Copa Libertadores =better atmosphere than Champions league!

Hehe. Heartfelt post. Wait the day you find yourself in the middle of a soccer riot.

 

SA people have a bit more temperament than here. So it's not weird that instead of one group you get half the stadium singing.

On the other hand, watching Birmingham - Villa... my speakers almost got blown out. There are still European matches that have incredible atmosphere.

Besides that, a lot of the clubs in CL have a lot of bandwagon fans and generally boring fans who aren't really fans but just like to be a part of something they think is 'cool'... something thye can brag about.

 

Yor right lond2345, Boca fans are part of the most rabid groups, La 12 (as in the "12th" player) is as famous as their club, unfortunately there are always rotten apples everywhere and the violence might be an issue to deal with while attending games in which they're involved.

 

Most big european teams have all seater stadiums..
It takes away alot of the atmposhere if fans are seated..
Clubs also get fined if fans light fireworks and flares during the game....

The thing I like about the south america games is the crowd surges after a goal is scored...
The ball goes in the back of the net and all the crowd behind the goal just surges forward..
I feel sorry for the people right at the front but its entertaining to watch..
However I've been watcing afew south american games this year and I thought that the atmosphere was poor in alot of the games.

 

Reminds me of my only time on the (Liverpool) Kop.
Best wet Wednesday night I've spent I think. Watching QPR get beaten wasn't great, but was expected - however when Liverpool scored (after missing 2 penalties I might add) the surge was chuffin' brilliant. Almost fell and got trampled underfoot, but great.
I can understand the benefits of our system of all seaters here - it's just I miss the terraces so damn much. A lot of the atmosphere has been lost.
I don't know about anyone else but I'd rather spend £8 to stand on the terraces at Deepdale with my bovril and my pie, than spend £15+ to sit down.
Still, most of the prawn sandwich brigade are happy, and that's what counts - right?

 

I thought surging forward happened on all terraces.

We had some of it in the (all seater) Arena for a while, but it didn't really work.

In de Meer it was half the fun I've seen quite a few people go down very, very hard...

 

I'm a Yank who gets Fox Sports World En Espanol and I love it.
The atmosphere is a big part of what makes it great.
The hour long pre-game before the weekly match in Argentina is especially nice as they follow the build up of atmosphere live for an hour before the match as it builds and reaches a fever pitch (no pun intended) and culminates in the post match violence and tear gas (sometimes).
They show lots of great looking women too!

 

It seems like we have the same feed Wolves, however I only have 30 minutes not 60, La Ultima Palabra is a goo show tooo if you speak spanish!

 

The show is called "Minuto Cero" and it's on again this next Sunday at 11:00 AM PDT for 1 hour before the Equipos por Anunciar.. Argentina!
I think the USA feed is slightly different.
Do you get the MLS matches on yours? They show one game a week on the USA feed. That would answer the question as to if it is different.
We do get La Ultima Palabra (the last word).

 

Never known it not to happen.

Big surge forward also when away support got mouthy.

Course if Bates had his way in the early 80's it would have been an "electrifying" expierence for many.

 

Yes, I've seen a couple of MLS games, I think it's the same feed but different programming since I dont have minuto cero but MFL

 

He was the Chelsea president right? Heard about that

 

lond, while I agree about the game, it was a hell of an atmosphere in Old Trafford!

 

Dude so u want to watch a Brazil vs Argentina (in my opinion the best NTs game, full of rivality, full of skill and sometimes full of hard fouls) in the world's biggest stadium(Maracana). for sure u gonna have some fun! and you will see how to support a team. Jumping, singing, swearing, waving.... And like always brazilian you will have to curse Argentina!!!!

about maracana when brazil had a WC in 1950, we got in the finals against Uruguay and everybody says that this day maracana had 200.000 people... not bad huh... unfortunally we lost...

 

Like I said before, it's mostly cultural.

OTOH I don't believe I've been silent for more than 10 seconds in a row at Ajax' CL (away)matches this season. Good atmosphere and lots of emotion. All depends on the importance of the match I guess.
Ajax is known for being pretty silent at times, but we got many compliments for our travelling support in European newspapers and at least one honourable mention for the atmosphere prior to the Ajax - Arsenal match. We were even compared to galatasaray. Although the tension made the stadium a lot more silent during the match. Still not bad

It were some great trips... sigh... Fantastic return to the European top-level. Fantastic season...

But in general SA fans are louder I guess. Although I've seen plenty SA matches that weren't exactly a party either.

Dancing in the stands is for ************s though. It may happen... but only once every few years and with a very good reason

 

Nothing beats a Superclasico atmosphere. Nothing.

 

Ha! You never saw Haarlem - Top Oss.

 

I agree with Iason, AFCA you should watch those matches in TV before you dare to go!

 

Not quite sure what you mean... Haarlem - Top Oss was a joke. And I already said I believe SA atmosphere is better.

 

Nobody here has been at a game between le Français teams, no other athmosphere compares. You all would le know this if you had a little more brain cells.

 

Im starting to understand why americans dislike so much the french.

 

He's harmless Mario.

Oh--and he's also a yank.

 

We don't like the French either. Only the French like the French.
