Burnley Fans Remix 2010 WC Song For Foster

Burnley Fans Remix 2010 WC Song For Foster

Lyle Foster is earning further admiration from the Burnley fans who've created a chant for him, remixing "Waka Waka". Check it out! 

What's the story? 

Bafana Bafana striker Lyle Foster bagged his third Premier League goal of the season in Burnley's win over Luton Town, with the Clarets faithful belting out a new chant for him.

The creative Burnley fans sampled Shakira's "Waka Waka", the official song from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, for Foster's chant, which has also been used by Arsenal's fans for one of their attackers.

Let's take a closer look...

"Waka Waka" for Lyle Foster

Lyle Foster made his return from suspension and got onto the scoresheet once again for Burnley in their 2-1 away win over Luton Town in the English Premier League on Tuesday evening.

Foster has been a bright spark for Vincent Kompany's men so far this season, getting onto the scoresheet three times in five league appearances.

The Clarets fans have simply fallen in love with the former Buccaneer, and have created a chant to sing to him, sampling the chorus of "Waka Waka (This time for Africa)" by Shakira.

The song has a special place in the hearts of not only South Africans, but football fans around the world, who still seem to enjoy it over a decade after the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Mzansi.

Burnley's fans have connected the song to their in-form South African star, with altered lyrics reading:

"Tsamina mina, eh, eh, Lyle Foster, eh, eh/ Tsamina mina zangalewa, He's from South Africa."

Arsenal fans have also taken inspiration from "Waka Waka", using it for their German star Kai Havertz who registered his first goal for the club in their 4-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend.
