Because half of the Netherlands will probably riot because there is a large turkisch group living there.
Why?
Because some people cannot handle it when their team loses.
There were also riots when Turkey lost in the WC of football in The Netherlands….
Here in America, we only riot when our team wins, dammit.
Unless it's Philly
No ESPECIALLY Philly
They will riot regardless. The other cities have the restraint to only riot on wins.
Grease the poles! The eagles are playing!
What have polish people done to you?
America Lots of sports fans from what I notice
They know what they did
What makes you think that they aren't into that?
Genuine question: do other cities NOT do this?
They do but Philly has the reputation of being like the trashy alcoholic uncle of cities in the Northeast
Do other cities not pre lube poles to prevent their fan base from destroying public property or injuring themselves? That's the question?
Every season!
They will eat horse shit after a victory. A victory.
I mean, we don't riot after losses. 04 super bowl, 09 world series, 10 cup finals, recent world series and super bowl loses. We rioted less after beating the Patriots when we beat them than they did when they lost.
Exactly!!!!
Philly riots preemptively when the schedule is released
They’re passionate fans. They just need to bash stuff.
I like to think of Philly as our own little France, like what Canada has.
Not true Boston after they lost to Philly in the superbowl so good try
A couple of years ago the Eagles, Phillies, and Union were all in the championship and the Sixers were in the semi-finals iirc. If all those teams won Philadelphia would have ceased to exist. Just be a crater you pass on the way from NY to DC.
This is the process
If they lose they burn a cop car, if they win they burn two.
I love philly
Philly just likes to throw down
Riot when its a win, riot when it's a tie, oh so and so just change teams? riot.
When it's riots in Philly you want, you need grain alcohol
Or an insurrection.
Fuck you, you beat me to it
Here in Canada, we riot whatever the result of the match is.
That's specifically Vancouver though. In fact it's especially Vancouver. I remember we nearly had to cancel a trip to Vancouver due to a travel advisory warning because our team beat the Canucks.
Montreal also rioted over a Stanley cup. Fun fact: I was working downtown Vancouver when the Stanley cup riots were going on and we got tear gassed in the kitchen as our vent system sucked it all in. I would later get tear gassed two more times trying to leave the downtown core to find a cab or anything to make it home since all public transit had been shut down. Good times.
Why do you think the Detroit hasn’t won a championship in so long?
That’s just Philly bro.
Which is why Chicago is still standing.
The students here rioted when the university team lost. It was planned ahead of time, riot either way.
coughs in January 6th 2021 not quite
I lived near OSU campus and I’ve seen a couch burn a few streets from my house, in the road, that was how we found out OSU won their game.
I feel like everyone could learn from hockey fans in Montreal. Riot when your team wins the championship. Riot when your team loses in the playoffs. Riot when your team fails to make it into the playoffs. Riot when they start the preseason. Riot when they sign a new player unexpectedly. Just flip a police cruiser and set it on fire because why not. Montreal doesn’t fuck around.
That's because we're sophisticated
Yeah that's why i was confused by the other comment. Cuz I'm used to riots happening after a win
Explain jan6
Nah canada does that
Seriously they had some HUGE riots after a team won a hockey game
The English do it regardless
January 6th begs to differ
In the uk we do it regardless
European soccer fans riot when their team wins and also riot when their team loses. Either way. The tone of the riot may be a bit different tho.
Honduras and El Salvador
If I remember correctly was there a war after this?
Can confirm. Family are from both respective countries.
Football matches end, then turns into an after party... If the party was a Battle Royale.
To be fair politics is compared to sports when politics gets too intense.
Nah i mean why is there a large amount of turkish people in the netherlands of all places?
Back in the 1960's if i'm right. Turkish and morrocan people were brought into the netherlands to be used as cheap laborers. They were supposed to return to turkey but most never did and ended up staying here with their family
Wild. I wonder if countries like turkey and poland and pakistan have massive groups of western europeans living in their country for no apparent reason
No, people don't immigrate for no reason. Most folks really don't wanna move to a place with a different culture and language.
