Hey, Connor! Greetings from 🇩🇪. To answer your question about the jumping fans: Yes, the construction is designed for exactly that. Many flexible elements are installed that vibrate and can compensate for the vibrations. It's not just a single large reinforced concrete block, but individual segments.🤘

At least the way i see it: Football is so important in Europe because it replaces War. Football took the Tribalism and Aggression and gave them a more enjoyable form than war, so basically where we Europeans would in the past have gone to war with our Neighbours for the sake of them being our Neighbours, now we scream at each other while our club smashes them in Football - or gets smashed. Especially in the Balkans, as that area s still quite... geopolitically "active".

They do nowadays. They've gotten much better at it since the 1980s. There are still collapses, but since civil engineers have gotten a better understanding of eigenfrequencies there haven't been any really major incidents.

If you like the yellow/black jerseys, you need to take a look at the yellow wall of the Borussia Dortmund team in Germany. It's insane.

4:38 Number of sports has nothing to do with fans, if stadium is decently filled then there is enough interest and fans for creating good atmosphere. In Europe various other sports are very popular, in number of European countries basketball is on par with football, hockey is big in some, handball, waterpolo, volleyball. Of course football is by far most popular in most but you can find clips of similar support for various teams in various sports... You have a view of Europe that is largely based on England or UK but they are more similar to the US then to most European countries, especially countries of Southern and Eastern Europe.

Usually those are emergency flares used on ships.. that's why they are so bright..

The World Cup takes place every four which makes it more iconic.

This is pretty tame, watch Ultra our way of life.

the 1944 banner was put on cause the game was played on or close to memorial day. we in europe dont forget that time. the stadiums most likely dont fall down from the jumping cause the stadions are build to withstand that ( like it is earthquake safe) and the fires are flares, syberia and serbia 2 regions in europe but thousands of miles apart the chants start when the fans go to the stadium in public transport and stop when they get out of public transport when they are at their home destination

You have to understand that football is much more than a sport. The political, economic and social context all play a role in the fanaticism. The supporters of SS Lazio (blurred video) are extreme right. There are also communist clubs. You can imagine the security measures that have to be taken when certain teams play against each other.

The stadiums are usually designed to withstand all the jumping up and down but collapses are not unheard of. Doesn't happen very often nowadays though.

The next step is to convert all the energy that the fans jump into the stadium into electrical energy. There are dance floors that can do that so why not a stadium.

If war ever came to Europe the enemy would get into big problems. Imagine if all football matches had to be canceled until the war is over. European football fans would just quickly deal with the war so that they can see the next football game. As it is scheduled... :)

I"m going to give some background with this and im going to use your video's on the troubles in northern ireland as segway. In those vids you saw how deep religious divides go in europe sometimes. We take those into our sports too, catholics wont support protestant teams and vice versa, like in scotland with celtic (catholic) and Rangers (protestant) teams in glasgow. But it often goes further back. Back in the days of city states, you had intense rivaleries between cities that are now in the same country. Fast forward to today and that old rivalery is still there. Clubs created by certain classes of people, rich man's clubs vs the work man's club etc. Thats where club identities come from here in europe.

What’s funny is that Basketball will soon be a much bigger and greater sport in the rest of the world because the fans and Ultras is what will make the clubs grow. Add to this that the US teams is selling out to China. The us will be left with Baseball which is boring AF😴

The stands aren't "bleachers" like in the States. They're reinforced concrete with suspension to allow for movement

It is so funny how many football chants took their tune from Pippi Longstockings

@12:20 that fireworks is before the match. YUou can see the players lined up in the middle. They will just wait till it's gone.

The French fans were repeating the same thing to each other from different sides of the stadium to intimidate the opposing team and fans. You should watch these videos with translations, it has a bigger impact when you understand what they are chanting. By the way, I love your reactions. They are so honest.

Difficult in England and Wales to be in a crowd like 'most' of these, as it's all seater stadiums at the top levels these days and clubs take a dim view of flares. Germany has a few exceptions, with special standing areas today but it was like that in both countries when I used to go regularly in the seventies through to the early 2000's. German stadia back then usually seemed a little safer generally as when standing, we had a bit more room. Someone told me they use 'Aeronautical Technology' incoporated into the building of these new stadia to give strength and flexibility. Sounds plausible if true?

Of course they calculate the loads of people jumping up and down, otherwise we'd have a major disaster every week. That being said, the crowd will never jump up and down completely simultaneously.

every club ultras has a leader that conducts the ultras in and out of the stadiums

Hi can you react we were revolutionaries inter milan fans by copa90( is a video about italian inter ultras during lockdown)and tell a bit of what ultras are and what they do Or Top 10 ultras italy by ultras avanti

Flares are for atmosphere, fires are for rival club fan-attributes. They burn fan stuff taken from rival fans outside, trough the year. Hats, scarfs, shirts, anything worn in the wrong place, wrong time. It's like a extra middle finger, to your rivals. These attributes are always hung below, up front, for all to see getting burned. U€Fa Mafia.

