I’ve been trying to since it happened live and just can’t. I named my dog Jude from this song and lost him many years ago so this song always meant something special to me but this is a completely different level. It’s just incredible

u/Gbrown546 Jul 14 '26
I remember seeing an interview with the Brazilian Ronaldo recently where he said when he retired, he felt so incredibly flat. Like he’d lost everything. And then you see something like this and you get it. How do you ever replicate these highs again later in life?

Just the other day I got to be in a massive stadium concert. My first experience of a crowd of 80.000 singing into my direction (the artists obviously not me lol). At times the crowd was so loud you couldn't even hear the music.
If that is what it sounds like for players, let alone what it feels like, even just a quarter as good, then this must be pure ecstasy.

As another guy called Jude, the scale has always been completely different, but the occurrence is not rare.
I used to hate it as a kid. Once at full school assembly the song of the day was Hey Jude and everyone was looking and giggling at me (in a nice way really, but I’ve never enjoyed the spotlight).
That said, this is a lovely moment. You can see it means a lot to him and I live the way he takes it in.

u/PUSClFER Jul 14 '26
I can vaguely guess what it felt like.
I practiced football when I was 9 years old. One time, we got to run a lap around the field before a major derby match between the two largest rivals in the country. I remember running past the long side of the field where people were seated and our parents were which was fun. Then we turned the corner to the end side where my club's fans were standing with giant drums, red flares, smoke everywhere, confetti, toilet paper and a roar from the crowd you could feel in your chest. It was as if the entire crowd exploded when we came up to them. I've never felt so empowered before or after that moment. It was surreal to say the least.

Bro this is what football videogame career mode endings look like. It's basically a movie moment.
If this guy ever has a movie or documentary made about him, this will be like the climax simply because of how cinematic it is. Mind blowing.

u/damn-african Jul 15 '26
Iv always thought the absolute peak awesome must be when a singer/band plays to a massive sold out arena and the every single person in the crowd is singing the song you wrote.
I often think of Liam Gallagher at Knebworth, he described it in the Supersonic doco as the peak.
This wouldn't be far behind.

When I was in my early 20s I got invited by my teenage brother and his friends to play paintball, have VERY basic “move and cover” tactics which I employed to our team (they did lose one game before I had arrived). We won twice, 7 big ass teenage boys started chanting and hollering “General”, not gonna lie, 20 year later I still recall this story 🤣

I work at a small summer camp. A few years ago we had one of our teenage counselors leave briefly to pick up lunch. As a bit, we had everybody boo them when they left and applaud when they came back. That was pretty fun, but then everybody just kept doing it, and now it's a daily running joke. We have people come in to lead group activities, they all get ovations on the way in. My counselors come home from college and get welcomed back by a cheering crowd of children. Some people have even developed bits in response, like one person always does a big flourishing stage bow, one just applauds back, I sometimes like to control the volume of the applause.
Great bit

u/queenofthera Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26
I'm English but not a football fan, so I only really get an impression of things through my anti-racist husband. I'd got the sense that things had improved a lot in that racism is called out from multiple directions when it happens and racist fans are actually facing sanctions.
I checked the statistics from kickitout and it appears that reports of discrimination are indeed rising (though that could be partly more people thinking that reporting is worthwhile). It seems an extremely worrying situation at least.
Though, tbh I imagine the racist fans will have been priced out of attending the World Cup games; so every cloud.

Some bad apples online of course but let’s be real most countries have issues with racism and xenophobia.