Turkey in the 1960s had a lot of people migrating from small villages towards larger cities, and since most people were farmers there weren't enough opportunities for the people.
Germany in the 1960s was recovering and rebuilt from WW2, and their neighbors did have a similar situation. They needed people to feed the rapidly recovering economy.
There were more countries in Europe that had a bit of a labor shortage, people moved there too. Germany just had the biggest need, and people also moved to nearby places as-well if they needed workers.
Might've seen people immigrate from Europe to say the US or Asia if the Nazis/Communists had thrown nukes at each other, or if the US didn't have a shitton of money to inject into Europe during the rebuilding.
Right on the money, here's some extra info;
Family reunification laws were put in place that originally weren't there, so later on the workers that came over were able to stay and get their family over as well. That's why these communities also tend to be quite concentrated in certain areas of larger cities (I live in one of them).
The Moroccans and Turkish "guest" laborers (as they were called) were preceded by Spanish laborers, but they mostly returned to Spain.
Also the Turks tend to be extremely.. vocal, about their patriotism/nationalism/whatever and that extends to football too. Something they commonly do in celebration is make a huge convoy and drive around town honking and shouting all night. Sadly super common especially in my part of Germany.
But why Timmy from FOP?
Oh but if England hurl a few words when they lose suddenly we're the bad guys but it's ok for Turkey to RIOT /s
They will also riot when they win. Not all turkish people in the Netherlands riot when anything happens in a football match, but those who do should be deported back to turkey without any kind of process. They don't belong here
That was Morocco
So the Turks are just overseas NFL fans got it
Because they’re losers with no life and that one specific thing in this case football is all they have.
Just to be clear, are you referring to the Dutch here or Turkish people?
Neither, referring to people that riot because a sports team wins or loses
OK makes way more sense, my bad
All good, coulda phrased it better, rereading it coulda been any of the three
The most nationalistic Turks live in Germany or the Netherlands. Because turkey is the greatest.
Because they do not want to assimilate
Because their immigration policy is too liberal
Put them all in a big cannon and send them home
No, they created this problem for themselves let them live with it
Because soccer fans are spoilt children.
They're soccer fans
Football*
Point made ^
It's fairly odd that Timmy praying to God to make it so when he could.just ask Cosmo and Wanda?
Bad translation
You're correct that that's the joke. But honestly, one could have said the same thing against Poland. Nothing happened then.
A little over 2% of the population of the Netherlands is Turkish...
Idk why you were being downvoted, because you're right. Between 2/3% is of Turkish decent.
Have a look at this video 🤨;
There were unfortunately some riots
Half of Netherlands will probably not be there regardless of the score
I make the same joke about Germany and Turkey with the finals.
I am pretty sure that there will be riots if one beats the other in the final.
I’m more inclined to say it’s because of the whole situation surrounding Merih Demiral, as opposed to your reason.
Not saying you’re wrong, but my bet would be because of his celebration.
Name a European country where a large Turkish group doesn't live?
afaik, ive heard germans say this because of the turks who live in berlin. the turks treated their win against austria like theyd just won the entire competition, and were celebrating constantly. the germans wanted them to get completely destroyed to stop the noise.
Thats what i was thinking, Yesterday they celebrated so hard where i live, main roads where crowded with ppl and they honked threw the whole night.
It is not a racial stereotype to say that the majority of turkish people, or people with turkish ancestry, celebrate WAY TO FUCKING LOUD AND WAY TOO LATE INTO THE EVENING! And it's not even just football! Every time one of them marries, they drive around in a cluster of cars and just start honking! It is so damn annoying!
While I do not condone the threats of violence many of them have received for these traditions (they are uncionable and wrong), it is still massively cathartic to see their long faces whenever their team loses.
