Unhappy England's Footie anthem - Oh Dear!

Now i for one want England to do well, in fact i want them to win beating Germany 10-1 in the final and have the Battle of Britian Memorial Flight do a flypast over the stadium just as the final whistle is blown

I heard the new anthem (i use the term loosely in this case) by Embrace - as an anthem it is pants, not uplifitng or motivational, not memorable or interesting a durge is best to discribe.

No mention of England!

Damn shame and hardly a 'three lions' beater!

Couldn't agree more. I was at the England Vs Scotland game at Wembley during Euro 96 when the 70,000 or so crowd starting spontaneously singing 3 lions. That was and is a brilliant anthem - I dusted off the CD single last week and it still has the same effect 10 years later.

Virgin Radio has organised a rival anthem - it's a re-hash of Sham69's "We're going down the pub" with the words "We're gonna win the cup". Should be quite good, and certainly more passionate than Embrace.

Embrace are turd and the lead singer cant sing to save his life. I'm sure it is rubbish.

the anthem should be a song any pi55ed up idiot can sing (me) along with everybody else in the pub before going home and kicking the girlfriend in the guts because we lost (joke)
