Top Comments of this video!! :3
Europe has a bigger land area (3,910,680 sq miles) than the U.S. (3,531,905 sq miles). But also Europe has 700 + mil. people vs. US 400+ mil. Thus Europe is more dense. In Europe we fought each other for thousands of years and all this fighting spirit is now seen into sports. In Europe not only football atmosphere is like that. You should check out basketball, ice hockey, handball also... In Europe sport clubs belongs to their community, and communities in Europe always fought each other...

@6:55 the stadium is build to bounce, to not break from the weight, just like a skyscraper swaying a little, to counter the wind...

American fans are customers of the company that owns the club and provides entertainment services. European ultras think that they are actually the club, the players can leave after a few years - but for the ultras it is generational. The clubs in Europe are institutions and often have names related to their region's identity. The fans are territorial and they think that they defend their city or "castle." The ultras think it is their duty to intimidate the opponents. The European way is more aggressive, but it is also more "authentic".
The video was actually quite tame as far as Europe is concerned. You can check Top Ultras in Europe or Ultras - Our Way of Life. It can get much more extreme.

one thing to remember is that football(the real kind, I mean, sorry!!) in the USA is relatively new, there isnt the tradition or the history that teams in the Uk or Europe have.. I imagine that in the US, you support a team because it's local, and its sort of the thing to do, whereas in the UK or Europe there's more than a century of history behind most teams, grandfathers passed that support and fanaticism down to their sons, and those sons passed it further on to THEIR sons, so that supporting "Your" team is part of your DNA..it's tribal, it's in your blood, and it always will be. my father began supporting our local team in 1926, when he passed away in 1992 I had his ashes scattered on the pitch at the stadium he loved. I started supporting my team(Portsmouth FC) in 1958, and I still attend every home game, 65 years later..it's tribal, it's intense and its very very different to the USA because football is not so traditional or deeply ingrained in the US psyche, Baseball and American football are your major sports, and I think that the American view of the sport is rather different to how the rest of the world sees it... as demonstrated by the differing displays of support shown in these clips......in the US, I imagine supporting football is what you DO, while in Europe and the UK, supporting your team is what you ARE.....for instance, when a local fan here in Portsmouth chants "I'm Portsmouth till I die" he MEANS it...........love your reactions too! keep up the great work!! Best wishes and regards from the sunny south coast

You recognized it correctly. In Europe it is more intense because the crowd is part of a history that goes back thousands of years. Cities and regions used to fight each other on battlefields. The battlefield has been replaced by the football field, but the duty to defend the ancestral territory remains.

In all fairness guys,here in Europe,we have a 140 year headstart on you so passion and deep deep history are a given everywhere over here.
There’s loads more crowd activity that would blow your mind,especially when the flares get going and it looks like the whole stadium is on fire!!
But for sheer passionate football madness,have a look at the Argentinian clubs fans,they are on another level entirely,but the whole world is passionate about the beautiful game.
Get on board.

It's always a pleasure watching US Americans step out of their bubble! So satisfying to see, that you're willing to learn more about the world outside of 'murica! Keep it up you two beautiful people! US football scene is already evolving, which is really great - let's see where you are in 5/10 years.
Subs out!
