2 July 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nJason Kelce thinks American soccer fans need to improve their trash talk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jason Kelce has been following the World Cup<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old former NFL star – who is the elder brother of Travis Kelce – has called on American soccer fans to develop some more imaginative chants for their World Cup games.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Landon Donovan and Tim Howard on the Unfiltered Soccer podcast, Jason explained: “I hear a lot of the other chants from UK teams. ‘I believe that we will win!’<\/p>\n
“I know you played over there, Tim. I know that there\u2019s a lot of energy and passion in those chants. And not just that. Aggression. They\u2019re going to be in your face with those chants.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
“\u2018I believe that we will win,\u2019 that\u2019s a little \u2026 we need to step this up a bit.”<\/p>\n
\nJason dislikes what the familiar chant symbolises.<\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “The chant is trying to convince yourself that you can win. Brazil doesn\u2019t need to convince themselves. They just always think that they can win.”<\/p>\n
\nJason believes American football could actually learn something from soccer fans.<\/p>\n
\nThe former sports star – who played for the Philadelphia Eagles between 2011 and 2023 – said: “I would have loved for Eagles fans or NFL fans to adopt some of the chanting that happens [in soccer].<\/p>\n
\n“The Eagles, we have, \u2018Fly eagles fly, on the road to victory.\u2019 It\u2019s very nice. I\u2019m like, \u2018No, this doesn\u2019t feel like it fits American football, either.\u2019 We need to be, like, punch you in the mouth kind of attitude, as well.<\/p>\n
\n“We need some drunken nights at a pub with a bunch of dudes just trying to figure out how we can talk s*** to the opposing team.”<\/p>\n
\nDespite this, Jason has loved the World Cup so far, and he can’t wait to see the USA in action in their next game against Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n
\nJason – who is set to attend Travis’ wedding to Taylor Swift later this week – said: “I think everyone across the country right now is fired up.<\/p>\n
\n“I know we lost to [Turkiye] resting, what, nine players or however many changes there were. But I think the energy for the United States right now is high.”<\/p>\n
