You are brilliant man. My son is Irish and is playing soccer for Freed-Hardeman in Tennesse. I sent him this video and he laughed so hard. Big difference is you are nice people. In Europe, we are horrible and nasty bastards. My son actually grew up in the South of France. I remember playing some games when he was 12/14 in very rough areas. The opposite team would be saying to my son that his mum was a prostitute. The opposing fans were spitting on us. Horrible stuff for an U12/14 game. When he came to the US, he couldn't believe how respectful people were. Soccer in Europe is pure tribalism. Maybe you have it more in the native American sports like American Football and Baseball. I wouldn't worry so much about the chants, you Americans are good people and are respectful.

Or the F word in there instead, most of the chants in football are based on being in a group and no visible leader so can be very abusive. Going back to the 60’s and 70’s we used to sing when the police paraded around the pitch support for harry roberts as he kills coppers. Although the reality was the opposite it was fine to dig at the coppers Often better chants aimed at direct rivals with swearing I did remember one from 70’s where Asa Hartford a Man City player? had a transfer break down to Leeds Utd due to a hole in the heart being detected. when he played T my club to the tune of “there’s a hole In my bucket” was a chant of there’s a hole In your heart asa Hartford

All I can really take from this is the massive cultural differences. In the USA you have the cheerleading culture, basically 'our team is better than yours and we're going to win' To my knowledge, not many countries in Europe have much to do with cheerleading, our chants are more humour - 'win or lose, we're going to take the piss out of you'

[@davidsulc90]

Hi, to be perfectly honest, it's same but different. We don't have cheerleaders, but when you have entire neighbourhood, including women, children and the elderly chanting the same song, because they heard it since nursery. You don't really need cheerleaders. No disrespect for US cheerleaders, just different developement, for different conditions

The British are REALLY good at singing/chanting in unison. Every single one of us had an assembly at school every morning from five years old to sixteen. Every morning we all sang together with a teacher on the shitty piano and the lyrics on a projector. There'd also be big assemblies at Christmas and Easter and we would ALWAYS make up rude/funny alternative lyrics and watch the teachers lose it. Now as adults it's progressed to football chants and being really good at live gigs. Also you think it's loud on film? I live close to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United and you can hear the chants and cheering inside the house with the windows closed.

[@mindpearlgirl]

[@thewomble1509]

It's also because we have a 150 year long tradition of watching football in the UK. Teams used to be drawn from and belonged to neighbourhoods and communities which really only began to change in the late seventies/early eighties with the increase in money both on and off the pitch. Now it's "your foreigners v our foreigners" but the wit and irreverence of the songs are still in touch with the roots of the game.

I returned to my position in the tunnel and I (what I thought was) quietly pulled my colleague up and said to him so that others (the fans around us) wouldn't hear me and I said to him. "Did you see that then? (Colleague: No what), That woman? (Colleague: What about her?), She came over to me and showed me her ticket, (Colleague: And?), well she only had one eye, anyway, I checked her ticket to see where her seat was and I noticed how much she was charged for the ticket, wouldn't you think that since she is only seeing half the game she would only have to pay half the price"! Well I guess at that moment I realised that I hadn't been quite as quiet as I had thought I was as the moment I gave the punch line every fan within a certain 20ft radius burst out laughing, now I swear I kind of cowered just in case either that poor one eyed lady or one of my superiors had heard me.

In Vancouver before the Whitecaps joined MLS a certain group of fans called the Southsiders (for standing behind the south goal) got into a lot of proper chanting and pisstaking with plenty of swearing... many of them were from the UK... they're still around since MLS but they were instructed to tone it down. They went to an NHL game one time to support the Canucks and were told to not sing constantly - cheer only after a goal - or they'd be thrown out.

To be honest, the American BBQ chant was originally an English football song that was officially released by Fat Les, called Vindaloo, “"Vindaloo" is the debut single by British band Fat Les, released in 1998 and recorded for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The music was co-written by Blur bassist Alex James and bassist Guy Pratt. The lyrics were written by comedian Keith Allen. The song was originally written as a parody of football chants, but was adopted as one in its own right and became a classic.” 🇬🇧😎👍🏼

FYI. THE 'Barbecue' chant started here, but it was Vindaloo (as in the type of curry). It was a song, written by Alex James (of Blur) and sung by Fat Les. It was written for European Championships, can't remember the year, 96? Same year as Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightening Seeds recorded their anthemic, Three Lion's, song. It never caught on as big as hoped, Three Lions outdid it. But it seems to have migrated and changed lyrics. The video for the original, Vindaloo, is on KZbin. Maybe worth a reaction.

When some clubs have existed for 130 years and more, you have tradition, team culture and attachment. That's something that will never arise when your teams are franchises that hop from town to town. People don't go to the stadium to watch a game (like you would go to watch a movie), they go their support their team. Without that you et that lack of intensity. I remember US basketball players who've been active in Europe saying that entering the court felt like entering a warzone, especially in Greece and Turkey.

Should listen to when the Fans are singing songs tunefully ... for example, Liverpool: 'You'll never walk alone' ... It is quite moving when tens of thousands are singing in unison, whether or not you support the team ... Lots of historic chants with meaning to them are also sung. The difference would seem to be that their Team is actually passionately important to UK fans and the fans communicate outside of the actual game itself ...

[@karmannghiaman1041]

The best football song is Hibs adopting Sunshine on Leith. When they sung it at Hampden Park after winning the Scottish FA Cup after a 125 year wait, it was truly epic. Obviously, as a Saint's fan, When the Saint's go Marching in" gets me too.

[@christinevenner183]

I worked out the fundamental difference between US soccer chants and UK Football chants. US chants like army chants, one person shouting and a few others repeating. UK chants are more of an organic thing. A few people start and bit by bit everyone joins in until you have the entire fans of one team repeating the chant.

I've been to a few games in the USA (I'm from the UK) and in truth it's not quite as bad as shown here usually, but the USA very much goes with the 'ultras' style of supporting, which can be good when it works, but tends to be a bit one-paced.
