The Port Vale loss to Chelsea confirms my belief that Sunderland are massively in a false position (they lost to Port Vale), I think it's fairly obvious they will regress next season. Xhaka will also be a year older, pick up more injuries and I'm not sure their recruitment holds up when it comes to attacking players. I think next season will be all about who can score goals against stubborn defences.
As for Arsenal that was also predictable, for 3 seasons a trophy has somehow been won in February but they run out of steam at the crucial time. Very performative team too, looking at the cameras at any opportunity.
 
I just listened to the world cup song 2026 for the first time and I want the United States of America to perish in the most virulent plague ever conceived.

This shit is not criminal, it is genocidal to the good senses that we evolved for thousands of years.

It is so bad and artificial it made the last cup k-pop shitty ultracapitalist vomit seems like high art.

IT is incredible how americans can DEVOLVE FROM 1994 WC and do this shit

Haven't heard this official WC song and frankly I don't really care but if you think Americans are the worst I introduce you to the shit we Germans come up with. That song was released before the WC in 1994.

Take some pride brother this is the right type of corny lmao

Tbh this doesn't sound out of place at all for the 90's, especially in America. Sounds like a rap song for the sega genesis or a coming of age sitcom about a black pre-teen. Minus the German lyrics, of course.

Please, listen to it, you will understand the horror

This one?


Generic Jelly Roll modern country rap rock slop. The only issue I see is it doesn't fit in any way a footy tournament. Like how the fuck is this song supposed to hype me for a footy match? It doesn't (but none of the last few world cup songs did that so it continues the strike of boring-ass-non-footy-related-slop-songs). Feels more like a song for the intro of a tv show. It's just so generic and boring. Play that song on the radio and nobody would know that this is the song supposed to hype up a fucking football world cup.

I don't like it but I don't hate it. Well, I hate it bc it's modern slop music and we must burn down the tripple A music industry anyways but I expected way worse.
 
You’re supposed to hate the official song. That’s why it’s shit, to drive you to make something that’s a battle cry to your country and fellow men from the working class. Something to make your own that Nike, Pepsi and the blue chip sponsors wouldn’t touch with someone else’s shitty stick.

Here is the problem, this slop fails not only at a conceptual level of what a WC should even be and the lyrics are so out of touch for what it is. The WC song should invoke things related to the event, sport or the feeling of the competition.

Some people will mention 2010 bit that was just the peak, lets go back to 1998. You get this:


Now the 2026 one, lets see the lyrics:

Never felt this free before
I'm high and I'm getting higher
Chains don't rattle no more
Good Lord, I'm feeling lighter

They were cold, cold, way too heavy
Weighing me down like a broke down Chevy
Till my soul, soul was good and ready
To lay them burdens down
I was shackled and battling, in a war with myself
I was praying and praying my way out of that hell
Same old boots but they're off the ground
Devil, try to catch me now

Now them chains don't rattle no more
Good Lord, I'm feeling lighter
They dropping on a hard wood floor
To the rhythm of a heavenly choir
Never felt this free before
I'm high and I'm getting higher
Chains don't rattle no more
Good Lord, I'm feeling lighter

Nadie, nadie sabe
Lo que me ha costado eso nadie lo sabe
Decían que terminaría en la calle
Mírenme volando, ya no hay quién me baje

Chains don't rattle no more
Good Lord, I'm feeling lighter
They dropping on a hard wood floor
To the rhythm of a heavenly choir
Never felt this free before
I'm high and I'm getting higher
Chains don't rattle no more
Good Lord, I'm feeling lighter

This doesn't feel like a WC song because it isnt just like you said, it is a generic country song about being a fucking drunk and trying to stop being alcoholic or drug usage. Even mentioning a fucking brand or God and Devil feels out of place because that was never supposed to be in a official WC song. And the Spanish part is also so generic that it felt like it was done by chat GPT.

Even last WC had songs about unity and so and so. This is just fucking nothing. But what can we really expect from fucking Americans? This jelly roll lardass only sport in his life is probably eating and being shot.

And If they left it to the Mexicans they would give us something not completely shit and out of touch with the reality of the event itself.

Every single news that comes from this WC makes SA, Brazil, Qatar and Russia seem COMPETENT at holding gigantic events. And guess what: USA will hold THE FUCKING OLYMPICS IN 2028, a much bigger event globally.

The first time I heard it I legit thought motherfucker wrote a song about loosing weight. Which would be fitting for the Murican cup.

The official World Cup song is always some kind of mainstream pop stuff, I don't know why anyone would expect to really like it.

Yes but you can have inoffensive or even catchy pop slop. And then you have this. As someone who doesn't follow the scene I had no idea there's such thing as country rap. Frankly, it sounds cringe as fuck.
