So true

Kind of business too tbh but secondary

That’s a fact

southamerica thinks the same about europe, the real passion is here in south america

Yeah no, fans got nothing to do with the sports being business, association makes sports business, USA fanas just not fun or if you trying to do some crazy shit like that you'll end up out of the game🤷🏻‍♂️ but in every sports exist passion and business, UEFA is a big ass mafia and business, they don't rule Europe because they have passion for the sport👀

In all honesty y'all passion is something else as well as it's Beautiful the clubs belong to the fans I respect such zeal and fire Keep it up

more like people from the united states specifically, they can't fathom the intensity of what goes on around the world.

lol, there is a reason why the world wars were an european thingy... :-)

@@bankoleojo114 You'll be more shocked that most teams after awin are actually commonly found in the local clubs just singing, drinking and spending wime with fans with no security 🤣

Sweden

Same in Poland, sooo true. I could tell my friends that I converted from catholic to orthodox and probably they would just nod their heads with confusion. But I don't even want to imagine reactions if I told them that I stopped supporting our beloved team and support other team now. Anger, calling me by names such as traitor, banishment from the social life or even beating.

No one gives a flying frog about religion anyway, we all know it's fantasy stuff. A football team however, that is 100% real.

Facts😂

I have noticed something similar in during my time in the US. Mind you it was college sports i attended there. But I got the feeling that in Europe the atmosphere is create by the fans, in particular the "ultras" (hardcore fans) with drums, singing etc. throughout the game, while in the US the viewers get their excitment by a show from down the field (noise measurements, cheerleaders, athem, celebs)

Yeah, basketball here doesn't have a musical element, and the pyrotechnics would never happen. The fire marshall would be like...."Come with me sir." I think the difference is Euro soccer, more alcohol and the centuries old hatred between the cities and countries. lol. Football here has more of those elements but still not that much. It makes a difference when the City is the identity, not necessarily the team. Our cities aren't old enough and have had too much change/growth/ new people moving in and others leaving.

@@cavaleermountaineer3839 Well in european sports or at least in germany the pyros are also very very banned but ultras just sneak them in anyways and in most cases its not really the cities but the fans for example the clubs in the ruhrpott in germany like schalke bochum etc. are just tradition bc back in the day all the miners went to the games in their free time which developed culture its more of the workers culture then the cities

The same in Fußball ⚽ 😁❤️🙌🏻That makes so fun to sing and make party hihi

@@armaanhafiz Never mind security, in some matches they have cops fully decked out in riot gear with batons, helmets and shields. They won't tell them to "stop", they are just there to make sure both sides don't kill eachother.

Why in God's name would they have to stop?

They were told over the loudspeakers to turn off the smoke/fire, otherwise the team will be penalized ( some fine or the next match closed for fans) .

Red Star - Belgrade SRBIJA

Red star sounds "(Ts)Crvena Zvezda" , like if Tsitsipas was inscript Cicipas. In Bulgaria we say Цървена Звезда or "Carvena Zvezda". Legendary team. Delije or Делье, or Делие, the name of the fan club on the ribon, come from turkish word "deli" - mad.

and those mentioned clubs also have their own history in u.e.f.a. football champions league

@@user-cx8dw2nl8w In old serbian language delija means soldier. Now that word means good, brave, strong guy

yeah, the only thing that is even slightly compareable to what clubs mean in Europe is maybe college football. The vibe there is completely different from the NFL.

I absolutely agree, Serbs, Greeks, Turks are the most passionate nations in Europe!!!!!!

I absolutely agree, Serbs, Greeks, Turks are the most passionate nations in Europe!!!!!!

D*mn I like both the idea of the half and half fans and the last question. They surely can't stop them easily either peacefully!

@@alexteme4 I'd expect the European fans to be loud - very loud probably - but it is all a game of intimidation, isn't it ? For American fans intimidating the opposing team, they're stuck between throwing more confetti or a faster Mexican wave. Or both, perhaps. Just outclassed by people for whom their team is their very lives.

@@ourfarmhouseinspain Check the practice matches from Barca vs NY Red Bulls, most fans you see / hear are the Barca fans

@@Kreditz404 There just seems to be a different level of commitment from the fans, doesn't there ? I've some exposure to American sporting events, and I've found the fans to be moderately enthusiastic - and polite, perhaps - but European fans live the game on a daily basis as you know. What was the comparison ? American football is like going to the library, western European football is passion incarnate, eastern European football is like inner city warfare. Still, there are worse ways to spend a Saturday ..... Regards

European fans would wipe the floor with the American fans easily. Europeans are singing about their team being their family, their love, their religion, their passion while Americans are mostly yelling "defense, defense!"

