1. Three Lions - Baddiel and Skinner

105 votes Vote for me!

Originally written for Euro 96, the song was such a big hit that it was rewritten for the World Cup in 1998.

2. World In Motion - New Order

103 votes Vote for me!

Certainly one of the best and most well liked World Cup songs and probably John Barnes' best rap ever, including the Anfield Rap.

3. England 82 World Cup Squad - This Time

98 votes Vote for me!

Sung by the 1982 World Cup side, the players obviously didn't take strong enough notice of their own lyrics.

4. Vindaloo - Fat Les

90 votes Vote for me!

Another effort for the World Cup in 1998, this time from Lily Allen's dad. It does well for catchiness but arguably doesn't have the most meaningful lyrics!

5. 2006 Korea World Cup Song

90 votes Vote for me!

Korea thought this song would inspire them to the same sort of heights as in 2002 where they reached the semi finals on home soil.. It didn't.

6. La La Engerland

89 votes Vote for me!

Not one of the best know World Cup songs but it still has many fans and could be an outsider for best World Cup song.

7. Embrace - World At Your Feet

87 votes Vote for me!

Not brilliantly received by England fans but grew on many people and not nearly as bad as some people make out.

8. Del Amitri - Don't Come Home Too Soon

86 votes Vote for me!

The official Scotland song for World Cup 98 didn't have the required effect, Scotland couldn't have come home any sooner having finished bottom of their group.
