Having experienced the way European football fans are passionate about their clubs my whole life, American fan culture seems so commercialised, standardised, and sanitised... I would imagine that having no relegation in your leagues and the owners being able to just relocate the team/franchise to another city at the drop of a hat has something to do with that. Not being fan of a particular club myself, I can still understand how you can be incredibly emotionally invested seeing your local medium-sized club fighting their way from just about avoiding relegation down to 4th league one year, to making it to the 1st league a decade later, having celebrated the wins and mourned the losses in the stadium... but without anything like relegation at stake in US leagues, I can't see that kind of passion coming about.

lmao to answer what you said about "you go to the game, and go home, and life goes on" for us europeans football IS life

My team's stadium is about 110 years old, it was the first cement stadium in South America and we have no issue jumping on it way more intensely than what was shown. Hell, we even have batucadas (a sort of carnival as in Rio's) on the throats of the stadium (the throats are a place where sound gets amplified, it's like a 6 stories high building for cheering, we have 4 of those and they sound amazing). Oh and for those people who don't get it, when I say "my team" I'm not saying "the team I cheer for" nor "the team I like", it's our team, there is no owner, we are the owners the club has members and there are about 100.000 paid memberships which grant you votes in the club government, we have president, gabinet, elections, etc. It's a truly democratic process (more than I can say for any actual government) so it is our team, it cannot change colors, names, mascot, etc. without the fans consent, eat your hearts out Muh'ricans.

Our football clubs are representatives of our towns/villages, playing against a team close by is the modern equivalent of going to war in your face paint and screaming at the enemy before the battle begins to scare them.

For me as European is so interesting to watch these videos where people from USA go through all the health and safety terms and vocabulary while watching atmosphere on European football matches. It's like "wow structural integrity", "you're about to die", "the stadium is on fire"... For us it is completely different, it's passion, tradition passed from father to son, legacy you have to nurture and maintain.

Its interesting man, that point ov view from an US person. I am from Brazil, American football has grown a lot here, as well as basketball. I would say you guys are more at a cerebral level, with numbers, blocks, stats etc. The cheer is usually all organized and stuff. But from Euro and mainly south America (Brazil and Argentina mainly) we have less numbers and care for it (like ball possesion is important) but if a basketball game ends 13-5 its an imense flop. But a 0-0 soccer game can easily be one of the best matches of your team and also be a 4-0 (really high score) with a chill just for fun game. To sum up, "soccer" has people fallen in crazy love, like hardcore stuff. I will tell you this though- being at a full stadium on a important match, is one of the best, most life changing experiences you will ever have. the energy is uncomparable. Having your team team winning a championshig at home... Bro... Its a whole other dimension of family.

Yes jumping at the same time constantly puts immense stress on the structure. However, this is accounted for and the stadiums are built to resist it.

This is why every European knows to never book tickets in the Ultra Sections 😂😂

The pyros are now banned in the stadium. If they appear there, the club will be punished. The European leagues are not closed. The clubs go up and down the leagues. That increases the pressure and the passion. The warlike impression is not misleading. In the Middle Ages, cities and regions fought each other. There are courts today, but the hostilities are still there. Footballfield has replaced the battlefield. But they are still fought outside the stadium in fistfights. These fighters are called hooligans. Of course the police try to prevent this, but they don't always succeed. Europe was and is a continent of wars. Nevertheless, the streets are safer than in the USA because the conflicts are ritualized.

In the UK, one of the fiercest football rivalries is between Manchester United and Liverpool. The rivalry between the cities started because workers in Manchester refused to work with cotton that came from slave plantations, while Liverpool accepted it. Liverpool said slave cotton was all they would get, because Liverpool is a port city, and Manchester is inland. Manchester ended up building a fifty mile canal system all the way to the coast so it could maintain industry without engaging in the slave trade. Karl Marx theorised communism from studying workers in Manchester, and the British suffragette movement started here as well. Manchester has always been at the front of social progress, and is always on the right side of history.

More or less every European football club fans apart from the U.K., the fans will take flairs to the games and set them of in the stands.

Im late to this, but because u were worried about the jumping, statium stands (at least in europe) are build somewhat like skyscrapers, they are designed to withstand as much as possible.

7:29 That’s why Stadiums in Europe where made 100% out of concrete like in the old Roman Empire Era.

