bellow

English translation: No, it's correct.

English term or phrase: bellow
Is there a mistake here? I think it should have been "blow". Right?


On two occasions before and after the match, I ask two fans what the game and the club mean to them. Neither one answers personally, but, uncannily, both quote the club’s most illustrious manager Bill Shankly: “Someone said: ‘Football is more important than life and death to you’ and I said: ‘Listen, it’s more important than that’.” Hearing some 40,000 supporters bellow the club’s rousing anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, I start to understand.
