You may just recognise this song from a certain drinks advert who are supporting the world cup. Yes this lovable little number is currently running on one of Coca Cola’s adverts to do with how goal celebrations began and how players/teams have since created their own throughout the years.

However, we deviate from the point here. This is not your typical football song. In fact, it in a way has nothing to do with football. It’s full of deep meaningful lyrics that read like the tale of Africa , where it has been and where it is going.  It’s a song of hope. Had it not been for the ad, then we might never have got to hear this little treat. It makes a difference from the usual football songs that come up time and time again when events like this show up. It’s probably going to end up being one of the more memorable of the games.

Rating: 5/5
