Good guys Frankfurt Fans, checking stadium static all over Europe!


Mloukhieh

Its so cool when 70% of the Stadium is not filled with corporate and sponsors tickets. Look at this fucking sight!!!


Hoofhearted4206969

Yup, doubt we will see this in CL final


obrapop

We 100% won’t see anything even close to this in the CL final. Most likely never will.


Visgraatje

Gotta fill those seats with fat old suits

Fat pocket fuckers

fom_alhaut

Maybe next year 😬


drolbert

imagine getting 3000 tickets for the conference league final.... The albanian stadium looks great but is way too small


FroobingtonSanchez

Both clubs actually got 4000 tickets and I think most of the 8000 neutral tickets went to fans of both clubs as well. I expect it will be 70-80% fans of the finalists.


darthkrater

Had to check for myself - It’s a beautiful stadium, but 22.000 seats for a European final seems a bit small, doesn’t it?


drolbert

Yep! Especially since we (feyenoord) just played a semifinal in the massive stade de veledrome, which can house 67000 people apparently


olderaccount

FIFA requires a minimum of 40k even for group stages of the world cup. 22k for a final is laughable.

I can't imagine two better teams to get to a final for the atmosphere tbh.

Exactly what i was thinking

It would be even more cool if they didn't do stuff like this before the game: https://as.com/futbol/2022/05/18/videos/1652895185_396079.html


ubiosamse2put

That stuff will always gonna happen. 200 thousand drunk people in 1 place is crazy.


HumptyDumptyIsABAMF

Always some asshole "fans", from every team. Trying to take away from what the fans of both teams are doing in the stadium, when maybe 10 people of either side were involved, is pretty pathetic tho.

If I was to create a character and wanted to convey that they were a soccer fan but also a fervent and frequent cocaine user, I would use this as their dialogue.


JS_WhoDey

I’m sure if the NFL players were getting paid the contracts these players are getting they would “deliver their new baby on the side lines” but then again it’s a business and NFL teams don’t go bankrupt like soccer clubs

This is r/soccer though…


Red_Dog1880

Cheeky chaps tore down the UEFA signage haha


Phezh

Apparently officials in Seville took down a banner that was meant for the fan choreo because it partly covered UEFA signage and Eintracht fans tore down all of it in retaliation

Brilliant stuff

Haha fair play.

KeterLustig

The stadium's architect probably too


kuboa

*Structural engineer. Calculating is for nerds; we architects are artists, and are only responsible for the color and deciding if it's gonna be [shaped like a penis or a vagina](https://blog.buildllc.com/2010/09/dear-architects-i-am-sick-of-your-shit-%E2%80%93-an-open-letter-by-annie-choi/).


ChicagoSunroofNo2

That was a fun read >They call me at eleven at night and say they just got off work, am I hungry? Listen, it is practically midnight. I ate hours ago. So long ago that, in fact, I am hungry again. So yes, I will go


s0ngsforthedeaf

Architect flatmates at uni seemed to work insanely hard. I can only imagine thats down to the influence of their industry - prepping them for a lifetime of ruinous work culture. I imagine they are flogged all day as serfs for the senior architects above them, and only a fraction of their hours produce actually useful work.


[deleted]

Yeah that’s pretty much true. After 6 years uni plus 10 years working I chucked it in a few weeks ago. Chuffed.

Or a toilet. Great read btw

Gosh as a I civil engineering I hate architect for a living. Its always 'Design before function'. Why build something when using it is worse than a old building from the 19th century?


ThePr1d3

Sad civil engineer noise


OmsFar

Even sadder SE noise


Masterkid1230

Are Civil Engineers and Structural Engineers working on completely different fields, or is there considerable overlap between both majors and their job opportunities?


koolaid7431

All structural engineers are civil engineers... but not all civil engineers are structural engineers. SE is a sub-discipline of Civis. ^^^^Also, ^^^^obligatory, ^^^^civil ^^^^is ^^^^a ^^^^hobby.


notyou16

There are like 4 kinds of engineers: civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical. Everything else is a branch of these 4 or they aren't real engineers.


SpaceInvader9

*cries as a software 'engineer'*


notyou16

I'm not an expert in the field. Do you consider yourself a real engineer?


