View Full Version : The USA Chant Thread

Sorry if this has been discussed to death, I've been avoiding this forum because it fills me with spiteful envy, but one thing I got really, really sick of in Korea was the "USA! USA!" chants ad infinitum. It was at the point where I yearned for USA sung to the tune of the tomahawk chant (I hate it when it's done at American sports games, but it seemed funny at a soccer game). It's too bad it can't be even slightly cooler, like "Daehanminguk".
Anyway, I suspect it will be the same again in Germany, especially outside of the hardcore sections, but I urge everyone to find other ways to cheer on our team.
I always thought it would be cool if we could sing America the Beautiful in unison for example.
If this should be merged or moved, please let me know.

Estados Unidos! (clap clap clap) Estados Unidos! :D
Whenever people try to manufacture cheers, I always think of the Spartan cheerleaders.

I couldn't agree more. While I love anyone that's going to be supporting the US in the stadiums while we're there... we can do much better than USA! USA!
Not that we should necesarily care, but the rest of the world is falling over with laughter when American sports fans start with the USA! grunting (it always reminds me of Karch Kiraly's psycho father at Olympic volleyball matches). Singing has gotten so much better with US fans in the last 5 or so years. If you don't know any proper football songs, just join in as best as you can.

Seriously, we need to find something, whatever it is, and settle on it. I want something to chant without sounding like an idiot, and USA! USA! USA! isn't it.

Huh??? Ohhhh, USA, USA, USA, USA. We are the US..the mighty mighty US? Its all the same US in every damn song. Other than a "Kasey, Kasey, give us a wave" there's barely anything for another player.
That said, normally during one minute of the match, Sam's Army will sing America the Beautiful, which is always nice.

Saw this in some where on the site...
"We come from far and wide to your country without a fear,
We sing and chant and party all night drinking all your beer,
In the morn' we raise Old Glory to a raucous ********in' cheer,
Sam's Army marches on!
CHORUS
Glory, glory On-wey-u!
Glory, glory On-wey-u!
Glory, glory On-wey-u!
Sam's Army marches on!"
and I'm trying to push this chant for Bruce Arena! (*note just hold the E on Bruce)
Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me
B-R-U-C-E A-R-E-N-A
Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there
You're as welcome as can be
B-R-U-C-E A-R-E-N-A
Bruce Arena!
Bruce Arena!
Forever let us hold our banner
High! High! High! High!
Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree!

in Ktown, we were singing "when the saints go marching in" (with "yanks" instead of "saints") with a big group of soldiers near us
we also did a "we got gooch, yes we do, we got gooch, how 'bout you?" chant that the poles found funny

Stole a song from Celtic once and sing it at club games:
(if the boys are wearing blue, sing this, if not, change the words around to reflect the correct color)
CMON YOU BOYS IN BLUE
