A big reason for the difference in passion between places like Europe, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean etc is a lot of these teams represent town and cities that are hundreds if not thousands of years old. So they could be playing against teams from a place they’ve had a local rivalry or hatred against for hundreds of years. It becomes more than just the game, it’s everything about where your from against everything about where they are from. It’s all very tribal

They usually reserve a really small section of the stadium for the away fans and its completely surrounded by police in riot gear to protect those fans. The rioting and violence is extremely rare for the most part. The passion is very real but if violence was a regular thing then fans would be banned from going to the games by either UEFA, FIFA, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, etc.

If hooligans aren't fans I wonder why they've got tattoos of the club and always are where the club plays. Ultras are wannabee hoolies but are to scared, cowardly and/or weak to actual fight for their club, but do have the balls to stir up the atmosphere and challenge the police and when things get tough and rough have the audacity to f-ing run away... Perhaps that's the reason your country nowadays lacks any real hooligans; all the nationalism, pride and bravery has been 'beaten' out of Germans throughout the last 7 decades.

Right, nothing reflects this more than beating the shit out of each others countrymen. Look, if they want to fight, let them fight each other. Keep the sane people safe. The fact that we had lots of problems with hooligans in the 80s, 90s, and 00s also seems weird considering the 7 decades you mentioned.

The fact you said hooligans are known for atacking children and woman proves you have no clue what you're on about. If you're too scared to fight then don't mingle with the though guys and stay on the family stands next to your mommie and I'm sure you'll never have to face any scary men. Germans never experienced the kind of issues with firms as the Netherlands, Brittain, France, Italy, Russia, Poland, Turkye or South America had/has. Once again you're full of it.

The Ultra thing is tied up in rebellion against strict governments(sometimes unfair) and the Football clubs are mostly 100+ years old so they are woven into the communities, , blend that with gang culture , and your bro said it about Braveheart, there is a huge part of that primal aspect in there. There are some bad people involved with this stuff but also some good people, and many football clubs fans are targeted by officials(police and sport) in many countries because they are community hubs (in the more brutal regimes) and also because they blend with organised crime. It really has a street gang vibe to it but its much bigger, like Bloods and Crips

Away fans between two rivals are accepted in general, but it's always really high security. Basically, the visiting fans have their own section of the stadium so they never get into fights with the home fans. But there are some exceptions. In the Netherlands, the biggest rivalry between Ajax and Feyenoord (clubs from Amsterdam and Rotterdam), has an away fan ban since 2009. It's one of the biggest hate matches in Europe.

The sport is only a few hundred years old. Yet, the chanting is a much older part of this culture. Some historians believe that the Romans would use it when soldiers marched during their long journeys to keep up the mood. While Barbarian tribes would use it to motivate their warriors before going into battle, which is even thousand years eirlear then when Braveheart happened. Now in times of peace this culture is kept alive in the stadiums.

Football clubs are supposed to allow space in stadiums for traveling fans, even here in the United States. Obviously football in the U.S. is on a way smaller level but Major League Soccer requires all teams to sell a minimum of 100 tickets for the fans of the traveling team. There was 135-150 of us in Fort Lauderdale this weekend to watch NYCFC play Inter-Miami (I made a day trip out of it. Landed in Fort Lauderdale by plane at 11:30 AM, was back in New York by 11:30 PM that same night). Edit: however the rules for flares and smoke grenades are similar to Europe, basically it's not allowed. However since it's smaller in numbers, when we use em, it's easier to be caught, possible arrested and banned from going to games for it. Home fans tend to be allowed to use smoke grenades in one part of the stadium here in the U.S. but that depends on the team. My team (NYCFC) cause we play at Yankee Stadium (yes the baseball stadium) do not allow any type of pyrotechnics, smoke grenades included. Many people have been banned in the teams short history for using them in Yankee Stadium. Fun fact. Only been following NYCFC since 2018, club I grew up supporting was Junior Fútbol Club (they play in Colombia, my father's hometown club).

