It's funny how with football it's a roll reversal with u guys, Americans are known for being loud, and the British quiet and reserved, until sporting events where we become crazy and you guys become respectful and quiet 😁

One of my greatest moments was starting a chant at Wembley when my team was at a playoff final. I had a good idea, had enough beer to be confident enough to sing it loudly, and everyone around me joined in. 10 seconds later, 60,000 people have joined in and it echoed around the stadium. Good Times.

The Jimmy Saville chants kill me,they are by no means tame! I’ve seen lots of guys from the US say “Poor Jimmy Saville,what’s this guy do?” Comedy gold when they read the comments 🤣

"I'm England till I die" is based on the theme song of an old sitcom about patients in a hospital "Only when I laugh".

The National Anthem one was at a game in France!. The 'You're s hit but your birds are fit' was taunting the Swedish fans ..... 'you're team is rubbish but your women are gorgeous'

I find it so strange that Americans are shocked by bad language or nudity but, seem ok with mass shootings and violent crimes in general.

National anthems are sung prior to international games and finals like yesterday's FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea (both teams have German managers) - Liverpool won. Congratulations to Ukraine for winning the Eurovision Song Contest BTW. Thanks for uploading, ladies. 😎😁🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦

"Bird" is a modern version of the old English word "burd" (first coined in the 13th century) meaning "maiden". Over the years its spelling changed from burd to bird because it sounded like the more familiar word, bird, so it ended up being spelled like it too. It's possible that "burd" could also be the result of a 12th-century semantic shift from the Old English word brȳd, meaning bride. "Fit" just means attractive.

Tail gateing has a total different meaning in the UK, and the chanting starts when you wake up on match day stops when you fall asleep or locked up or go to a&e , it's so much fun xxxx

In England/ Britain the national anthems are reserved for special occasions. They are only played at cup finals and national team matches. Historically because members of the royal family would attend.

Great reactions girlies. Two reasons Argentina aren't liked much, 1, Falklands,2, Maradona who cheated us out of the world cup with a handball into the goal.

Chants become common over time, yes. But bear in mind chants are developed 1) with generally simple words and 2) to commonly known tunes. Seriously, you can pick up most of our chants before you finish hearing it for the first time. That's one of the beauties of them - they sound great (especially if insulting enough) but can be picked up by everyone quickly.

Some chants are specifically aimed at a single team and last for years, some chants just get a persons name changed to keep the current, some are spontanious and start with a small group and spread - dont forget the lyrics are pretty simplistic and usually based on a well known tune.

Who's excited about our Surprise Extra Episode on Tuesday???

These chants can appear anywhere, before, during or after a game in any venue

Ok we get it now Birds=Girls! Hope you enjoyed our first time reaction! And don't miss our Special Surprise Tuesday episode! Please hit the Like button and have an amazing day! 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

Tailgating isn’t a thing here. Stadiums are usually in built up areas. Lots are actually close to residential area, in the case of my team, Newcastle United our Stadium, St James’ Park is in Newcastle City Centre. The culture is pubs and bars before and after games.

I got a laugh out of that one, gotta love the kid in the lift. Most of these are specific to the match baiting the foriegn teams fans. It's a biggest noise competition. You may consider reacting to the unofficial England team anthem " three lions on the shirt ".

We know what "birds" are now! Please be respectful in the comments. As we said, we went with this more tame version & didn't react to the other because we just didn't want to! Don't forget the Special announcement at the beginning! Thanks for watching ❤️

Us British honestly are just a different species 😂😂

National anthems are usually sung at international games. Most of the scens you watched were of England fans on tour. We have a reputation for always having the most travelling fans in every sport we play. Cheers from the UK!

