FIRST HALF GOOD:
I love the single. As people have said it is a 'grower' and stands up as a single on its own rather than just being a football anthem, it should be a great listen for years.
Recent "football anthems" seem to date rather quickly with chants about the England squad, which I feel make the 'songs' feel out of date a few years down the line when these players are barely remembered or have been ridiculed by the nation. (Who wants to remember players like Emile Heskey was the best our country could offer?)

World at you feet side steps that problem as it is a song in its own right and will be played for some years.

It isn't "Three Lions" - but it is good and there is always room for more good sports anthems.

Everyone must have heard the world cup song by now and if given a chance this is a winner!
But even if you're not sure on the title song, buy this for the B-sides and the video. The video helps capture the song and puts it into a world cup specific spectrum. The B-sides were and show a progrssion in the musical ideas and bodes so well for the future of this great band!
