Etihad Atmosphere - 2022/23

Wow, Argentina’s fans have been outstanding so far in the World Cup.

They sing songs quite slowly which means more people can join in. They use drums in a good way. Loads of them stand up and bounce around.

The flags/shirts/scarves waving looks amazing.
They keep it simple, with good,loud, effective rhythm.

We should capture some of these anthems....and get Zabba as the songmaster/cappo.
 
Whilst we’re on the subject of poor support.

Let’s be honest, England’s (FOC) support was sh*t tonight. I think the first England chant was 15 minutes into the game. The next chant was on the 23rd minute. And so on. Compare that to the Argentinian support last night, which was constant across the whole stadium and throughout the game.

England have a good young away following who are into beer, sniff and a fight to thier detriment, but they do make some noise and get behind the team. Unfortunately most can’t afford the cost of the flights and hotels. Some people would say thankfully.

Maybe City should invite a few Senegalese supporters over. On the terraces 2 hours before kick off, chanting, dancing, bongo drums and a brass band playing throughout the game. :-)

The Argentina support has been excellent but a big difference is that hundreds of Argentine ultras are being paid to get the atmosphere going at every game. Yea some of the Senegalese fans are tremendous.

England’s support has been bang average in comparison.

You can see the Ultras stood up at the front of the stand behind the goal leading the chanting throughout the game. They’ve also brought their instruments, which every Argentinian club fan base has.(on Instagram, etc) The Ultras aside, all the other Argentina fans in every part of the stadium also join in with the chanting, jumping up and down, waving their arms in the air, and waving their shirts and tops in the air.
