The NASL [San Jose] Earthquakes opening game in 1974 was immediately preceded by a short concert by Queen, who had been commissioned by the owner of the team to write a theme song for the fledgling soccer team. Queen performed only two songs. The first song was We Will Rock You. The second song was the one planned for the flip side of the 45 release, a song that the producers thought would complement We Will Rock You. That song is We Are The Champions. The rest is history.

Assuming it's true, I gotta say, that is way cool.
As a total aside, on the radio is one of my favoritest bands. Ahhh, happy Friday.
