Stadium is build to flex, bend and move. If the stadium was totally stiff, then you would risk the concrete or metal to crack and collapse. So the art of stadium construction, is to make it of many sections, and have all sections being able to move independently of each other (just how bridges does, with their connection between bridge section and land section of the road surface)

I knew we had this when he brought up "bringing drums" as the high point of the USA.. Bruh the England team has a whole band with drums, trumpets and tubas that comes to EVERY SINGLE ENGLAND GAME. Edit: Not to mention that you have to bear in mind, most of the European examples shown were club games, not even national events. By American standards, we basically have a Superbowl-level event every year, if not more frequent.

During the Champions League match the "roar" that came out of the Maradona stadium in Naples reached such high peaks that it activated the seismographs of the Vesuvian observatory...

"It aint even gonna compare!" That genuinely made me laugh. For Americans, sport is just a show. When Americans go to a game, they look at it as just having some light fun. Get some food, maybe have a little beer, and just enjoy themselves. For us Europeans, (Especially eastern Europe) its literally tribal. You will give your life to defend the honor of your city. You take your kids to the game to bond. For us, its a coming of age ritual that will initiate them into manhood.

Its that simple. It's in our blood, it's in our history. There is nothing that compares to the love and dedication a football fan has to his club over here.

Whenever i got into the civil engineering uni i realised how, whenever people are designing these stadiums, they are calculating the statics taking into consideration that there is gonna be like a good few thousand people jumping at the same time. If the stadium can take lets say 10.000 people, then it is designed in such a way that it can endure the force that is produced by 10.000 people jumping up and down simultaneously. Most people don't even realise this but whenever a big football match takes place, there is a team of engineers somewhere praying they made no mistake. It's insane.

My great-grandma was one of the founders of our “Spionkop”, inspired by Liverpool. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was 4, but the club didn’t forget her. The women team is called after her. She had one wish, to be burried being tucked in a flag of the club. My grandpa was a youth trainer, kit manager of the first team and scout. (Not all at the same time) The most famous player he scouted is Thomas Meunier back when he played at Virton. I also could get match worn (or atleast match prepared) shirts of my favorite players. The Saturdays I didn’t had to play, I used to go with my grandpa to the club and chill with the players when they’re done training. My dad wasn’t really into football (more interested in trucks) until I started playing. My parents used to get gifts from the club for the birth of my brother and me.

So true, I remember seeing my grandparents and parents singing these songs and I still remember it despite not being fond of football.

Precisely. People don't show up for the game. They show up for the atmosphere, the community and the fun of it all. Most hardcore fans, or ultras as we call them, spend the whole game supporting their team, don't really pay attention during it, then go home and rewatch the game so they see what happens.

6:36, for all those who are wondering, is the French national hymn. It probably is one of the bloodier hymns there are. "L'étandard sanglant est levée" means "the blood-drenched flag is risen". So, yeah. Well, you could type in "French hymn English lyrics" to get a better sense of that song.

I would say we in Germany have like one of the best fans in terms of atmosphere. Like imagine playing in the bottom half of the league and still filling your stadium with more than 45000 people. Like Stuttgart, Berlin or even in 2nd division we have Kaiserslautern (who played 3rd division last year) that bring 10000 fans to Hamburg on a Friday evening (which is like over 600km away)

I'm Brazilian, but I really love your national anthem.

The clip of the street march that's been circulating in the last few months of the Chemie Leipzig fans is so crazy, I wish this was in the vid. It's insane.

Last one is the Romanian national anthem, and as many previously said, over here and South America, it's a culture, it's more than just 22 people kicking a ball.

Fans' culture is inherited in Europe, from one generation to the other, with the songs, unlimited support to the team and savage shouts. Nowadays that major club are defined by investment with international players in no direct relation to the city or country, it is still a celebration of being together. Minor clubs with great tradition can be much more enjoying (Köln, Lens) or savage (PAOK, Fenerbace) than major club (Chelsea, Paris).