To put it short , this goes on , on and off the pitch , every city has a team , each team has 2-3 if not more firms of ultras , firm is like a "gang" to put it lightly , during off season and even daily firms fight each other outside the stadium for power , money , and different "activities" that benefit your firm if you're the top firm of a certain club but , on match day we unite , we put aside our shit that goes on outside the stadium and we come together against the opposing team , it's a "controlled" chaos for most part , each firm has a firm leader , that firm leader has pulls and connections with most of the rival firm leaders and stay in contact to make sure everything goes well , there are certain rules if a fight breaks out even outside the stadium at random , you never kick someone who's down and you never use weapons , with some exceptions but no fire arms . Most ultras do not become ultras over night , it's been running down in the family from father to son for generations and what is even better is that these rival firms come together whenever there is a match against a team from another country , that is the ultimate exception where we all come together and unite against a rival country , you've got to understand that most of these rivalries are based on history , wars and oppression , one of the most feared and most renowned firms are from greece ,atleast in the eastern part of europe , mainly because of the rich greek history . There is more to it but yea , that's the basics of it mainly , loved your bro's reaction though , much love from the most eastern latin country in europe . Stay safe out there

it depends where, in France, and also Germany to a lesser extent, we have only one big club per city, except Paris which now has a second team in Ligue 2 since 2 or 3 years ago, on the other hand, a lot of smaller sized cities have a club, some clubs even have a stadium that is bigger than the city (Lens, Guingamp). That's mainly because France is a big country andd belonging to a club is mainly for geographic reasons, whereas in eastern Europe you also belong to a club because of politics etc (often, one club is right wing, the other is left wing, or different reasons)

[@3dml784]

Normally in a stand you have a major group wich incorporates all other smaller subgroups of ultras\hooligans\casuals etc. All do coreographies together, chants and things related to the game itself. outside the stadium is where they differ the most from one another. Tipically Casual\Hooligan groups go to away games alone and without police escort so they can find home groups and fight each other, this firms are more about the honour and "stand your ground" mentality, they want to defend their colours and city. Ultras on the other hand organize big numbers of fans in buses or trains to travel to the away game (mostly they go with police escort, but some smaller more hardcore ultras choose to travel alone aswell). They are the ones o ocupy their free time to paint flags, banners and tifo's, they create the chants and are allways with the team no matter the result of a game. Both set of groups support their team with all forces, but demand good results from the team, if the team is not performing well in the league ultras and hooligans will act, and sometimes things can get violent. This set of fans are the last romantics in Europe, and try to maintain an ancient way of life, tribalism.

Streetmasks are there for a multitude of reasons, mostly to stay incognito. Ultras often do choreographies involving pyrotechnics, bringing them into the stadium is illegal, and with modern technology and cameras around the pitch you'd get identified easily, so the skimasks prevent that. Also ultras and hooligans are 2 different things. Ultras are hardcore football fans, they're the ones planning the choreographies and such, hooligans are often only out to fight. There's overlap between these groups too but they're not technically the same.

Reason why football is more than a sport in Europe and Latin America is because in many occasions teams represent a social class (Working class, rich or the poor), ethnic groups, political views (Extreme left v Extreme right), religion (Catholic v Christianity) or even just as simple as cities and towns. People are just raised to hate and support their club at a young age. It’s more than a sport. It’s a lifestyle for EVERYONE!! Trust me when you identify with a club you become family and the bond is just unbreakable. You shed tears of joy and sadness with every victory and defeat. That’s why rivalries are more than rivalries and are heated.

