Charlton were losing 1-0 and equalised (tied the game) 6 minutes into stoppage time, making it 1-1. Only for Portsmouth to score again and make it 2-1, 8 minutes into stoppage time.
Gotcha. Concede means something different here (i.e. they gave up, like if your school team can't field enough players, you concede. Or in chess if youre inevitably gonna get checkmate, you concede)
Be it in the US somewhere, you’d be right. But in Europe fans do influence the game a lot, putting pressure on guest team/pushing home team beyond limits
In American football, the home crowd can make it difficult to call audibles. Teams sometimes will get a delay of game penalty, and I think most teams have an alternate (probably less flexible) method of calling audible for away games.
Having said that, I don't recall American stadiums creating many earthquakes...
They can't polish complete turds but the '12th man' in football/soccer can certainly influence games...plenty of famous results which wouldn't have been possible without the crowd. Opposition players and managers freely admit it.
I havent heard the cheers of the stadium from the losing section in a while lmao hilarious POV
Karma is a beautiful thing 🤣
British soccer games look like so much fun to attend. I love that they sing chants as well

How the tables have turned

Millwall 'fan' if I had to guess
Crystal Palace lol, just as bad 🤣
Cheers aren't binding?
Next you'll tell me my high school basketball team wasn't dynamite <clap clap> that's right <clap clap> dynamite.
anddddd...back to you!
Play Up Pompey!
Why would they immediately concede? I thought the score was tied?
Or is this a fancy way of saying they gave up a goal immediately after,?

It has that meaning too. But to concede a goal - surely it means the same in American - ie your team concedes a touchdown
Sorta, we might use it that way but it would always have "a touchdown" or "a run" on the end. Here, just saying "concedes" means they forfeit the game
Americans would probably use the phrase "gave up a goal/point/run" rather than "concede."
“We, mostly, never lose….”
Gotta love sports fans. “We”. As if these chodes in the stands contribute anything to the outcome of the game. This goes for all sports.

“I got drunk and belligerent which made my team win”
Out of curiosity, where are you from?
The U.S. which is what I’m basing my opinion on. Even when watching from their tv people love boasting about other people’s achievements.
Edit: To add to this - you ever notice how our politics over here mirror this behavior? It’s just pathetic tribalism bullshit.
Yes in Europe it is very different, incomparable to the North American idea of being a fan and actually influencing a game
Yeah sorry. I can’t speak on things over there. Just know I’m very disappointed in my country in many ways.
Sorry to hear it. Us too. But hey, let’s hope for the better situation in the future (and do all we can)
Happy New Year, pal. Let’s hope for a decent upcoming year.
Likewise! Cheers from Ukraine

Who the fuck cares about shit league soccer?
From the looks of the full stadium cheering loudly, a lot of people.
