I suggested these for USA v Mexico in another thread Borghetti * Compadre La concha de tu madre * Name can be replaced to discuss other player's mother's sea shell. A call and response of: Joenju Dos a cero Joenju Dos a cero And something along the lines of: Who's afraid of Cobi Jones Mexico, Mexico Who's afraid of Cobi Jones Mexico, Mexico I really liked one we had when we took a bus trip to Columbus last time for the Mexico qualifier: Luiz Hernandez Has a very nice hairdoo And his mother is a whore And he can't score goals Of course, we'd change Luiz Hernandez to a current player's name. I also like this one too (pronounced in Spanish) E E U U E E U U E E U U E E U U E E U U E E U U The Brits use this one a lot to the tune of "Guantanamera" after a one of their players does something good: One Kasey Keller, There's only one Kasey Keller One Kas-eee Keller There's only one Kasey Keller There's another one the Brits do to the tune of "Winter Wonderland" but for the life of me I can't think of an example right now. I found a pretty good site that has a lot of songs we could steal Anyone else have suggestions? Keep in mind that chants should be simple and short.
The chants in Spanish are to me what the T'Hawk Chop is to Segroves. I absolutely hate it when we chant crap in Spanish. What the hell is it that we are trying to prove? It seems to me that when we chant in Spanish the other team probably chuckles to itself and thinks, "A few more million across the border and this place is all ours...Mwaahhaaahhaaaaahaaaaa."
If intimidation is the goal, it helps when the opposition understands. Oh yeah, and why is the Spanish offensive?
Let's see, I posted 6 songs, and two of them were in Spanish. For what it's worth the songs in Spanish only make sense when giving sh!t to players from teams where Spanish is the language of their country. That way the players know we're giving them a hard time. Whatever the case, feel free to post some chants/songs in English that you don't find offensive.
All I ever hear is Estados Unidos when I'm at the games. We sure do giv'em hell in their own language don't we.
Three actually. The best chants are the ones that nobody understands. For example, I'm sure there are still a few thousand fans walking around Chicago wondering what the hell celery has to do with soccer.
Exactly why is chanting Estatos Unidos a bad thing? OK, fine, three. And are you seriously trying to suggest that people don't understand what "dos a cero" means? Then change it to Joenju Two to zero Joenju Two to zero Do you know if there's an English word for Joenju? Again, please post chants in English that don't offend you. Put up or shut up.
The chants about "your mother is a whore" are to me what the chants in spanish are to you because my mother is a whore.
I owe you an apology then. When I went to the Fulham v/ Manutd match at the cottage last season I participated in the chant "You'll only score in a brothel" aimed at Rooney.
I'm very fond of "If I had the wings of an eagle and I had the ass of a crow I'd fly over Mexico tomorrow and sh!t on the bastards below" To the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean."
Good thread Mike. I really don't hear much mention of America the Beautiful - I know some people said they tried it at one game, and I know it may be a little too religious for soccer, but it sure is something everybody at least knows something of. And its such a nice tune - I mean why else did we steal it?
The "pedophile" version, or the "walking along, singing his song... ___ is the best by a mile" version?
I like chants that are geared towards players too. Hey Dude (or Hejduke) to Hey Jude could be good. I was sad when Jason Moore left DC United because we never really got a chance to get Jason Moore Jason Moore running down the wing to Monty Python's "Dennis Moore" tune (he's the infamous lupin thief). "Oh Ah Johnnie Harkes" was a good one at DC United during his days there.
The "Walking along singing a song" version was the one I was thinking of. Don't think I know the "pedophile" one.
"If I had the wings of an eagle and I had the ass of a crow I'd fly all over Mexico and sh!t on the bastards below" Not trying to start a "my version is better than yours" fight, but IMO, not only does this version fit better, but it rhymes better.
There's only one (opposing GK) Only one (opposing GK) With a packet of sweets And a cheeky smile (GK) is a fking pedophile