Unfortunately it can also get violent in Europe. I once went to watch hockey game, was wearing visitor's jersey and won. Home team supporters threw rocks at us after the game.

@@duckeh1952 It´s your fault. At home you will not go to crips territory wearing a red bandana either :-)

@@duckeh1952 you watched hockey in Europe? Bro, hockey ain’t a famous sport here, unless in Scandinavia and Russia. First and by far, it’s football (soccer ), then probably basketball , if you already got scared at hockey, don’t go to a football match wearing rival colors.

@@duckeh1952 paok Ring of fire look it.

This is 100% true. I'm a big delija (Crvena Zvezda fan) and I chose Crvena Zvezda because my grandpa and uncle are also huge delijas. Lot's of my friends also chose the team they root for because their father and/or grandpa are also big fans.

So making a noise for 60sec and then having looong periods of near silence is something impressive?! Few years into the future their attendance at Euroleague games is 5-6k spectators in total. Ridiculous.

@@jovanjorgovan23 What I have understood from the Eastern European and especially the Greek clubs is that there are very few moments of silence. We are not that crazy in Sweden, it's only football that really stir up feelings, but here at Malmö FF, the Most Champions of Sweden we sing nonstop from the warming up to the players leave the pitch after the game.

Crowd pressure...the useless "dee-fense, dee-fense" or other stuff...

Hehehe gypsies

I have to say... Greek sportfans are super crazy even on European standards.

Even if you don’t have a fucking championship. There is Oly winning, Pana playing the final and all the others just playing for? Nothing more than having fan, they can’t dream. Kholossos that s good lost 39/39 games against Oly in his history...why to attend such a game? And a playoff serie Oly-Kholossos? It is boring for everyone. Oly just wait for EL games. Small teams just wait for nothing: they can’t have any goal!

@@Iflie 🤣🤣🤣💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

imagine being there. Its way more intense than a football game on a stadium. This is indoors, so its crazy loud, everybody's hyped and pumped. Its hard to describe the atmosphere there

Because there is a lot of history in Europe, it transcends sports. Wars, conflicts, uprisings, riots, territories, politics and even religion it's all part of the sport. So you grow passion, love and hatred from your childhood. Sports aren't just sports in Europe and SA, it's life. Let me give you an example. For instance the rivalry between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic in Scotland is rooted in a divide of views in politics, religion and their relationship with Ireland. Or with let's say Liverpool FC, they strongly dislike the Monarchy...or SS Lazio from Italy were/are Nazis. Barcelona want autonomy whereas Madrid/Spain are a monarchy etc. It's like that across all of Europe, not to mention the wars in the past. Clubs hate each other even if they are from different countries...and friendships exist as well between cluba from different countries. Amd it is passed down from generation to generation. Also what will help the US is to integrate a relegation/promotion system in sports, that way the stakes are high each year and you will see passion from the fans AND players will hundredfold.

@@jovanjorgovan23 in the minor leagues is even worse than that for the players....

@@jovanjorgovan23 True, but he also had to play against big clubs, and knows the atmosphere really well.

Luka Doncic played for Real Madrid so he is a veteran in such an athmosphere.

With all due respect Greek brother that was a video of Red Star Belgrade when the floor was shaking. Partizan matches are no different. You've got Oly and Pan and there's fener, efes and galata in Turkey. If you want an atmosphere you go to see those teams.

The video creator was probably Greek.... In the end, Greece is the cradle of Europian culture....

It's about the game. You are swayed with emotion if you are in balkan basketball game. This is how you should feel. Feel proud of your team and support them. It's amazing atmosphere. The US game they showed was just a snore fest.

Well you from Belgium I get it I love it,greetings from Slovenia! Ultras!!

Only that part with floor shaking isn't Greece. Red Star Belgrade, Serbia.

Loudest fans in Basketball are in Greece, Serbia, Turkey.... Honorable mention, Croatia, Spain and Baltic states.... Football on the other hand has ultras everywhere in Europe, especially in south and eastern Europe... England was hell for football fans few decades ago, but not anymore...

The stadiums are designed like that to absorb impact think of it like earthquake resistant buildings of it was built too firm it'll crumble against the jumping pressure so they designed it to actually embrace impact in order to not collapse

UK...you're joking. No.

UK .. hahahahaahha

I know at least one pregame song that I think some crowds across the pond would use to get their energy level up even higher....the same song that was used for Greece's journey through the 1987 European Basketball Championships, which was 'The Final Countdown' by EUROPE. =)
