World Cup Fever

The big day has finally arrived. The World Cup begins today and England as a nation seems to have reached fever pitch. England has never seen this many flags since the coronation way back long before I was born. The whole country is drowning in a sea of red and white and it looks fantastic. Flags are hanging from cars, shops, schools, pubs and houses and virtually anything you could stick one on!

To get you in the mood (if you are not already) here is a selection of England related songs for your enjoyment. I'm making no excuse for the quality of these recordings as you know how bad things can get with football songs! Feel free to check out my World Cup page while you download and listen.
Enjoy.

C'mon England  C'mon England  C'mon England  C'mon England
