I ironically just got an email from Stefan, about Switzerlands chants… check out the Swiss Tab.

this game has all the chants, and is quite fun as well..

Vamos, vamos
Argentina
Vamos , vamos
a ganar
que esta banda
quilombera
no te deja
no te deja
de bancar.

let’s go x 2
Argentina
Let’s go x 2
to win
that this riot gang
won’t cease x 2
to back you up.

this is the basic chant, there are a couple more that are even simpler than this one (Ar-gen-tina, Ar-gen- tina) (Ole x4, Diegooo, Diegooooo), but the professional fan, the one that goes to the stadium every weekend, well, the always amazed me with their repertoir, i mean full songs, poems, etc. I’ll be damm if i could remember any of them.

I got another short one

Despacito, despacito, despacito
les rompemos
el culitoooooo.

dedicated to you all !!! Cheers

People are really looking for this at google. On my personal blog, where I rarely talk about football there’s been some people ho got there by writing “chants songs national team” on google.

Brazil used to have nice songs in the past but now, after the TV channel Globo made their own song, it’s the same one, year after year.

The one I like most, is “Que bonito é” the song that became immortal by “Canal 100″ which use to produce some football documentaries here in Brazil many years ago.

I believe they are the same crew that produce “Two Billion Hearts” the great movie about the 1994 World Cup

The basic chant for Japan is

Nippon
(clap clap clap)
Nippon
(clap clap clap)

And “Nippon” would be replaced by a players’ names at various points in the match.

Then there’s the Boca-inspired “Vamos Nippon”
O, vamo Nippon,
Nippon, Nippon
Vamo Nippon
Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey

There are more complex songs and tournament-specific songs, but the above two seem to be the most commonly used.

U S A! (pause) U S A!

Which i hate – i need some creative folks from the US to chime in with some better songs. I remember one about Sammy’s army but i can’t remember the words.

HELP END this lame Chant.

I like the Argentina song a bunch and i know an english one for Germany that is simple but funny:

“Two World Wars
and One World Cup
Doo Dah Doo Dah”

and of course You’ll Never Walk Alone which I associate with my beloved Reds from Anfield but it is also an England song as well as AC Milan and others.

And please let us forget and never hear again the Aussie chant…

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi, Oi, Oi
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi, Oi, Oi
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi, Oi, Oi
Aussie, Oi, Aussie, Oi, Aussie, Oi
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
Oi, Oi, Oi

Fans just sing’em, even though the tex is mostly stupid… But what would football be without singing?

You can make anything sound good when you have 30,000 people chanting it at the same time.

Yep, even the anthems of countries you don’t like *g*

There is an England World Cup song that really hits the spot. It’s called ‘Our Finest Hour’ by Winsome and the Churchills it is a vert rousing fan friendly version of Land of Hope and Glory with a witty voice over it of Winston Churchill (soundalike).It really should be the official World Cup song for England as it hits the spot.It is available now as a ringtone for mobiles all you do is text ‘get winsome’ to 60999,you do need a wap enabled phone.It should be released soon on CD and on the net so watch out for it it’s brilliant.

“Chant Like An English Fan!” by The Laddz – http://www.theladdz.com – great anthem ready to be chanted from the stands in Germany!

vamos vamos… argentina
vamos vamos… a ganar
que esta barra quilombera
no te deja, no te deja de alentar

soy de boca y vos de river
tomo mate y amo al futbol con pasion
y encontrarnos con los amigos
asao e’ tira y vino tinto es tradicion

maradona, san martin,
piazzola, borges o peron
todos ellos estan presentes
cuando no hablamos de la puta corrupcion

soy de boca y vos de river
y si no hay guita medialunas con cafe
ir por corrientes o ir por san telmo
caminar por tanta historia es un placer

y un tarao que se enamora
viendo el afiche de una mina pegao en la pared
y medio en pedo filosofando
y amaneciendo con un tango de gardel

es asi la vida en mi pais
y le duela a quien le duela
es hermoso ser de aqui
es asi la vida en mi pais
cuando muera que me entierren aqui
bajo el sol de mi pais

uno es de boca otro es de river
y ser gallina o ser bostero es un honor
presidentes o piqueteros
da lo mismo todos afanan sin control

y los viejos jubilados
esperando que le aumenten la pension
y en cadena por la television
condecoran al corrupto por ladron
y un tarao que se enamora
viendo el afiche de una mina pegao en la pared
y medio en pedo filosofando
y amaneciendo con un tango de gardel

es asi la vida en mi pais…
y le duela a quien le duela
es hermoso ser de aqui
es asi la vida en mi pais
cuando muera que me entierren aqui
bajo el sol de mi pais

unos de boca otros de river
pero a la hora de jugar la seleccion
ante el mundo todos somos uno
y un mismo grito esta en el corazon

vamos vamos… argentina
vamos vamos… a ganar
que esta barra quilombera
no te deja, no te deja de alentar

vamos vamos… argentina
vamos vamos… a ganar
que esta barra quilombera
no te deja, no te deja de alentar

This is the longer Version of Argentina’s cheer song I am not sure if it is the exact one because people normaly sing only half of it! if you want the translation you are going to have to look it up because its to much for me to translate

ARGENTINA ARGENTINA!!!!!!

WE”RE BETTER THAN BRAZIL
I KNOW WE ARE
I:M SURE WE ARE

(this chant repeats itself, getting slowly faster and faster)

Argentina cheers:

quilombera
no te deja
no te deja
de bancar.
