Who knew that one songwriter and his friends could produce a song that gives a whole football club an extra boost of adrenaline during the game. The beautiful thing about soccer is that, unlike other professional sports, it’s a culture and not all about the money such as baseball. This video has gave the MLS, american soccer, and of course Real Salt Lake a lot of recognition worldwide. Futbol fans across the world comment on this YouTube video and say how much more credit they give the MLS after seeing this video. Soccer is a passion from the fans and players for the game. One guy from Salt Lake City said that every morning in his office he plays “Believe” at full blast on his speakers just to get his point across that soccer is a wonderful game with a lot of fan support.

This video just shows that songs and team anthems that are created by fans are much more successful. There is so much more heart and passion behind a video/song that is fan made. The more and more fan videos and anthems that are created, the more and more popularity and exposure the sport is getting. “Believe” is an easy song for all to learn and thats one reason why it has become so successful. What other sport in the world has two-thousand fans meet up an hour before the game and then march to the stadium all singing their teams anthem? Can’t wait to get to a RSL game this summer!

Here’s what the artist had to say about his creation: “I just finished this song/chant I wrote for the team/fans. I’ve been working on several, and I’ve got more. But this is my favorite that could be a team anthem. I wrote it to be noble, strong, intimidating sounding as if the pride within the RSL family will tear down any opponent. But yet I made sure to keep it from being in any way offensive or cater to one “type” of fan. Something tattooed, die-hard fans can sing proudly along with conservative fans, children, elderly people and anyone of any kind of background. I also kept it very simple so the words are easy to learn and memorize as well as a catchy melody to remember and catch on throughout the stadium. This is 100% original lyrics and melody I wrote, so you will never hear another club in the world sing this outside of RSL.” – Steineckert Credit: http://www.realsaltlake.com/believe

Real Salt Lake opened their home schedule this past weekend. Not only was the new team debuted but so was the newly adopted “Believe” anthem. RSL came out with the 2-0 victory over the New York Red Bulls. Nick Rimando and Jason Kreis each had special thoughts of the new anthem. “It was awesome to hear, the entire crowd chanting in unison like that; it was definitely a special feeling.” said netminder Nick Rimando. Kreis had to say “Hats off to the fans tonight for getting here early; they were there from the kickoff. Everyone singing together, it was a special night for sure and that’s what I told the players.” Credit: http://www.standard.net/stories/2012/03/19/much-supporters-chant-about-rsl
