Football Chants
The NFL has Cheerleaders and firechiefs who yell J.E.T.S...Jets Jets Jets. European Football has hilarious and vicious songs that offend visiting fans and degrade players to levels unthinkable in the US. Yep, Europe wins.
Just The Facts
- Unlike in American Sports, European Football fans don't need scantily clad women to lead them in chanting.
- When it comes to European Football, even children are encouraged to sing filthy chants degrading others.
- Some of these chants are so over the top hilarious that we're pretty sure Eddie Izzard must have writen them.
Cracked on Football Chants
Americans proud themselves on doing sports right. Look at college football where basically even the uber rich get into the game of supporting their teams. Unfortunately that's all at the pre-game tailgate. During the actual game fans basically come dressed in their team's uniform and slap high-fives every time their team scores as if they had something to do with it. Worst yet, at NBA games they play Rap Music at extremely high levels DURING THE ACTUAL GAME ITSELF. We're not talking about during timeouts and such, but when a team actually has the ball. What America really needs is fans that sing really offensive songs to try to get under the skin of the opposing players. Something better then a drunken fan in row one shouting "Yankees Suck." As with our language and society in general, let's just steal what the British do best... football chants. Oh, and yeah, other Europeans and South Americans sing chants just as well as the English fans, but to understand them would require us to be motivated to learn another language and we're just too lazy.

racy but funny
Americans don't have sing-a-longs simply because we have a interesting sport to watch. I've never been so interested in any event that I had to start singing. Soccer is pretty boring to watch, so I'm not surprised these fans have to compose musicals to keep themselves busy until the match ends and they burn the stadium to the ground.
Replyit's called Banter
What about American football players, they have to spend hours putting on Cambodian kevlar bulletproof armour to play rugby. Also, they have to paint the distance numbers on the pitch because the players might forget where they are.
Park,Park
ReplyWherever you may be
You eat dogs in your home country,

Reply"he's blonde, he's slick

Why argue about football and soccer when the most masculine sport in the world is clearly Badminton?
Replyfootball is for real men who use their legs to play, unlike american football where people have no skill and have to use hands to throw( why is it even called football? and americans even argue it is the real football when the actually hold the ball more than they kick it) and also in football you dont get to wear so much of padding to protect your body..pansies!
ReplySh*tty article. Soccer is for f*ggots.
Reply Hide All See All 3 RepliesAs opposed to American football where every play finishes with men laying on top of each other on the ground?
Soccer, or as the civilized world calls it, Football, at least doesn't require 50 pounds of body armour. Now thats pathetic.
It's called FOOTBALL! Y'know, because you use your feet to play, not throw it to one another. Nor does the game stop every 2 seconds... Rugby > American 'Football'
On a slightly more positive note, Liverpool FTW :')
"we've only got one song..."
Replythe Carlisle Brick is big n hard. feared by opponents near or far.

God I hate watching american sports when the crowd starts chanting. It's either Lets go .... team (Red Wings, Broncos, Lakers, whatever) or just .............. U-S-A! U-S-A! over and over and over.
ReplyFootball chants make the atmosphere at a game.
