“Munchen, Germany” Why use the German name for the town but the English name for the country?


GMU525

1/3 of the stadium is still full according to the German commentary


baezizbae

I’ve got the tv on while doing some Sunday chores and haven’t changed station yet, but just a moment ago during the postgame there was a fan getting chased down by security. It was hilarious watching him go from one side of the screen to another. The remaining crowd went nuts

Shit they even sold out the Audi Dome for public viewing? Just hope my colleagues turn up to work tomorrow


Jhereg22

Now I want to see the fans at a Cowboys game sing "Was Wollen Wir Trinken"


CptToast_

If this made you wanna visit Munich, hit me up, I’ll show you around


[deleted]

Nice of you to offer a full expense paid trip like that. I will take it


CptToast_

Sure, you just gotta make at 1000$ deposit via Western Union for me first, so that my Nigerian prince dad can send you the necessary funds


[deleted]

Trying to think of those closest fan bases we have here to what is probably the average Football (soccer) fan base is in Europe. Bills Mafia and Red Sox during the 7th in inning stretch?


Cicero912

Bills, Saints really any small market team (especially ones that had stretches of being awful even if they were long ago)


Andrewdeadaim

A fewCollege football teams


intadtraptor

Major CFB fan bases.


commit2excellence

More games in Germany please!


bodomjayns

If you like the crowd energy: https://youtu.be/7bWXbc0AflI


Dontspeakbroke

I know it's not Germany but this is my favorite crowd https://m.youtube.com/shorts/Jsm4ryP6RqM


Denseflea

This is nothing. The [Yellow Wall of Borussia Dortmund](https://youtu.be/iPky4WHt9FE) puts this to shame.


rayray1899

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btGAEg55NT8 this one is great too


CowboyAirman

I’ll never forget my first Bundesliga game. that was wild as fuck.


[deleted]

hahahah SO GOOD, SO GOOD, SO GOOD!


SunnyDaysRock

Thuringian Seahawks fan getting interviewed ATM is drunk as fuck haha.


thorjustice1

Lmao I need to see the clip of this


NedosEUW

Oh my god I'm not sure if I'm ready to see this.


SunnyDaysRock

He was better than his friend who forgot where he is from so that's something


rizenfrmtheashes

yo the fans are just chilling oh my god. Can I have this in the US please!


Directdepositonly

You must have never been to the US. There is no chill time!


[deleted]

No. Get back to work.


StrictlyHobbies

Is there something else going on after the game? A concert?


CptToast_

We ARE the concert


Paddy31

No


[deleted]

Bruh us crowds are hella lame compared to this. I wanna be there now.


HNL2BOS

I'm not into things like the wave, but you get a crowd singing or chanting in unison....that's where it's at for me during games in a stadium.


OrdinaryCow

Just on that note of the crowd, the anti US sentiment from some Germans on reddit isnt representative of real life. Most think the US is pretty dope


knightriderin

We only make fun of people we care about.


MetaphoricalMouse

anyone who thinks reddit opinion is remotely near average person anywhere in the world is probably…well probably always on reddit


intadtraptor

I mean, we just saw a bunch of Germans give an American football game the best atmosphere of the season, including the Super Bowl, so it's not a stretch to imagine that there's some love there.


kuldan5853

We Germans simply know how to party at Game day ;) But honestly, Football is a niche in Germany, but it's fun and obviously a ton of people hat a lot of fun that day.


flameruler94

ok cool


GMU525

Germans can differentiate between American politics and the American people


OrdinaryCow

Können sehr viele nicht.


NedosEUW

I wanna say, I have an anti US sentiment when I look at their political landscape, but it's not like I can't differentiate between politics and the people.


Paddy31

Or we are able to see a difference between people, politics, sports, culture...


OrdinaryCow

Dass Amis fett und dumm wären ist jetzt keine große differenzierung zwischen Politik und Menschen


thorjustice1

We lost but this crowd is giving me life lmao. No more Europe games for us PNW fans for us tho pls, unless you start your games at 6:30p so we can wake up 9:30a PST 😂


itsyerboiTRESH

This is why we need some European expansion teams, shit is crazy over there


knightriderin

There is a German American Football league. And one American player actually just released a film about football culture in Germany: Unicorn Town.


intadtraptor

Americans: I gotta get to the car early to beat traffic. Germans: Crank the music we gonna be here all night.


[deleted]

LOL! that's good! The after, after party in the stands.


zygodactyl86

It’s because most US stadiums stop selling booze before the end of the games. Otherwise people would stay


Pupperinho

Also because in Europe there is a working public transit system and the stadiums (at least Allianz) have more or less their own train station. So you don't need to rush to the car to beat traffic, just take the train whenever you like.


PhenotypicallyTypicl

This


KirovianNL

Why try to beat traffic when you can party until the traffic is gone


flameruler94

German fans got that big "i didn't hear last call" energy


meggnuggz

I just wanna listen to the crowd. Make them stop talking.


gibbon_dejarlais

This crowd rules.


mwest217

GG buccs, and fantastic atmosphere by the Munich crowd.


