In his blog coverage of the World Cup, Michael Davies laments that US fans don't have a song to sing. He's got a point; songs are an integral part of soccer fandom, and when done right can be pretty darn impressive.
In one of his entries, Davies suggests 10 songs, but he misses what I think is the obvious choice: My Country 'Tis of Thee. Most Americans know the first verse, and its tune is easily recognizable to a variety of Europeans.
This does take a page from English fans who sing "God Save the Queen," but it's a good start until we can find the right song. Or until everyone learns the words to "America, #$!&* Yeah!"
