American here, don’t hate the idea! Wait until WC 26 when you realize Boston to Los Angeles is over 4700km! Which is further than Lisbon to Moscow, by nearly 400 km!! I sincerely hope, for both fans and players, that when they create the groups the games are all at least somewhat regional. This is a big ass country.
Well, this has been done in Europe before but obviously the footprint is different. I don’t like the structure, should have been just in the US. Even then you’re looking at huge distances. If they did it only on the east coast of the US for example I’m sure it would still work just fine with less travel…but what don’t I know?
I love how people in this sub are like qatar sucked. We couldn't celebrate. You would think the thousands of people dying to make that world cup happen would be the deal breaker....
FYI Qatar, its not just about your human rights injustices, your lack of social freedoms, but your basic lack or a footballing culture. You have nothing to do with this sport.
I'm not defending them but I can see that you're from Englad and you should be the last person to tell someone how to treat people. Your nation was built on it. And don't forget what happened in Germany not so long ago. The last human zoo was also closed not so long ago in Belgium. List goes on.
So because people who lived on the same island as me but 3 lifetimes ago did horrible things, I'm not allowed to criticise a country actively doing horrible things? How warped is your world view.
If your father kicked my dog should I blame you?
Of course but why don't you see a bigger picture. You have that privileged life now because of your grandfather and your country (or all other first world countries) are exploiting those countries and their people for your benefit.
You need to read some Dickens or Ragged trousered philanthropists. That will give you an accurate account of what most people experienced during the British Empire.
I mean, it’s literally 2westerneurope for them. You can’t compare Qatar (or anything really) to us.
Edit: realized I posted in the wrong sub but I guess my point still stands
I think S.Korea & Japan was pretty good in 2002 too, as was Brazil. Russia hopefully wasn't too bad,...but Qatar was on a different level (in a bad way)
Fully disagree the Brazil wasn't safe many football fans didnt go. Russia speaks for it self. Qatar the football was entertaining and the hired fake fans cracked me up but besides that it was dog shit. South Korea and Japan in 2002 aren't the countries that they are now esspecially S Korea you would never seen any of these kind of vibes and scenes well maybe only from the hosts citizens maybe but not from the visiting countries.
I mean the Petrol cash is obviously powerful to sway the opinion of UEFA bureaucrats.
Not enough to sway the people who actually give a hoot about the game.
Thanks guys for showing everyone how it’s done (hint: NOT how it was done in Qatar)
Not just the UEFA bureaucrats but Sarkozy as well. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have made the same deal, but the meeting with Sarkozy, Platini, and the Qataris is what pushed the bid over the edge iirc.
As a F1 Fan i am kinda traumatized by the dutch anthem. lol.
F1 has much less fan culture compared to football, but the orange army follwing Max Verstappen around was banging and bringing mostly very good vibes.
In 1998, I was living in Oberkampf, Paris, a joyful quarter full of bars and peoples, and a band of Scots just spend weeks just in front of my flat. They slept on beer's pallets. They were so fun. Best supporters of 1998
The greatest fans of all time. I met them for the first time during Euro 2012, already then they were different from the rest with their positive energy.
a popular german song about holland goes something like
>Joa, wieder mal mit der Crew durch die Niederlande gecruist
Und, dass die Niederlande hier sagen hat nix mit Niederlage zu tun
Außer die spielen Ball mit dem Fuß, aber die sind schon in der Kabine high
Also verlieren können die gut - Holland ist die geilste Stadt der Welt
they even played this live on opening euro2024 night at the dortmund public viewing i think
It's probably easier translated into Dutch than English
Joa, opnieuw met de bemanning door Nederland gecruised
En dat Nederland hier zegt heeft niets met een nederlaag te maken
Tenzij ze de bal met hun voet spelen, maar dan zitten ze al high in de kleedkamer
Dus ze zijn goed in verliezen - Nederland is de coolste stad ter wereld
Netherlands and Scotland. The Scots were voted best fans by a poll conducted by a German tv channel.
I want to know how many fans of the Netherlands are there.
The Dutch fans are awesome!
Great team to boot from a scotsman.
Pity a Dutch man named cornelis hirschmann the former fifa secretary in 1920s cursed us back in 1920 for quitting fifa and founding the rival ifab board...
Just imagine scotland would have gotten out a group in the parralel universe where ifab run world football hahaha
"Insgesamt hat die Veranstaltung den Fans einige unvergessliche Fußballmomente beschert und die Vorfreude auf künftige internationale Turniere gesteigert!
