I don't see nothing wrong with singing patriotic songs either, but one thing (among a lot of things) that separates us from the English supporters is that they have a supporters band. The band may not always lead the songs and chants, but they help organize them and make them sound intimidating.

EXCELLENT point! Although the band is small (3-7 or so I think?) they do an great job because of their positioning in the stadium (up close to an overhang) and quickly reacting to chants starting. For half of the chants in Portugal, I was cued by the horns of the supporters band because I otherwise wouldn't have been able to recognize two similar chants from the other side of the stadium.

For the US we would only need a couple of horns in addition to the collection of drums that we would already have.

The Tomahawk Chop would work well and intimidate the oppositions fans, they'd think we were crazy idiots.
