I would be scared to death attending a soccer game in the UK or Europe
-

there is no reason to be scared,
only few games you should avoid to attend like fenrrbahce- gala, pana-olympiacos, if you r really scared lol
but i have to agree that passion in soccer is on a complete diffrrent level.
i sometimes have to laugh when i get home from a bundesliga game on sat and see these football crowds

You shouldn't be. I go to 60 games a year and never feel in any kind of danger.

It's all good, unless they're massive rivals and even then it's not what it used to be. If you're stupid enough to cruise around in eastern Europe, Turkey etc with away team supporters gear on derby night then you've got a few screws loose anyway. Originally Posted by jjgold

They probably got only 1 team to root for in their city. Futbol still a boring sport to watch.

Mostly Americans go to sporting events to get drunk and have a good time, Europeans go to support the team and are usually drunk by game time. Infact I don't think most countries even sell alcohol in sporting events

Its just unreal
Whether we like it or not soccer is king all over the globe fan wise and gambling wise

Away games in the UK are as safe as you can get, granted I've never been to Millwall.

Soccer is king because the world is shit at all other real sports, cricket aside.

12-01-13 06:55 PM #13
I would just cheer with home team regardless

Sure there is but it's not on the same level as NFL. What's the average salary of players? Originally Posted by jayc88

most of the real passionate fans, the kind that kill refs, players, and each other are 3rd world poor kinda people and dumb people.
they are passionate because they have nothing else.
many of us are passionate about our sports, but we also mostly have our families, bright futures, school, work, plenty of recreation and hobbies ect to also keep us happy.
these people got soccer, and dirt huts

The video showed each sport being very emotional.
I prefer going to college games because of the history and traditions, you don't get that in the NFL.
Soccer is crazier and causes riots, if they tried that in the U.S.
-They would have tons of riot police shooting cans of tear gas and rubber bullets everywhere.
American football would be as crazy, but we have a thing called policemen with balls over here!
-

Most of the riots in Soccer happen in countries that are:
1) Poor.
2) Going through political problems.
3) Have a horrible police force.
Try it in the US....you grab a policemen like some of those idiots in the videos, you'll be six feet under the next day!

so thats why no one cares about football except americans? Originally Posted by InTheDrink

the difference is USA fans do a lot more with a lot less attendance...
Funny when someone shows a video or some piece of info in support of their point and the video actually works against their argument.

The real passionate fans, you are referring to, represent the minority of a fanbase of a certain soccer team. There are also passionate fans, who have families, school, work etc., which represent the majority of a fanbase. Originally Posted by Chi_archie;20428140[B

It's the global sport and I actually would like it to become more popular in the U.S., but do I love American football more than Soccer? Hell yeah!
It may sound crazy, but American football does have deeper and longer traditions than European football does!
^that's a fact

Out of every 500 games maybe one has a riot in soccer. When was the last time there was a riot in a Champions League game or a World Cup game or qualifier? They play 10,000 games a year in soccer compared to 250 in NFL yet everyone thinks every soccer game is a riot.
-

I don't believe any games have riots, they just brought up the few countries that have riots at soccer games. Originally Posted by pavyracer

those are major continental competitions fans and players know better than to riot in such games, however you hear fans getting stabbed/killed all the time across the world due to soccer rivalries Originally Posted by pavyracer
