Once upon a time, I came up with an idea for a St. Louis CITY SC fan chant for former Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki, sung to the tune of "Zombie" by The Cranberries.
Unlike a lot of my other terrible ideas, this one actually stuck and is a part of the club's culture.
Now join me as I explore the soccer world through the lens of an American that is falling in love with the game over the last couple seasons. I'm primarily a St. Louis CITY SC fan, but I'll also explore the USL Championship/USL1/USL2 as well as the global game from time to time.
I'm by no means an expert, just one of many Americans discovering their passion for the game.

Fantastic video Soccer Zombie! Great humor, see ya next year!
Thanks for watching! See you in 2025!
thats filipino goal scorer
Yeah, he and his brother will now rep the Phillipines national team! Pretty cool!
Union Omaha guy here!!! Finally found your TH-cam channel!!!
Welcome Michael! Make sure to check out the two Union Omaha videos I did (soon to be three but I have to edit it).
Missouri is yours, missouri is yooouuurrrrs, never won a playoff game, are you fucking sure?!
Glad you had fun!
It was a great day!
It's also very funny seeing you guys seriously talk about how good it is to see Rasmus score while everyone behind you is in the thick of "Twist and Shout."
It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be fun. One does not simply walk into the heart of the North End and expect to be sensible lol
This is a video where Brad is the protagonist, who just wants to watch a soccer game, and Tom and I are the antagonists
Brad is literally the guy at the end of the urinals and Mason and I walk past all the vacant urinals and use the urinals right next to him while singing the Reading Rainbow chant.
Nobody does it like you Tom. The NWSL really deserves more respect, and this feels like giving it what it deserves.
It's day will come, and clubs like the Current will lead the way!
@@SoccerZombieSTLyou do, in fact, have to hand it to KC (Current)
Easily my favorite stadium I’ve been to so far. Vibes are fantastic, team is great, absolutely have to get back up there soon!
It's a great place! I'll have a full Away Day Review on it soon!
LOLLLLL That Messi SZ jersey was such a perfect troll. (It's not like I haven't thought the thought of having a custom Messi NYC FC jersey...for the lulz...if Knicks fans were making LeBron jerseys in the HOPES that he'd play for us, who knows?)
A shocking betrayal...
I was following NYC FC's own derby on Saturday night (we thumped the Red Bulls 5-1 at their house and got the shiny Hudson River Derby trophy, our first win in a league game since July and the win that clinched us the postseason, New York is Blue, let's fucking go, but I digress), but I saw that this game was also happening and was rooting for St. Louis City to take it cuz I knew you'd be excited. And sure enough!
We needed SOMETHING to get excited about, especially as (as you saw) our extremely faint playoff hopes went out completely during the game lol
@@SoccerZombieSTL I'm sorry dude. We didn't make the playoffs last year for the first time since 2015, and it was my first season actively following the club. Let me tell you, it HURT. But that just makes moments of victory feel all the more worthwhile, and with the way St. Louis is developing and building up a really awesome, passionate fanbase, I have no doubts you'll be in the playoffs too sooner rather than later.
We probably make the playoffs if we had the summer transfer window we had back in January. Quality reinforcements came in too late.
@@SoccerZombieSTL We need a better attacking forward and better defensive midfielders. Our forwards can be lethal when they all link up like they did on Saturday, but too often they wind up becoming a formless blob that can't decide where to be on the field at any given time and pays the price for it (which is what happened against Philly).
It was stunning how inept NYCFC's offense looked when they visited STL earlier this year.
Now I wanna meet Teal Man!🫶🏻
He's a great dude! He even has stickers!
Who is the girl behind you in the white?? DAMN!
😍
Hope you enjoyed your time in America’s Soccer Capital 😉
I always enjoy my time in STL. 😁
@@SoccerZombieSTL Idk... it'd be pretty sus if the Capital didn't even have a Women's team
Soon.
VIBES! You captured that feeling of winning against your rivals perfectly. Brilliant!
In a weird way, I'm glad we only got one home match against them because it made the win sweeter!
@@SoccerZombieSTL Yeah, I get that! A win at home against your rivals - whatever the league position - is always awesome!
Definitely!
ALLEGEDLY?
The facts still have not been properly heard in a court of law.
Come on Gotham!!
Congrats to you, dude. Happy to be a subscriber!
Happy you ARE a subscriber!
i’m wowed by this. the away match and home match in one day, KC’s amazing stadium, and the story of the KC Current. will never support skc in any way, but it looks like the Current are doing something great up there.
It's a weird dichotomy for a STL fan to back anything KC. I can't make that commitment with the Current (partly because I know STL will get a club someday) but it's really commendable what they've done in KC.
Great atmosphere and dedication on your part to get there! Love the to be continued... Aspect to this vlog. Great stuff as always mate
Thanks Derek! Ended up being a great day (as you'll see in the STL portion)
@SoccerZombieSTL looking forward to it buddy!
Good job keeping the audience wanting more. Makes me further regret that I had to shorten the KC Quad in early July.....
Yeah I think strategically, splitting them up makes more sense. Plus I had plenty of content for this one with the travel mixed in.
Good on you mate i see you sing not like all tourists do
If I went on a Liverpool match in Anfield and DIDN'T sing YNWA with the crowd, God should strike me down in a millisecond.
Good pn youaye see you sing hood pn you
That's dope ! Congratulations from a fellow Zombie !!!!! Ya boy Rot Wilder

Thanks! Let's collab again in the future!

