Best Football fans on EURO 2008

[TariboWest33]

Thread for discuss, which NT will have the best support on EURO...

[Chess_Panther]

Now that England is out...the most obvious answer is Netherlands.

[U7 Blazej]

Poland, had one of the top fans in the World Cup 06

[TariboWest33]

IMHO

1. CROATIA
Everyone who watched game on Wembley, know about what i am talking.. 6000 Croatian fans was loader then 80 000 englishman, not only after croatian lead, but also at the start of the match, here is the the proof:
VIDEO: Croatian fans cheering on the Wembley (and on the streets of London) (http://vinovo.magnify.net/watch/playlist/M85G18HW5FY46LRC)

Another thing, Croati will play in Wienna and Klangefurt (thats only 2-3 hours from Croatia), and they will have massive support

2. NETHERLANDS
Stadiums will be in orange colours, Holland allways had great support of their fans

3. TURKEY
It'll be inavios on Switzerland, especially will be interesting to see their match against Swiss...

Awesome videos, thanks for the link.

1) I think Croatia will have the best; Austria is only around an hour away from Croatia.

2) Germany and Poland dooking it out

3) Netherlands

I like Scandinavian fans the most, but I think that the Croatian, German, Dutch and Swizz fans are going to be fun as well... And I really hope the Austrians can get their act together.

[Boloni86]

1) Croatia

2) Poland

3) Germany

Funny they're all in the same group. There will be more Croats, Poles and Germans in Austria than Austrians ... :D

[johan neeskens]

The Dutch are hardly the most loyal or loud fans and these would be the deciding factors for me in this vote. We just stand out because of the orange. Easier to spot as it were. I also think we stand out because we're a friendly bunch which is nice for the hosts I guess. Dutch hooligans find it beneath them to travel with the Dutch NT, they all stay at home and only the friendly neighbourly type Dutch football fans actually go to tournaments.

My favourite national team supporters are the Irish. Shame they didn't qualify.

[Romanian9]

I'd have to say the Dutch fans, Germany have pretty passionate fans as well.

[Borussia]

Thread for discuss, which NT will have the best support on EURO...

1) Switzerland/Austria
2) Croatia
3) Turkey

Followed by Germany, Poland, Holland, Czech Republic and maybe Sweden.


However, I think that the support won't be so important at this EURO with those small stadiums...

My top 3

Crotia,Poland,Turkey ( Alphabetically) :)

Russian Euro 2008 fans can apply for 'Eurovisa'
Russian soccer fans planning to support their team at Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland will be able to apply for a special 'Eurovisa,' an Austrian tourist board official said on Thursday.
The tournament is to be held from June 7-29. As Switzerland is not a full member of the Schengen visa agreement, people from countries whose citizens require visas for visits to Austria and Switzerland would normally have to get two visas.
However, under an agreement between the two nations, supporters will be allowed entry into both countries with a 'Eurovisa' to be issued by Austrian consulates.
"The 'Eurovisa' is a special type of Schengen visa for people coming to Euro 2008," said the tourist board official.
"It enters into force in the spring of 2008. A tourist requesting this type of visa will have to prove that he is going to Euro 2008. This can be a ticket for a match or a document confirming that he or she is to receive one," he added.
Russia will play Greece, Spain and Sweden in Group D at Euro 2008 following the results of the draw for the competition in Lucerne, Switzerland on December 3.

Russians are coming

The funniest thing is that Germans, Croats and Poles are in the same group. I voted for Croatia, im from Glasgow but i work in Zagreb, and things they do... u have to see (and hear) it to believe! First and above all. And especialy in Austria, bacause its only 2-3 hours by car from Croatia, there is aproximately 50,000 Croats living in Austria plus almost half a million Croats who live in Germany and about 100,000 Croats living in Switzerland, I think this could be their top. And their group is also very interesting, Austia is at home, Ive said about Croatia, lots of germans will surely come "down there", and poles are also preety good supporters. And with two matches marked as "high risk game" (Aus vs. Cro and Ger vs. Pol), this is going to be hell of the group... :)

[johan neeskens]

1) Croatia

2) Poland

3) Germany

It's pretty easy and cheap for supporters of all countries to travel to either Switzerland or Austria though, even by plane. That's part of the charm of the Euros, all countries are represented by a good number of fans.

i have doubts about loyality of dutch fans after i saw ajax fans,but maybee i'm wrong and dutch fans that support other clubs are better.
as for loyality i would go for my,croatian fans.
btw any balkan team fans are louder then the dutch . the loudest fans i saw were turkish for sure.

[Jaga]

Poland vs Croatia will be a good game on the pitch and off.

But Poland has better fans overall.

There are plenty of loyal Ajax fans. I doubt many clubs in the world treat their mosr loyal fans with the disdain with which Ajax does. It's pretty much a miracle that anybody still shows up at Ajax games.

So pherhaps you better stick to Croatia and it's neighbours before making bold claims about people in a country at a club you know shit about, based on two games :rolleyes:

Concerning the Turks, I agree. But in my experience fans can be pretty loud everywhere.

no offense i dont shit on anyone i'm just saying what i heard and saw. its johan neeskens who made a bold claim not me, that the Dutch are hardly the most loyal or loud fans.

Sweden, Berlin 2008. I say no more. Some countries fans are overrepresented here. That off coarse shows in the statistics on this thread.

[Borussia]

Yeah, there's lots of Croatians here! :)

Of course I remember that great Swedish night in Berlin. Thus I mentioned Sweden as well in my posting.
