Football is nothing without the fans. Germans know.

Germany may not have the same level of star power as la liga or the EPL, but it's become my favorite league by a good distance because the passion from the supporters is unmatched. Last year after saving for a few years I had the opportunity to watch a game at signal iduna park (i'm american) and it was unbelievable! I wasn't even a dortmund fan and I had chills at how electric the crowd was (against stuttgart, not even bayern or schalke). Cheers to hoping the activism continues to work and German football stays as passionate and fan driven as it is now!

Just saying: "Football how it's meant to be"

Excellent content Beautifully organised Never fails to satisfy

My country Sweden also has the same rule (51%). Ticket prices for the standing sections is cheap and that creates a very good atmosphere, especially at derbys and at the same time being very well organised. The rule also obviously means that a single owner or company can’t buy a club totally. The supporters here are very passionate about retaining the rule. And yes, whilst the league may never be a competetor for the top 5 leagues, it focusoses heavily on the supporters and what is football without true local supporters?

Now I want a "Püffen" cigarette.

Bundesliga Facebook page has the best admin compared to all leagues.

I sometimes have the feeling that Premier League fans don't really know that german clubs can't spend so much money. At the end of the season the last one in the Premier League gets more money than Bayern as first place in the bundesliga. I'm a Bremen fan and I'm happy when my club is able to do a 5million transfer!! That is lower championship level in terms of money. On the other hand there are Prem clubs which spend 40 million for players who barely play. The Prem is losing it's identity because they only buy complete foreign stars.

I'd like to say that I really enjoy your videos Tifo Football, I'm sure they take a while to make and edit and I really appreciate the hard work, keep grinding

Here in the midst of the Super league scandal. Funny how they wanted to abolish the 50+1 structure, when EPL fans are calling for it to be introduced in England.

I lived in London for many years, became a Tottenham fan in my period there I went to the stadium 3 or 4 times. In Germany I was at a Bundesliga game on my first weekend and I lost count how many times I went to a game

No wonder why German football is so successful with 4 world cups and 3 Euros.....The most successful team in Europe and one of the very best in world football surprassing many great football teams that's why I'm a fan of German football since decades now....❤

If only fans in England could follow suit...

I'm off to Germany next month to watch Dortmund vs Leverkusen - It was cheaper to do so than go down to London and watch Chelsea away....

Power and Money Never Sleeps... That sums the football ownership scenario in all major leagues across the globe...

USA: "Hmmm..., seems like Bundesliga needs some freedom and democracy"

Quality content, as a Liga MX fan, i never knew about this. I assumed the big European leagues all had investors

I see Europe is already getting ready to boycott the super league

Shout out the the £3,500.99 Plymouth argyle ticket. I guess it’s that dear in 2021 because of the quality of football the mighty greens will be playing then.. 😂✌🏻️

what I like about the Bundesliga is that it still seems to be pretty "authentic" meaning that (ok Bayern excluded) all the teams seem to have a period of success (top 3 or very near) and decline when they are near or in the bottom 3 this makes the league interesting to watch and much more reliable on cultivating the "normal" players and making them push for better and better performance because each such a "normal" player turning into a "top" player or at least a gamechanger can mean you are gonna battle for the Europa league or even Champions league depends just on how many such player transformations you will be able to make this also allows teams to continuously introduce young players to the team pushing for them to become the next "top" players and hence securing for the team place in the top 7 (or similar) when also in the same time this gives a big chance for the players from leagues that f.e. Premier league has no interest in f.e. Poland, Czech, Slovak, Swiss, Austrian etc. because in Germany since the clubs do not have 40mils to spend on one player they try their luck with cheaper yet promising players from such countries giving them a change to prove themselves on this level and probably become top players and move to PL or elsewhere - this was not mentioned in the video and I believe is a for a lot of football fans from those countries a national team savior anyways a great video I only can wish the articles on BBC or other websites (not even starting on those from my country - Czech Republic) would be so informative and good to read as this video

"German supporters show that powerful forces can be defeated or at least held at bay by solidarity, organisation, and numbers." And English supporters showed that yesterday. Historic.

Working class prices, safe-standing and pints in ground ❤

i love football for the game and the energy, money will kill that one day as money is draining all of that out of the sport

0:38 is that an ARGYLE ticket??? The video just got even better

No other channel would have explained it so perfect in 8 minutes, love you guys

This channel is so underrated, inspiring content.

Here after ESL failed.

Those animations are an absolute delight. That last transition was so clean. Channel gets better and better.

Amazing video, great content. Keep up the good work. P.S.: Will you do any of those traveling game vlogs you did in the past?