6:20 I think it started earlier 80's in England. It was a kind of hooligan ritual. It was copy from Liverpool fans from 80's. But it's like a football dance if may say. 9:00 Normaly the Ultras are around minimum 2000 for big and midium Football Clubs. The stadiums in Europe, especially, are built on the basis of the vibration of the fans, they are built on anti-seismic foundations. 9:50 Legia Warsaw, Ultras made an appeal for people not to forget the atrocities of WW2, in which 160000 children were killed in the gas chambers. and as you see they did 1 minute of silence but the Legia Warsaw Ultras start chating words to not be forgoten the horror of WW2. 10:30 About the currpcion in UEFA asking them where the 35000€ fines went to.

US doesn't have the passion. In Europe you support your club, doesn't matter in which sport. If you are a club member then for every sport the club participates. That would never happen in US.

18:35. Most clubs have a capo that lead the most faithful on the Ultras section.

That thing you talking about having to many top sports Europe have all sports you have plus some more and we do still have this kind of atmosphere in nearly every sport that the club is playing Fotball of course have the best but they still have ultras in basketball, Handball , Hockey and sports like that

15:02 it's not a pirate thing, it a sign that some units of Yugoslav royalists resistance wore during WW2. Oh and about the fires, those are Bengal flares, they develop huge temperature, 1000 degrees celsius or 1832 degrees fahrenheit.

very interesting "salute" by some of the Lazio fans.... 🙄

Just thought I’d throw in our anthem/chant from Norwich City FC for a couple of reasons 1, we have a American international in our squad “Josh Sergeant” so playing the favouritism card as you are also American 😆 and 2, it’s actually the worlds oldest anthem/chant not having changed in about 120 years since we formed as a club it’s called “on the ball city” and has featured on shirts as o.t.b.c and is commonly used by supporters in comments or messages as a hype phrase as o.t.b.c kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZalyZRxdrXYfZc.html

20:00 and yeah that is a trend, to try to explain, further south you go in Europe people are more passionate more hot headed and that sort of thing, and further east you go people are harder, tougher and Balkans are in that spot, east and south and Balkan fans are probably the most insane ones. And those are poorer countries, with history of war and conflict, some ongoing, some in recent past that all affects society and what affects society affects the fans.

Yeah, I was in the video. I'm attending every game that AIK (Stockholm, Sweden) plays, and have been since 1995.

The flares are banned from football in most countries but some people just do it anyway. Fights have started quite a few times and police has to step in.

Uhm, no, they are usually build at surface level. It's just good construction engineering skills that allows stadiums to disperse the force they have to endure, they are built to withstand this force. Of course it includes regular maintenance and replacing parts that are getting too worn out over time, but they can withstand a damn lot before that is neccessary.

No Pyro no party.. Du musst vor der Tür warten 😂✌️🦅

I am in my SEVENTH decade of attending London matches but you MUST watch The Argentina Celebrations when millions turned out at 3.30 IN THE MORNING to welcome back Messi and The World Champions. They are amazing KZread videos showing the Argentine celebrations in Argentina and All Over The World:)

Every time when is game it is like this. Dont go out of the house. 😬

There's a version of this with English subtitles.

I'm acctually sad for the end of the cup, simply becuase after argentina won against my national team Croatia in semifinal , they exchanged jerseys with our team just to film themselves throwing them in trash later. That's hillbilly behaviour and very disrespectfull seeing how they were knocked out the group stage by us 4 years ago like actual trash lol, and we all just ignoring the way quatar been setting up this games lmao, never a bias so obvious than this year ( i dont belive my team couldve gotten gold but at some points you didn't know if we should cry, laugh or yell at the judges that were clearly bought out)... whispers : both messi and mbappe (france) play for PSG, a club privately owned by quatar... funny how that happens

Connor, I have a special treat for you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWeeuNZsoNWYiJc.html (you can skip the first 3:30min). Here is a video of an English football fan visiting a game in Dortmund, Germany. You see the build-up of the match in the town, the fans marching on foot from the city center to the stadium, the excitement before the game and the atmosphere in the stadium. What he sees is the game Dortmund vs Schalke in Sept.2022. It's a very special game: there is a VERY intense fan rivalry between these two clubs. But Schalke had been relegated to 2nd division for some time. So this is the first time in years that these two arch rivals actually meet. And they do so in the stadium with arguably the best fan atmosphere in Europe.

It’s an awesome sight

This is what homefield advantage means in Europe.

Those are tribal dances and chants, what you see. Europe was full of wars in the last thousands of years, countries or cities against each other battling all the time... The official hate ran out, but it still lives in the sport rivalry. And to answer your question, how can the fans bring the flares and those huge flags.... those are the ultras of each team having separated parts of each stadium, where they are allowed to bring the stuff.... The main sectors are heavily controlled, so you can bring your family to enjoy the game and still leave safelully after no problem...

Soccer is a British word. We all used to call 'Association Football'' ''Socca Football'', to differentiate it from other competing games, like Rugby Football. Eventually the Brits dropped the ''Socca'' part, and the USA dropped the ''football'', but the fact remains that Soccer is a British word for football.
