More contemptible than any cynical Argie tackle, isn’t it time World Cup songs were shown the red card? Mercifully, England - presumably distracted by Embrace’s World At Your Feet and before that, woeful tripe from Ant & Dec and The Spice Girls - have no ditty this year, the players advised to focus on their game - and, boy, do they need to, Fabio! Thierry Henry may have done us all a favour, albeit inadvertently; with Ireland dumped out, there can be no reprise of 1990’s Give It A Lash Jack, while fellow failures, Scotland, are denied the chance to bludgeon us with the caber toss that was Ally’s Tartan Army. Official anthems fare no better; witness well-know er, South African Shakira’s 2010 effort. With lame lyrics such as ‘When you fall, get up, oh oh. And if you fall, get up. oh oh..’ it’s entitled Waka Waka. Nuff said!
