Your very own United States "We Footballin' South Africa" Song

On the Eleventh of June, the lords year Two-Thousand-and-Ten, South Africa will host the most prestigious international competition in the universe.The glorious month long battle for the World Cup has people across the globe hanging flags, preparing feasts, tuning their tv's, and clearing their throats to cheer and sing their teams to victory. For those of you who don't follow the worlds sport, get excited because the United States Futbol Club might just be situated to make a legitimate bid, though they have to make it past a formidable English squad in group play.

When I dropped in to Kezar Pub this evening I was excited to see a banner of international flags proudly displayed outside the beer saturated venue. What other event motivates people in every corner of the world to arrive at their local pub- at any hour of the day- to down pint after pint in honor of the sweat, blood, and tears expelled by their fellow country men in ruthless competition with the worlds best? Futbol brings out the best in drinking, camaraderie, and songs in almost every country involved- yet I couldn't think of one fun loving song (soccer or beer related) to define our beloved America.

Is our sauce really that weak? I thought I'd have a poke around the internet to see if there was anything legitimate in the way of American soccer/drinking songs, and the results were hilarious.

This takes the cake as the top result for "American Sport/Drinking Song":


While I am a adamant supporter of ripping on country music, Hank Williams Jr. and the Charlie Daniels Band, this can not really be the closest thing we have to a national sports anthem. Or could it... There is a facebook group that calls themselves the USSSCCC- dedicated to coming up with a nationally accepted and supported song/chant so we can effectively express ourselves on the world stage. If we don't come up with something quick I fear that we as fans may bring shame to what it means to be a World Cup Championship worthy nation. I'm not asking for much, just a few stanzas, so we will have something to retort to our international brethern. So act fast! Join the USSSCCC and lets come up with a song or two for Team U-S-A!

Otherwise I'm moving to Canada.

Ps- this doesn't count
