Music and women's soccer are probably the best two things in the world, so together they can conquer the universe Or maybe just this thread. U should post - Songs about WoSo, as many bangers as possible - Chants that someone has made up - Music that's popular at the game - Footballers who make music, like Chelcee Grimes - Rapping commentators - Poetry and stuff(?)
Starting with a couple of songs from the African Women's Cup of Nations AWU featuring GAELLE ACHIRI - Our Game
And from the same tournament (2016 in Cameroon) Salatiel x Mr Leo ft Mink's, Daphne, Valdez, Mary A - We Are Champions - http://dcodedtv.com/salatiel-mr-leo-finally-give-afcon-2016-a-united-theme-song-we-are-champions/
Beats & Rhymes FC has interviews with a lot of women's players about their favourite music, with Christian Brookes - http://beatsandrhymesfc.com/ And the US women's national team gave away the secret music that helped them to become the World Cup champions. Make sure you're writing this down: - https://www.billboard.com/articles/...er-team-world-cup-2015-pregame-playlist-music "Usually we start with Coldplay's 'A Sky Full of Stars' or Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud'" Hmm, maybe anyone can win it.
The team with the most musical nickname, the Reggae Girlz, are Jamaica's national team. And they have their own song! It was made by three of the children of Bob Marley – Cedella, Stephen and Damian Marley Play it loud
When national anthems go wrong (Part 1 of 700) 1: Wales The PA system didn't work, they sang it themselves https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10160044743390361 2: @Fureeku's Maldives "The second day of the tournament on Wednesday India and Maldives lined up for the national anthem. But the organisers could not play the national anthem of Maldives through sound systems citing technical reasons. Instead some of the Maldives players were handed over microphones to sing the anthem themselves. But FIFA and Indian national anthem went on as international practice, played though the sound systems." – The Kathmandu Post (Archived) I know that many people would sympathize with John Lennon's "imagine there's no countries". But if they come to visit, you do have to get their music right...
I am genuinely curious to know how that went, considering that most of us never bother to learn the words and resort to mumbling along with the tune instead.
"Imagine there's no lyrics" Actually it was broadcast live, you can see it at this point in the match video (but we don't see a microphone as such). They did an OK job given they're not professional singers...
The Lionesses' unofficial songwriter in recent years was Kendow, as he released two party pop hits near-misses, including "England Women, Come Together", because if you ACHIEVE then you can BELIEVE. But now he's gone off-piste and done an American one! With the same tune! - https://kendow.hearnow.com/usa-come-together Also, Kirsty Gallacher from the telly composed an England chant, although maybe it works better as a poem. - www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGxpORIS9WY&t=1m09s @BarryfromEastenders, as our main England expert, can you answer this very important musical question.... is there any word that rhymes with 'England'? The songwriters of the nation need to know.
Sorry to put you on the spot like that, @BarryfromEastenders. Apparently, England does rhyme with the word, "delinquent"
Women's World Cup: Scotland is winning the musical midfield battle this year, with 2 whole songs composed. This one is by "Scottish football's most commonly-used songwriter", Neil Grant, specially for the Woman's World Cup And the rousing tune to silence all the naysayers, "We Have Your Back", by Lynnie Carson featuring Horse, Unoma Okudo, Monica Queen & more! - www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYwmmjzq6dA
Germany Women's World Cup songs are a kind of industry in themselves, for example "Sister hit the goal" from 2011, but I haven't found a good one for this year. So, who has the best World Cup music? @blissett @Lechus7, do you know if anyone wrote a Nadeshiko Japan song?
Also I remember that, shortly after 2011 World Cup, Nahomi Kawasumi was so popular that she had been mentioned in a Japanese song, but I can't remember the band that had done that! I should search some Nadeshiko Japan thread of old to retrieve that song!
I'm sure nobody got sick of this one FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 Song - Tiësto & Dzeko - "Halfway There" feat. Lena Leon (Was played in the stadium before every match in the tournament!)
That wasn't an "official song" of the tournament, as this article says: It’s 2019, when will the Women's World Cup feature an official song? - https://medium.com/@lizzymykael/is-...rld-cup-feature-an-official-song-4849ed0af295 (Archived) Fifa has had official songs at some tournaments, like the U20 Women's World Cup in 2016 in Papua New Guinea "Kumul Susa" - Dadiigii and Mereani Masana
The Canada WNT pick their World Cup songs, Stephanie Labbé's the DJ. And OMG it's Hannah Wilkinson on the guitar! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=2423005131262688
You didn't ask for it... The inevitable GHANA post! Eagle Agrohemaa was the greatest mascot. A symbol of Ghana's courage, strength, focus and immortality AND GOOD DANCING
That was the fun before the Women's AFCON in Ghana, but there was more during the tournament. Akosua Agyapong's song was only performed once, but the official song "We Are Champions" by the pop star Wiyaala got a big dance routine at the opening ceremony, on artificial turf. A famous soccer fan, Wiyaala talked about her football ambitions on Triple A Network at the stadium, then demonstrated her mad skillz https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1918610118445009
Who decided that the Russian "best goals" countdown should be soundtracked by drum & bass and trance? Because that person is a genius
Pump up the volume, it's PUMP-UP PLAYLISTS ♫ To celebrate the exciting Concacaf, a group named Make & Rally asked the players to compile their favourite pregame tunes, on their playlists page: Pura Vida (by Gloriana Villalobos, Costa Rica) Pre-Olímpico (María Sánchez, Mexico) Pump Up List (Chelsea Surpris, Haiti) Dance Boi (by Phoenetia Browne, St Kitts & Nevis) ¡Panas Mix! (Rebeca Espinosa, Panama) Reggae Girlz (Yazmeen Jamieson, Jamaica)
St.Kitts&Nevis finished last in the group but Browne's playlist is the winner (the fact that is -2 C outside right now here in PL and the Caribbean notes that remind me of palm beach may have something to do with my pick )
If... football were a Sigur Rós music video? Super slow motion: Celtic FC v Glasgow City 17s Girls, 2015 (The song is the Greenland-themed "Kangerlussaq" by the Glasgow band Earths)
