Just 3 examples here of superior atmospheres inside stadia when compared with those in the big european leagues, EPL, La Liga, Seria A and Bundesliga.

Why is this?
Liverpool fans and the two up in Scotland like to think they have the best set of fans in the world, When nothing they do can even remotely match the fans in Turkey, Greece, Poland, Serbia, Croatia and Argentina.

What do you mean by 'match the fans'?

We're not as murderous or racist as the turks or iti's, for example. Noise != atmosphere.

Well, Mainly the noise they create, The imagination they have of doing crazy things inside stadia's, The flares and the Jumping up and down.

Well you get the idea, The whole atmosphere is so much better out there than it is here and most other european leagues.

Yea, Singing the same thing over and over again.

Great, Just what everyone wants to hear.
Not saying it's bad, Just nowhere near the level of fanaticism displayed in those nations.

Fanaticism can be linked with extremism. Going too far with something.

That isn't a good thing.

I agree to an extent, Sometimes it does go overboard and i don't condone what goes on in those nations.

Just saying i would much prefer the level of support they dish out compared to the boring same old crap we get over in the UK and other european nations.

its their song, would you rather they picked a new one every week?

do you even support a team or go to any of their matches?

I don't support any given team here in the UK, But i have been to a few games in London.

Arsenal and Tottenham to be precise.
I've been to Istanbul and seen games between the big 3 over there, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş and Galatasaray and i much prefer watching and getting involved over there than i would ever do here.
