In Europe we don't have bleachers. The stadiums and stands are made of solid, yet flexible concrete.

I was lucky enough to be in the Signal Iduna Park When travelling through Germany from Australia to watch Dortmund play with 80,000 others - amazing atmosphere.

In Germany, the grandstands have always been built to be so stable. There were grandstand collapses in various countries until the 1980s, resulting in many deaths. Afterwards, very strict new building standards were set. There have not yet been any collapsed grandstands in Germany.

There is another video from Frankfurt where you can actually see the upper deck moving up and down with the chant. It was of course made to do that; otherwise, it would be in danger of collapsing. Still, it‘s rather disturbing and exciting at the same time to see it.

Not only European clubs appear in the video, Boca Juniors and San Lorenzo are clubs from Argentina. (argentina is in south america).

The melody of the Eintracht Frankfurt chant is actually taken from a children's TV series theme song (Pippi Langstrumpf). Doesn't sound quite as menacing in the original version 😄

Liverpool and celtic both sing the fields of athenry which is a quintessential irish song, its about the famine under english oppression. Crazy thing about this song is i swear anyone in the world you go to an irish pub during a football game and the entire pub will be singing it. Ive been to pubs in trukey, tunisia, japan, spain etc

Again, here for some context! First one is Dynamo Dresden from former GDR, today a part of Germany, deep east Germany that is. They bounce up and down between the second and third tier of German football and are probably the best supported third tier team in the world, period. Their support is just incredible and even amongst the German football scene, they are well respected as being fierce! Second one is Boca Juniors from Buenos Aires, singing a chant against River plate, their biggest rivals. Basically they mock them for having played a year in Argentina's second division for the first time in their team's history. Boca and River are by far the biggest clubs in Argentinian football and their rivalry is beyond passionate. "Monumental" is River's stadium where there broke fires at the riots after River got relegated. A fact that Boca are sure to let them not forget Next one is Celtic from Glasgow, singing how they won the European cup of Champions in 1967. Pretty cool chant! Next up is Olympique de Marseille in a match against Paris SG, a club that they hate with a passion. This is their most famous chant, in a "repeat after me" kind of style. Super iconic chant At 3:30 it's Millwall FC. Millwall is a part of London and they were known as a "hooligan" club back in the 80's. They maker fun of themselves here, but also making fun of all the rest of England for being scared and full of hatred for Millwall. The "Den" is the name of their stadium. This particular clip is in an away game and there it must be so much more satisfying to sing this chant! After them, it's Ajax Amsterdam with a famour clip among the Internet. It's right next to their stadium, in a "tunnel" and they just go mad and have fun. Next up; San Lorenzo, also form Buenos Aires. Not much to say here except that this chant is just literally dope. Such a cool vibe with that chant After them, Liverpool FC, one of THE most well-known clubs in the world. Bob Paisley and Bill Shankley are legends of the club, far back in history. Then there is Eintracht Frankfurt, one of the best supported clubs of Germany. In the beginning you can hear the "Capo" (the guy with the megaphone coordinating the support) shouting that everybody shall put their arms onto each other and get ready to jump. And well, then they jump and it looks just cool. Last one is Galatasaray from Istanbul with thei infamous war chant right before the game starts. As you can hear, the music comes from the stadium speakers, so it's their traditional walk-in or right befor ewalk-in thing. Everyoine waving their scarves looks awesome!

Can you imagine being the architect for one of the venues. Thinking about hallway with and crowd flow, stair gradients and how many people the stand would hold. And then realizing they'll be jumping in unison during chants.

LOL, This is normal in Europe. I live in Holland but am in Serbia often....the derbies between Partians and Red Star are epic! (Partizan fan here) Also in Holland...yeah Europe knows how to support their team :D

That was fun to watch! Lots of love from Northern Germany.❤

As people mentioned earlier; the melody to the Eintracht Frankfurt chant is from the world famous Pippi Longstockings childrens book, filmed in the 70s in Sweden. The author was from Sweden. Astrid Lindgren.

I did not know Eintracht Frankfurt sings an iteration of the Pipi Langstrumpf song. It´s is from a childrens movie. The target audience is 5 year olds.

A couple from Canada that travels all over the world, always comes back to Romania for football games. They love it😂

The Millwall vid (No one likes us), is an away game for the Millwall fans from South East London. A nice friendly club!

Hello from Andalucía, Spain. You should be the Sevilla FC'song. All the people singing the " Himno del centenario", is really amazing.

If I'm not mistaken, Joel, you were not able to attend a top tier football match on either of your European sojourns so far. On your next trip you must try to schedule your travel itinerary to coincide with a decent fixture.