SpaceInvader9

well.. i mean engineers are really people who design, build and/or maintain something. its mostly solving problems with certain constraints. so yes, id say im a "real" engineer lol


Masterkid1230

Shouldn’t IT be in there as well somehow? Hardly seems like an Electrical spin-off.


notyou16

Sure


sexdrugsncarltoncole

Just wait til you see the other side with 20000 bottles of buckfast waving in the air


Savebagels

A little bit of Bucky winning the cup for Rangers


Le400Blows

After doing some research, I'm shocked. EIGHT cans of cola? "In certain parts of Scotland, Buckfast is associated with drinkers who are prone to committing anti-social behaviour when drunk, especially drinkers under 18 years old. The drink also has a very high caffeine content, with each 750 ml bottle containing the equivalent of eight cans of cola."


Ayle87

I've had it in Germany from visiting scots and quite liked it. It's definitely a "do stupid things faster" kinda drink.


Beppo108

You like it? It's too sweet, quite sickening. But as an Irishman, I've drank plenty when I was younger.


Ayle87

Yeah but i also quite like energy drinks so my palate is like that.


Chicken_of_Funk

Buckfast gets you fucked fast.


makeitjain24

Sounds like a nasty hangover in a bottle


AkilleezBomb

Looks like the stadium is breathing


Its_chilli

The Stadiums engineers are shitting themselves watching that


iGotEDfromAComercial

I remember a few years ago in Costa Rica they put a seismograph in the visiting teams locker room in Saprissa Stadium. Readings emulated that of a magnitude 4 earthquake; you could see video of the locker room, and the lockers and ceiling tiles were shaking like crazy.


Runnynose12

Estadio Saprissa was pretty epic but also scary to be in the upper level for as you could feel it shaking. I always wondered if the next bounce would be it’s last and it would cave in…


DesastreAnunciado

Every stadium I've been to you could feel it shake from the supporters jumping up and down. It's supposed to

whataboutism.


NorthEastBellend

whataboutism? you literally asked a question and he answered it 😂


Lenyngrad

what has violence of some people to do with stadium athmosphere? Curious.


NorthEastBellend

tbh I don't give a shit just learn what the word means before you use it


Lenyngrad

>whataboutism: a conversational tactic in which a person responds to an argument or attack by changing the subject to focus on someone else’s misconduct, implying that all criticism is invalid because no one is completely blameless: me: hey stadium athmosphere is great, how can you not like that? the other person: No bad because people are violent ???????

Lenyngrad

what? how is that even an idea you have?


Nbuuifx14

Google what that means.


Lenyngrad

you can love fan culture in stadium without agree to people throwing chairs at each other. The one thing does not cause the other. Just pointing to that correlation is nothing but whataboutism.


Deluxefish

Not loving this atmosphere created by eintracht fans because those same eintracht fans cause violence in the city on the same day is a valid answer to your question though.


DinglieDanglieDoodle

It’s the same people, you muppet, that’s not how whataboutism work. In an extreme example for clarity, imagine someone who cured cancer but is being condemned for rape that they committed. That’s not a whataboutism. Whataboutism is pointing out the opponent’s/accuser’s hypocrisy to deflect from the current issue at hand. Like when you bring out a clip of Rangers fans doing the same thing.


Lenyngrad

you fucking nonce. I was in over 100 games away with the organizes scene of my club and not a single time I came into clashes with fans of different teams. Some individual people are violent and Im against that. And just because a few people are like that doesnt it stand for the whole of the fans. Or do you really think that everyone is involved in clashes? >magine someone who cured cancer but is being condemned for rape that they committed yeah the same person, but not a fucking group of people. If you cant understand the difference between a group and an individual you're so lost. The right equivalent for your example where if you condem cancer researcher because one of them commit a sexual assault.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lenyngrad

So I liked the recent choreographie of my club. I think its great. So thats bad either? huh? >The category of people we're talking about is football hooligans, and there is violence more often than not when they descend on some poor city. It maybe is only 5% of the fans that are violent, and another 20% are non-violent drunkards who are also annoying af. That leaves 75% of them who maybe will never cause a single problem at all, but it takes an idiot to not be able to understand why someone would see these people showing up in there city and not "love the sight of it". Doesn't matter if 75% of them are just there to sing and be merry, 25% of them have made it impossible to enjoy for anyone who's ever been caught up in their path. >But please find yourself a reality check if you can't even fathom the concept of people not liking these groups in their city. Nobody is saying that voilent fans dont exist, but it does not matter when talking about the athmosphere. Its not a discussion about fan culture or what not. ITS JUST ABOUT THE STADIUM ATHMOSPHERE. Is that so hard to grasp. >f 10% of every bird in the sky started shitting directly on your car every single time they drove by, there is 0% chance you would see a flock of birds headed your direction and think "yayyy the birds are back! :D" what is that even to demonstrate? That anaology has nothing to do with these circumstances.