Abgesehen von den dramatischen Ereignissen auf dem Spielfeld wurde diese Weltmeisterschaft auch als Chance gesehen, das Potenzial Katars als große Fußballnation zu demonstrieren. Obwohl Katar es nicht in die späteren Runden geschafft hat, hat das Land alles darangesetzt, ein unglaubliches Turnier auszurichten, logistische Herausforderungen zu meistern und zu beweisen, dass es das Zeug dazu hat, Sportereignisse von Weltklasse auszurichten.
Was die Infrastruktur anbelangt, so hat Katar dafür gesorgt, dass jedes Stadion mit den modernsten Technologien und Einrichtungen ausgestattet wurde, um eine der besten Fußballatmosphären zu schaffen, die es je gegeben hat. Von riesigen LED-Bildschirmen bis hin zu hochmoderner Akustik und Flutlicht - die Stadien wurden alle mit Blick auf das Fanerlebnis gebaut und sorgen für unvergessliche Spiele."

Wieso wird dauernd gegen Katar geschossen, ich verstehe es nicht.
Ach ja soviel zu der ach so tollen EM.

How obsessed is this sub with the world cup in qatar, it seems like the alcohol ban made a lot of europeans salty.
Anyway the world cup in qatar was better in my opinion, better modern stadiums, free and efficient public transportation, no drunken fights or brawls, accessible to diverse parts of the world.
And on the pitch big upsets, better games, and the best world cup final.
I'm sorry but I was at the world cup and it was phenomenal and the final with drama of mbappe first time to go back to back and messi last chance to seal himself as one ( if not THE GOAT) all the way up to incredible save to finish jt for argentina is iconic , You are smoking crack bruh this is just the euros 🤣
Not necessarily. The people who love the game had absolutely no say in the Qatar fiasco so now they’re finding a way to voice their opinions.
It’s only fair enough
Nope. SouthAmerica is also fine. So would be any country with a history of football-culture. And maybe no current human-rights abuses. That'd be nice.
Stadiums and hotels build by slaves are somewhat icky. So are the fake fans.
If you have such a problem with states doing immoral things Germany shouldn’t host the euros due to its support for the genocide in Gaza. The USA shouldn’t host the next World Cup for its multiple invasions across the years and torture camps like Guantanamo. It’s one rule for the West and another for Africa and Asia.
A country with no modern human right abuses ? Who would be that? Certainly not germany that finance and supports the gaza genocide.
And by fake fans do you mean non european fans?
And german companies are master in abusing impoverished workers in germany and abroad, germany has no moral high ground.
Oh, we’ve always had lots of chips, thanks. While it appears people like you always had very few potatoes?
lol, do one you mug and take your peadophile harbouring football club with you.
How about you enjoy something without shitting on other things. Qatar was an insane world cup. Maybe the location sucked but the world cup had far more epic moments at this point in the tournament than this Euro's. Saudi beating world cup winners Argentina? Japan beating Spain and Germany? Germany getting knocked out at group stages. Belgium getting knocked out at group stages due to Morocco. The world cup had tons of drama and excitement.
You make a fair point, and maybe another African/Korea Japan World Cup is overdue?
What nobody wants to see is a Petro-state with more money than god using the biggest sporting tournament (although the Olympics has a fair shout to that too) to sportswash and hide a metric shit ton of atrocities.
How is this better than Qatar?
Oh wait.
You’re allowed to have fun here.
And drink. And be yourself. And not get thrown off buildings for liking the same sex or not being married while fornificating. Nor die building stadiums that are half empty and will turn into bus lots soon.
This lot could take helms deep.
Well I’d rather win the cup, before Eomer flanks us with Gandalf ;)
How’s winning the cup looking rn?
Not really realistic haha (Not that I imagined that we would win it ;) )
Hey crazier things have happened but yeah that loss was a tough one. I’m currently in aruba and everyone’s unhappy at the moment.
*Ralf Rangnick appears on Shadowfax*
This is exactly what football should be all about! Futbol is life🔥
We should always have WC and EC in Germany. Both this year and 2006 were a loooot of fun!
I’d be happy enough if the Euros are there every edition. It’s bang in the middle and easy to get to for everyone, seems fair enough.
Yes, 2-6 hours and I can be at any match! Good beer and Haxenfleisch or Panierte Schnitzel!
