European soccer cheers and Texas A&M

This time of year my father and I watch a little soccer on television. One point where they have it over our American sports is their cheering. I don't know exactly how they do them or what they are, but they are a sort of sing-song chant that evidently pretty much the entire home team crowd participates in.

With the exception of Texas A&M, our American "cheerleaders" are for the most part window dressing. Of course, at A&M they call them "Yell Leaders," which is what they ought to be doing everywhere.