​@@dunsonhouse It is a very sad, and gruesome history. In the Balkans, especially Serbian children were taken to become Janissaries - grown in the Ottoman empire, away from their homes and families, forbidden to speak Serbian, so that they can become warriors in the service of SUltan. In a twisted joke, they were usually sent back to their villages to kill off their families. Serbs are tall, and muscular. Lots of Basketball players. Top Waterpolo players. Very good in Sports in general. The concept of Freedom and patriotism is deeply rooted in the Serbian Language, epic poetry, and the protection of everyone's rights. And this spans to early Serbian empire. People had rights when half of the Europe still didn't know what was a fork & knife. Can you just take some time to imagine that for a moment? Serbs suffered a lot throughout the history, and got no open recognition for basically stopping the Ottoman empire's advancement towards the Europe. No "Thanks". The churches around the world ring in the morning because of the victory taken at the Siege of Belgrade in 1456. Belgrade was razed and rebuilt over 40 times in the history. After the Ottomans were there, Austro-Hungarians wanted to eradicate Slavic folk, and threatened with "Iron baths" with cannons. All Serbs wanted was freedom and unification of the Slavic folk. Ability to learn, go to schools, have their language which was forbidden during the slavery. One superpower after another, they all wanted their turn in destroying Serbia. In WW1 we took first ever Allied victory at the battle of Cer. However, when Germans came, we lost 1/3 of the population since then the Austro-Hungarians committed a horrendous genocide in the region of Vojvodina. Germans have stated that they never, ever, saw anyone fighting the way Serbs do. Too many civilians were killed, hanged, thrown in the wells. Then came the WW2, and we had to divert Hitler from advancing on Russia. We were bombarded by Nazis(Axis) and Allies alike. Brits were not targeting the German posts, they were targeting our factories, and food supplies. We've paid a dear price for keeping the peace, were always mutilated and got almost universally hated thanks to the US media & politics of the rich warmongers who wanted to make brothers to fight between each other. In 1999 when NATO aggression took its toil, Serbs would go out on the streets with "Target" T-shirts out of spite. The black fist, a symbol of "Resistance" comes from Serbia. One injustice after another. Football is a chance for us to let go of some steam, to keep the tension somewhat sorted. For a lot of Serbian people, many of these wounds are still fresh, even hundreds of years after the events. They are deeply rooted in our culture, and they shape who we are today. So when we celebrate our club, we don't just celebrate our people, we celebrate our freedom, victory, life, and so forth. That is why there is so much passion. And that is why you can't find that in places where people don't even know what was the name of their grandpa, let alone some distant relatives.

Many europeans grew up with the aftermath of ww2. I know where I grew up it was very much present in every day live. Still today it is felt by many, including the younger generation. Freedom is not anything to take for granted, it's something worth fighting for. Right now even in todays time, there's a growing feeling of being surpressed all over the world. I hope we can be strong to overcome this currant battle

[@chato1418]

We do that so our apponents won't win and will get terrified and so our team know that we got its back so the shortest way to put it is *pressure*

[@fangofsilver5537]

The "Ultras" are a different click of fans so to say😋

[@glitterberrypie297]

My teacher once said "the US has their guns and religion and we have football..."

[@affemitwaffe8504]

At 5:36 it's not a fight it's a moshpit. This is the home sector of the Lech Poznań (Poland) fans and ultras.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment my guy

[@daniard2034]

"controlled chaos!" one of the best descriptions i've ever heard

[@madshansen30]

There is a away section on every stadium for maybe 5-10% of the stadium capital, where the away fans can be

[@madshansen30]

Capacity* (not Capital)

[@TH3RIV]

The most amazing thing about ultras is that they will stand behind their team no matter what. They do not care who you are, they do not care what they have to do, their team is their life. Now saying that they expect the same from the personnel at the club as well. They will support their team no matter if they play well or not, as long as everyone at the club is giving 100% effort every game and put their heart out the ultras will love you. If they see you slacking and costing team games they will turn on you and it won't matter that you are the star of that team. For them it's all they got, it's bigger than life or death itself. Balkan and Turkish fans are the craziest probably. Look into Partizan vs Crvena Zvezda, Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos vs Olympiakos, Aris vs Paok etc.

[@dunsonhouse]

You got to respect that appreciate the comment

[@sanevsp5256]

Nice video guys! RED STAR SERBIA!

[@Lende17]

In America they call it a purge but in Europe we call it everyday life

[@leerobson490]

Pure chaos and passion guys such a fucking rush

[@bamzilla.]

