American soccer culture has to be built around American culture. Not European culture. Stuff like this is infinitely cooler and more authentic than stealing songs and customs from British or Dutch fans.
Americans want to feel American.
The USMNT is serenaded by the crowd in Seattle with John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" after their 2-0 win over Australia.
USA is on to the Round of 32.

Country Roads should become our song.
They should play it prior to any USMNT 🇺🇸 game, the entire stadium sings along prior to the Star Spangled Banner.
The players will feel it, make it a part of our soccer culture.
Let’s make it happen.
Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’
@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.
Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
"There's only one opinion that matters... and that's the Governor's."
We don't have a mayor. We have a pawn from Austin running the 4th largest city in America.
Governor Abbott’s threat to strip $110 million in public safety funding from Houston is an attempt to bully our city for doing what is right, what is legal, and what upholds the Constitution. The premise that Houston must either repeal this ordinance or lose funding is a false choice designed to force compliance through fear. Those are not the only options.
Houston has a clear legal path forward. I sent a letter to urge the Mayor and the City Attorney to immediately file a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to prevent the State from withdrawing funds and seek a declaratory judgment affirming that this ordinance is lawful. If we act now and file, the court will issue an opinion as early as today, providing City Council with critical guidance before any rushed decision is made regarding repeal. There is no funding that will be put at risk by seeking this emergency relief ahead of the State’s April 20th deadline.
Houstonians deserve a city that will stand up for them, defend its laws, and protect its residents. I respectfully urge the Mayor to take immediate legal action.
