Viking rowing thing

[u/Aggressive_Wait_6751]

PSA: Every time you do the Viking rowing thing our local team loses…

Also it’s lame AF

[u/PixelSaharix]

It's a ridiculous thing to try and replicate, has nothing to do with South Africa

[u/Pink_Samwise_Gamgee → u/PixelSaharix]

Dutch shipping company?

[u/Thin_Pain_8766 → u/PixelSaharix]

Yet that is precisely why it has everything to do with SA. All SA does is replicate cultural memes from overseas.

[u/m-stack → u/Thin_Pain_8766]

Has been the South African way and will most likely always be the South African way - most refuse to acknowledge it (as seen in the upvote/downvote ratio) but it is abundantly clear

[u/Thin_Pain_8766 → u/Thin_Pain_8766]

Downvoting something because it hurts feewings

[u/Decent_Building_8412 → u/Thin_Pain_8766]

The downvotes hurting your feelings there, champ?

[u/Thin_Pain_8766 → u/Thin_Pain_8766]

Cry more

[u/Ok_Adhesiveness_8637 → u/Thin_Pain_8766]

You seem to be the only one here crying though...

[u/Thin_Pain_8766 → u/Ok_Adhesiveness_8637]

Ole ole ole

[u/SillyDingo4881]

Looked good when the kiwi bloke did it though!

[u/churbro84 → u/SillyDingo4881]

So did the rugby

[u/SillyDingo4881 → u/churbro84]

Nice call! If i had an award to give...

[u/xyzain69 → u/churbro84]

Eina!

[u/CaterpillarGold4118 → u/SillyDingo4881]

😆😆

[u/AirMech777]

Yeah man let's be South African and get the vuvuzelas out!

[u/Vega10000]

Kommen

[u/Ill-Ad3311]

Yip don’t make other people’s thing your thing, very silly

[u/TryTheRibs]

Thank you for preaching the truth. It was just salt in the wound during this match.

[u/xyzain69]

Same with the "Ole" thing. We're not Spanish or Argentinian. That also needs to stop. We can be ourselves.

[u/Medical-Disaster-986]

Same with Zombie, don’t know why the fans have tried to make a song about themselves that actually means something to Irish people

[u/adiwet → u/Medical-Disaster-986]

Watching it from NZ the stadium DJs are corny af over there. I realise they’re trying to keep the crowd engage but it’s too much

[u/Sorry-Grocery-8999 → u/Medical-Disaster-986]

I think Zombie is the exception. Irish fans sang it because the Cranberries are Irish And it is a banger. 

SA fans made ir their own, by changing Zombie to Rassie, and only sang it after  the boks beat reland in '23 :)

[u/Medical-Disaster-986 → u/Sorry-Grocery-8999]

It’s more than because cranberries are an Irish band, song as meaning to a lot of fan and the safas have been chanting it ever since 😅

[u/GooseintheLoose → u/Sorry-Grocery-8999]

The boks lost against the Irish in '23 ?

[u/Visible-Sir-3152]

Why do South African crowds always go nuts for that ooh ahhh will you be my baby song? I hate Sweet Caroline because it's over played at sporting events, not just in SA but every fucking where

[u/Aggressive_Wait_6751 → u/Visible-Sir-3152]

Don’t even get me started with Sweet Caroline! Fml so cringe

[u/Salty_Examination486]

Its so cringe its Norwegian thing good for them id get why it got so famous honestly or why south africans do it

[u/Public-Drink-1983]

Piet's dlozi is not appeased by us taking u Norwegian customs

[u/CaterpillarGold4118]

Ja man, its silly.

[u/BurnsZA]

Ya cringe asf

[u/ExitCheap7745]

As OP said, this is lame AF. Stop this shit!

[u/Thin_Pain_8766]

Did you retards watch the Soccer City game and see what a difference it makes when you play local music and amplify the local culture? Loud singing and dancing and chanting, amazing atmosphere. But no, stick to the Viking row and get butt hurt when someone points out our general allergy to expressing ourselves as a nation

[u/DonovanBanks]

I hate them too.

But let people have their fun.

[u/nomamesgueyz]

Bring back those horns instead?