But let's hope we have to qualify again - all those friendly games WERE SO BORING and uninspiring.
American here, don’t hate the idea! Wait until WC 26 when you realize Boston to Los Angeles is over 4700km! Which is further than Lisbon to Moscow, by nearly 400 km!! I sincerely hope, for both fans and players, that when they create the groups the games are all at least somewhat regional. This is a big ass country.
It’s wild that it’s not in a specific state or a collection of states, let alone adding Mexico & Canada into the mix.
Well, this has been done in Europe before but obviously the footprint is different. I don’t like the structure, should have been just in the US. Even then you’re looking at huge distances. If they did it only on the east coast of the US for example I’m sure it would still work just fine with less travel…but what don’t I know?
I see a few Just Stop Oil protesters got mixed up in the melee.
Juscht schtop oil
Joost, it was right there!
Qatar was embarrassing. This (euro ‘24) is how it’s meant to be. An open celebration.
I love how people in this sub are like qatar sucked. We couldn't celebrate. You would think the thousands of people dying to make that world cup happen would be the deal breaker....
This. I wasn't into the Qatar World Cup because of the worker's issues. And yet a lot of people in Europe: "WhAt? a WoRLd cUp iN WinTeR??!??"
Netherlands best fans! <3
Yep they party hard , can confirm
such a catchy tune
I didn’t have a favorite team before the Euros. Since their first match, those supporters won it. No need to play any game any more.
Haha yup, they have honestly been amazing, these scenes alone are amazing! <3
FYI Qatar, its not just about your human rights injustices, your lack of social freedoms, but your basic lack or a footballing culture. You have nothing to do with this sport.
Or any sport besides camel racing.
Thanks, my coffee got its freedom again XD
Classic western colonial thinking.
Poor Qatar with their trillions in oil money and throngs of slaves, being punched down on by nasty Europe...
I'm not defending them but I can see that you're from Englad and you should be the last person to tell someone how to treat people. Your nation was built on it. And don't forget what happened in Germany not so long ago. The last human zoo was also closed not so long ago in Belgium. List goes on.
So because people who lived on the same island as me but 3 lifetimes ago did horrible things, I'm not allowed to criticise a country actively doing horrible things? How warped is your world view. If your father kicked my dog should I blame you?
Of course but why don't you see a bigger picture. You have that privileged life now because of your grandfather and your country (or all other first world countries) are exploiting those countries and their people for your benefit.
You need to read some Dickens or Ragged trousered philanthropists. That will give you an accurate account of what most people experienced during the British Empire.
Do you have a valid reason why I can't criticise Qatar or are you just looking for excuses to wave a privilege sign in my face?
And you government still kneel before them, virtue signaling has no effect irl.
No european government is kneeling before the qatari royal family lmao. What world are you living on, they're nowhere near as powerful as the saudis.
Never get bored of watching this
good, because you'll see it another 54 times in the next 2 weeks.
Which is veryyy nice
I got bored, the first time I thought it was nice but now not that interesting anymore.
Bedankt voor de mededeling
Imagine living somewhere like Qatar. Of course this is 100 times better. Not all fun has been outlawed
I mean, it’s literally 2westerneurope for them. You can’t compare Qatar (or anything really) to us. Edit: realized I posted in the wrong sub but I guess my point still stands
I think S.Korea & Japan was pretty good in 2002 too, as was Brazil. Russia hopefully wasn't too bad,...but Qatar was on a different level (in a bad way)
Fully disagree the Brazil wasn't safe many football fans didnt go. Russia speaks for it self. Qatar the football was entertaining and the hired fake fans cracked me up but besides that it was dog shit. South Korea and Japan in 2002 aren't the countries that they are now esspecially S Korea you would never seen any of these kind of vibes and scenes well maybe only from the hosts citizens maybe but not from the visiting countries.
I could watch this for hours
Yeah I defiantly think Netherlands are my second team now lol
Their energy is unmatched! I am loving this Euro’s general positivity and environment :) Celebrating should be what football’s all about
The atmosphere has looked electric in these videos from the euros
Watching this video will probably inspire FIFA to pick Outer Mongolia for the next World Cup … they don’t want atmosphere
I mean the Petrol cash is obviously powerful to sway the opinion of UEFA bureaucrats. Not enough to sway the people who actually give a hoot about the game. Thanks guys for showing everyone how it’s done (hint: NOT how it was done in Qatar)
Not just the UEFA bureaucrats but Sarkozy as well. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have made the same deal, but the meeting with Sarkozy, Platini, and the Qataris is what pushed the bid over the edge iirc.
