Go Army! US Navy receives some trash-talk ahead of American football game

Every year the US Army takes on the US Navy at American football, with the winner enjoying bragging rights.

But in the build-up to the game some humorous trash-talking takes place, each side being taunted about which team is most likely to win.

This year the US Army has posted a video on its Europe and Africa account on X, formerly Twitter, showing a sergeant major repeatedly asking various personnel if they have "found it".

• The moment a US Army tank 'blows up' Navy rival's goat mascot
• Army Jackals play first-ever American Football game against Yorkshire
• US Navy's 'secret' air-to-ground ping pong ball drop on Army rivals ahead of American Football game

All the troops respond saying they haven't found it, before the sergeant major reports back to his officer, saying: "We looked everywhere. No one can find any chance of Navy beating Army."

The officer replies: "Of course they can't Sergeant Major. Navy absolutely has no chance of beating Army. Go Army! Beat Navy."

Another video posted by the account shows army personnel from around the world, including Germany, Australia, Spain and Poland, wishing the US Army luck from the US Army Europe and Africa base.

And a video posted on X by Christine Wormuth, the Secretary of the Army, shows the Spirit Band from West Point Military Academy chanting and marching through the Pentagon.

The band also presented Ms Wormuth with her own US Army jersey for the game.

Last year, the US Army team "blew up" the US Navy's goat mascot and posted the hilarious video online.

This year will see the teams from the US Military Academy at West Point and the US Naval Academy meet on the gridiron at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Saturday 9 December.
