Touch Of The Palm On Face

THE greatest World Cup Theme that never was:

Yes. There are two New Order world cup songs. One was inspired by their sense of outrage and is one of the greatest pop songs ever written. The other was done for money and has rapping footballers on it.

From my favourite World Cup ever:

My next-door neighbour had this record, I remember him playing the living fuck out of it for the whole of the tournament.

And AW, you are pretty much on the money about Touched By The Hand Of God, easily among their best singles.

Not exactly for the World Cup (though I think they later tried to release it to tie in with it) but:

This abomination almost makes me want England to go out in the first round.

Fuck me. That makes me not want to even live in England.

I heard this in a sports shop yesterday while shopping for trainers

Very possibly the worst thing I have ever heard

I saw Stan Boardman promoting that song on ITV1's The Mint when it came out. He was getting into some distintly dodgy racist areas so they kind of froze him out.

They already have, on this very page.

Edit: OK, the previous page now then.

As a racist southerner this song essentially sums up Scotland for me.