Not really into football so I didn’t know 99% of these, but they were funny! I did a gig in a club after a World Cup game in July 2021 when England won 4-0, so we played ‘We Are The Champions’ as the last song. That was a very epic moment! See you Tuesday 🙂

Please, please, please do the other video (without watching it first)!!!!!!! The Munster song is hilarious, plus any chants against Adam Johnson are good ones!😀😀😀😀

I love your reactions - and this was no exception! I have been going to football matches since I was a small child (I'm now 61) and football chants have always been a part of the game .... I love them (even when they are a bit risque!!) I lived in the city of Norwich & our local rivals were the town of Ipswich - one of the chants that used to be used against them was "We've got a Cathedral!" .... childish, but funny at the time! Also, if someone had fainted & had to be taken out of the crowd by the Red Cross, the crowd would often make the ambulance siren sounds (nee-naw nee-naw) as the poor volunteers arrived! (not when someone was obviously seriously unwell) .... it's a real cultural experience to go to British football matches!!) 😂

Another great reaction video ladies, if you want to see a full stadium singing together try Liverpool FC fans singing "You'll never walk alone" in Melbourne , Australia. It's epic.!

Has anyone suggested the annual Gloucestershire cheese rolling? It's a fun watch! Love the channel ❤️

Some of these take place in fan parks during tournaments, like the world cup. Also this is the England nationall team, you will see people doing this in pubs and other venues when the team plays. There are some videos showing people's reactions.

Ignore if I've repeated. 1. One will start the song, the next guy joins in then so on. 2. The anthem isn't usually sung, unless it's against another country

Eng-Brit here - love your reaction vids - this one was just great!

I haven't lived in England for 21 years so I've never heard any of those chants, but I'm also not a football fan, but enjoyed your reactions 😉

We usually play both countries national anthems during international tournaments before a game, but not normal clubs. Also football chants are usually just catchy tunes that most people know already, but with words adapted (usually on the fly) for that particular game or reserved for that particular team we're currently playing ((usually hated arch rivals). It's just someone with a big foghorn of a voice and a lot of beer in them that shouts out, and 20 people round him will pick it up and chant, which then expands to 100s more.

The chants we make up on the spot so one person will start something and everyone will catch on

National anthem is only played before international games, league team’s normally have their own tune played as the player’s get onto the pitch.

Loved it as always, Bring on the Tuesday. Coffee time.

Basically, you take any popular melody that every one knows, make something up that's funny and then keep singing it out, if it's good others will join in and it just spreads, if it's a particularly good one it'll stay all night, typically the melodies chosen are from classic songs closely related to football from the past. Sometimes you get like one guy who is like the conductor and basically leads the orchestra haha

Because football is the counties main sport really and fans get very passionate and the singing is pretty amazing, most football clubs have thier own songs each teams fans sing.

Bird means girl/woman like chick =bird so the chant Your birds are fit but your football's shit translates to " We find the ladies of your country are rather attractive but alas dear fellows your football seems to be less than perfect.

none of the things shown in this video are what you would call too dramatic or offensive, there's a lot worse than that, and certain teams in europe have fan groups known as 'ultras' who take mob violence and football chants to a totally different level, and while it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be here in the UK (for the most part), in certain countries in europe they have some pretty bad reputations, romania is a well known one, there's a few in greece, and several in germany/italy, it's partly due to these old fan groups that used to cause a lot of damage and physical harm to rival fans and such that we have segregated fan areas, and why you will never see a stadium full to capacity with rival fans next to home fans, there's always a set amount of space between fans where no seats are allowed to be sold when it comes to international games, for domestic league games there's a few stadiums where they have set seats for away fans (generally newer stadiums), older stadiums have 'away ends' that are policed by marshals and the police itself on match days to keep fans apart.

10:40 If you liked that you should check out both Scotland and Welsh fans singing theirs anthems. In terms of if we sing before games, I believe it depends on the game itself (like the competition). I haven’t watch football in 9 years though haha. In ice hockey over here, we do though. No matter the game.

Best one I ever heard was when Wigan played Forest Green Rovers (a team with a Vegan policy!). One FGR player was tackled and stayed down on the pitch. The crowd chanted “ That Vegan bastard, he’s eating our grass”. As a supporter of Charlton Athletic, I don’t often have much to celebrate, but at one game I was at, Charlton were playing the top team in the division, and no other team had scored more than one goal against them so far that season. The score got to 5-1 against Charlton, who then scored again, prompting a chant of “Easy, Easy, we want three”!! The best ones are not only funny but spontaneous and unique.

