So once again, barring either hell freezing over or the second coming of Jesus, the only decent official England football song will remain World in Motion – which was an accident anyway.
No surprises there, but they could at least have picked someone like the Kaiser Chiefs who would hopefully have produced something fun. Even the awful pun ("World At Your Feet") suggests it's going to be a toecurler, but we can only live in hope that one of the unofficial singles is bearable. Especially since England, as usual, will probably survive to the quarter finals and then get knocked out on penalties, meaning for prolonged exposure to the song.
But then, football in Britain is wrong, and has been for a long time – concerned only about itself and not about the people that blindly fund it. And when they look at things pop-cultural, it invariably gets it wrong – and how (backing something completely unmemorable against Three Lions in 1996, just as the most obvious example.) There are many more important things to complain about in British football – like how our ticket prices are a lot higher than continental Europe's – but this is just the most obvious example. Oh, New Order, where art thou?

Try this songt which I found on the web. Sweet Ingerland. You can download it at http://www.sweetingerland.com It’s certainly fun and at least you could imagine singing it on the terraces.
Now I know you’re the guy behind this, but I’m letting it pass because it’s at least relevant to the topic.
Nice try, though; even though it is just terrace chanting to the tune of “Sweet Caroline”. Not my cup of tea, but there you go.
I have heard the embrace song for the world apparently its meant 2 be up liftin but it does not sound it. Its another poor try 2 create a song the fans will enjoy n sing to. So i went on a mission 2 find another world cup song for the england team and i found this song by a group called Milkymans. the song does all the jobs it needs to it has lines that fans can sing to and it actually mentions the word ‘FOOTBALL’ unlike embrace. The site that i found it on was

In the block that has the england flag where it says “Nikke s ‘n’ Nyke Vs Danny c” click the blue button that says play. I was really impressed with this song please people have a look it might be a furture and inspire the boys to win bk the trophy since 1966 COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
Not really my cup of tea either; sorry.
I don’t mind WC songs that aren’t about football – as mentioned, my favourite is “World in Motion”, in which the football bits are pretty much tacked on – but the Embrace song is pitiful. It’s not the lack of “Eng-er-land”, it’s the lack of talent for me.
any one knwo what the newworld cup song is??
or a web site that has it??
