Favourite World Cup songs.

[Mr Pouya]

I wasn't sure where to post this but as it's WC related and contains a Iranian song, I will post in the football forum.

Anyway, what is your favourite WC song(s). These are my fav two.

1998 England unofficial football song, a classic imo and also reminds of the time when the fans were delusional and full of optimism. Not going to lie, I kinda miss that as England fans here have given up and the hype and excitement has been dead during the last few tournaments. Also 98 was the first WC I properly remembered and followed.

2006 Arash also a classic. So hyped and pumped but we all saw what happened

No doubt

[Dortmund]

Waving Flag was always my favorite

I can't call it a World Cup song but rather England's World Cup exit song (Numb by the Pet Shop Boys) in 2006 after they were eliminated by Portugal.

At the time I liked that one, but over the years I've grown to prefer "the other" unofficial England song from that world cup, just because it epitomises England more for me. A young Lily Allen is in the video.

La Copa de la Vida, the 1998 WC official song. Despite the fact that I do not understand Spanish, this song touched a nerve.

Less a World Cup song and more of a commercial:

Yup, and double fun fact is that he is an anti-PC right winger whereas she is a leftie
