Apparently due to public demand the England World Cup Song 'Sing It For England' is going to be re-released for 2010. The song was originally a contender for the 2006 World Cup but didn't make it, but it is meant to be back this time with a few as yet undisclosed 'star guests' helping out..... Quite catchy - just your average group of British builders having a sing-song in the street while they're hard at work - class!!
The England World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine is to be screened exclusively live on the internet for the first time ever. The rights to the match - away at Ukraine - were originally sold to Setanta who of course have since collapsed and are no more - as a result of this the international football agency Kentaro tried unsuccessfully to re-sell the match rights to the other big broadcasters i.e. BBC, ITV and Five... After failing to reach an agreement the broadcast rights have now been sold to media group Perform who are streaming the match LIVE as a pay per view event. Apparently the cost for the event is £4.99 if viewers 'sign up early' and Perform say they are going to limit subscribers to one million.....
England have already qualified for the World Cup after winning all 8 of their group matches, perhaps why no agreement was made to sell to the more traditional broadcasters but it still wont be the same as watching it on the tv or down the pub....Cum On Eng-er-land!!!

ENGLAND ALLSTARS ANIMATED WORLD CUP HIGHLIGHTS ENGLAND V SWEDEN
Very funny video by the England All Stars. There is a series of animated videos by these guys for many of the England games, with different styles of commentating. This one is well funny - one of my favourites. Great mix of sarcasm and a very dry sense of humour. Especially funny when Michael Owens knee 'goes' and the leg actually drops off from below the knee!! And when the commentator calls Peter Crouch a 'useless ba***rd' - excellent!! This one is England v Sweden, there are loads more countries also given the All Star treatment....... and last but not least check out David Beckham's hair, hilarious!!

FOOTBALL RIOTS BLITZ 'SOMEONES GONNA DIE TONIGHT'
Blast from the past - Someone's Gonna Die Tonight by Blitz. The video to this track shows football riots, police reaction etc, all set to one of the best punk tracks from back in the day...Very controversial at the time, still talked about now! Presented as 'War On The Terraces'.....
Will football fans ever stop fighting? Will punk ever really die? I don't think so!