My best description is "supporter culture is where the utmost passion is manifest from ALL things that make passion: love and hate. There's a saying, "Tribalism is the lifeblood of this sport. Do your part and hate thy neighbor".

[@DarkStarDKH]

The Stadium ist the Battlefield, our voices the weapon. ITS Not Sport ITS war. Without Killing anyone.

[@thatchillkid07]

Ultras are like the hardcore die hard fans. They have away sections and home fan sections to avoid conflict. Fans will even go to away teams hotel to make hella noise so they won’t get a good nights sleep 😂

[@luisalonso5817]

There's a series Copa90 did called 'Derby Days' documenting and going into the history of some of footballs biggest rivalries. You guys should see the one about Boca Jr's. and River Plate in Argentina. It's so interesting a spectacle unlike anything American sports could ever replicate.

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment if you can send the link

[@luisalonso5817]

@@dunsonhouse It's pretty long to consider for a reaction video but definitely worth the watch on your own time. Shouts out to you guys from here in RVA tho. I love seeing Americans enjoying this sport more and more in recent years. I promise that the deeper you dive into it, the more beautiful it gets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHqqYmaBm7qGoas

Question about the ski mask: In Germany and other countries the police has an register, they record us everywhere, recognize us and put in the register, so they can bust us when we doing something. We cant even post a picture on social media

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment ✊🏽

[@fangofsilver5537]

Guessing ppl already explained everything. Like opposite team has reserved bleacher sections. But the ratio is mostly like 85% home-team fans at the stadium. But some travel just to fight the rival teams hooligans so. Don´t need a ticket:P And thanks for the respect of calling it by it´s name. Football✌🏽✊🏽😁

[@hendrikwalter3250]

When the biggest rival is coming to your town they be escorted by the police from entering the city till departure! Insinde the stadium the have a separated section also protected by police and fences!

[@p1krman]

Ultras are brothers who support their club to the fullest, youll never walk alone 💪

[@301gobluehailmich1]

Football is our religion.......Manchester is forever RED!

[@dunsonhouse]

Respect appreciate the comment

[@dimitri72schotanus3]

Clubs in the states can be sold and moved to other cities.....not so much over here so club love runs deep and can go for several generations

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment

[@apparg1]

For ultra,s the club is there way of life. Then there are hooligans and for them it means to defend there club/city everywhere and always. Somehow its in our dna, we have been fighting for centuries against each other.

[@dualismo4364]

there are rivals in the stadion away days are the best days

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate the comment

[@xxxPINWIxxx]

Ultras are a small part of the fan base... Some clubs like Real Madrid, ban the ultras for the stadium to make the sport more family friendly. Greettings from Spain

[@EB-jf5oi]

It never really existed in Spain. It's hooliganism from England, but it doesn't exist there anymore, and now it's in mostly other regions of Europe, and it's not a small part, just like hooliganism in England was not a small part back in the day

[@whiteshoos]

When we play against our rivals in my city in Germany (against our neighbouring city, called a local derby), the fans gather in different places in the city and march to the stadium separately, usually escorted by police. They have separate entrances and sit in different sections of the stadium as well. Same on the way out.

[@Zoro-sl6rn]

I been with ultras of my team we go every game even in away game and the adrenaline that you get it’s some different beyond imagination you can’t understand until you are one of us

[@dunsonhouse]

I respect that

[@teringlijer4202]

its controlled chaos untill a certain point

[@dunsonhouse]

[@adrianb298]

Its the flags and colours.. This has historical roots

[@Mischnikvideos]

Police at football: There is no national guard in Europe. Instead there is a gendarmerie. In some countries it is police officers who are trained like the military, in other countries it is the military police who belong to the Ministry of Interior as a second, independent army and not to the Ministry of Defense. They don't shoot live ammunition, but they don't show any consideration either. It's the state tear gas thugs and they are correspondingly hated. In the upper leagues they can guarantee security, but the hooligans then move to the lower leagues. Europe is still a continent of war. But the streets are safer than in the USA because the violence is ritualized.