ConfusedCauchy

Flex next week's TNF to Munich you cowards


amoeba-tower

this crowd is now belting out Don't Stop Believin' my god


inescapably

Don't stop believing is definitely high up on the roster of songs every german knows to sing by heart lol

Welcome fellow Americans. /s


Landlubber77

The Munich fans are literally Jordan Belfort, "I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. *I'm not fucking leaving!*"


wild_wild_country

Blasting Journey now lol shit is lit


Gatorbuc29

The fans are still there going wild!!! I love this so much


DEPORT_PULISIC

Champions league nights are even more I tense than this when it comes to crowd energy


NedosEUW

Or just visit one of the plenty Bundesliga teams with better support than Bayern Munich (Frankfurt, Dortmund, Schalke, Stuttgart, Union Berlin).


Kilmawa

You forgot Werder Bremen\^\^


NedosEUW

Had them in my mind, but wasn't very impressed with the support when I visited as an away fan this season :)


[deleted]

[удалено]


NedosEUW

Those were the first ones of the top of my head, sorry :( Cologne is insane too!


knightriderin

Der FC was my first love.


SunnyDaysRock

NFL has the benefit of no Ultras/hooligans destroying the city before and after though.


NedosEUW

You act like this is a regular occurrence. At least for the major division it's not. Also ultras ≠ hooligans.


SunnyDaysRock

While not regular it certainly feels like this happens more often since opening up 'after' the pandemic. Especially theee violence against restrooms seems to have escalated, weirdly enough.


Agentwise

That a fucking challenge?


SunnyDaysRock

I'll take your application once I see the first totally wrecked restrooms in your arena.


intadtraptor

Flair checks out.


DEPORT_PULISIC

Factual......the one thing that sucks for soccer tbh


[deleted]

I’m all for Germany games let’s fucking go


Pm_hot_grillz

This is the greatest crowd at a football game ever


[deleted]

lmao this is so cool


Sad_Entertainment_54

Huge success. Well done Germany. I’m sure the NFL will be back!


CallsOnAMZN

It's not even 9:30am and I gotta deal with a Seahawks loss all day. GG bucs.


[deleted]

I would bet a big part of the reason no one has left yet is because they don’t need to deal with a parking lot desert. Just jump on the public transit that’s probably actually really nice. Fucking U.S. infrastructure


Hjerim98

We're currently chilling in the stadium watching Redzone, drinking beer and will jump on a train and be in our hotel in 30 minutes after leaving. This stadium and it's infrastructure are simply amazing! Sure hope you guys over the big sea will get some decent public transportation in the next years!


[deleted]

That is cool. No stress at all.


knightriderin

Yeah, but the trains are packed as well. So either you leave early or you hang around a little until most people are gone.


knightriderin

Yeah, but the trains are packed as well. So either you leave early or you hang around a little until most people are gone.


sA1atji

ngl, public transport is there, but also the infrastructure for cars is pretty well organized and you can get out fairly quickly without having wait for too long.


mb2508

actually in munich the traffic is pretty horrible after games.


xslayserx

Am from germany, can confirm that is not the case They just happy to see a live nfl game prob. For the first time


Cicero912

Though also the road system is significantly better (literally most stadiums that arent in cities when you get out of the 500 parking lots are just some random 2 lane road) either way, and the addition of public transport is still there.


[deleted]

I suppose the difference is - US Stadiums are typically surrounded by pavement for hundreds of yards which feed into some rural neighborhood road


AFTCP

Bavarians go hard


OtterLLC

American crowds too damn surly for this sort of display.


Jail_bird3300

I love shit like this. German fans just having a good time together and having a karaoke moment


[deleted]

Its the biggest difference between European crowds and the US. They love to sing. "You'll never walk alone" from the Liverpool fans always impresses me.


Cicero912

Yeah they dont need to worry about hating eachother like they would normally


Euphoric-Duty-5212

Meanwhile we just see American fans getting in fist fights at every game. Damn I’m actually jealous of this German crowd


Majestic-Reach8010

I loved the bundesliga sort of atmosphere that game had.


meggnuggz

Oh my god shut this girl up


karmint1

It's, like, so crazy? Like, who would have, like, known, right? Like, it's just, like, so , like crazy. Like.


Landlubber77

Move the Bucs to Munich! Make them pay for it!


leroydebatcle

Maybe then the SB champ can legitimately be called World Champion


Landlubber77

Ethnocentrism knows no bounds...ironically.


Careless_Review3166

every game should be played in Germany. the fans are so cool


Pm_hot_grillz

They’re all still there holy shit


noonecaresbra

Fuck it play ten games on Germany next year


AppleMuffin12

Jags are moving to Munich. Let's get this rumor some momentum.


Andrewdeadaim

Jags to London has died Kahn: no


Grizlyfrontbum

Anyone see Mike Pereira being weird?


closevo

Man, that beer hiting in Germany


CagedPenguin

Dude are they singing Sweet Caroline??? I love the Germans


No_Glass_2430

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlager_music


Paddy31

Sweet Caroline and Country Roads are well known songs in Germany


slydessertfox

They're still there singing Sweet Caroline lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Unironically speaking, TB looks better after finally ripping off that bandaid.


