I think this is probably ITV's best effort to date. They shouldn't try and compete with the BBC's highbrow 'local culture' approach as they'll always come off second best. A brightly-coloured, fast-tempo sequence with a fairly decent pop song is just more their image.
@kisbie ITV Sport would be more appealing and enjoyable to watch if it didn't try and sell it'self as a lads-mag style production outfit . Apart from it's stellar Champions League coverage - ITV's efforts at producing top quality coverage are just embarrassing and irritating. BBC Sport might be superior in many ways but in no way is it good enough either. the BBC's general Football, Golf, Horse-Racing and Moto GP coverage could be far better. Maybe if they scrapped BBC3 and reinvested it?
Thanks mate I'd really prefer this version though. I don't think they released it as a single at all and I can't find it on any of their albums. Oh well cheers anyway
@saintcoxyboy oh well alot of people will be arrested. in 2006 after the world cup on a survey of more than 20,000 people 86% loved the kasiaban version
what's this bullcrap about this being a bad intro? they display the previous world cups and bring it to life. this is cool

nothing compared to France 1998 ITV Opening Sequence. Both the music and visuals on that are great!

best world cup opening song

I love Kasabian but I don't think anyone should cover any song by David Bowie. There simply isn't any point because the guy is pure genius!

Only recent time ITV have done better than BBC, not counting Euro 2008 because neither of them really tried there.

Prefer this to the BBC's 06 theme. Same to for World Cup 98. The Beeb sometimes seem to be trying to out do Italia 90
