[@helgaioannidis9365]

There's different kinds of chants. Usually there's one that's some kind of love song to the club. AS Roma has two very beautiful love songs written by famous songwriter Antonello Venditti dedicated to the team he loves. Every fan can sing them. Then there are shorter ones that are also meant to show support to your team and basically most of the times it's just the name of the team and something like "let's go". And then there are chants specifically to mock the other team. Of those there exist two categories: the first is just general and can be used on any opponent team, the second is specifically made for a certain opponent team (usually it's for teams that have a big rivalry, like when they are from the same city). Those can be very vulgar,at least as far as I know in Greece and Italy.

[@dominickronert3364]

I'm from Germany and a huge football fan (or like americans say a soccer fan). And for me it is like a must, that the fans sing and so on in order to push and motivate the team on the pitch. The bengalflares are to visualize emotions and to make a choreo more visual and to make the picture of it more impressive, its some kind of a contest between the ultragroups. The number of Policemen depends on the game itself, how much conflict-potential there is between the fans. When there is a derby, a match between clubs where the fans are very agressive against the others, there is much more police, the police in Germany call it "Hochrisikospiel", in english like "Highriskmatch" (just word4word translation sorry :D) For myself, i'm almost 27 and i can't just watch the game when my team is on the pitch. I have to sing, jump and applaus.

National teams have their own chants that they sing at National team games for their respective countries.

First of all, no. There’s never enough security to keep fans off the pitch if fans decide to storm the pitch.

And yes...we make the stadiums shake, modern safety construction made of reinforced concrete. Our clubs aren’t chosen as fans, it’s what team we have locally or what our fathers beats into us. And you support a club for life, there’s no changing about, and everyone will remember who you support for the rest of your life. Also, yes we used to have a lot of violence concentrated around supporter clubs. But the government’s decided that was too scary and started banning ultras, so now we support our club and involve ourselves in politics.

Then you have other clubs who's fans are all very left-wing, almost anarchist like for example St. Pauli from Hamburg. Especially in bigger cities with several rivalling clubs they differentiate each other through political ideologies. One famous example is also the so-called "Old Firm" rivarly between Celtic Glasgow vs Glasgow Rangers which is essentially part of Scottish history and culture. Even though they are from the same City, Celtic is supported by left-leaning Catholics who believe Scotland should be independend from the UK.

Man when your team scores a goal and you are in the middle of that you can hear the ground shaking. The first time I experienced it I was 5 and I will never forget that feeling.

[@SportyMabamba]

It’s amazing to me that some football chants have transcended language and gone global, eg that _Ole Ole Ole Ole_ one. We sing that too! One sport, One Passion, One Love. From 🇬🇧 to the 🌎

[@fleshen]

Bro football is life and death for everyone outside of the States mate my wife is a half yank and she is so now into football she hates that nfl thing

[@dunsonhouse]

😂😂😂✊🏽 appreciate the comment my guy

[@wagwag1238]

03:00 they are all standing with their backs to the field just to show te ennemy they are confident in their team winning easy, so they don’t watch and sing for like 5 minutes, it’s maaddd hahaha

[@asdsad1745]

Usualy its just an choreo. Never heard anywone who treat it like being cofident of win. Esepcialy as fan u are not scoring so it doest affect on result that u are watching or dont :p

[@asdsad1745]

Also if fans are presenting "poster" (dont know word for these big fabric) is that meaning they are awere beacuse they are" hiding" under fabric? xd

[@wagwag1238]

And you’re Rio Ferdinand or what? I can’t understand 3 words of your response mate, yes they turn around because they know their team is winning easily, sometimes it’s also a choreo but that’s not the point 😶 and idk what kind of fabric you wanna talk about… do you mean like the big ‘tifo’s’ who cover a big part of the audience before the game starts?

[@joint.ak7806]

Yeah, everyone bigs up us england lads but in reality we’re just the rude but funny uncle at the family gathering, over in the more Eastern European country’s is where you find the ones that’ll give their heart and soul for their club, for some football is their life and when you have no other way to vent, a football match at a big game or even a league game is where you can safely do (within reason kinda) whatever you want. Also, the ‘fires’ are just flares, sometimes a crackhead might take it too far but unless you’re waving it right in someone’s face then they’re pretty harmless Great vid btw man, can’t wait to binge watch more lol

[@dunsonhouse]

I respect my guy appreciate you sharing

[@Hxb_.10]

Nah England are great fans but recently we have been getting to many glory hunters we used to be ,ike that and small clubs still are

[@jeykey4134]

Americans being genuinely shook by we europeans obsession (literally) for football make me soft their reactions are so cute ♡♡♡

[@michaelalexandrakisv3204]

Paok and panathinaikos are greek football clubs, the fans in greece giving just their harts to the club they support.

[@maarius030]

In Europe almost every club has “ultras”. It’s a special part of the clubs fans which are like hardcore fans. Most of the times it’s them burning down the pyros and the most stadiums have one block just for the ultras. These fans are not loved by anyone because not everyone like these extrem things like pyros (which is illegal btw) and they have problems with the police sometimes because they fight with the police or opponent fans. But imo these are the best fans because they make noise in the stadium and the they really love the club and give it soul not like for example people who come to the stadium just because it’s a big game eventhough they aren’t real fans of any of the clubs

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate that info ✊🏽 thanks for commenting

[@KDTPio]

In Germany Ultras are also a new kind of culture for young people like Punks in the 80s for example. Their mission is to support their club with all passion they get. With owm mechandise without being commercial. They dont wear official licensed products of their Club. Every earned money is for the support and for choreos. And, what of „normal“ fans doenst know: they do also a lot of social work in their hometowns. Youthprogramms, charity for Child hospitals etc… Its a special way of life that older generations dont understand.