Iam from Berlin in germany we Love your club and stay every time behind them

Once there was that awesome match between Bodø/Glimt vs Roma, conference league, it was epic because our Norwegian little sokker club feat Roma 6to1😃not just the crowd got mad of joy , the commenter as well😁

You should watch a handball match THW Kiel versus Flensburg, it's always an experience. Greets from northern Germany, fan of Borussia Dortmund.

The craziest are Red star- Partizan derbys...Man when you go there once you never froget and just gotta go again

Nice Videos from Germany (respect)☺

This always reminds me of some sort of tribe rituals before fighting in a battle. 😅

In the Netherlands the cup final is always in the Feyenoord stadium, “de kuip” (the bowl, the tub) hard to accurately translate but it is a very old stadium, built during the depression (the 1930s) and it has some play in it. Anyway, my team (Vitesse) has won 1 prize (the cup) in all its years and eventhough we had only officially 1/3rd of the seats (1/3 neutral and 1/3 for the opponent, there were very many of us (as we never won anything this was our chance) so likely 2/3rds were ours and when we unexpectedly won the game (by turning it around in the last part) the stadium exploded, I have never seen it shake like that. Immensely proud feeling. But, you keep saying it would be fun to be there, that is wrong, it is not fun, it is a deeper feeling. Maybe not all of that to be proud off, but a lot of emotion is in it, not light fun.

Eintracht Frankfurt in fact has two anthyms, the official one and the unofficial one. Both are very nice to listen to.

Joel did say that British people can make chants out of anything.

Come over and check it out live, it´s another level to actually be there.

the fact that you r interested in europe and culture makes u like 1 lvl above average americans. :) love to see

And that is also why you don't argue with a European if it's called "Football" or "Soccer". Chances are high they are a fan and then chances are high they are as passionate about it as you just saw.

I´m a spaniard and when we go to a football match we go to war dude spceally on Champions times it´s a tourment that include the best europeans clubs from a lot of countries, you go to a football match to defend your people, your colors, your history, your country!

The Frankfurt one was best, singing to the tune of Pippi Longstocking. 🤣

Just watched your reaction to volker pispers, you really got to react to some george carlin stand ups, especially those about religion

Just so you know, that thumbnail is from the USA. That is Section 8 Chicago, one of the main supporter groups for Chicago Fire FC. I would know. Its my hometown club lmao. Toyota Park in Bridgeview is where that was take, i believe in 2009 against the New England Revolution lol

As other comments already explained, their not exactly bleachers but stands. Thats why a lot of concerts in germany tend to happen in football stadium.

Millwall is in London, just south and are notoriously rough all around. Celtic is Scottish (a part of Glasgow), and there is great rivalry between some clubs, violent skirmishes and many of the local scottish matches spawned the razor gangs where fans got into fights and got given the Glasgow Smile. Look it up. Football fans are a breed of their own

Good Reaction,My Friend. That MILLWALL from London video was Away from Home in The Midlands and the reason for some empty seats around them was strict segregation between them and the Home fans which why they, purposefully,lrft some seats empty. That was a Second Tier game.

Newcastle v PSG in new european season was fantastic the crowd were fantastic they beat PSG 4-1 the highlights are on YT,

Actually two clips were the national anthem before the match so of course more people will sing (the French anthem and the Romanian). But yeah, European chants (and probably South American ones as well) are a different tier.

greetz from germany!

you need to be commited fully to any of these causes to really experience it, My team is BWFC in England....we have a loud firm, ya should check us out, your always welcome in these parts.

@6:31 It is german fooball fans from Frankfurt if I am not mistaken. It does sound a little cheesy that they use the melody from Pippi (Longstockings)Långstrump

Alot has changed in Germany since the walls come down, that was wayyy back when germany was still split....as u can hear them chanting ost deutschland (east germany)

Liverpool - You’ll never walk alone 🩷

Les atmosphères de certains clubs en Algérie,Maroc et Tunisie sont dingue comme certains stades en Turquie

Eintracht Frankfurt .... Hey Eintracht Frankfurt....Shallalla ... Hey Eintracht Frankfurt...Shallalala....Grüße in die USA...from SGE Eintracht Frankfurt :-) Geiles Video 🙂

don‘t know about how it is in other European countries but in Switzerland the ones on the left lane go to the far left and all the others go to the far right. actually as soon as the traffic goes slow or you get to a traffic jam, we are supposed to ‚drive‘ like this.

