Another good story, this one about how Chants started in English Football.

That is a good story. I remember my first US v Brasil game and being in the middle of the Brasilian fans. Drums and chants along with a good natured give and take. I'm sure it wouldn't have been the same if it weren't a friendly back in '92 (I think, it was along time ago)

Nice to see the author give credit to another country for initiating the idea.