Nah man it's not just a game over here 😂

In Europe we used to have a war every 50 years. Now we became tired of that sport, so we changed it to Football.

Makes me never want to go to a US stadium This dude makes it seem like their stadiums could break down at any moment 😂😭

By refined you mean... Commercialised... And did you notice the other 90% of the stadium in Greece where there were no flames at all? You are seeing 5, 6 minutes of hundreds of games... The only real difference between US and European fans is that US fans seem to like to chant USA! USA! no matter the relevance.... Europeans will only chant the name of their respective countries when their national teams play.

Well as a German let me explain some things. First of all that shit isn't fire. It's normally people who light some kind of torches you use for planes and shit like that. Secondly no the buildings are not affected if all the people are jumping up and down. We actually know how to build xD

plus engineering in Europe have to deal with allot of safety rules, if they break those rules that would result in heavy fines that can go up in millions off euro's/dollar.

There are videos you see the structure of the stadium shaking like it takes off

His reaction to pyro is typical american. Difference between the two is : EU: passion, past on from father to son. Usa: fake… Made , doesnt come From the Heart.

He will cry about being offended through the entire video so I hope he doesn't

This may already have been mentioned before, but the video with Aris fans (Thessaloniki, Greece) is actually from a basketball game.

7:32 The grandstand is made of concrete so it is absolutely save since it is only the K-block so only a "small" area in the Stadium

You definitely need to checkout the "offensive football crowd chants" very little is off limits, as Adam Johnson "who got sent down for noncing" found out. Nothing like 70,000 fans abusing the opposing team.

in stadiums like benfica and dortmunds, when they jump up and down like that it registers as an earthquake on the ritcher scale

You have a very good radio presenter voice! Greetings from Germany (Europe 😉)! 🤗

They once tried to make a halftime show during the cup final in Germany, by a popular singer here. She got booed the entire 15 minutes, they never did it again.

America: Yeah I got some tickets this weekend, I think I'm gonna go with my family Europe: We will fight whether it be life or death

Man, do you know what fun is? Have you ever been like...happy?

Just laughed the entire time because the lack of knowledge is insane "its on fire" bsjsjsk with a condescending tone while he is just so wrong

The fire you see are flares you can just put them on and hold them in youre hand

The thumbnail of the "American" side is actually an image of the Emirates Stadium, the home of Arsenal Football Club in London England.

Watch Liverpool's You'll never walk alone in Australia

In europe u live for the game, its passion, its pride

It doesn't bring down our buildings. Not like in the US where a small wind blows down a whole city that is build with wood. :) Do not take me too serious. :)

It's like introducing Captain Holt to "sports" as a concept

Stadiums are adapted to such mass movements and they have really strong structural integrity, yet, there have been some tragic incidents in older / bad quality stadiums.

In Europe it's tribal. Lots of passion and history behind many of these clubs.

“This one here their lighting shit on fire bro”

When you talk about "dangerous" I remember one of the most dangerous country to see a game on the stadium a few years ago it was the Hooligans fans in United Kingdom 🇬🇧. The government had to ban them from the stadiums, because they do everything least watch the game

They are using flares and it’s very well controlled.

Shhheeeeeeesh your camera is so goodd

En EEUU el aficionado sigue más a las estrellas que a sus propios equipos, incluso las franquicias cambian de ciudad y eso no supone ningún problema para la ciudad en sí y para el aficionado. En Europa el deporte es parte de nuestras vidas y es un sentimiento que solo pueden entenderlo en Sudamérica. Yo soy español, pero tanto en mi país, cono pueda ser en Alemania, Francia, Inglaterra o Grecia, si un club cambiara de ciudad porque su propietario así lo quisiese, se armaría una guerra, pues el aficionado Europeo es muy fiel a su club.

If you want to go with your kid you buy seats in the family corner, away from hard core fans (fan clubs are seated in a designated area). In between should be „non-designated“/general seats. Maybe just avoid games where they play a rival/team your club hates as a first outing.

the stadiums in europe are made for that crazyness. they can support really a lot

the 'fire' that you see in the european videos is called pyro, it is totally harmless and it is just like smoke

US sport is so diluted and commercialised, South American and European football is built on a bedrock of community and passion. There's no contest, the noise, the flares, the chants, can't beat it.

There is so much energy to participate in.
