards aggression against the opposition instead of just intense support for their team.

[@nikolakostadinovski4308]

In the Balkans specifically, the rivelaries do have solid backgrounds, be it in the national leagues or in cups where teams from different countries would meat. To just give you an example... My club, Vardar Negotino, is compiting in the second and third division in Macedonia, goes up and down constantly, and when we have games with Tikvesh from the neighbouring Kavadarci it is fired up as fuck. The hatred between us is, from Negptino's side, cause the people of Kavadarci burned the town to the ground 150 years ago because it was more prosperous than theirs, while from Kavadraci's point is because Negotino has always been much better in everything historically despite always being smaller (unfortunately for us that changed in the last 15 years). Anyhow, despite both clubs being part of a crapy league, often being in the lower divisions, the stands are always full, passionate to the max, tons of incidents have happened (me being involved in numerous of those), special police force and regular police is always present in abundance, but heck you cannot stop a big mass of fired up people on the move. While my club doesn't seem like it will have opportunities to play in qualifying matches for European cups anytime soon, if somehow it happens, and let's say it is drawn against a team from Bulgaria, there will sure be lot of blood spilled because the Bulgarians massacred lot of young people during WW II, and the memories are fresh!

Most radical thing beside fights was when Red Star Belgrade vs Dinamo Zagreb started a war because game happened isn very risk times.

[@roboi2241]

Proper hooligans were the ones in England in the 1970s, mainly teenagers or adults in their early 20s who engaged in spontaneous unorganized ultra violence without the regimented mock military rally precision of the modern European 'ultras'. For an example look up Tottenham v Chelsea 1975 where a relegation tussle between the teams turned into a pitch battle between the fans in which Chelsea fans were chased from pillar to post and set upon mercilessly. Most other European fans in those days were well behaved in the free west and when English fans went to Europe they often raised hell and gradually became the pariahs of Europe culminating in a 5 year ban from European club competition after a tragedy in Belgium when 39 Juventus fans died. Some Italians were goading Liverpool fans at the 1985 European Cup (Champions League) Final who responded by breaking through the barriers causing the Italians in the other section to flee and a wall at the dilapidated old Heysel stadium in Brussels collapsed crushing many to death. Proper hooliganism in England died out in the late 80s, probably as a result of Heysel, also the Hillsborough tragedy and government measures. Some say the rave culture where working class youth turned to acid and ecstasy and all night raves in the late 80/early 90s had impact on the hooligan mentality. Since then hooliganism has virtually died out in England apart from sporadic incidents involving overweight middle aged men arranging 'tear ups' or whatever over mobile phones. In communist states in the 1970s/80s many of the fans were army conscripts and I imagine many of the ultras in this vid are the progeny of those conscripts, having long been released from communist shackles, they retain the regimental military mentality and organization aspects and are quite fearsome.

The story of Didier Drogba and how the Ivory Coast qualifying for the World Cup brought peace to the country. 2. I remember seeing a report, I think on the FIFA YT channel a few years ago, about a team of Nepalese teen girls, how football was a means for liberation for them and how they'd travel for days, on foot, in the Himalayas, just to play a football match, few people probably ever saw. It really puts things into perspective, how football is much more than the glamour of the World Cup and it is... in a way... the only true global language. You may not know much about them and their culture, but get a ball and you're friends now. Across cultures, langauges, wealth, etc. we understand each other. 3. An individual drama, look for the story of a football player: Abdon Porte. He loved football so much, he couldn't bear living without it. Por el sangrie de Abdon ("For the Blood of Abdon") is for me the simplest, yet greatest football chant, because of the story behind it.

The channel Peleja has a doc on Union Berlin, a soccer club from East Germany that was in first place this season on Bundesliga. It has english subtitles. ("COMO ESSE CLUBE DA ALEMANHA SOCIALISTA TÁ LIDERANDO A BUNDESLIGA"). It's a team owned, socialist, soccer club. It shows just how much a club and the sport means to everyday people. Since you liked Welcome to Wrexham...

You wish you knew what the conflict was? Mostly the conflict is that one hooligan firm tries to reach the rivals hooligan firm and then the police gets in between to keep them apart.

If u want to know more about the topic watch this short documentary ''Why Ultras Are So Important For Football'' - COPA90 Stories

[@ismychrif6097]

Even sunday League Can go crazy and dangerous in suburbs, for m'y exemple when i was young in Paris suburbs. I know personnaly fans being injured with knifes juste for a winning game. Thats why know i dont let my son play football in club and suscribed him in a combat sport.

[@xerooxpro199]

These are not moments in history, these are normal games.

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

No historic moments brother. This is just a normal weekend of football...at least it was. The mentality is coming back though. It is not about violence, it is about brotherhood and camaraderie, us vs them. Most of these are young men from poor backgrounds, the only place they have to let off steam is the stadium... In un mondo che non ci vuole più, canterò di più, canterò di più(In a world that doesn't want us anymore, I will sing even more, I will sing even more) Napoli Ultras chant

The difference between europe and the us is that in the us the rivalaries are because your dad told you to hate the other team. In europe and the rest of the world for that matter, the rivalaries are built upon real centuries old ideological, historical, ethnical, economic reasons and a lot more...

[@cosminxxx5287]

first thing to understand is that Europe, or a big part of it has lots of roman empire influence . If huligans and their actions exist now with all the laws and police around, imagine back in the roman empire times, imagine the coliseums . hundreds of schools of gladiators, hundreds of private entreprenours responsable with cattering, cleaning, preparing the shows. it was much wilder. all that carried on .The reason i make the analogy is also cause this arena sports have the same purpose. to give the working class a way to release the pressure of everyday stress. You work for a company were each day your work produces things that worths your salary for the whole year. Each day you sweat and bash your brains for that.. the pressure is insane. I work for a subsidiary for Mercedes benz. the factory i work in produces gearboxes. one gear box worths my salary for 9 months. and i maneuver 300-400 per day. so basically my work on one day worths my salary for the next 280-300 years . all done in one day. and when you go home and pay taxes, electricity, water and gas and food, and all that's left is maybe 10-15% , you are going mad. and all that pressure builds up and has to explode somewere cause if you keep it inside, bad things gonna happen. And here comes a soccer match. its weekend , you had some beers, you're pumped up for one thing that no one can take from you : passion for the game. So yea, be sure things gonna happen on that stadium :) . Competitive sports , since antiquity, are very important in the working class mindset.

suggestion: look up some handball stuff. it's a fast paced sport and it has some good highlights on YT Also I saw some videos from USA handball clubs and yeah, the sport needs more love in the USA (there isn't even a proper ligue yet... hopefully soon) And I'd also suggest Judo (because It's my sport)

[@JP-je6jg]

I don't think there are any really historic moments here. It's just normal football routine. There's a video lots of people have reacted to of European fans versus American fans. It's quite interesting.

might be a couple of spoilers for great goals compilations, but what about greatest football commentary moments for 10k?
