Thanks for the info, I knew it wasn't a French chant either (we actually don't have any, lol), but I didn't know where it originated from :)

But yeah... Icelandic fans were awesome during this tournament, really, top tier fans along with the Irish, but let's not act like they invented anything...

No shame in that.  Not many countries do have their own created chants.  Like Ireland do but they weren't created for football.  They're just Irish songs for example.  

 

Most countries chants originated from a club team somewhere in the world because it's the club scene where most of the effort for new chants is made. 

Yeah, sure I didn't mean a completely original creation, but simply a chant that would be commonly used in our stadiums.
I mean, La Marseillaise is hype, "Allez les Bleus !" too, but in comparison, we are far behind the Irish, for example, with chants like The Fields of Athenry, Will Griggs on Fire, Sweet Caroline, etc...

 

I really feel like France has poor supporters. There are some faithful ones for sure, but for example, we're in semi finals of our Euro Cup, we crushed Iceland and are the best attack of the competition, but people are still bashing France here :)
