Only a handful of teams in European football history have qualified for the World Cup without conceding a single goal, the men's European teams to achieve this feat being West Germany in 1982, the Netherlands and Spain both in 2010, and now England.
In women's football, four teams - Germany in 1995, Denmark in 1999, Sweden in 2003, and Germany in 2007 - have achieved a 100% record during qualification for the World Cup.
A look back at football history reveals some rather unusual chants that fans still sing today, often referencing incidents from decades past.
For instance, a chant sung by Rangers supporters after their win over Motherwell in the Scottish Cup replay of 1961 starts with the line "As I was walking down the Copeland Road," and continues: "I heard a mighty roar." This song is said to have originated as an expression of the team's victory over their rivals at that time.
In another example, a goalkeeper from Walsall, Trevor Wood, played for Northern Ireland without any apparent connection. In a more unusual tale, it was reported that George Best starred in an indie film festival about six or eight years ago where he scored early in the second half of a Manchester United match against Coventry City.
Meanwhile, Troy Parrott's impressive performances for Ireland have left fans wondering how they compare to great individual performances in a single international window.
Lastly, there is a record of Morocco beating New Caledonia 16-0 in an under-17 World Cup match without any player scoring two goals.

What's going on with that?

, but what's with all these weird chants? 
'As I was walking down Copeland Road... I heard a mighty roar' still sends shivers down my spine
