From the DC United vs Chelsea match report, in today’s G:

“The Premiership champions had coasted to victory against Milan but it was a different story at the home of the Wash ington Redskins. It took a smart block from Glen Johnson to prevent Joshua Gros from putting the home side in front.

The home fans sang “overrated” suggesting that, whatever the comparison in football terms, standards of chanting in the States have yet to reach Premiership quality.”

Yes, just wait until they’re introduced to the Brechtian complexity of “You’re shit, and you know you are” or the near-Shakespearean “Danny Mills, wank wank wank”. Then they’ll be up there with the best.
