Clear out those dirty thoughts...
I'm talking about The World Cup of course.
I'm sure there will be lots of posting and comments over the next few months about football, and if you look back to the beginning of this blog, you'll see that posting number 3 perhaps gave you a sense of how serious us Brits take footy.
With only 13 days and 21 hours to go, what better way (for England fans of course) to get in the mood than to have a peek at these Eng-Ger-Land videos at http://uk.launch.yahoo.com/world-cup-2006/ (I think they work best with Internet Explorer). Special thanks to my converted England-fan wife for tracking these down - of course, her favourite is the Embrace track (which is the official one - "a little slow, but bloody good").
I must warn those readers that aren't truly appreciative of the football world - some of these are a little dodgy, but you can't complain about the creativity and clever lyrics.
Nice new snazzy kits eh lads ! Everyone fork over another 60 quid ! Pic at the top is from the World Cup site and is from yesterday's pre-tournament friendly loss to Belarus (no worry lads, just testing out some of the newer players!).

I like the Young Stanley one. These can't be just just average lads - what's the poop Cuz?
As for kids' faves: Tony Christie brought them back to last summer's wedding - conga line anyone? My precious girl has drawn a book showing scenes from the Crazy Frog video - she's watched it many times. They also love the Sham 69 song. And of course, (probably from contagious enthusiasm) World at Your Feet.
I've only heard/seen the Young Stanley one once, but really liked it.
What will be #1 in the UK? Embrace were hoping for #1 ("unless Crazy Frog come out with a song" they said - is this what fueled the Crazy Frog song?), but now with the airplay that Sham 69 are getting, I can't wait to see where they all end up. (As long as I can buy some on this side of the pond).

Young Stanley are a group of builders that penned the tune and took it to a few music companies. They all said 'you are too old' - so they released it on their own label/through the tinternet.
I must admit to not having heard any of the songs, but did catch the 3-1 win last night.
Anyone remember my comment from a few weeks ago, something along the lines of - "....we'll do okay so long as we don't loose any key players through injury...". That was when they were all fit?!
To the Semis.
