Well, hey kids.

I'm Gez with the Little Rock Rangers.

I hear you want to be a soccer fan, and we're here today to tell you all about it.

All sports have got fans, but some of the best fans are soccer fans.

Come on, let me show you.

This is War Memorial Stadium, where the mighty Little Rock Rangers play.

Yeah.

(crowd cheering) (upbeat music) The Little Rock Rangers are a semi-pro team that plays right here at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas, for its home games.

Players come from all over the country and even the world.

Do you like to play soccer?

Maybe one day you could play for the Rangers, too.

We stream all our Rangers games live on TV so you could watch us at home.

But there is nothing more fun than coming to the stadium and watching the Rangers games live.

Our fans are awesome.

We've even got a super fan group called The Red Watch.

They're front and center at every home game.

Through the game, they're singing, they're banging drums.

They're making a whole bunch of noise.

And when we score, the place goes nuts.

If you come to one of our games and get really loud, may even be lucky enough to become one of our mascots.

Hey.

Hey.

OK, let it be known.

I'll work on that.

No, I'm not talking about that guy.

Although the stag is pretty cool.

In soccer, we have mascots who are kids who walk out with the players from the tunnel before every game.

It's really fun to be a mascot.

Right before game time, at every home game, our mascots make as much noise as they possibly can to get the players all fired up and ready to play.

(kids yelling) Let's go Rangers.

Do you think you could be a mascot?

I'll bet you could.

(upbeat music) I've been a soccer fan since I was a young boy, and some of the best experiences I've had in my life have been at soccer games.

The friends and the camaraderie, it's just unbelievable.

Everyone really comes together when they're supporting their team.

So you guys ready to learn how to be a good soccer fan?

Well, here's how you do it.

Step one, wear your team's colors.

Or better yet, how about a jersey?

(crowd cheering) Step two.

You can watch on TV, but it's even better to see them live.

(crowd cheering) Step three.

Let's make some noise.

(crowd cheering) This is a vuvuzela, and it makes this noise.

(buzzing sound) When there's a whole stadium of these things, it sounds like bees buzzing.

What noisemakers could you think of (upbeat music) How about a cowbell?

(bell ringing) Hey, we need more cowbell.

(bell ringing) When you're at the game, you'll see our supporters bang on the drums and smash on the cymbals and make all kinds of noise.

And if the team scores (crowd cheering) Go crazy!

Show me your goal face.

Another goal for the Rangers.

The Rangers score again.

And crowd goes wild.

Go!

Bring a pen so you can get some autographs.

(upbeat music) Learn some chants and cheers.

(crowd cheering and drums) (drums) (claps) Like our Viking clap.

(drums and claps) Scarves are a great way to show your support during a game.

Go Rangers.

(upbeat music) And finally, step four.

One of the most important things about being a soccer fan is to support your team no matter what.

It's great when you win, but if you lose, it's important you support your team even more because that's when your team needs your support the most.

Then if you do all those things, you're guaranteed to have fun.

Sounds like you're all set to be a great soccer fan.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hope to see you out here.

Bye for now.