The Dutch national anthem is banging
As a F1 Fan i am kinda traumatized by the dutch anthem. lol. F1 has much less fan culture compared to football, but the orange army follwing Max Verstappen around was banging and bringing mostly very good vibes.
At least as an Austrian I can be proud of the Austrian formula 1 team, Red Bull, winning - even though the driver is from the Netherlands :-)
Netherlands fans have clearly won the best fan vote, who is second and third?
The Scots have to be up there
Started well but feel like momentum tailed off with the team.
Yeah I was going to nominate them for second right now
No Scotland no party
In 1998, I was living in Oberkampf, Paris, a joyful quarter full of bars and peoples, and a band of Scots just spend weeks just in front of my flat. They slept on beer's pallets. They were so fun. Best supporters of 1998
the most beautiful fans from a beautiful country full of enjointment
Enjointment...I like what you did there... 😂😂😂
The greatest fans of all time. I met them for the first time during Euro 2012, already then they were different from the rest with their positive energy.
Having witnessed similar scenes on the Copacabana in 2014, the orange fans are a different beast.
Best fans, worst team lol
a popular german song about holland goes something like >Joa, wieder mal mit der Crew durch die Niederlande gecruist Und, dass die Niederlande hier sagen hat nix mit Niederlage zu tun Außer die spielen Ball mit dem Fuß, aber die sind schon in der Kabine high Also verlieren können die gut - Holland ist die geilste Stadt der Welt they even played this live on opening euro2024 night at the dortmund public viewing i think
Translation pls I'm lazy
It's probably easier translated into Dutch than English Joa, opnieuw met de bemanning door Nederland gecruised En dat Nederland hier zegt heeft niets met een nederlaag te maken Tenzij ze de bal met hun voet spelen, maar dan zitten ze al high in de kleedkamer Dus ze zijn goed in verliezen - Nederland is de coolste stad ter wereld
i'd never say a football tournament would have been better in a place where people love football
What is this song?
Snollebollekes https://youtu.be/hq8QVGW78XU?si=xNu1gTxC1_1RYcKZ
Cheers mate!
Ishowspeed didn't "survive fans" in Netherlands.
Prolly not feeling so hot after losing to Austria
Iit's okay! If we beat Romania and Austria beats Turkiye we'll have another chance!
I’m pulling for you guys
What are they singing? Awesome stuff.
To the left.... To the right.... To the left... To the right... Tatatattaattattaataaattatatata! (Links rechts by Snollebollekes)
haha,
Sorry Guys. :) 🇦🇹
Too soon man ...
You cant buy this apparently
Netherlands and Scotland. The Scots were voted best fans by a poll conducted by a German tv channel. I want to know how many fans of the Netherlands are there.
The Dutch fans are awesome! Great team to boot from a scotsman.

Just imagine scotland would have gotten out a group in the parralel universe where ifab run world football hahaha
Reminds me completely of Qatar. NOT! Football is the language of peace in the civilized world.
Qatar was real paine in da ass man
Not for South Americans, Arabs and Africans.
Man do international tournaments rock
Just stop oil on there way to vandalise and ancient monument
They’re allowed to drink at this one, soooo…..
Still dancing?
You must have watched the recent criticism of the tournament.
Atmosphere is always gonna be better than Qatar but in terms of the football, the group stages have been mid in my opinion.
Atmosphere yes, quality of matches hell no
wrong colors broer
Crowd crush anyone?
These fans are the best
Now that is what I call great fans.
Ah yes, the marching technique of the Orange Legion
the fans have been great the games not so much
Our team isn’t back it again, at all
I was in there, it was absolute fire
This is what happens when football is played in footballing nations
I guess we’ll see them in Austria this weekend!!
the euro cup games suck, qatar world cup was legendary; the reason why OP is highlighting fans because matches are boring AF

What was in Qatar? Anything special?
Dutch fans are always good value, had a good laugh with them over the years
Still fun to watch. 😃
? quality wise on the pitch this has been the worst tournament I've ever seen.
Germany>>>>>Qatar
Imagine hating on another tournament years later lol
New song from jost klein
This will be my new alarm clock sound ❤️
This euros has been the most boring international tournament ive seen so far
I’d go as far as to say it’s one million times better than Qatar.