"Because power and money never sleeps" - another brilliant video guys. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Portugal

Good explained and I hope for the next 10-20 years the Bundesliga is the same as today because I dont want it to be like in England especially for the newcoming generation. I see young people enter the stands for their first time and its just unique, the atmosphere in some Bundesliga stadiums are incredible especially when it comes to Derby or just a big match. For me as an Eintracht Frankfurt supporter, this means everything. Our next monday match is at Düsseldorf in march and I dont think that i can make it although Düsseldorf is a great place for an away match especially because of the powerful and emotional supporters on both sides.

That’s it your videos are so good I don’t even follow football (I’ve only watched one full football match in my life during World Cup) and I’m signing up as a member.

Could you do a video on the structure on Borrisia Dortmund? Their transfer model and organisation is outstanding - would love to learn more

Martin Kind wants to abolish 50+1 because of his own personal selfish financial interest.

Anyone here after the demise of the European Shambles League?

Excellent video. Following the German fan activism, you could do a video about FC Sankt Pauli.

This is the best channel ever!

Premier league tickets are completely out of hand. And when you have owners like arsenal do its all an insult to the fans. Dortmund seem to have it right

You guys should do a video on your research process. It goes without saying that your videos are interesting, but the level of detail you uncover, touch on and break down can't be just from Google or someone's memory. I can't be the first person to ask this & I hope I'm not missing something that you've put out previously that goes over this but I figured I'd mention it just in case. Great videos guys & keep up the good work! Cheers from the States.

Do a video on how I can change my passport to German

My club in Norway is adding standing sections in its new stadium aswell, will hopefully make more people join, right now the supporter group is small, despite being right next to the capital (highly populated to be a small country)

Informative as usual

As always: you did a great job covering the issue. I wouldn't say that if I wasn't knowledgeable about the topic myself.

Beer in stadium,standing tickets,atmosphere,best football in the world

Great video & thx for the German fans for battle it so much👍

Can you make a video about the meteoric rise of Robin Jansson? He was playing for a team from the middle of nowhere in the lower tiers of Swedish football 12 months ago, and has now earned a call up to the Swedish national team after his performances during AIK’s title win. AIK, through injuries, found themselves lacking defenders at the start of the season and had played Robin Jansson’s team in the cup, and signed him, and he scored the winner in the last game of the season that won them the league.

Quality videos as ever

The level of research great as usual

Would it be possible to make a video about Vfl Wolfsburg? They are owned by a subsidiary that is wholly owned by Volkswagen Group, but they haven't faced, at least to my knowledge, the animosity that has been directed towards Red Bull Leipzig. And if possible, could you also explain how come Volkswagen hasn't poured more money into the football team, like Red Bull has done with their football teams? I mean, Volkswagen is bigger and richer then Red Bull and they could turn Vfl Wolfsburg into a powerful team, if they wanted to; although that might be the reason why they haven't faced the animosity that Red Bull Leipzig has faced. And as always, great content! Keep up the good work.

Can you do a Tactics Explained of Atalanta B.C. They are doing very well this season.

I don't earn buddy otherwise I would've bought ur membership. I just love ur content. Keep it up and keep us amazed. Love from India♥️♥️

Beautifully done!

Hey Tifo, could you, if don't already, leave a Soundcloud link to the songs in your videos, really jammy!👌

I had a debate on why the house should regret increasing advertisement in sports. And now you guys releasing this video after i lost the debate

German fans are incredible, their passion and love for the game is like no other

Incredible piece!

Bundesliga clubs and games are always better than any other league.

Pls make a video about either: - Number of talents (great players) from ex-Yugoslavia area or - what if Yugoslavia reunite (National team) pls consider this. Thank you from Belgrade, Serbia 🙏

Could you do a video about Safe Standing and the govt reviewing of the all seater policy. Im hearing a decision on whether the policy will change is going to be made sometime this month.

This is so beautiful, thanks Tifo ❤️❤️❤️ Aúpa Atleti ⚪️🔴⚪️🔴

From an outsider's perspective, it seems that English football's supporter strength is an emerging phenomenon at the grassroots level. I'm from the USA but I've heard of FC United of Manchester and AFC Wimbledon, and I keep tabs on the former.

Also they have rules that don't allow clubs to operate on extreme debt/losses, like most, if not all other clubs in the EPL or La Liga do, so that's another plus. The Bundesliga is in a great spot, all their teams need to do is start getting results in Europe (outside of Bayern/Dortmund) and more money will be flowing in. They already broadcast a decent number of games on Fox Sports here in the US.

Please create videos for Asian cup 2019 like you guys did for World cup. Analysis of every group and team players.

How not even your most popular video has not been seen by 1 million people, I will never know...

Well by golly, that sounds like unionizing! Good for them. The revolutionary spirit is alive and well. Solidarity to good football and all unions.

Could you make a video about Hamburgs Tactics in Bundesliga 2.

great video!

Edit: ENGLISH FANS WAKE UP LIKE THE GERMANS! HOLD YOUR OWNERS ACCOUNTABLE!

Got recommended after the European Super League debacle.

