I'd like to hear it sung at Battersea Park before the kick-off. Thanks for finding that out Amir – sounds like it’ll be out in time for The Ball’s departure for Germany then.

I am all for it. Wouldn't it be just great if FIFA had its own anthem and played it instead of the national anthems as Chris has suggested?! Football should be apolitical, non-racist and universal. Afterall, it is about a round ball with its own rules that are universally accepted. Although in the world cup final it is all about a nation winning the ultimate prize, I think watering down the nationalistic aggrevations isn't a bad idea at all. Apparantly the song will be available to football clubs across the UK, with a resource pack and website on using the song in thier community in March 2006. This is a great idea by Blatter.
