A nation laments

Bad news:
The FA has confirmed that, for the first time since 1966, there will be no official song to mark England's World Cup campaign in South Africa.

According to an FA spokesman, the England management "want to be fully focused on the football".
Wondering which of the WAGs Cap'n Vice is going to sort out next can't be helping to keep the team "fully focused" at the minute...but yes, if Capello thinks the team having an official song will help make the difference between getting stuffed by Algeria and lifting the World Cup, he's quite right to tell them to forget it.

Still for those who remember the monumental efforts by New Order, the Lightning Seeds and Ant & Dec, it's a sad day indeed.

Following the viral success of Rage against the Machine's Xmas No.1 perhaps now is the time for us to push online for a revival of the best World Cup anthem ever?

Any video starring Peter Beardsley is going to struggle in the aesthetic stakes...
