The space will be nice.

I was watching SC when working out this morning and they did a little piece on the "I Believe..." chant. I thought SKC started that a few years ago, haha.

It is sort of funny on one hand its an incredible simple game but when you dive in it all feels complicated.

It took me awhile to get the whole offsides thing.... I was like dude you just got worked and the guy broke free... Not that simple.

Also, not a fan of the flopping, but soccer ref is just about as bad as NBA ref, which everyone knows are the worse in all major sports...

There was a whole show about the chant interestingly enough though my understand of it is different from their telling. My understanding is it came from Utah St basketball fans but they say it came from the Navy. The first example I saw of it was NYRB fans doing it but SKC made did it better and made it more popular...I also think they were the bridge from MLS to the American Outlaws doing it for US games.

It feels really played out now and I wonder if KC will drop but everyones loves it so that is good.

Weird I couldn't really find a video that did justice to how loud it gets at Sporting Park.

Been listening on TuneItIn or watching most of the games for the last few weeks... This is insane, never seen anything like it... The excitement and support is off the charts...

Sucks I have to wait another 4 years for this.

women's world cup is next year. In some ways it is a better game. More tactical and less diving.

Ya, still plenty of horse shit to go around. Remember that Brazilian player that got stretchered off and then popped back up. Couldnt ****ing believe it.

A round table of sorts talking about the possibility of the USA *gulp* going to penalties.

I Believe is becoming a bit of an international phenomenon. I saw a video of St. Etienne (French Ligue 1) supporters doing it the other day (in english).

The chant is definitely stale for SKC supporters, but it's a great thing for this World Cup with so many new fans watching.
