3 Lions or World in Motion?

[flibbertyjibber]

Bit harsh on New Order

But yeah it’s Three Lions. The adaptability of footballs coming home is great too. Great times singing Tranmeres going up to that tune in May.

Actually about to listen to all the songs mentioned in this thread in a little playlist I’ve made for my half hour drive just now

I have spent most of the world cup playing Nessun Dorma, Aztec Gold and Tutti Al Mondo.

Very sad but reliving my childhood.

I must admit I loved Del Amitri - Don't Come Home Too Soon. They were out before it charted weren't they?

Three Lions is iconic. I'm not ashamed to say I absolutely love it.

I won a Del Amitri at the pub raffle a few weeks back.

3 Lions is miles better. There's a reason it's the only one of the two that ever gets sung on a terrace. World in Motion is a mediocre early-90s dance track that happens to be tangentially related to football.

Very harsh on World in Motion imo. New Order are great, and so is the song. Not really one for the terraces though, I agree.

Also, what do we make of Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Not exactly a football song, but when it's played over a montage of football stuff it's hard not to enjoy imo.

Hate to be a pedant, but The Lightning Seeds is just Ian Broudie with a band name, essentially, isn't it?

I guess by 'actual band' I mean 'had other songs and were good'

Also,

An ATG film.

It really is.

Along with Cool Runnings I watch it at least once every two years.

“Oi Pele!....”

Blasphemy.

On topic, 3 Lions is clearly the better anthem, World In Motion is nowhere near as "football" as 3 Lions. Still like the latter though.

Three Lions all set to be No.1 in the charts for the third time, the first since 1998 -- apparently ending twenty years of hurt.

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home


It's such a nice song it feels wasted on Football of all sports and England of all nations.

Perhaps you'd feel more at home at FooballWeb or English FootballFans?

Anyways, Supporting England at anything is only okay if they're playing Australia, but the Three Lions song is so good its making me question that.