@@SoccerZombieSTL not sure when I’ll be available. I’ll let you know.
Reading played at Bolton again this week, you might want to check out the latest developments in the ownership saga though, it isn't good.
I'm well aware of them and I just haven't had the heart to do another video on them because the situation is just disheartening and inconcievable to me. Dai Yongge is a fucking cancer.
Also fun fact, they built the stadium to be modular so if they wanted to expand upward, they can!
It definitely looked like it has room to grow!
Not whiskey but Bourbon ;)
Correct!
"because of the heat" "it's in the mid-90s" srsly? 😆😆😆
Mid-90s with high humidity? ya srsly.

@@johnvella I was in Houston earlier this year, but it was February so it was actually quite nice temperature-wise lol. th-cam.com/video/WzviA-wG7KI/w-d-xo.html
@@SoccerZombieSTL february is the perfect time to come down, but man oh man, these fc dallas and north texas sc matches throughout the summer where at kick it's 100+ with 40-50% humidity are brutal. that's why i'm loving the dallas trinity fc schedule - sept to dec. it's like heaven.

Dang. Thought there'd be some Reds out there for sure
@@SoccerZombieSTL I hoped so too 😢
Football is the religion and anfield is the temple ❤
PREACH! 🙌
"No humidity". lol was that sarcasm? Absolute tropical out there that night. like 80 percent humidity. Lost weight sweating at the match.
Relative to the usual Tampa/St. Pete swampy heat (I was born in Tampa and have family there I see at least once a year), it wasn't bad that night! There was a tropical system in the Atlantic blowing a lot of the humidity off to the west that day. The beach in Sarasota felt GREAT! The Sun game the next day was BRUTAL though.
@@SoccerZombieSTL Watched the whole video and saw myself in a long-sleeved shirt and said "OH it was THAT night, with the storm that made it feel nice out" XD Yeah, that didn't last long lol
It never does in Florida!
I am an FC Tulsa season ticket member, and I was happy to see you at the match and enjoyed the video of your visit. Based in part on your review, I bought one of the merchandise grab bags for $30. Mine contained only a $20 t-shirt (though it's a nice t-shirt.) I didn't check that until I was at home the next day, so it's kind of on me. I've been trying to see if the club will do anything for me, but no luck so far. This is just a "buyer beware" on the grab bags.
I will say that I was allowed to peek in the bags beforehand! But yeah, I guess that goes into the mystery part of it. Some times you get peanuts, sometimes you get just the shell.
@@SoccerZombieSTL Happily, the merchandise person has finally responded to my email inquiry and will get me something more at tonight's match v. LV Lights.
That's great!
SIUE student here! I am not shocked about our attendance. We get free tickets. As well as the constant emails, billboards, and reminders around campus. Like you said this is our Super Bowl! Thanks for this video, I am working on a project and this was very informative and entertaining 👍
I heard about the free tickets! SIUE really seemed to go balls to the wall on this, while it always felt kinda "eh" to SLU. Let me know how I can help with your project and feel free to use the video in it!
I love this! College soccer doesn't get nearly enough love. I regret not going to more games while I went to Skidmore. Go T-Breds!
We talk a great game about supporting local soccer and especially the women's game...but we often don't walk the walk. Unfortunate.
As an SIUE fan who attended both games I was expecting SLU fans to outnumber SIUE fans (especially after SIUE won last year) but I was surprised to see we outnumbered them. Why do you think that is? Lack of marketing? I think SIUE could do much more to market the game and our departments overall. Also, it was disappointing to see almost 2,500 less tickets distributed compared to last year. What do you think it will take to get the game back to breaking attendance records?
Having worked (and still do in various levels) for both departments, I do think both schools could do a lot more to market themselves. SLU has made strides and yet...I have no idea why there were so few SLU fans for a local, historic derby when there was about 7k for Indiana a little over a week before. If SIUE stays competitive and becomes a story this year, I think that could perk up interest.
1:00, don’t let KC folk hear that it’s historical, they’ll find a way to invalidate it real quick
KC gets hysterical over historical facts
Hey, did we ever get a attendance for sunday?
Towards the end of the video I put it up on the top left. 6,128.
22,000 fans for a derby match is impressive by anyone's standards! Especially for a US College soccer derby in the 1980's! Mic sounds fantastic too. Great vid Tom :)
St. Louis was on a completely different level with soccer fandom in the 1950s to 1980s!
22,512. I say, if the schools would push it more, we could beat that!
100%!
My brother played soccer with Seth Anderson from SLU.
Awesome! High school? Youth?
@@SoccerZombieSTL High School
Cool!
Also did we see any CITY kits?
I saw a fair bit of CITY memorabilia in the stands.
Is SLU respecting SIUE in this match? SIUE isn’t chopped liver, I know they’re favorites in the OVC. Yes, it’s a much weaker conference but it isn’t like SLU is in a Power 4 or Big East either.
I'd say no, SLU did not properly respect SIUE and I question if their fans did (or lack thereof relative to SIUE).
The new microphone sounds fantastic! Well done, Tom S.Z. #supportlocalsoccer
Thanks Ian! I think I need to dial the gain back a little because it got peaky in spots. That or I just have a big mouth! 😅
LFG LOUCITY
nice blog. Really enjoyed it. Unforntunate Indy did not get the W Really enjoyed the Messi hunting lol
Thanks man! Yeah Indy winning would have been epic but KC took the game seriously to be fair. And yeah, Messi hunting is my running gag and this one was particularly fun lol
