American can hate all they want on soccer but the soccer fans really know how to put on a good show and have fun (except when they beat each other up) which I guess is the flip side of rowdy drunk fans.

Front Range, dude...
I have played soccer all my life, and was still amazed when the village team I played for here (On my first tour, 03-07...) would attract up to 1500 fans to games. Saw Bayern demolish Basel in the Champions Liga q-final last year in Munchen. What a place to see a big game!

where the trails are
I've only been to two soccer games in my life, here in the states.
I agree that there are NO sports fans like soccer fans. Endless singing and/or chanting the entire match, jumping up and down, smoke bombs (or maybe they actually set something on fire). Crazy fun crowd.

Should you ever venture north, please do treat yourself to a Dortmund game, there is nothing like it in Europe.

The problem is most of them are rowdy idiots. At least here. I understand shouting and singing on the match but why all over the damn city. Shut up and watch the game.
