Lesson six: On the terraces

For those of you who do get into World Cup games - or indeed those of you back home who just fancy yelling at the radio in Japanese for a change - here are a few terrace chants and footie phrases to exercise your vocal chords.

Sing them when you’re winning; sing them when you’re not...

Ganbare, ganbare - Get stuck in lads!
Ore! Ore, ore, ore! - Ole! Ole ole ole!
Oshi! - Ooooh! (when ball skims the Argentinean goalpost)?

Sutiibun Gyeraado wa hitori shika inai - There's only one Steven Gerrard?
Kare wa yoku yatta ne - The boy done good

Hakuhodo kimochi warui - I'm sick as a parrot
Gemu wa zenhan kohan arimasu - It’s a game of two halves
Sugoi gemu deshita. Saikou - Great game, I’m over the moon
Tsumaranai, tsumaranai Suueeden - Boring, boring Sweden
Mo utatte inain da - you're not singing any more

Jimii Hiru o mite imasu ka - Are you watching Jimmy Hill?
