[Kaveh Ahangar]

I went to Loftus Road when Iran lost 3-0 to QPR. 5,000 Iranian fans were there, but we made enough noise to sound like 50,000.

azadi with esteghlal, perspolis match. Nothing is like that!

I went during this past summer to the season opener of Perspolis vs Teraktor. Despite only an attendance of 40 000 (it was a holiday so a lot of people went go up north) but the amount of swearing and fighting in the stadium was ridiculous (they even cut off the television sound due to the swearing).

lol.. I'm speaking about National games, where you have 85thousand fans supporting the same team..

I've also been FA Cup semi, when Man Utd played Everton, that was a great day, but pity that we lost.

some games have been like that, I admit.. but when it's a competitive game (ukraine,croatia , world cup qualifier ), then it's electrifying.

commentator says alot, as he's sitting in his 'OWN BOX' .. how would he know the atmostphere of the fans lol

I've been to tons of games. In Iran I've been to both Amjadieh and Azadi Stadiums. The best atmosphere in Iran was for Persepolis's win over the 8-0er's Al Hilal where the stadium exploded after Kermani Moghaddam's goal. I've never seen such intense waves with all 100,000 fans particpating in.
In the US I've been to Anaheim Stadium, the LA Collesium, the Yale Bowl, Rutgers Stadium, Foxboro Stadium, Gillette Stadium, Giants Stadium, RFK Stadium, Renschler Field and the Silverdome. Most of these have been for International Games, although some were also for club games. The best atmosphere is a toss up between a US-Brazil game at the Yale Bowl where the visiting team (Brazil) showed what fan support should be like. The other is the US-Switzerland game in the Silverdome during the 1994 World Cup although I think much of the atmosphere was created as a result of the stadium being roofed and containing all of the noise.
I saw the US beat England 2-0 in 1993 at Foxboro. While the English fans were very supportive of their team and cheered each player loudly as their name was announced, I still clearly remember the loud BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that they let out when the name of their coach was also announced (Graham Taylor). Given the final score of the game, their booing was understood and justified.

I was at Lyon when Iran beat USA 2 - 1 in 1998. That was my best experience and I have been to a lot of games. I was 6 or 7 rows from the field in the same corner that Mahdavikia got the pass from Daei and started running toward US goal. I had a bottle of coke in my hand and I knew Kia is going to score but had no time to put the bottle down, so when he scored the bottle went up in the air and everyone was so excited that I don't know what happend to it!!!

[Demis-11]

Graham Taylor was the most hated man in England during the early/mid nineties. They blamed him for everything, especially England's failure to qualify for USA 94.

The Sun newspaper famously superimposed his face onto that of a turnip, giving him the nickname 'Turnip Taylor':
