These are the most underrated fans in the world and this is what I hope S8 looks like one day.
We will never be as crazy or insane as S.A. fans or eastern Europe ultras. But we can definitely be as good as this.



Cool tifo.

I couldnt agree more that they are underrated. People don't think Japan would have supporters like that but as soon as they see Urawa they are amazed.

I came across some Urawa stuff probly 5 years ago now and ever since I've always been really really impressed with their supporters. Many Japanese teams actually have really solid support but Urawa is amazing. So many of their songs and chants are so precisely disciplined and they look and sound amazing. I'd love to see us have more of the large flags like they use, especially down along the front of the section.

Urwana supporters a efffing amazing. I want to go to Japan solely to attend a match in their section. And to add to what cikint23 said... They travel in MASSIVE (not like those D bags in cbus) numbers, all across the pacific.

This song has an amazing cadence and melody.



Con el machete en la mano,
La chapa en el corazon,
Sera siempre independiente,
vigilante y boton.
Rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton, rojo boton.

I know what the words mean, but I dunno which are ones you're supposed to change for your team.
I mean, it sounds straightforward to me...but it sounds more like an Independiente song than a Boca one. Maybe they're being sarcastic and singing Independiente their own song, who knows.

I'm seriously wondering why Sam's Army has not taken this song, it fits so perfectly with their name and whole "Don't tread on me" imagery they're going for plus a nice tie in to the Monroe doctrine and manifest destiny. With the machete in hand/with the badge in the heart/Forever independent, vigilant and boton (which means either cop or snitch in argentine slang)/ Rojo Boton.

Wait, I know why....because it's totally out of their league, they're too busy splintering and arguing about ticketing to worry about new songs. :ph34r:

Maybe we cant do it!
S8 is better than Sam's Army, right guys? right?
It's only 2 lines longer than "vamos la maquina roja"

Being bilingual, I underestimate how hard some of these chants are to non-speakers sometimes.
Well at least Sector Latino could do it, haha.

yeah, just to give my own personal experience, i would consider myself to know spanish better than some of my friends who took it for four years in high school (and that's still minimal, at best) and i remember having to ask the guy next to me at a game to repeat the words to "vamos" to me 3 or 4 times before i got it. "vamos la maquina roja" is easy enough, but for a non-speaker like me, the second part was a total blank for me.

i still think that chants in spanish or bilingual chants are rad though. it just takes a bit of extra effort for those who don't know spanish.

Sam's Army is a fucking joke. I stood with them for the USA-Canada Gold Cup semifinal last year and I will never stand with them again. Biggest bunch of pretty much just racist, wanna-be-English-hoolie-wankers I've ever been in the company of. They spent more time heckling the Canadians and Mexicans waiting for the other semifinal than supporting USA, and they weren't even very good at it.

You remember that guy who sat in the front row at your high school's basketball games and heckled the refs the whole game regardless of whether it was a shitty call or not? It's a whole section of those guys. Well, section's being generous. It was maybe 12 rows tops with zero noise. One guy starts a song that only he knows, it doesn't get legs, but he keeps doing it hoping it will. I'd rather sit than stand with Sam's Army again. Honest to God, they're worse than Columbus supporters. Columbus supporters may share some similar personality and demogrpahic traits with Sam's Army, but at least they can bring the noise occasionally without relying on "U-S-A! U-S-A!" and would rather get behind their own team than just against the other team.

Lots of pictures on that blog (called "auswaertssieg" or "away win").. you feel a gameday experience from the photos. Packed house, concessions, away supporters' section, etc.. the stadiums are certainly something that MLS should be looking to have, other than what's been built so far.

Actually, I think MLS does have a relationship with the Bundesliga and they have visited their stadiums. MLS stadiums sure look more German than English, in their design.

I guess they're not total idiots like some people make them out to be. But the fans make the difference, not the architecture. :angry:

I would have like more mls stadiums to have steeper and more compact seating. MLS stadiums need to ditch the concourses, and need to build a single stand by the goal ends. This way you get a better view, more noise, and less people walking around worrying about food instead of watching the game.

Yeah, the Fire definitely put something like this on the stage end one day.

Although on a good day, that stand holds more than all of Toyota Park.
