Songs For England Game

Haha! What? What do you think hooligans used to do? Throw bongos at each other?!

 

"When the British shoot, the Germans duck, when the Germans shoot, the British duck, when the Americans shoot, everybody ducks....."
Old World War II saying:

That really was a TWATISH comment, now go look up the word twat, I know many Americans who like the word!

"'Knowledge dominance' does scare us as Marines. General George Armstrong Custer probably thought he had knowledge dominance, too. Any time you thing you're smarter than your adversary, you're probably about a half-mile from the Little Big Horn."
— Colonel Art Corbett, USMC

Now kind of back of onto topic, ok, so you went back to the war of Independence, now lets look at that shall we? Who was on your side then? Erm.... Oh France! Now there is an ally and a half!

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me."
General George S. Patton

If this is the best you can do coming up with themes for a song then I think maybe you don't even deserve to join in the world soccer (real football)community!

I am proud to the English, now what language are we conversing in here? Come on this is a friendly game u bunch of wallys!

PS Where are the mods around here? JHC

 

Honestly, are all the mods on vacation? WTF?

 

Please re-read my post. I said if the goal is to get under their skin. Getting under the opponent's skin (or perhaps more accurately - their fans') is not the only reason to sing songs. For example, getting under the opponent's skin is not generally why people sing their national anthem at soccer matches. That has more to do with what you like to call tradition.

The majority of posts here are about songs that will irritate the English fans - not about traditional songs. Therefore my comment - if you want to get under their skin, in my opinion, it's better to stay as contemporary and as soccer-related as possible.

 

And fail.

 

Yeah well, the important thing is to try.

 

Funniest thing I've read all week

 

It'd be funny if you guys that are going all showed up in these shirts!

Songs about the American revolution will fall on deaf ears as no-one in England knows anything about it.

 

And songs about Euro 2008 will be met with complete apathy because Team USA isn't there either.

 

Your Queen's a Hun.
Her son's a poof.
Look at his wife.
If you need the proof.

(Tangentially, I'm wondering if BigSoccer could provide the USA fora with a moderator as thin-skinned as Three ********** cats. That way, when england fans come poking around they could have their posts deleted in a huff the way our fans have in the england forum.)

"Are you Canada in disguise?

 

First of all, I won't be there, but you'd be better off picking up the better MLS supporter group songs. Not that the Empire Supporters Club is the biggest in the land, but they have picked up a set of good, solid American songs such as the "Wipeout" and "We Like It" that they do every game. Better than mimicking Englishmen, I think. Show a little American originality, for chrissakes.

Second, you could go the ironic, self-effacing route and make fun of ourselves and slyly Englishmen and their own bigotries at the same time:

-- "We Like Prawn Sammies, Yes We Do, We Like Prawns, How 'Bout You?" (to that old high school "we have spirit..." song).

-- "Stand Up If You Love Soccer, Stand Up If You Love Soccer," Etc. The English do a lot of "Stand Up If You Hate [the Rival Team]" chants, and, as you know, hate it when we call it "soccer."

-- "If you're dumb, fat and stupid, clap your hands" to "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands."

-- "We Are the World Champions" to "we are the champions." As you can see above, the English hate it that we call the NBA or NFL winners the "World Champions", despite the fact they routinely call the Premiership "The World's Best (or most Exciting) League".

Third, you should be able to poke fun of the Euro failure:

-- "Is this the Euros, is this the Euros, is this the Euros in diguise?" to the old taunt "are you [rival team] in disguise?"

-- "At least you're not playing Croatia!"

--And as a WC bonus: "We'll Win Two Cup Before You Do, doo dah doo dah" to "Camp Town Races."

Fourth, think how easy it will be to make fun of English players given our knowledge of them:

-- When they take a goal kick (if they take a goal kick), instead of the boring old "you suck a$$hole", you could do "Worse than Friedel" followed by "Worse than Keller" followed by "Worse than Marcus" followed by "Worse than Howard."

-- "Ashley, do you f*ck guys because you have a girls name?"

-- The aforementioned "Chav" chant.

 

I like this man's thinking!!

 

Ironically that would be true because of Owen Hargreaves

 

They're breaking up an empire
Nobody's buying British
They're calling for an umpire
Nobody's playing cricket
The flags are coming down everybody stands saluting
But somewhere in the distance, I can
hear somebody shooting.

And another piece of red left my atlas today, yes another piece of red left my atlas today

It's so long Hong Kong and no more Singapore
Those steaming nights of Malta
Goodbye Gibraltar
I'll give you arms for Africa
I'm hungry for India
The sun's set on Australia
And vive le Canada

Theyre breaking up an empire
Nobody's buying British
Calling for an umpire
It really isn't cricket
The flags are coming down
There's a minimum of looting
Somewhere in the distance I can
see somebody shooting
And another piece of red left
my atlas today.........

 

Genius my man... that'll put those Brits in their place. They never have gotten over the Revolution.

 

I heard a similar song that was sung in Chicago as Kieron Richardson ( perennial D teamer) netting his 2nd goal, leading the C Team to a victory.

 

you gave me a warning when I posted something similar in the England forums.

Thats a little unfair now dont you think ?

 

As soon as you post it, he'll erase it.

 

That's ok, Lions is a Texas born and bred, and a hardcore Texas Longhorns football fan who happened to be a fan of England.

 

This has to be the funniest thread on this entire site. We are raging about 'the Revolution'.

 

To the tune of Yellow Submarine:

You play uglier than Camilla Parker Bowles

or

David James aspires to be a 70s porn star, a 70s porn star a 70s porn star

 

Can I give you a tip? If you're trying to insult some English fans it's probably not too smart to go around using tunes from English songs. Haha. I actually hope you sing some of these at Wembley, you might actually win when our team starts rolling on the floor with laughter.
