I (american) say this every time I watch soccer/football which is usually every 2 years (olympics/world cup). I'd be interested to see the history/sociology of these chants and why they don't specifically extend to the US.
That being said, Hockey (NHL) seems to be a bit different. There are several team specific chants that have evolved but only usually after the home team scores. Every other non scoring chant is usually targeted at specific players.
Do people form organized fan groups for their teams? Because those tend to be the main sources of certain chants, especially against certain teams.
Side note: apparently there's no proper english word for a side-specific crowd? In portuguese, it's a "torcida" and the groups are "torcida organizada"