Amazing actions by the German supporters. I wish we could do the same in England. I wouldn’t even know where to start.

Very insightful

I love how much Germans care about their league.

Solidarity forever!

Amazing video

It’s actually a two sided coin. We all like that our beloved Bundesliga remains Supporter Friendly but we seem to fall back compared to other leagues. We can’t afford a 50 Million Transfer of a mediocre player nor even a good player. And many talents that have their breakout here, leave eventually to go to England or Spain etc. Well at least I can afford a ticket for the game

I think its ironic how football is an english sport yet the germans seem to love it more than the english themselves

Tifo football! Do one about Greek Football!

I very much respect the research you did and the result you are presenting, which I believe exceeds even your high standards. However I would like to note that I believe you over-romanticize the relation between German fans and officials, as well as the impact of, or what you actually determine as the German supporters. As you have correctly stated, RB Leipzig, effectively a Red Bull Marketing product with which I believe to be seven officiall 'Vereinsmitglieder' (Club members, whereas "Verein" is a very important, community-oriented form of personal union in Germany, differing for example from the "AG" (eg. FC Bayern München AG, the FC Bayern Munich you all know) which is profit-oriented), sneaked it's way to the top of the Bundesliga. The Red Bull Clubs also effectively unginged rules and checks of the UEFA for player transfer (RB Salzburg serving as an "academy team" to RB Leipzig, giving and taking players without the rules of the free market). But allow me to keep my focus on Germany. Additionally to the RB scandal, which is what I will call a company buying themselves into the highest German football league with officials just watching, the relation between German supporters and the DFB (German football association)/DFL (German football league association) is at a significant low at the moment. Monday night games, which I seriously doubt the DFB will keep their word and abolish, the failed negotiations about the use of pyrotechnics, the distribution of TV rights and the fact that the radical "Ultra" groups see themselves as the only "true" fans and representers of German football supporters, making negotiations and the rise of moderate fan groups almost impossible, have hardened the borders between fans and officials to a point where investors seem like the easier and more attractive dialogue partners for the DFB. Additionally, the corruption scandal, which had no consequences at all amongst the DFB officials, has not only weakened the trust put into the association by the fans, but also gives reason to believe that a little cash still opens doors in German football, an accusation enforced by the unreasonably and uncomarably high support from the DFB towards RB Leipzig, the only company-led club in the Bundesliga. Resulting from this statement, I would like to point out that, firstly, the differenctiation between the silent majority of German football supporters and the loud minority of the Ultra groups would, in my opinion, have been a very important point towards the topic of your video, and secondly, that the strong resistance of German football supporters against commercialization of the German Bundesliga is displayed by you in an overly positive way, not respecting the acute dangers we face here at the moment sufficiently, as I see it, that is. I would most politely suggest looking into this topic for another video. Salutations, Angelo Güntlisberger, German football supporter

Please explain to us how to become the manager and their different ranks to get license.

Thank God for Germany .

Can you do a video on the hillsborough disaster

Has tifo done a video on fan fun clubs and how they're fun? Eg fc United of Manchester? And whether they can have a profitable model?

"Pro 50+1 banners and tifos appeared in the terraces" Ron Howard: Hey, that's the name of the page!

The reality is culturally the German are use to working as a collective and naturally defend the little guy. We do not have that culture anymore in the UK, capitism is the foundation of our culture. Always interesting content. Happy New year 🎉

Could you make a video about Kohfeldt?

Best KZfaq channel EVER

I had to chuckle at 2:43: "generisch" is a correct translation of generic, but it would sound very odd if used in an example like this, in German we would rather say "FC Durchschnitt" or FC average, to create an example.

I love how we’re all back here after the super league drama to see if this will actually work

The reason that you can't smoke in English stadiums is the prominent feature of wood in either the structure of designs of the stands. Notably, Margaret Thatcher's arguable only positive action was banning smoking as a result of the valley parade fire

@Tifo Football, can you guys make a video about the rise of Spanish clubs like Barca, Real and Atletico during late 00s and the relation of it to the unequal distribution of revenues in La Liga? Also the scandals of Platini where he said he feared English teams would dominate Europe. Thanks in advance 👌

Never have I seen so many fans of a league who are so happy to keep enforcing a league dominated by one team year in year our.

I wonder what football would be like in the UK / England if it were run on the German model ?? Equally, would the England National Football Team have been more successful with this type of League Structure ?

They have it all good but one big big thing is missing multiple league winners.

numbers organisation solidarity

Can you make Kevin Keegan's The Entertainers?

I doubt the Monday games were abolished because of the fan protests. Rather because of the upcoming third European league (next to Champions and Europa League).

Germany doing it the right way, as per usual

♥️ simply loved it

HOLY SHIT TIFO MENTIONED MY LOCAL TEAM ARGYLE

Come for the football, stay for the smooth jazz.