I am a turk and live in turkey it happens here everytime i understand your hate i hate it too its so dumb to celebrate with honking
Overall I agree with you, I don't like that either, but you're wrong when you're saying that it is the majority of Turkish people.
It is as always a loud minority. Most of the turks in Germany are regular people who are just living their lives without getting too much attention. I am turkish living in Germany btw.
You're the minority
Prove it.
Can confirm i am Turkish and it fucking bothers me as well. We celebrate and make loud noises when there is a wedding or our team wins a game or our children gets circumcised and so on and so forth.
It's not a stereotype to say that Turkish people all behave in the same way that you personally find disagreeable? Man, I'd be curious to find out what you DO consider a stereotype.
A stereotype is something that is either wrong, exaggerated or applied from a minority to the rest of a group.
This is none of those things. There are actual questionaires and studies into how this specific subculture celebrates and why they do it. The supermajority of turkish people say they celebrate like that and want to keep doing it. I can go out on the street and question turkish-germans right now about that, and probably get close to the same answers, and I actually did that about ten years ago for a school project.
Like, how much more fact can it become?
Stereotypes aren't necessarily wrong. A better word for what you're thinking of is "prejudice."
The supermajority of turkish people say they celebrate like
Where did you see that?
Where are you from bro? Come to Rotterdam when Turkey (or Morocco for that matter) wins an important football game haha.
Unless you have met the majority of Turkish people, what you have described is quite literally a stereotype...???
I don't mind the celebrating. But if you do celebrate, don't be a disturbance. Be like the Brits and go to a pub or bar or back to the hotel or home. Don't annoy and disturb regular ass people who just want to go home from work and probably didn't even watch the game. And respect Ruhezeit.
What about the other way around? Honking your horn for celebration is illegal in the Netherlands, here you're only allowed to use your horn for its intended purpose (notifying other of danger). A cop got stabbed for writing a fine out to someone who was celebrating a wedding.
Germany has a huge population of Turkish immigrants. The idea of a German and Turkish final would be cool because it’d basically be a home game for both. The atmosphere would be electric.
When they won last time they were honking like the end of the world until 1 in the morning. I live next to that street.
I am ready to see them fly out of the EM faster than a boeing in a nosedive.
They do the same in the Netherlands, they love driving around and honking their horns, it's a big stereotype. Whenever I hear several cars honking their horns it's always because Turkey won a football match.
Fun fact: as a Turk who dislikes loud-cukture İ experienced several illegal fireworks in the front of my window/garden whenever germans won a match. They have no bussiness being that up-their-arse.
In my city (Ghent, Belgium) they did this too
Why the heck is Timmy Turner praying to god when he has magic little fish that grant his every wish?
additionally, in reality, they are his godparents
fairly odd parents, even
They cant help you win a competition, it’s in Da Rules!
he had to take his complaint to the higher-ups
peter's dutch cousin pieter van der griffin's pack of olie bollen here, might be reading too much into it but last world cup there were riots in netherlands when marocco lost after a really good run since there is a large moroccan population in netherlands. Germans and Dutch are kinda a long standing derby on international level, kinda real and barca thing and if dutchies will whoop turkiye's ass in the upcoming match it would very likely cause big riots in germany since they have a massive turkish population and turks are really serious about their football (anyone ever been to istambul? Went to galata and fenerbace derby once it was crazy). Pieter's bollen out
Wait.. so.. it's Istanbul and NOT Constantinople?
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Why DID Constantinople get the works?
Hey. That's nobody's business but the Turks'.
Fair enough. Hell even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they'd change it I can't say.
I think people just liked it better that way
Why did Constantinople get the works?
It'll cause riots in the Netherlands as well, plenty of Turks here.
I live in a mainly Moroccan and Turkish neighborhood, I made the grave mistake of taking the bus when Morocco just had a game. Huge crowd just surrounded the bus and started pushing it from side to side and throwing (albeit minor for our dutch standards) fireworks under the bus.
