World Cup Anthem

I've just heard Embrace's world cup offering and wish I hadn't.
No catchy hook line to sing from the terrace, no hummable refrain.
Embrace have excelled themselves in their output of garbage.
 
Well if this was supposed to divert the fans from '10 German Bombers' it has failed!
 
I think the PF collective could write a better effort.

I've just thought of a couple of lines:

England are crap, England are lame
goin' out in the quarters, what a shame

Admittedly short and unpatriotic
 
I quite like embrace but i have to say having only heard the track once it is a little lame and i thought they could have done something better, even Ashes has much more passion about it.

Was the 1966 song crap too ?
 
World Cup Willie [1966] not strictly speaking an England song, more a World Cup anthem but at least it had a bit of life to it and fans did make a half hearted attempt singing it at some games but they never really got past the opening line or two though. I see the mighty Showaddywaddy have re-released the magical "Hey Rock N Roll" as "Hey Eng - er - land" and it has a bit more kick than the Embrace effort. The cynic in me still thinks "I Predict A Riot" will be the terrace chant at some games.
 
What a dirge.

If I was at all interested in football, I might be a bit upset about it.

As it is :

I don't care
I don't care
I've got long hair and
I Don't Care
