The atmosphere at a football game is unique, unlike any other sporting code with supporters worldwide singing chants throughout.
But that atmosphere doesnât need to be isolated to an at-match experience, for those armchair fans watching on from the comfort of their own home in front of their own TV sets, you can now be fully immersed in the sounds of the game like you're right there in the stands with the new JBL BAR Series, with its signature surround sound, Soundshift technology and wireless subwoofers and Bluetooth streaming.
Socceroos fans will be singing their lungs out in Russia this European summer, while we can look forward to plenty of English wit and the now-famous Icelandic Viking Clap at the 2018 World Cup.
Hereâs some of the best fan chants:
Northern Ireland didnât quite qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but their chant about Will Grigg being âon fireâ was all the rage during their appearance at the 2016 European Championships, becoming one of the most downloaded tracks in the UK! The parody is from Galaâs âFreed From Desireâ and, for the record, Grigg didnât score at the Euros.
Staying in Britain, Scotland almost missed out for Russia but back in 2007 when they faced Italy the âTartan Armyâ famously chanted âdeep fry your pizzas, weâre gonna deep fry yer pizzasâ.
Of course, how can you go past Liverpoolâs âYouâll Never Walk Aloneâ. For one of the biggest renditions, you canât go past the Redsâ visit to the MCG in 2013.
We cannot forget to include Icelandâs Viking Clap too, which took off in popularity after the sideâs 2016 European Championships success and was adopted by NRL club Canberra Raiders.
For humour, one-time A-League target Bobby Zamora hardly set the world on fire during his time at Craven Cottage, so Fulham fans came up with their own twist. To the tune of Dean Martinâs âThatâs Amoreâ they sung âwhen you're sat in row Z, and the ball hits your head, that's Zamora, that's Zamora.â
Thereâs also the Kolo-Yaya Toure chant which has been adopted by almost everyoneâ including Steven Gerrard and his then-Liverpool teammates with dance moves too.
Back home, hereâs a few others:
Australia skipper Mile Jedinak has attracted plenty of admirers during his 75-game international career, plenty more after his play-offs hat-trick heroics against Honduras. Subsequently Socceroos fans converted KC and the Sunshine Bandâs âGive It Upâ as a tribute to the bearded Aston Villa man.
Domestically thereâs some clever dicks around the A-League coming up with his fresh chants.
Fans are going to want to sign about you when youâre a two-time Johnny Warren medal winner. And Brisbane Roarâs German maestro Thomas Broich won much adoration during his time at Suncorp Stadium. Roar fans ripped off the Life Of Brian tune âAlways Look On The Bright Side Of Lifeâ, replaced by âAlways Look On The Left Side For Broichâ to tribute their star man.
Sydney FC supporters always sing Rod Stewartâs âRhythm Of My Heartâ in the 23rd minute after The Cove founder William âDoggadogâ Duran who passed away in 2012, changing the final line from âIâll be sailingâ to âIâll be Sydneyâ!
Rivals Western Sydney Wanderers wonât be outdone with their own cover of Creedence Clearwater Revivalâs âBad Moon Risingâ.
Much like the aforementioned Kolo-Yaya Toure chant, Brisbane Roar, Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory supporters have adopted their own version to honour Kosta Barbarouses during his various stints at those clubs.