Needless to say I was pretty pissed with that shit and they can fuck right off with rioting like that.
On a daily basis I live in San siro (during PSG games last year we had massive riots and people have died) and I'm from Poland (notorious for insane football supporters, even the Turks don't have shit on us, a while ago we had problem with supporter groups that were notorious for cutting off limbs of the supporters of the local enemy club like in cracow) I like the game but there is culture and there is gang warfare lol. The footballers are also not great, a while ago we had mauro Icardi here (famous argentinian striker) who run most likely a human trafficking ring
That's proper mad shit. Fucken hell.
Turkish football is notorious for violence, riots, and “ultra” fans. With the large amount of Turkish living in the Netherlands, there would likely be a ton of animosity from the ultras towards the Dutch fans which would cause fights, clashes, riots, etc
I think nobody mentioned this yet, but the little guy in picture is Timmy from Fairly Oddparents
That’s the part that’s bugging me, why is he praying to God and not just wishing to Cosmo and Wanda
I think that part is just nonsense humor. Not everything has to make sense
The young lad wants the Netherlands to beat Türkiye 3 goals to 0
You’d probably need to be a soccer buff to understand why that’s funny enough to make a meme out of though
What's the significance of the score?
3-0 basically means utter victory for the Dutch leaving the Turks with nothing to be happy about
Why not 5-0?
Because there might be still hope left dangling at 3-0 which prolongs the suffering.
Because why let any Turk be happy about anything ever?
The short answer is "because they were being annoying af" .
Germans had been complaining that Turks in Berlin were being annoying (honking their car horns all night etc) after beating Austria in the last round, so another German posted this meme
İ actually live in germany and İ can tell you as someone who hates loud-culture, whenever germany wins hell breaks lose in my garden. Germans have no bussiness blaming Turks for being loud at all.
You're giving "Turkish nationalist arguing that Turkey is best country in the world from his apartment in Berlin" energy
And to top it all off, this individual has commented the same thing repeatedly
Because İ'm sick of people pretending like we're the only ones doing something slightly annoying.
Again İ hate loud-culture but İ never divided people who annoyed me into different ethnic groups and were like "[ethnicity] people are the worst in germany İ tell ya!"
Oh but when we call you out suddenly thats inappropriate, suddenly we're all "berlin partiotic turks". Suddenly we the problem screw you
You are in Germany...getting annoyed that the Germans celebrate when Germany win...
You are in Germany, sucuk. Behave yourselves.
You're mistaken, I don't give a crap about the fact that you're a turk or not. It's about how you are presenting everything. If you had instead called out the fact that they were targeting a specific group for being loud, that'd be different. Instead, you stooped to their level and did the exact same thing.
The Netherlands just beat Romania 3-0
3-0 is a complete blowout in soccer.
3-0 is when it starts to become a blow out
OP: "I don't understand this i need help"
Dipshit: "you probably need to know soccer to understand this"
I am that very dipshit
Peter’s friend who’s in Vienna here. The euro cup is going on right now. Austria beat the Netherlands a week ago in the group stage then got knocked out by Turkey yesterday. It’d be really funny if the Netherlands won in their upcoming match with Turkey, which will be on Saturday. At least that’s my take.
Hello, Peter's European uncle here. Currently there is a football tournament called the euros in Europe and in an upcoming game the Netherlands will play against Turkey. The Turkish fans are known for being very passionate about their country and for having a high population in other European countries like the Netherlands. So if the Netherlands beat Turkey 3-0 (which is very high for football) the Turks will probably riot everywhere in Europe and that's pretty funny
Or this person just doesn't like Turkey
Same as the France-Morocco 2 years ago
iirc, something happened between the turks and the dutch which caused riots in turkey against them…except they rioted in front of the french embassy because they had the same colours in their flag
i might have the details messed up but they had something like that happen a couple years back
Also he has to pray to God since he can't wish his godparents to make it happen. Da rules.
