Stadium chants
on matchday.

Real fan chants for the national team — original, phonetic in Russian, translation and context.

So ein schöner Tag
So ein schöner Tag, fata morgana
[So ein schöner Tag, fata morgana]
What a beautiful day, a mirage

A song by Tim Toupet that became the anthem of German stands after the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Schland! Schland!
Deutsch-LAND! Deutsch-LAND!
[Deutsch-LAND! Deutsch-LAND!]
Ger-MA-NY! Ger-MA-NY!

A universal two-syllable chant. During the "Sommermärchen"-2006 it sounded every 30 seconds.
