This might be 2 questions in one, but here goes either way...
#1. Is England/ UK the only country that goes mad with football/ soccer songs in support of their national team?
#2. We really like this chant by The Laddz, "Chant Like an English Fan" (http://myspace.com/theladdz) has anybody else heard a better, more catchy song that you can actually chant AND dance to...?
Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) - Shakira and Freshly Ground is the official FIFA WC song.
Off the top of my head, I think the Germans have a habit of nicking our songs and then going even more mad about them - remember 1996 when they stole "Football's Coming Home?".
Waving Flag by Knaan, isn't that the World Cup Song for 2010?
Waving Flag is the official song for the World Cup. Canada doesn't have a World Cup Song and hasn't made the World Cup in years. Maybe we should host the World Cup so we can qualify and then we can get a song. Knaan is Canadian so maybe that's as close as we get to making the World Cup.
Check out my hub about the best England World Cup songs. http://hubpages.com/hub/England-World-C … d-Cup-2010
Sorry I would not post this normally but it seemed very relevant and I thought it might actually add to the conversation.
I think UK probably does go most mad when it comes to football songs!
I agree Waving Fag is an awesome song! and it's useful to all soccer fans not just a speciifc country.
