This one isn't actually THAT bad (all things considered). Italia 90 proved to be an excellent World Cup for England until they lost to the Germans in the semi-finals on penalties.

This was the team of an ageing Shilton, Gary Lineker in his pomp, and of John Barnes, a man who would insist on rapping at the drop of an England cap. His 'rap' at the end of this song has haunted him to this day. He is often serenaded with it at football grounds across the country. He will never escape it.

For a generation in England, along with Pavarotti's 'Nessun Dorma' this song brings back memories of a campaign in which England came so near to the World Cup Final.

The 2010 World Cup song was GREAT, IMO. Keep up the great posts. LOVE the World Cup. Wish I was there.
