USA Soccer Fight Songs

The fellow from Ghana summed it up painfully sweet: “I can’t root for the US, you don’t have any songs!” So our merry band of wanderers did what we could with what we had. Three letters and a movie. For the most part we spent the day shouting U-S-A U-S-A over the roar of ee-tahl-ya ee-tahl-ya until our throats were hoarse, moistened only by sweet German lager. Then we realized that We have a fight song. Or at least a few words. “America—Fuck Yeah!” from that Team America flick. So that helped. And when the Italian got the red card, we got to sing na na na na hey hey good-bye. BUT that’s not enough. So, I’ve written a few, take’em or leave’em, I think the last one’s alright, but here are all three I have so far.

Never look back

Stronger everyday

Oh-ah-lee-a-lay

U S A

and then there’s the funny one:

Football baseball basketball bowling

You won’t see it on TV

Soccer is growing

and finally, one with with drums and stuff:

(beat beat beat)

For the red white and blue

(beat beat beat)

we proudly cheer for you

(beat beat beat)

Raise your arms stand up!

(beat beat beat)

We have come for the cup

Sing loud, sing strong! prost.
