Personally, I'd love to see 'come on Aussie come on' given a go. Worked really well against England back in 2003.

what singing, the aussie fans don't sing, the only singing i've heard at the four socceroos games i've been to are 'ole, ole, ole, ole, ole' and this little ten your girl sitting a couple of rows in front of me screaming 'aussie, aussie, aussie, oi,oi,oi' :roll: shut up :evil:

I really hate the ole ole ole chant (Aussie oi oi also sucks). What are we anyway, Argentina?

Although I agree that generally Aussies don't sing and aren't good at singing, I still think it would be good to hear a few good chants at the games from Australian supporters.

yeah of course, we really need to improve in this department :lol: save aussie, aussie, aussie, oi, oi, oi for your bogan cricket matches australia :roll:

Well considering how well the injury count and how many first teamers aren't getting playing time, I thought of Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer.

oi oi oi is fucking annoying. Waltzing Matilda done well at the rugby union is the best song Australian sport has got going for it I reckon.

they sing in the GG Army section. You're just sitting in the wrong spot.

When we play Ghana it will be the famous Angels song "Am I ever gonna see your face again" adapted to "Am I ever Ghana see you score again?" (Hopefully some of you are old enough to know what most Australians shout after the chorus??!! spoiler: [size=1]NO WAY! GET FUCKED! FUCK OFF![/size]

i was sitting in the aussie end for the uzbekistan game in sydney but they weren't singing any better than anyone else in the stadium, the best thing they did was let off a flare about two rows in front of me

btw i see what you did with the original post :lol: don't get it though :lol:

You have to listen to the song to understand it:lol: :lol:

A friend of mine was in Germany for the 2006 world cup and he tells me that some of the singing over there was just fantastic, didnt come over on the tv though. I hope to hear some great aussie lyrics during SA 2010.

There's more Australians than last time, so hopefully it will come across loud and clear this time. :)

They were singing down under during the Jpaan game in 06. i remember that.

Why not just adapt the a-league chants?

What's this I hear about the FFA making an official Socceroos song? Apparently they are getting the rogue traders to sing it.

A good WC cup song can be legendary! but a bad one can be an absolute stinker. Despite usually being an optimist, something tells me we may end up with another t**d in the punchbowl

The absolute worst song I can remember made for the socceroos was the one that SBS came up for them.

I think Australia should just stick to something most people already know. I remember when English fans did the 'Great Escape' music when they played in 2002. That was really memorable for me. English are the world champions at singing at football matches.

The Great Escape gets a run every tournament because there's bound to be a trumpeter in the england section... let's get things straight, all the official songs are shite

the mighty F bomb. lol.

Does anyone know (or can come up with) any songs to the tune of Dad's army for the German game??

WTF:shock:

ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS
There will be somewhere between 10,000 and 15,000 Australians in SA.
For Germany-according to customs 70,000 left Australia for Germany during the WC,and another 20-30k joined us from the continent.
There were 101,000 applications for tickets in Dec 2005.
At the moment you can still get tickets for the Ghana and Serbia matches

Re chants
Everyone knows things were a bit average for the Japan game and we were outchanted by the large Japanese contingent despite having a huge following there ourselves.
Things changed quite dramatically the night before the Brazil match at a beer hall in Munich.There was a few thousand Aussies there for about 5 hours and the chanting never stopped
At Allianz there was a noticeable improvement and at Stuttgart we certainly did well against an amazing Croatian following

Waltzing Matilda

Land Down Under

Really??? Well if that's true, then I have to say I'm awfully impressed with the support Australia got in Germany, considering we have the fourth biggest group of supporters attending matches in South Africa behind South Africa, America and England.

I hope this gives us some kind of an advantage. :twisted:

Would love to see Waltzing Matilda used, as well as land down under. Though for both I think people would struggle with the lyrics.

Yeah the times are different.Economic downturn across the World.Germany had over 2 million foreigners ,South Africa only ever budgeted for 450k and will be significantly down on that as Europe is in the grips of recession.Poor South Africans have been cursed with this once in a lifetime economic situation
As far as support-with Durban we will definitely have more support in Durban as many Germans are turning up in the second half of the WC.But we will almost certainly get outchanted anyway but a highly organised Deutsch army.In Rusty we will have the overwhelming numbers over the Ghanains but local support will be for them unfortunately.Nelspruit gives us a chance to assert an advantage with a smallish Serbian following going.This could be crucial.

Do you know specifically how many Germans are going? It will be interesting comparing the numbers.

I hope no Serbians show up because we'll need every advantage we can get. The overwhelming crowd support in Japan didn't seem to trouble the Serbian B-team (Granted, Japan's crowds are pretty underwhelming to say the least). Hopefully the Green and Gold army will be able to get inside their heads with a little Serbian language insults. Here's one I concocted with google translate. Фуцк офф назад на Србија!:p

Ghana is a strange one because even though we won't have the majority crowd support, I still think we will decisively win.

Caught with my mate that was in Germany 2006 and he told me one of the songs that he remembered!!! To the tune of little Peter rabbit.

Ronaldinho went to Rome to see the pope x3, and this is what the pope said, who the fuck is Ronaldinho x ive never heard of him!!!!!!!!!

=d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d> =d>

^^ Thats used in the a-league quite a bit isnt it? Well the squadron use it anyway.

I bet not many people picked up on that song though. Seems a little overcomplicated.

The best songs are the simple songs. The England cheer squad are so successful at doing what they do because the songs are so well-known (Great Escape, Real Britannia, God Save the Queen) and so simple. All they do is hum along to the Great Escape tune and then say 'England!' at the end.

Australian football purists try to make it too complicated.

Yeah, I was there; we had some cracking songs - I'll rack my brain and post some of them later on...

I tend to disagree with girtXc we definitely out sung the Japanese, but they were in amazing unison (everyone even clapped at the same time!) nice fans tho...

I was out and about in Munich before the Brazil game and that was amazing, and at the game we definitely gave our all and it was probably a match for their fans...

We were amazing against Croatia, but their fans are phenomenal in terms of noise (and they're just big bastards - no offence intended), so I think they had us. But, we didn't go home early \:d/ ...


We definitely gave a good account of ourselves... I had tears during 'Waltzing Matilda' on numerous occasions. 'I am, you are, we are Australian' was also a cracker and a bit of a tear jerker...

](*,) - thats up there with the 'Who are yer' chants...

We've probably been in the same crowd before...

Travelling Australia support can pull it together much better than at home. In Australia I have given up such is the stupid Melb v Syd BS.

I won't be travelling this year, but will be at the FIFA fan fest chanting.
