Its quite simply my favourite New Order football song. Its euphoric and is matched by the brilliance of the England team in that Italia 90.
If Waddles shot hadnt hit the post in extra time, we would have done the Krauts and Arggies.

Having just got back from Rome, had it stuck in my head for the past four days, owing to seeing the Carabinieri evry 10 minutes (on the streets, I hasten to add, it wasn't that sort of holiday!) It's not their best, but by no means their worst, and as a snapshot in time brings back good memories... And it's also NO at their POP! best, any band who can write a footy anthem that good and still retain a degree of coolness mus be pretty special...

a great pop song..captured a great summer... and them doing it live at the reading festival was great to..

Yeah, dream on....it's never gonna happen unless you get another dodgy Russian linesman and a crooked crossbar.
At least we usually qualify these days!
Yup. If there was a trophy for just qualifying you guys would be laughing.
And if there was a trophy for qualifying, actually believing that you've got a cat's chance of winning it and then being shown up as the third-rate footballing nation you are by getting f**ed out in the Quarter Finals (again) you guys would have been given the trophy to keep by now.
I repeat...

Scotland have played at eight World Cup Finals — including 5 consecutive tournaments from 1974 to 1990. They have missed out on progressing to the second round three times on goal difference: in 1974, when Brazil edged them out; in 1978, when the Netherlands progressed; and in 1982, when the USSR went through. Despite playing at eight finals tournaments they have actually qualified on nine occasions but the SFA declined to participate in 1950. Not too bad at all for a country with a population of circa 5 million, hardly, oil and water, more like whisky (a quality single malt) and water!
England on the other hand with their population of nearly 60 million have only managed to qualify 12 times, a mere 3 times more than the Scots despite their huge population advantage!More a mix of cheap gin and water (gin being of course the Dutch national drink, before the English nicked it from them).
And in Euro 2008, while Scotland
were beating the world cup holders France: all England could manage against the lowly Moldavia was a miserable draw! So nar-nar-nee-na- nar! :)

Ronaldo celebrates the winning penalty, and England are going home. 
WIM ain't absolutely not one of my NO favourites... It's something i 'd compare to an exercise ... Of course the song is popular, even if u're not an english football 'fan. C'est entrainant, ok but very far from what i like the most in NO material . It's danceable, alright - i really don't like when the ex-football hero sings...Really not - the end is an hymn, if u want, but my favourite NO /JD'hymn has another name : it's called CEREMONY. With a deep impact 4ever.
