Sou Tricampeão Mundial

The song 'Sou Tricampeão Mundial' by Torcida Independente is a vibrant celebration of São Paulo FC's historic victory in the 2005 FIFA Club World Cup. The lyrics recount the thrilling match against Liverpool, highlighting key moments such as Mineiro's goal and the crucial save by the legendary goalkeeper, Rogério Ceni, referred to as 'o Mito' (the Myth). This victory marked São Paulo's third world championship, a feat that filled fans with immense pride and joy, as they celebrated throughout the night, reveling in their team's success.

The song also emphasizes the sense of superiority and rivalry that exists in Brazilian football culture. The repeated references to 'porcada' and 'galinhada' are derogatory terms used to describe fans of rival teams Palmeiras and Corinthians, respectively. By stating that these rival fans were crying while São Paulo fans were singing, the song underscores the dominance of São Paulo FC in Brazilian football. The chant 'Sem libertadores, não ganha mundial!' (Without Libertadores, you don't win the world) further reinforces the importance of winning the Copa Libertadores, the South American club championship, as a prerequisite for competing in and winning the Club World Cup.

This anthem is not just a recount of a football match; it is a declaration of identity and pride for São Paulo FC supporters. It encapsulates the emotions of triumph, rivalry, and the deep connection fans have with their team. The song serves as a reminder of past glories and a motivator for future successes, uniting fans in their shared love for the club and its storied history.