[@nevrotykbarbaru8131]

"They do fire after the game,before the game?".Answer is "yes".Before the game,during the game,after the game

[@aicardaaida237]

love your reactions keep it up

[@beowoulf355]

Some quick info. These clubs have a large group of what are called Ultras. Think of them as superfans. They work all week on presentations and chants. They arrive hours before the match and have a designated area. They get the team and the rest of the crowd going. A lot of the chants are used all the time so the rest of the crowd gets into it too.

[@dunsonhouse]

That’s real passion appreciate the comment my guy

[@CartzT30]

For us football is our lives, growing up especially where in from it practically saved our lives, that’s why we’re so passionate about it

[@dunsonhouse]

I respect that ✊🏽

[@benjaminbronnimann3966]

8:30 that's before the game, you can see the players shaking hands on the pitch

[@sqmaster1831]

When they fire in the game it shows that the derby is on fire by the fans 💙 And they do fire before the game!

[@YD-jf7je]

For that Paok match it was delayed a whole hour, also the fans had put sardines under Olympiakos bench.

[@Isleofskye]

Great Reaction, My Friend.. Rapid Wien is an Austrian team, which is the Country next to Germany, not an Australian team . Good Luck.

[@Stinoo_93]

PAOK is in Greece! Mostly it's before the game when the teams come on the pitch to begin the game! It's an amazing feeling! I love it so much. But when the game is busy they will sing and chant and jump but not as crazy before the match.. but the crowd can really be a factor in the game! The 12man ❤️because there are 11players per team on the pitch and we are the 12th man of the team we support.. singing them forwards to win the game 😁

[@dunsonhouse]

✊🏽 I love how y’all got so much love for your teams man

[@trivelaclips_tv]

2:59 it's called let's do the Poznan. After Lech Poznan (Polish team) won something big ten years ago and it went viral. I think the purpose is that we don't need to watch the game, we've already won

13:35 the game that s about to start hosted at Bucharest has at least 3000 police and special forces at the arena for about 27k people present, but keep in mind this game has a very low probability of altercations or violence. France vs Switzerland

[@dunsonhouse]

Ok just wondering thanks for the comment ✊🏽

PAOK FANS FROM GREECE ARE SOMETHING ELSE🖤🤍🇬🇷

[@mitsakos6869]

8:16 it's a greek derby paok vs olympiakos and all this happened before the match start

[@AzulinhoAzulinho]

Don't know if they say it everywhere, but here in Scotland we have a cliché that the fans are "the twelfth man". A good support can spur a team on to success. It can energise them.

[@baszuidema2171]

the chant you asked for translated. 90 minutes long for our club from amsterdam craziness on the stands nobody can stop us

[@Scienzer]

Just imagine the culture ur Dad teached you,the love to ur City ,ur gang shit without Shootings and ur best friends and familie all of that come togehter with football . Then u might imagine what football means for real and that you can never compare it with other Sports in the US

[@dummkopphannes]

The "fire" is called Pyro. It's to show the Team how motivated u r for the game and to create a speciak atmosphere. First time in Italy where Ultras where found and then came to Kaiserslautern in Germany.

[@dummkopphannes]

But its illegal as u say in ur title but the ultras are very creative to find a way threw security and police

[@dunsonhouse]

Appreciate that comment and info my guy

[@dummkopphannes]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnuQhH-ah7Vqe9k Here they motivate their Team for the second half. Its a Match where two rivals play against each other and the supporters hate each other. They want to show how important it is to win this game. But for something like this the Club has to pay 10k Euro minimum

[@dummkopphannes]

The link is of a 3rd League Match in germany by the way

[@dummkopphannes]

Greetings from Germany

[@JonLot]

The fires you see are Bengal fires and it's before, during or after the game. Mostly before to bring the atmosphere to the players to show the support. Football (not soccer ;) ) is a big party in Europe where we are all a unity for the same team. Long history, football has been for the working class to enjoy after a long hard week of work.

[@miguuuuuz]

The fires are most of the time before the game. They usually wait till all the smoke is gone before starting the game. Btw PAOK is in greece

[@BerishStarr]

The "fires" are just glowsticks. What I've understand they are banned in most US states. Which amazes me, since you can get a gun in a corner shop xD

[@dunsonhouse]

😳😂

[@alexfournier8574]

@@dunsonhouse they’re not glow sticks they’re flares and they’re on fire

@Florian B. I know, should have said "glowsticks". As we call them that xD

[@alexanderkanto6155]

That is fire. Trust me 😂 My hand got burned once by a stray flare and probably should have gone to the ER, but could get myself to leave the game. I’ve lost scarves in the fire, clothes got burn holes all over. Memories. LOVE IT!

5:35 I’m pretty sure he blurred the video because there were some people doing the Roman salute. You can still see some of them. Aah Lazio fans, you never change

[@algumacoisa1232]

Why they do that? Lazio is something Roman? I suspect that also because of the eagle on the top of the shield

[@Romrijsel]

@@algumacoisa1232 I think he meant the nazi salute, Lazio is famous for being openly nazi. But blurring videos in Ultra videos is standard because people don't want to be individually recognized
