been a soccer fan less than a year and went to my first USMNT game in houston a few weeks ago.... so it was my first time to hear the GOALS for the Red White and Blue song...how old is the song?....it was so cheesy that it was fun, I thought, i'm probably the only one. USA--2 Wales--1
yea, you're probably the only one...and the song doesn't really have any history..it sucked and nobody likes it, that's it.
There was a contest conducted in 2001, and that was declared the winner, which leads me to believe it was quite possibly the only entry. It was "debuted" at the US v. Jamaica game in Foxboro, though it had been available on their site for the weeks leading up to it.
thank you Lanky! it's so funny to see the complete humiliation of donovan and agoos when they are singing it.
naw. there was definitley more than one becasue i entered one. I honestly dont think it was that much better, tho.
HISTORY OF THE GOALS GOALS SONG: Fall 2001 - USSF announces a contest on their website for an "official" US fight song. October 7, 2001 - "GOALS GOALS GOALS" is announced the winner of said contest and debuts at the US-Jamaica qualifier at Foxboro. US fans unanimously decide that it blows huge quantities of ass, and despite the best attempts of Sam's Army leadership to get the "official song" going, decide instead to repeatedly chant "Fuck bin Laden", "Stick to cricket", and "If your country's bombing someone clap your hands".
I've had the displeasure of being tormented by that song at a few games now. At the game in Houston, weren't there only women's highlights while playing that song? A few weeks later I was in Birmingham watching the women thrash England and they played that song a million or so times because that's what the score was. I was almost grateful for a 0-0 draw against Mexico so I didn't have to hear that wretched thing again.
I don't remember the SA leadership trying that hard to get the song going. What was tried, and I agree with, was because Philips gave a rat's a*s enough to sponsor USA soccer in the first place, including handing out free red long-sleeve t-shirts behind the Fort. We all knew when the contest was announced that the winning song wouldn't enjoy popular support, but who cares? We let Philips have their moment, and then we move on. - HWM
Realize that this song is a rip-off of the dreidel song. "Dreidel dreidel dreidel, I made it out of clay." "Goals, goals, goals. For the red, white and blue". This is music's biggest travesty since Barney stole "This old man came rolling home".