6:20 Birds = girls. 8:09 Normally our chants are songs or hymns that someone’s changed the lyrics too to fit the situation, a majority of people will know the tune and then pick up the changed words. 11:10 I think we do in big games but I don’t think so in smaller games (sorry if I’m wrong) 13:50 this is definitely a tame version because as watchers get progressively more dr#nk they lose there filter and go wild 15:03 there have been lots of fights (but I am unsure if thing have gotten so bad someone’s d!ed) normally you do have to be careful because depending where you are you could get attacked or harmed by the opposite team 15:19 they have to keep them separated because some people are so invested in there team that they would fight anyone who supported a different team and it might become serious quickly, it also help with chants 19:47 actually I think that the chants shown where either in the game or before it eg. ‘I’m England till I die’ and ‘we’re on the p!$$ and we’re having a laugh’ 20:27 yes lots of chants and dr!nking going on when your walking there and waiting outside and in car parks

Hello ladies, did you know England and The U.S.A are playing each other at this year's world cup in Qatar in december. Maybe you could do a livestream watchalong, I'll get the beers and pizza in 😘

I've been trying to get football tickets for the last 3 months...the atmosphere is amazing at a live game.

For international games we do the anthem before every game while the players line up!

If you like the national anthem being sung, check out it being sung before the Army v Navy rugby match at Twickenham 😎

The spontaneity of chants can vary. A few are very much of the moment. Others are rather generic and simply spread around different clubs, and the national team. The ‘Don’t take me home’ chant was originally sung by Newcastle fans at away games. ‘Vardy’s on fire’ was originally sung by Wigan fans about Will Grigg. ‘Cheer up Gordon Strachan’ is one that’s been adapted loads. Again originally Newcastle fans, in the mid 90s directing it at Peter Reid then manager of Newcastle’s local rivals Sunderland

Great fun watching that with you girls, fair play for giving it a go. :>)

Love the reaction to this, yep this one was fairly mild compared to some but maybe watch others in your own time, looking forward to tuesday (love the T shirt as well) :)

If we sing the national anthem like that we all stand up as it basically an unwritten rule. Even royalty stands up to salute the Queen.

When it comes to chants a small group will start it but more people listen laugh then join in

Humour is chaotic. Its effects are not permanent. It does not require monitoring.

Really enjoyed this video. Roll on Tuesday 👏

I would prefer as our national anthem land of hope and glory as I would suspect a lot of other British people.

Loved your reaction ladies. Don't take me home was a song all teams at Euro 2016 all teams sang. It was amazing to hear it sang by so many people. Im off to Wembley next Sunday to watch Wrexham play in the FA Trophy Final.

Fun videos lady's loving them I'm a Londoner 😊 very interesting to see both your reactions and thoughts 👌🏼👏🏼

"You're shit, but your birds are fit!" >>> "You're useless at this game, but your women are very attractive!".

The England Cricket team fans are called the Barmy Army, you should give them a look, especially when they are touring Australia they have a huge range of songs and chants which are funny and aimed at the Australians or Convicts as we refer to them and the Penal Colony they now inhabit., A lot of these chants are sang at club games with slightly altered lyrics

They would just laugh at you if you went in shouting USA USA 🇺🇸

I know this is about English football chants, but a fun one we Scots did was when we played the mighty Italy some years ago. One myth that was turned to reality was that we deep fry anything - even Mars Bars. This urban myth was actually made real, and now the deep fried Mars Bar is hugely popular. Anyway! We were playing them in Italy and we keep singing to them, "Deep fry your pizzas! We're gonna deep fry your pizzas". And now, deep fried pizzas is a thing, and you get it by ordering a "piiza crunch" in Scottish chip shops.😉

That video was the world cup chants, the first one was pre-game btw as were most of the other street ones. The actual best football chants are the normal games, one or two of them are a little close to the bone covering certain taboo subjects, if you know the backstories to them they can be amusing but to the average person not so much. A fair few of the chants are pre rehearsed by a group of fans but there are some that are totally on the fly. As for the separation of the fans, that is/was a real problem because of the “Firms”(groups of hardcore fans), they used to contact each other before a game to set up a massive brawl which usually involved “Tooling Up”(arming themselves with weapons) one of the worst weapons was the 50pence piece which has 7 edges, 6 of them were filed down as sharp as blades then you would hold it between your thumb and middle finger with your index finger on the flat edge and you would throw it at someone like skipping a stone on a lake. Sorry if this was too long I got carried away LoL if you really want to know what the football fans used to be like, watch Green Street, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins) was in it.

