Heady days, boys and girls, less than a week away from the U.S. Men's National Team's 2014 World Cup opener against Ghana. While we're unlikely to be real contenders this year (even if advancing out of our very difficult group isn't as daunting as it might seem), the U.S. has definitely closed the gap on our global adversaries in the supporter chant category.

You may have caught this as it made its way around Twitter yesterday, but it's good enough that it deserves a second view. The American Outlaws, the preeminent group of U.S. soccer supporters, appropriated one of the more stirring sporting exhortations I've seen from the U.S. Naval Academy and made it the soundtrack of U.S. Soccer. Like all good things, it'll be overplayed into vuvuzelan oblivion over the next few weeks, but for now, with the anticipation at near-peak, it's damn near perfect.

I believe that we will win.
