I remember as a teen I went to the US to a holiday camp as a counselor. One weekend I went with some English kids to a Baseball game (Nationals vs someone else, I can't remember). We were seated at the far end of the stadium, and were bored to death, so we ended up singing camp and football songs for funs. Had a lot of fun but people were definnitely weirded out by us. Best part is, there was only one player close to us (the guy that was meant to catch any long balls I guess). We knew nothing about him other than his name (Wilson), so we started singing to him, 'Wilson we love you' and the like. Time passes, teams switch roles, and he gets to bat. Dude scored a home run. We were over the moon, and even posted the newspaper clipping of his homerun on the counselors cabin. Way to go Wilson!

[@ricardoxavier827]

Yes, we sing for spark the players confidence as well when we feel that the team needs an individual ispiration break on the game. We are an extension of the coach. We can love and can punish from the stadium seats.

[@Francis2061]

They know the lyrics because they get sung every week and when a new chant is started it’s a few loud guys on the terraces who start it and everyone else gradually joins in. It also helps that the majority of chants follow just a few basic structures. Pretty much every club has a slightly different version of the same chants and they just get slightly different lyrics.

People didn't understand the Ivory Coast born Toure brothers chant. Kolo was the first to play in England and was a defender, his younger brother YaYa came later and was the epitome of streamlined attacking midfielder (he could also play other positions) They were both great players but YaYa had already played for Barcelona, who at the time were considered by some as the best team in the world, so much was expected of him when he arrived. He never disappointed, scored some magnificent goals and made wonderful plays for others to score. The chant has specific gestures as you sing the different brothers names, even if you're on the platform of the train station.

"offside" is a special rule in association football - a bit too complicated for me to explain, but any goal scored while being in a offside position is invalid. So it is a play with words.

For the first picture with the colour coordinated stadium: when you arrive to your seat or section, there will be a sheet of paper in a colour, and usually a flyer explaining when to hold it up or when to turn it if it's different colours on each side. If you want to see it on a smaller scale, Zürcher Südkurve of FC Zurich does a lot of those Choreos.

Zlatan is the opposite of insecure. There is absolutely nothing that would make him insecure. Got me thinking of his season in Los Angeles I think he made a great impression there.

Then Zlatan came onto the field, and started off with this goal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGKYp5mOptOqjdksi=-s6Px4pxLTxLgFOF and later made another goal and LA Galaxy won with 4-3.

Personal attacks in England are a form of bonding. It keeps everyone humble... something I have learnt is much less welcome in the USA. Basically, in England (Australia and New Zealand too); if you like someone you work with or have a friendly relationship, you make fun of them to keep them in check. This is done primarily at work but only because most of the time one is at work. But If they are not making fun of you to your face (taking the mikey); then they think you are an arse and you need to check yourself. Sticks and stones... No Harm no Foul