The ones about not going home and Please don’t take me home are at tournaments so it’s in reference to winning and staying in the tournament. You lose you get knocked out and go home. Also national anthem is played before international games.

We will literally chant about anything.

It honestly is done on the fly, one person sings it and then there is a very fast chain reaction, like a vocal mexican wave, and everyone in that half of the stadium is singing. There are also standard chants when fans are in their own stadium. I There is always an element of truth in the chants as well. Unfortunately, there has been violence at football grounds especially between two local rival sides but it is a lot rarer now than it used to be. The fans are split as a result. In Rugby everyone sits wherever so it is mixed. I was at a game once and it was 48 - 0 with my team winning with 10 minutes to go. Two guys in front of me were totally surrounded by fans from my team and one shouted down to the players 'come on guys we could still win this!' The rest of us were in fits and bought them both a drink and a mars bar. That's what it's like at a rugby match, you feel totally safe.

Liverpool fans (hate them but this made me laugh) sang about 6’7” Peter Crouch: He’s big He’s red His feet stick out the bed……Peter crouch,Peter crouch

One person will start a chant and then everyone else will join in x

Chants go on throughout the game

The German bombers chant was actually filmed at an England away game in Germany. It might have been at the World Cup

To answer a couple of your questions and extra info, we have chants in each team that the fans know like liverpool manchester chelsea ect (teams in england including the national team) And yes some chants will happen on the fly when something happens in the game or if something has happened on the news people will chant (this is where the chants usually get spicy) but everyone who hears it joins in and then it spreads. and because england play all over europe a lot of our clips are either in england or wherever the team is playing in europe. For a european game every football player will go and play for their home team (where they were born) to showcase the best players each place has (england, brazil, madrid, germany, italy, egypt ect) which is where the national pride comes from. also yes we have party's in the street like the first clip after a win or before an international game and a lot of the time its outside the stadium just wherever we are. And i did a couple of translations for any americans watching, birds = women, fit = attractive, on the piss = out drinking. hope it helps much love

the national anthem isn't sung at local games but at international events it is.

Not a big football fan, but enjoyed the reaction! Should for sure check out the Shrovetide Football though, you wont have seen anything like it in the US :)

You two are all some you always make me laugh you are a breath of fresh air god bless you both

It's at a football tournament where supporters go abroad and watch matches at a fan zone either at the world cup or European championship

That was great, glad you went for the softer chants, I have heard other that wouldn't suit this channel. Luv ya, stay safe.

My favorite chant of all time, referenced Bobby Zamora, of Brighton & Hove Albion fame, who developed a habit of spooning the ball into orbit, rather than scoring a sitting goal: *To the tune of 'Amore' 'If you're in row Z. And the ball hits your head. That's Zamora...'

loved this video thank you ladies

Great vid ladies, I am a Queen fan too and am off to see Queen and Adam Lambert at the o2 Arena next month. I can’t wait xx

The “Don’t take me home” chant was sung during the England/Iceland game in Euro 2016 (a European tournament) just before Iceland scored the winning goal to everyone’s shock

The football chants do get a bit Jingoistic and toxic. I would recommend checking on the history of football hooliganism to understand the separate stands (the few spoiling it for the many)