Oii !!! I'll thank you to leave my club out of your comparisons. Chelsea FC is older than all those other clubs you mentioned. They were the biggest supported club in England a century ago with 60, 70, 80, thousand crowds. I'm not sure what is meant by 'savage' either. Chelsea had a hooligan element and huge support to away matches long before these others. It's because English clubs had such problems that the authorities clamped down on them so much. We don't set off flares or get told by some self appointed leader what to sing but the fans care about the club just as passionately as any other.

I've never been into football, not now, not in the past, but in my senior year in high school our hometown team managed to make it to the highest national division and not only that, but started there with 2 back to back wins. 3rd game was home turf. The entire week before that it was like New Year was coming. On the day of the match the entire city took a day off. Nothing was working, except the shops right next to the stadium. The match was to start at 17:00, at 14:00 THE ENTIRE CITY flooded the main street. No one drives to the stadium, it's a march to there. Flags, flares... it's was like people were going to war with smile on their faces. The stadium was small for a small town and could only fit 20 000 ppl, but there were probably 10 times that because i remember NO ONE stayed at home. Even my mom came to the game. In the blocks around the stadium there were people on the balconies and the roofs. And i know the atmosphere is the same across entire Europe. There is no chance that there is a game in the town you are in and you staying unaware of it.

im from sweden. my entire friend group just came together when we were 10 years old and everyone picked a club and now everyone has to support the club for their entire lives.

As an italian, i can confirm for the milan one, usualy at end end of our chorus we put "chi non salta è juventino" which means "who desen't jump is juventino" Juventus is a football team that is mostly disliked by a lot of people so its like an insult 😂😂😂

I recall one World Cup match (I think it was the last time it was held in Germany). Some of the fans in the upper tier had set off road flares and were dancing around them, chanting for their team.

...when marching to the stadium in europe is even louder than an entire us-fanblock... ❤😍

It is our pride, all our families belong to the same team and from the moment you are born you are part of that team, it is all a matter of pride and tradition.

So great that we have soccer in common. Damn how much we love soccer over here. Best to all from South Germany

I love how Greece never fails to be shown in these type of videos.

Those are essentially war chants from the Middle Ages.. You’re fighting an enemy and chant with your battle companions… That’s who all of this started hundreds of years ago

Football in Europe (and most of the world) is life. We live it everyday, we sleep it, breath it. It's like a religion. And the love and passion for a team is mostly passed down for Generations. Starting as young as just born tbh😂😊 this ain't a game for us, this is Life!

​ @Samuel Pinder I'm half English and half German. In 1966 at 17 I was on a train in Germany with a girlfriend on my first holiday without parents. What really made me laugh (I couldn't really lose - lol) was the controller walking up and down the length of the train commenting the match in a loud voice. At the end of the match, he just disappeared, probably to drown his sorrows in Schnaps 🥵🥵🥵

When the Belgrade Arena (now called Štark Arena) in Serbia was being built there was a delay about a year long. They had to redesign and redo the upper stands for safety and structural integrity. They realized that in the original design the architect forgot to calculate in the force of thousands of people jumping up and down in unison. True story...

If you ever visit Germany, come to a game. If it happens to be go to a "Derby Game" were two rivaling Clubs play against each other like Schalke 04 and BvB 09 . It will change your perspective of fandom.

in Europe we don't go to the game. We are going to war. It's an honor. You go there and represent your city. You die for your club and city.

I live four miles from a football grounds and can sometimes hear the cheering from my garden. I used to live just over a mile from another and could hear the singing, dogs nearby howled along with it!

you see we support our club team like its a tribal war...that's just the way it is...we (ultras and normal fans) are there to defend our colours... ofc, relegation and promotion play a big part on this urge and when it gets to Uefa Champions League or Europa league it becomes not only about your team but sometimes about you country's main football league prestige/quality

Concerning the Frankfurt one (the third european clip): A lot of stadiums are built on dampers, because there have been accidents where stands collapsed, because people jumped too much or so. That is why there are massive security measurements today.

Listening to the national anthems being sung before the match starts is awesome. The Welsh one is ace.
