Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
It´s been ages since I posted a video here on my blog but here I am coming with one today. Why? Well, because photos wouldn´t do justice to what this post will be about - the amazing atmosphere that was on the prestigious and hotly anticipated football battle between Wisla Krakow and Legia Warszawa (1:0), two traditional rivals in the highest Polish football league known as Ekstraklasa.
The game took place here in Krakow last Sunday and it was an amazing experience. The Wisla Stadium (that has a capacity of 33,000 people) was almost full (I guess it was not entirely full only because of some minor remaining covid restrictions) and the home fans created a truly frantic atmosphere as they were chanting and rooting for their players during the whole game and even after that. Legia fans were also present on the match and they supported their team massively too but they had no chance to drown out the super loud home crowd.
A proud fan of my Czech hometown club SFC Opava, I have been an active football fan for some 25 years but I must admit I haven´t experienced such a thrilling atmosphere on a football game before. The Poles simply love football and they are super loyal and supportive of their clubs, which is something I really value and respect.
How about you guys? Are you football fans? Have you been to a game with an atmosphere like this? Where was it? Let me know in the comment section below, I am looking forward to checking out your experience :)
Edit: I am sorry guys but as usually when I tried to upload something on DTube, it doesn´t work. The video is not playing, it messed up my tags. Looks like the two hours of work on that video platform was nothing but waste of time. I thought things improved with DTube but obviously not. Sorry.
Edit 2: I just uploaded it on Youtube, here is the link ;)

Zdravím #cesky!
Vím, že tady máme pár fotbalových nadšenců, tak se musím podělit o zážitek z nedělního šlágru polské ligy mezi Wislou Krakow a varšavskou Legií. Já osobně jsem aktivním fotbalovým fandou už asi 25 let, ale musím říct, že takhle skvělou atmosféru jsem v Česku ještě na fotbale nezažil. Téměř plný 33-tisícový stadion, obrovská celosektorová chorea, pyro, chorály... Byl to fakt hukot. Jasně, u nás ani takhle velké stadiony nemáme (např. stadion WKS Wroclaw, družebního klubu našeho SFC, má kapacitu přes 45 tisíc lidí a ani ten není největší v zemi), ale myslím, že větší roli v tom hraje mentalita Poláků, kteří prostě fotbal milují a za své kluby by dýchali.
U nás se atmosférou asi nejvíc blíží zápasy Baníku (hlavně při derby s Opavou a při zápasech proti pražským S) a řekl bych, že geografická a kulturní blízkost asi nebude v tomto případě náhodná :)
Jaký fotbalový zápas udělal z hlediska atmosféry největší dojem na vás? Byli jste někdy na fotbale mimo ČR? Jak to aktuálně vypadá třeba v Premier League, 
Edit: Tak to vypadá, že DTube opět "nezklamalo" a video nejede. Jako většinou, když jsem přes tuhle platformu zkoušel něco nahrát. Ach jo.
Edit 2: Nakonec jsem to aspoň narychlo hodil na Youtube, odkaz je nahoře ;)
