Y8 W32 - C'mon England!

Hi Vic,

It reads well :D
Some people are on the pitch - they think it's all over..
IT IS NOW!

I imagine this is a spoke part, so maybe it would come across clearer when heard. I'm not sure what these lines mean.
Who are the "some people" players? fans? They think what is over? the game? the final match? their hope? "It" is now....What is "IT" ?

Suggestion:
Since we won the World Cup or even had a decent World Cup song,
This works, but it's kind of taking the focus off a pep talk to complain about the music....if that's the intention, it comes across. Another idea would be to keep the focus on the pep talk For example:

Since we won the World Cup (or HAD/TO HAVE) SOMETHING DECENT WORTH SINGING ABOUT

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for comments, James...

"Some people are on the pitch - they think it's all over - IT IS NOW!" is our most beloved soundbite, ever....here's a link.

That's why I threw THAT particular quote in....as for the rest of your comments, I'll take them on board....what I was trying to do was equate the last time England won the WC with the last time we actually produced a decent song for the fans to sing along to - although, strictly speaking, that doesn't work - "Three Lions" was a GREAT song about football, but it was directed at a bunch of under achievers....

Oh, for the glory days of "World Cup Willie!" and Lonnie Donegan......

:D :D :D

There'll always be an England! :D

Thanks for the clarification, Vic. At least I was right about it being a speaking part :wink:

I wondered when you'd write something like this.

Second line, I'd change "shout about" to "cheer about" or "brag about", as the rhyme is with the line above. The double rhyme here doesn't work for me.

I had to look up Jules Rimet, so perhaps you might vary one chorus to include "that golden trophy"?

Also, any way to "add a star" above the 3 lions shield?

I'll get you a program while we're there. 8)

@BlindKiwi: At least you have 2 ref crews going! US has none. :?

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: You're going to the World Cup?!? :shock: :shock: :shock: And you didn't get the "Jules Rimet" reference?!?

I'm sorry Laz, but you've just forfeited your tickets. Didn't you know that was a basic fact you have to get right on the "Football and WOrld Cup Trivia Quiz" in order to be able to use those tickets? No? Well, I passed (with distinction), so if you could just mail those tickets you have to Miss Scrybe Zizou, Flat 66, Pele Towers, Eusebio Lane, Cryuff Moores, Beckenbauershire, E66 1PY..... :wink:

Good song, Vic - looking forward to hearing an mp3 of this!

Listen here young lady! :D I'm old enough to have seen Beckenbauer (the original "Becks") and Pele live when they played for the NY Cosmos, and I coach the signature Cruyff and Belladonna (oops, Maradona) moves to my team.

And you know very well why I don't know the name of the WC Trophy - we've never won it! :shock:

So yes, we'll be at a round-of-16 and a quarter-final in J-burg. You can see the souveniers when you visit.

the NY Cosmos

Don't forget the current legend (and dunno why he isn't in the USA team...), Woody Harrelson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh3mr8Ez4tg&feature=related

So yes, we'll be at a round-of-16 and a quarter-final in J-burg.

So if the results go the way I've predicted them, you could be in for a treat.... there are two last sixteen matches scheduled for Jo'Burg, I reckon Argentina v Uruguay (or possibly Mexico) will be one, and Brazil v Chile the other.

For the Q/F's at Jo'Burg, I reckon you could be watching either France v England or Italy v Spain. Although, if the USA top their group and win their last 16 match (probably against Australia) you could be watching France v USA.....

Group C (England, USA, Slovenia, Algeria) is going to be a bad one to finish 2nd in - it'd mean a last 16 match against Germany, a 1/4 final v Argentina, and a semi-final v Spain.....to face Brazil in the Final. So that England v USA match is looking to be a must-win game to top the group!

:D :D :D
