Below are some of the chants that are likely to be used during Friday's match and/or the march to the stadium. Numerous others will also be used. Please see The Mother of all Chant Sheets thread for additional items.

One of the reasons for this post is to introduce people not from Vancouver to some of the chants favoured by Vancouver capos, as well as introduce a few chants that people may not be familiar with. Feel free to belt out some of these on Thursday evening at St. Regis, and at Doolin's prior to the march/match on Friday.

We also need to sing Happy Birthday to Julian De Guzman. He turns 35 on Friday, the same day he earns his record-setting 87th cap for Canada, in front of the largest-ever crowd for a World Cup qualifier in Canada's history.

We need to sing it loudly, he's more than earned it. Anyone know a way we can get a stripper cake on short notice?