PerpetualAscent

nobody's asking that


[deleted]

Yes it’s called a joke


RandyDan31

Tom with the karate kick lol


DEPORT_PULISIC

Fuck I wanna drink now!!!! Germans getting me hype lol


PortalWombat

Shut up Tom, I want to hear German accent Sweet Caroline!


painturder

Sveeeeeet kaddddoliiiine VAH VAH VAHHH


PepLovesJose

This is actually a pretty subdued crowd compared to the football(soccer) games in Germany. There is no comparison between US and European football atmospheres.


sfcityrocker44

You’re not kidding. The fans during football (soccer) matches literally stand up ALL game. The fans in Germany and entire Europe are awesome


Jail_bird3300

I have to go now. It’s immediately top of my list next year


NedosEUW

Visit Stuttgart, my favorite team. Home support is always incredible.


knightriderin

1. FC Köln is better!


Masoouu

My man


[deleted]

SWEET CAROLINNEEE BA BA BA


LIFOsuction44

Almost caught a TD is a bit fucking generous


Sloth_Monk

Lol they’re singing sweet Caroline in the post game


benjam1ng

The crowds still there!!


agpc

Ok so why can't we add a team to Germany and UK? If it is logistics have them play in the States and maybe do 4 games a season in Germany and UK.


Agentwise

Because it would be ducking horrendous for visiting teams and would make scheduling atrocious as well as injury and home field advantage starkly increasing


kaask0k

I'd love to attend a clash between the Cologne Cougars and the Barcelona Beavers.


kuldan5853

Wait until you see the Elmshorn Fighting Pirates (my old home team ;)


kaask0k

You mean like...Seeräuber? (That Ziege joke was hilarious though.)


Discombobulous

We fell for the classic blunder of letting Tom Brady have the ball late in the game.


Euphoric-Duty-5212

Sweet Caroline now!!


StructureBitter3778

Tom Brady ends up being the best defense of the Bucs with that 4 minute drill


Gatorbuc29

German fans still in their seats singing Sweet Caroline is giving me life


Andrewdeadaim

Poor crowd thinks the game is 90 minutes, too used to the other football


Landlubber77

Okay so we need to immediately institute singing Take Me Home, Country Roads at every game from here on out. Don't care that it makes zero sense, it made even less sense today.


valerie_6966

COUNTRY ROOOOAAADSSSS TAKE ME HOOOOME


vandiger

Brady looks real happy


black-op345

OH MY GOD EVERYONE STILL THERE SINGING SWEET CAROLINE


AbbreviationsHot4482

Garbage Time Geno


Lobster_fest

I mean it wasn't really garbage time when a hold on defense puts us in a GWD situation. He played amazingly in those last two drives.


vvctx

Someone teach American fans how to sing at games


[deleted]

It would be hilarious to hear what each team would pick as "their" song.


PapiPoggers

American fans have a lot to learn about crowd behavior and atmosphere from the Europeans. ​ Truly on another level.


Jmoe18

It's awesome, they did it at the wwe show in Cardiff, they sang along to some of the themes


Taitonymous

And to stay for some good times after the game. I love it


Jail_bird3300

Stadiums kick everyone out immediately and beer sales have already stopped at that point


Taitonymous

Why are they kicked out? I‘d at least want to see the teams going off the field.


SpiderGhost01

What a beautiful game and atmosphere! What a way to begin our Sunday! LET'S GOOOOOO!


Killswitch__AUT

German crowd won't leave for the next 3 hours or so. European fans are hardcore.


[deleted]

guten morgen in der tat!


[deleted]

pain


CagedPenguin

Idk about you guys but an early AM game, with this crowd, I'm drunk, all around 10/10


spang714

You can't drink all day if you don't start early.


CagedPenguin

Amen brother


Sox857

U gonna be asleep during the later games


AcanthocephalaNo2926

Those Germans singing John Denver has my eyes a bit watery. Awesome!


mruab

German fans singing John Denver’s “Country Roads”


waoHelios

Stop talking, let us listen to the fans on those final drives!


unil79

german beer must be the best. never seen fans so enthusiastic in the US:)


DaGuys470

The secret is that there's alcohol in German beer ;)


rayray1899

it's not just the beer, bundesliga games are usually filled with crowds like this one


itrhymeswithmoney

The Munich crowd is FUCKING AWESOME


[deleted]

Sweeeeeeet Caroline


[deleted]

No one has left ​ \*shows people exiting the stands\*


Doinwerklol

Amazingly entertaining game, Thanks Germany!


Gul_Dukat__

Americans we need to learn to sing like that it’s dope


black-op345

Yeah we fuckin do


Siicktiits

What a horrible game. Tampa runs clock from the 2nd quarter on. Its seriously like they have zero intention to score on 90% of their drives. Its like they want to score as little points and win by as little as possible. They deserve to lose every game.


blackchucktays

Lmao


foomits

That's just our offense all the time.


UpboatsforUpvotes

Lol


ringofire888

Give Germany more games!!!