I loved watching this and seeing your reactions. Made me think back to the days when I used to go to football matches. I'm originally from East London and now live in Perth, Western Australia so don't really get the chance to go any more. There are some talented people out there who do indeed make up songs on the spot and get everyone (fellow supporters) to sing in unison, usually having a dig at one of the opposing teams players or manager. Coming from East London usually means that if your into soccer you support either West Ham, Tottenham or Arsenal as they are the nearest teams geographically. Most of my family were a mix of West Ham (Hammers), Tottenham Hotspurs (Spurs) or Arsenal (The Gunners) fans. One of my favourite chants of all time which goes to the tune of 'My Old Man Said Follow The Van' (a true cockney sing-song) has the following words... My old man said be an Arsenal fan I said 'F*ck off, bollox you're a c*nt This can be sung by Spurs supporters to Arsenal fans OR it can be sung to Spurs supporters by Arsenal fans and they just say Tottenham instead of Arsenal. I like the friendly rivalry and humour when it is all done in the name of fun, not the hooliganism. I've been to some London derby games where things have gotten violent and it is not pretty. Keep up the great work ladies

Great video! I’m British and can confirm, these are very tame. Most of the chants you heard are common across the country, but you can vary the words slightly (according to the situation) that’s how everyone can sing along and catch on to the new chant. With regards to “we’re not going home” that’s not as in we’re not going home to bed, it’s referencing a tournament/ cup in a knockout stage. As in, we’re still in the competition, and we’re not going home (yet!) These were all quite small groups of people chanting. Usually there’s thousands of people all in unison. We are also not allowed to sit next to each other due to fights and in the past unfortunately… murders 😢 People pre drink in the streets and in pubs before the game starts. The partying will continue into the night. In World Cup games, it’s not uncommon to see people partying in the streets for 2-3 days after the game.

The other version is so funny tho 😩

Glad you picked this one. Much easier to watch. As always you were fabulous 👌

tion! Just thought I’d add a bit more info. You mentioned how these seem like away games. Some notable countries seen in this video were away games/tournaments in Germany (multiple cities), Ireland, Scotland, France and South Africa (?). The video of the national anthem was during the 2016 European Championship in France and varying reports estimated between 250,000 and 500,000 England fans went over for the tournament. Also, the German Bombers chant was sung in Germany during the 2006 World Cup hosted there👍🏼

Loved it. The last one I was not aware of. There are other chants out there with a deeper sentiment. Worth checking out if you're happy to do the research.

Singing is global in football (and other sports) with all fans creating offensive, rude and political lyrics. Also, there are many funny songs and chants. Certain rivalries are more virulent than others: Brazil/Argentina, Holland/Germany and so on.

Hard to tailgate when theres no parking.... plus the police escort fans away

Usually a couple.of people at the back.of the stands start the chant and then everyone joins in. They are all easy well known tunes so easy to pick up.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, it love to see you do a reaction video to the Eurovision Song Contest. It was last Saturday... absolutely bonkers!!! ...you'd love it!!

The national anthem would have been played at yesterdays FA cup final but not at a normal game.

Proud to support England 💪 Come on lads! 🇬🇧

"I know I am I'm sure I am" is from an old TV show "Only When I Laugh" (I'm H.A.P.P.Y. I'm H.A.P.P.Y I know I am I'm sure I am I'm H.A.P.P.Y...) Probably most here have no idea of its origin.

"Is she drunk?" You'll fit right in. 😂

If you ever come over I will take you to a football match as long as it's at the molineux to watch the mighty wolves love and peace from Wolverhampton England

If you think this is vulgar and hardcore, do NOT watch any chants from the balkans 😂

For a tame reaction. Watch sunshine on leith which is a Hibernian song. They hadn’t won a trophy in years and the emotions following their win brings a lump to the throat. As many have said you’ll never walk alone at Liverpool is special too.

Nice reaction you had to us Singing our national anthem. Away match’s in uk are a good day out as it’s not all about the 90 minutes of football

The term "birds" for young ladies is not as derogatory as some may think. It's the same word as "bride", and in the Middle Ages no one would have confused it with a word for a feathered animal. Different dialects of English transposed the r and i, creating two words out of one as printing came to standardise spelling.

Watch USA fans v British fans chanting. You will cringe. Also November 26 England v USA in the world cup. Do a watch along.

Some reference: 1st one was pre-match away in the streets 3rd one, bird is slang for girls General, some are made up on the spot but majority are already made Also: you think these are bad?! They are so much worse when it’s individual clubs More: the national anthem is sung at every international game

There’s so much for you guys to react to at the minute haha! FA cup final, Sam ryder at Eurovision and the queens platinum jubilee
