It took me a couple of listens to get into this but the new, official, England song (brought together by Simon Cowell) is just fantastic! It’s a charity single, which is no bad thing either. More importantly than that, it has all the markings of a great World Cup anthem. Give it a couple of spins, see what you think.

Also, we were wondering if any other countries represented in the World Cup have their own songs. Haven’t heard any. Is it just an British thing, like fish & chips, Mini Coopers and Bonfire night? If you’re country as a song, let us know. We’ll give it a spin!

In the meantime, here’s Dizzie & Smithy on the final of Britain’s Got Talent…
