That would be true if it had ever of happened but you're just making stuff up right now. Also the only historical stuff I'm aware of is the german bombers song (although I'm happy to be wrong if you know of more chants). I don't think anyone will really care about the redcoat chant, I know most of us don't really care about the US independence day, heck we even have independence day parties with our American friends over here so I don't think any chant about history will be of concern.
Err. But we did. A goal is a goal no matter how they go in. Record book shows Japan 1 - 2 England. And the last time England got bent out of shape over US fans chanting historical stuff was...? Oh, thats right! Never! And Cheese is right. The only historical one is the 10 German bombers. And that does not get aired too often.
Shamelessly stolen from the Brits themselves. http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/chelsea-chants/speak-fcking-english/ Speak f***ing English... Why don't you speak f***ing english Speak f***ing english Why don't you speak f***ing english I'm given hell for my accent from my English friends. Might as well give some back.
You may speak English. We ARE English. Clue in the name, pal. Clue in the name. You only get to borrow it!

Country roads take me home To the place I belong USA, USA Take me home country roads
I dig the Country Road tune, would be sick like you said if everyone got behind it... I'm down for almost anything new and fresh so we can drop the "oo-ooo-ooo-ooo-o-o-o-o-ooo U-S-A! or if everyone could at least get on-time with that tune and the rest of them. Has there been any games where AO have tried using a capo to lead the group?

Problem with Country Roads is that it implies that the US is going home. That is not a positive image to be portraying! Something like when Scotland released their song "Dont come home too soon..."
To the tune of "Country Roads:" Ashley Cole, Go on home It's the World Cup, You don't belong Back to England, Back to England Go on home, Ashley Cole
Just off the top of my head ... Yankee boys, bring it home To the place it belongs Gazzaniga's golden trophy Bring it home, Yankee boys The third line is weak, make it better and there might be something ...
To the tune of "You are my sunshine" Sung to Steven Gerrard: You are a Scouser an ugly Scouser Your only happy on gyro day Your mom's out stealing Your dad's drug dealing Please don't take my hubcaps away.
borrow one of Fulham's songs "He scores with his left, He scores with his riiiiight, That boy Clint Dempsey, Makes Drogba look shite!"
What about just changing the Lyrics of "10 German Bombers" to something saying the "US Air Force shot them down." Remind them who did the real work in that war.