In general I would prefer a tie as I want everyone to be equally miserable
They're in the quarterfinals so a tie isn't possible, though I would love to see the tomfoolery that will happen if the dutch wins by a landslide 😂
Have you been to Buffalo, New York? Some people can't handle winning!
Why would he pray to god when he has fairy godparents?
Currently European championship is going on and Germany is the host country.
This is one of the quarter-finally matchups and it'll be played in Berlin. Turkish fans around Europe(who are many due to immigration) celebrated the win from earlier round like they've won the whole thing and all the honking and fireworks made other people mad.
OOP wants them to lose significantly so Turks can stfu completely or turn celebrations into riot.
But why does Timmy Turner need to pray for that? Can't he just use his wish fish?
Anyone without literal emotional regulation issues that goes smashing up other people's property and ruining their surroundings because of a sports game needs to have their voting PRIVILEGES revoked
The Euros
Im in the netherlands rn and what can i say , i wouls like that to not happen '_'
You would like netherlands not to win?
I thought that was France and china bro
Netherlands should be winning it realistically
It's absolutely wishful thinking but we have the opportunity to make the biggest party ever
Peter’s Dutch cousin’s former roommate’s brother here: Turks in the Netherlands seem to have an extremely high nationalism for Turkey
Timmy!
I lived in Germany near Stuttgart for a summer during the Euro, and I can confirm the Turkish celebrated more loudly after a win than all other countries.
The Turks can cry about it
After what they did to Constantinople, I agree.
"Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night"
I think the Netherlands and Türkiye are in bad relations because a while ago the Turks destroyed a Dutch embassy because they thought it was the flag of Russia. I'm not sure if that is related to this but just some info
Never happened, we did however kick a couple of their politicians out who came here to campaign among our Turkish population. That's 7 years ago though and I doubt it's what the meme is about.
I guess that short was lying, ig that makes sense
They did burn a French flag on TV during that incident, mistaking it for a Dutch one, maybe that's what you have in mind?
I heard that they tried to burn a Dutch flag because the Netherlands was mad at them for burning their own flag, thinking it was Russian
Lol wut? Didn't even know this.
I think it's the same as every European country: when the turks winz they get in their cars, drive around and honk like idiots. They do it all night long (or at least deep into the night. Idiots.. perhaps return to turkey lol).
Meme Format: Timmy Turner Praying
Turkey and Netherlands are facing each other in UEFA Euro on Saturday
Turkey is likely to win but if they lose they'd go nuts, so I think netherlands win would be whats funny to Timmy
Turkey is likely to win
Turkey are 5/1 underdogs to win the game. On paper the Netherlands is a far stronger team. Although to be fair, so were Austria.
Different levels completely. Austria looked marginally better than Turkey on paper. The Dutch boast world class talent far superior to Turkey. You are right however that "Turkey is likely to win" is hilariously misguided
Fair, but remember that Austria did outplay and beat the Netherlands in the group stage. They've got some decent attacking players and consistently performed at a level greater than the sum of their parts.
Totally agree with that. Ragnick had Austria playing greater than the sum of their parts. Something that unfortunately, as an American, my imbecile of a manager has never been able to do despite arguably having more talent
How the fuck are turkey likely to win??
Mr. Crocker Here.
He is Timmy Turner, and he doesn't pray to GOD he has FAIRY GODPARENTS!
I am from Germany and those goddam turks Drive around at 00:00 and honk their fucking Horns all the time. They didnt like me shooting their cars with my air gun, but i also dont like not beeing able to sleep :)
I think 30 or 3-0 may mean something not good for Turks
you are getting downvoted but are the only one on the right track. 31 is a slang term in turkish for masturbation. https://www.quora.com/What-does-31-mean-in-Turkey
So he wants the score to be 3-1 because it's turkish slang for masturbation? So the joke is "haha masturbation?"