My man! Nice video, although the second team Boca Juniors or CABJ as well as San Lorenzo or CASLA, are both from Argentina, not Europe. Have a good one!

do a video about German Ultras-Chants only, you will not regret that. The energy hits different heheh best regards from Germany ;)

I’m not that big of a football fan but I often watch Eintracht games (cause I’m from Frankfurt and play Tennis at Eintracht Frankfurt Tennis) but I know that Eintracht Fans are more of the crazier ones in Germany so it’s fun to see Eintracht in this compilation.🙂

The Frankfurt Part was a chill Part they are more aggressive😂

millwall is south of london. if i remember right the movie Green Street Hooligans with elijah wood is depicting a hooligan war with participation of millwall hooligans

Millwall ... Green street hooligans great movie 👍

A more accurate translation for San Lorenzo, the Pope's team as he grew up in Boedo, Buenos Aires, Argentina. They say that we are out of our minds But San Lorenzo pay no interest We drink pure red wine straight from the bottle And we smoke all the marijuana.

Lmao ' die holländer ' 👍😂i ilke the 'käseköppe' !! Im not a football fan ... but the atmosphere is one of kind ! That's what I really miss when im watching american sports events ! No matter witch sport even in 2nd or 3rd league games in whole europe are more atmosphere .. but I think it's because of the ticket prices ! Last game (icehockey) i watched was 20 bucks ! But I have to say this packed stadiums always reminds me of the Hillsborough disaster kzfaq.info/get/bejne/maqPebWer9vDd58.htmlfeature=shared

Should listen to a danish one!

you have to see some of dortmund

thank you for saying football.

Try Hungarian football ⚽️ flairs, fireworks, Budapest local Derby unbelievable .😊

There is another Video from Eintracht Frankfurt where you can really see how the Stadium is moving when so many people jump: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ep-HgJSmmr_bcps.html

Greetings from germany :)

British football chants are the best in the world also I used to be a football fan.

Boca junior is in south america .. you looks like Paul Dena a french mma fighter :D you are twin but you don't know it

Millwall have the reputation as being the most violent fans in England. They were having their ground closed in the 1930s because of crowd violence. They come from the docklands in London and dockers work hard and play hard

5:30 the pope supports san lorenzo if i'm not mistaken

you should go watch ultras world of the week (7-13 aug its epic)

Please react to chant Lens les corons

You should check out the Balkan teams

the Real crazy thing about the first chant from Dresden... they're not even in the first division in Germany... they're in 3rd division!!!

Watch Broussia Dortmund from Germany

you have to watch ac milan fans or the derby atmosphere

Now you know why there is a relation between football and fire protection in europe

Millwall is a football club from London. Mainly known for its hooligan-fanbase

Ultras for life

I was just wondering why you don't react to Aussie stuff anymore?

Frankfurt was better in there. You should look up their performances. I am partial since I am from there, living in Pittsburgh now, but man do I miss the stadium!

Funfact for the first one: This is the THIRD division in germany. The THIRD :D

Frankfurt in Barcelona

"American Reacts to EUROPEAN Football Chants & Atmosphere!" 2nd club: Boca Juniors.....

you look like young Max Kruse

Olympique de Marseille et le RC Lens et saint Étienne en France 🇫🇷 sûrement les meilleures ambiances de France et d’Europe

Watch the video: Chemie Leipzig vs. Eintracht Frankfurt from the channel Sport im Osten. What you in this video is friendship between two clubs but it looks like Ragnarök 🤩

Try the same thing only basketball USA v Europe

You have to keep in mind that some of these teams like Dresden aren’t ebenen a First division club 😂

u can‘t imagine standing in there u feelin like a fvcking viking

The best fans of the world is in germany in the 2 leuge came 30000 fans . Stimmung gibt es nur bei uns in Deutschland von der 1-3 liga , guck Hannover - Braunschweig , dan weisst du was abgeht

4:40 Fire hazard

Licht am Fahrrad, Licht am Fahrrad. Dynamo!

The fans of Ajax Amsterdam all went to a game during Covid when they were no fans allowed xD

The ajax Amsterdam whas a pre match part

3:10 They served cult in a football honouring way

7:14 German my Home ❤

How did the "Pippi Longstocking" song from Sweden end up as a football chant in Frankfurt?! 😄

It's a pity that they didn't include the Tottenham chant

pleas react to "best of hsv ultras" from germany

you were right with celtic and millwas they are british celtic is from scotland and millwall is in london

Actually, FOotball is not only European thing as i say it as European. Whole world have good football culture some better than others, but USA in some reason is excluded. You can gind good football atmosphere in Africa, Asia, South America and of couse Europe.

The second clip is boca juniors from argentina how is that european?