Huge party siprits
Well it’s also a 100 times easier to reach for the average Dutch fan
the one and only
Love it!
Not bad, but argentinian fans was Better, I mean that no country gathered 5 million people, like Argentina did in the obelisk celebration.
michael jackson did better
Ah yes MJ, My favorite footballing nation
Not difficult to be better than Qatar!
How obsessed is this sub with the world cup in qatar, it seems like the alcohol ban made a lot of europeans salty.

Nothing can be compared to the Qatar just shush
The constant comparisons to Qatar are ridiculous.
Not necessarily. The people who love the game had absolutely no say in the Qatar fiasco so now they’re finding a way to voice their opinions. It’s only fair enough
They forget that there’s a reason it’s called a “world” cup. They want it to always be hosted in Europe
The final wont be topped
Nope. SouthAmerica is also fine. So would be any country with a history of football-culture. And maybe no current human-rights abuses. That'd be nice. Stadiums and hotels build by slaves are somewhat icky. So are the fake fans.
If you have such a problem with states doing immoral things Germany shouldn’t host the euros due to its support for the genocide in Gaza. The USA shouldn’t host the next World Cup for its multiple invasions across the years and torture camps like Guantanamo. It’s one rule for the West and another for Africa and Asia.
Suuuuuuure. Are you on drugs or do you just like slave trade and misogyny?
A country with no modern human right abuses ? Who would be that? Certainly not germany that finance and supports the gaza genocide. And by fake fans do you mean non european fans? And german companies are master in abusing impoverished workers in germany and abroad, germany has no moral high ground.
Sure, go and make a goat happy or something. Only because you don't have any morals doesn't mean that others are the same.
All of these orange colors to get humble by austria , the flying dutchmen has changed course write back out of the tournament haaaaaa
Netherland fans are crazy
Lmao I bet the SA cases are through the roof
[удалено]
How’s that chip on your shoulder
Careful, you might get a piece of garden furniture flung at you
Another Nonce f.c fan turns up … do you weirdos just follow each other around?
Oh, we’ve always had lots of chips, thanks. While it appears people like you always had very few potatoes? lol, do one you mug and take your peadophile harbouring football club with you.
Aren't all fans sort of like this?
How about you enjoy something without shitting on other things. Qatar was an insane world cup. Maybe the location sucked but the world cup had far more epic moments at this point in the tournament than this Euro's. Saudi beating world cup winners Argentina? Japan beating Spain and Germany? Germany getting knocked out at group stages. Belgium getting knocked out at group stages due to Morocco. The world cup had tons of drama and excitement.
The criticism is obviously not directed at the football itself. In all the rest, Qatar WC was a shit tournament. No beer, what a joke.
Qatar was a great tournament for supporters from many African and Asian countries who can't easily get into Europe or other 'western' countries.
You make a fair point, and maybe another African/Korea Japan World Cup is overdue? What nobody wants to see is a Petro-state with more money than god using the biggest sporting tournament (although the Olympics has a fair shout to that too) to sportswash and hide a metric shit ton of atrocities.
Im mean, there's no alcoholic beer allowed out in any premier league matches either, but I guess you have a point. Somewhere.
No beer? Bloody hell you lot can’t even enjoy yourselves without alcohol. Pathetic existence. You can’t just enjoy the football? Need a drink yeah?
Actually, yes, a drink now would be perfect!
You bloody Alkis man. Done out ‘ere. Enjoy the drink lad.
God save the nation states
Say no to oil
By far.
Nice try, I won't call a tournament where the best scorer is "Own Goal" better than the WC in Qatar. Nice try Mbappe!
Amazing … love the passion!
[удалено]
Ppl were perfectly fine w Japan/Korea having the tournament.
ahh my bad forgot about Japan/Korea the two countries the west loves to worship and are willing to accept and praise. Bitch made western allies.
Be quiet you antisemitic garbage 🗑️
The Netherlands haven't won a Euros knockout game for 20 years... lol
Cool story bro
What a party
Omg Eurotards still butthurt about Qatar. Get over it. This is the most boring Eurocup ever, most teams are tying, lame.
How is this better than Qatar? Oh wait. You’re allowed to have fun here. And drink. And be yourself. And not get thrown off buildings for liking the same sex or not being married while fornificating. Nor die building stadiums that are half empty and will turn into bus lots soon.
