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!

people will chant what they want during the games... muppets can come up with rubbish new tunes all they like. no one will follow them!

Like embrace, its a good song, but definately NOT a football anthem.

chop

agreed Chop!

An anthem should make the hairs stand up on ya neck and give you that warm feeling

Jules Rimmet still gleaming
 

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. :thumb: 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. :)

Hi Suresh
That is exactly what i mean:), i am sure 'Three Lions' will be re-released for this world cup or at least i hope so

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.

Cool! - and a better option - more of an anthem imho

Spot on mate

chop

it's a bit slow, but i like it :thumb:

It's a great tune. It'll grow on yer.

so where can us not living in Britain hear it? any one have it as mp3 they can mail me????

They played it on Chris Moyles show on Radio 1. Might be on their podcast?

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)

I think the Sham effort fulfils that criteria!

Isn't it supposed to be sung in German, anyway?

Oh,it's the England song.Sorry I thought it was Belgiums entry for the Eurovision song contest from 15 years ago.
Utter drivel!

I could well have been anyway, it was a bit indestict - ori may need just to adjust my ear trumpet to get the full effect.;)
