that just gave me a shiver!

alluding to the fact that in a group of slogans which translate badly into English and the Aussie's cheesy americanised rubbish, that india have adopted something so simple yet poetically beautiful and emotionally stirring.

How on earth is calling Australia "down under" Americanized?

Typical little brother British.

"bringing the thunder from down under" it smacks of cheesie americanisation. in the same way that every English Rugby League team has some cringeworthy nickname that was never deemed necassary before!

of course the term "down under" isnt americanised in itself. in fact "down under is a term started by the British Merchant Navy, to describe Australias location on maritime maps in relation to England!

of course, what with you being an american, i wouldnt expect you to grasp what i meant without a FULL explanation. sorry Scuba and Dena, im sure you'd have understood but its dumbasses like this mustang fella who give y'all a bad name!

Poor form, buddy. Just a jab at America again, albeit a weak one. I got what you meant, it just made you sound like a fuckin moron.

For the record I think it's cool that most teams in England don't have formal, often cheesy, nicknames.

if you understood, you wouldn't have questioned it.

i dont for a second think that americans dont appreciate how our teams have developed unofficial nicknames over many years. in fact college sports in the US are steeped in tradition as are a few NFL teams - the Bears and Browns spring to mind. i know that the Browns' "Dawg Pound" was started completely unofficially and the fans are now pissed that the NFL have copyrighted "Dawg Pound" and released official merchandise with an official logo. the old "Dawg Pound was a one tiered stand and the new one is two tiered, again the fans dont like it. i'm sure other sports teams have tradition too, there are a few Baseball andHockey teams that must be 100 years old, i just don't have any in depth knowledge of any US sports other than NFL.

maybe Americanisation was the wrong word. not because it was dealing with something Australian, because you can still Americanise something that isn't American (There are three Starbucks' and three McDonalds' in my home town!), but because some tradition does exist in America - i love how a unique new stadium has been shoehorned into the existing structure at soldier field! so in some corners of the United States there is opposition to this Americanisation.

Disneyfication is probably more apt for the point i was putting across! a good example would be the fucking pirate ship at Raymond James Stadium! they even used to have cartoon players on their big screens to accompany big plays - the 'fuckin' queers won the Superbowl the season i watched them play!

"we bring the thunder from down under" is Disneyfication of the very highest order. a shitty slogan such as this would not be tolerated by the Australian Rugby Union or Cricket Teams. why is it deemed appropriate in football? im embarrased for Socceroo's fans, who never asked for this cringy slogan to be attached to their team.

don't make me out to be some anti-american dimwit. just because you were stupid enough to think that you can not americanise something attached to an Australian sports team! you can Americanise anything, like the business district of Frankfurt for instance which is heavily influenced by US identikit cities.

would you not agree that the Aussie slogan has recieved the Disney treatment and is....... well....... a bit shit?

Yah, you using a word that did not apply to the situation makes me stupid

You know before you started throwing americanisation around, there was a word for it. It's called marketing, and somebody from the Empire upon which the sun never sets should understand that.

The Aussie slogan is not the greatest, you are correct about that.

You couldn't be more wrong. We only say it when singing the song... The only times an Australian says is when they are trying to attract tourists.

If we are down under, why don't we call you "up over" ?