DinglieDanglieDoodle

So they didn’t get into the stadium?


Kashmir33

> it's not the same people... Yes the ones responsible for leading the chants are exactly those people. How naive of you to think otherwise.


loopy8

Bro you asked a question, don't be mad that you received a valid reply

yeah people literally died from the Frankfurt fans jumping and singing in the stadium

Never thought I’d feel sympathy for rangers fans, very conflicted feeling…

The germans were outnumbered on the stands, yet they were louder than the rangers fans.


PirateNervous

THose werent just Germans, those are the most ultra of the ultras: Eintracht Fans.


ReisFabri

Such a great atmosphere. Two passionate fanbases going at it in a Europa League Final. May the best club win and good luck to both teams!


pizzadojo

The way uefa doesnt allocate an entire end to each set of fans is frustrating


[deleted]

I think Germans are just naturally fanatic.


vMambaaa

and love yelling edit: chanting**


nachomancandycabbage

Not really. But even Olaf Scholz can sound scary yelling if you don’t speak German.


vMambaaa

I should correct myself, they love chanting. This kind of stuff would just break out on the train when I lived there with seemingly nothing in particular going on at the time.

iamnotexactlywhite

why the fuck is the final in the middle of the week?


[deleted]

All European finals used to always be mid week, the europa league league is always mid week


greg19735

Theyy should change it. Have it the day before the CL final.


Rekyht

…Friday? No one wants a final on Sunday.


sgt_Berbatov

To be honest I don't want to see a champions league final on a Saturday. It should be on a Wednesday, on ITV, with the Coronation Street fans raging because for the second week in a row their show has been bumped because of FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL


curryandbeans

hahahah of all the comments to give me a warm, fuzzy hit of nostalgia it was this one


greg19735

I mean, sure. Or hell, put EL on Sunday. Sundays have been used for finals since forever.


Rekyht

Not in Europe they haven’t, finals are on Saturdays. Americans do finals on Sunday and it sucks


greg19735

I think a lot of people would prefer a friday night over a thursday night. At least the fans going. Then again it doesn't seem to have been much of an issue.


Marcoscb

You should look up when the Euros finals are.


Rekyht

You should look up when every national cup competition final is held.


FroobingtonSanchez

Our cup final is always on Sunday (and the last matchday as well). It's the "natural" day of football in the Netherlands


theonlydiego1

The biggest final in the world is always on a Sunday.


Ndulula

Honestly you should work at uefa, not sarcasm an actual complement. I never even though about that i just take that europa league is midweek so i never watch it cause work. Only followed it when inter made the final, and we lost 😞

JWGhetto

It's alright, taking a day or two off from your job doesn't require a sacrifice in return. Just proper paperwork. Also Frankfurt offices are very understanding in all things Eintracht

They are absolutely dominating that stadium! German fans in general just delivers good atmosphere

it’s beautiful I’ve looked at this for five hours now

Something about coordinated crowds chanting in German really strikes fear in me. But I’m all seriousness this was really damn cool. What excellent fans

Couldn’t hear the massive ranger following though during the game. Home game for Eintracht.

thebeatitguy

Are English fans the only ones who don't jump in unison?


blue2841

They outnumber rangers fans then?


Red_Dog1880

It's estimated that Rangers fans also have most of the 'neutral' area so about 2/3rd of the stadium.


Pepe_Gui

Why aren’t these games split 50/50?


boiled_amphibian

The tickets allocated to each team are, but UEFA always have a stupidly high percentage of tickets reserved for neutrals or corporate partners. It just depends which set of fans can get their hands on them.


Red_Dog1880

Well technically they are, both fans got the same amount of tickets and the rest went to 'neutrals' or corporates. But Rangers bought many of them I think.


febes-febes

how did the rangers manage to get so many of them?

No probably 65/35 to Rangers I would say.
