Must have been great.

So, we just had to take a short flight down to LA for this match. Of course, we have in the past flown cross-country to D.C. just to see a Men’s National team World Cup qualifier.

While I get a little bored with the Olé,… Olé, Olé, Olé chant, listen to some of the videos I posted to hear at least one more.

One funny chant adopted from the English is used when the other team has an extra-wide player, like Chicago’s goalkeeper Zach Thornton.

Who ate all the pies?
Who ate all the pies?
You fat bastard. You ate all the pies.
