I agree with you guys that this theme suits the atmosphere after the game. But I think it should not be played at the final. It was played immediately after Japan beat USA on penalties in the 2011 WWC and it ruined the atmosphere of how it felt after loosing a WC final.
I heard this song yesterday on espn2 channel when USA played against Ecuador in the international friendly match. I heard it in half time. They only seem to play this song on espn channel when the U.S. national team plays. Theres another version of this song when its only club soccer teams or non u.s. international teams play.
@KEONANDMARK I remember they played this after the women's games at the World Cup. It's this song. To hear Ian Darke talk as this music plays in the background, it's an epic moment.
@zargotelc5 true this song inspires me so much it tells me i have a chance to do anything best feeling in the world! ian darke is such a great commentator remeber usa vs algeria?
I don't understand why they used this for the Women's World Cup as well. IMO the song has a tribal feel that went so well with South Africa but doesn't fit with Germany at all. That said, there are so many memories from the World Cup with this song!
They used the same songs, but they took out the drums and the vocals, so that it doesn't have the African feel anymore. So it's the same song, but a much different feel.
I like this music being used for the women's world cup coverage on ESPN. It is great but something is missing from it. The chorus. Don't get me wrong, I honestly think the 2010 World Cup may be in my book the best sports open EVER. The music, the set up, scenery, the cg work, and the feel. I usually get goose bumps with Super Bowl opens. I always had a thing for sports opens since I was young. This may be the best of the best. Hard to top.
It'll come soon enough. In between, we have the summer olympics, Copa America (South American regional tournament) Euro 2012, Confederations Cup (if that matters to anybody) and winter olympics. Not to annual battles in La Liga, English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, etc. Y'all speak truth though. Nothing seems right without the World Cup...
@XBooTyNuDyFRNCH Or you can just google " youtube to mp3 ". Click the first link on the browser, and copy paste this video link on that site. Youll have your mp3 in less than a minute.
Listening to this while the Netherlands and Spain were about to kick off. I was going for Holland but even though they lost reaching the finals for the third time unlike any other nations and still losing might be extremely hard to get over but if your the runner up you have nothing to be sad about as you actually lived the dream to get there
Too bad I missed this on TV when it played over and over. I could have gotten a higher quality file. Anyone know when this song is play in fll so I could set up a recording to capture it?
An amazing song! I am so glad to hear the full version!
Only complaint is quality of the sound, which is unfortunate, but I can't really complain when one of the best soccer themes is blasting over my speakers! Well done.
this song remained of the Ghana vs Uruguay...they had the tickets 2 go 2 the semi's but they lost the bookin....that waz the coolest way 2 eixt a world cup
What a great theme, this added so much dramatic effect when Japan lost to Paraguay in penalties, the players and fans in tears, hearing this song you just felt for them. They beautiful game also hurts.
@TheMadhatdude I remember after the US lost to Ghana in extra time I kept the post-game intermission show on after the loss, this was playing repeatedly, it really set the moment really well
@aztecabo1 I said the same thing after USA 94, then after France 98, later after Japan/Korea 2002, then Germany 2006, now again. After a while the world cups just come faster. Before we know it we are gonna be talking about Brazil 2014. So dont worry it will be here before we know it lol.
wow how'd you get the whole theme!? i must of watch every intermission during the games in the US but haven't heard anything as long as this. Amazing job
@Burn845285 It was playing over and over again on the espn channel called ESNa. It was just a blank screen that listed the upcoming match while this song played in the back ground. It would play over and over again for a couple of hours some time... I fell asleep to it one night as well :D
@M1K3999 did you record it on like a DVR or a tape at least? If so, the best audio for this video would be if you hooked the tv (or speakers) into the computer's mic input.
@megapark2 i feel the exact same way. whenever i hear it i picture the cameras passing the broadcasters and showing soccer city stadium in the background. unforgetable event.
@megapark2 did they seriously not do the best job with the world cup this past summer?? was so much fun to watch., great music. great opening ceremony.
The WCs coming to brazil, they should do a samba/orchestra epic piece of music. If it comes to England, do something with celtic music, if its America, then make a sweeping western piece like the Magnificent Seven.
@florider22 please try to keep ignorant and uninformed comments to yourself, the composer just happens to be an alummni of my highschool and has done a great amount of work in tv and videogame composition
In the search bar, plug in "ESPN World Cup Theme Lisle Moore" and the video comes up. It's a video of the song in the making. The first comment is from the composer himself and he cannot release the song until after the World Cup. :)
Lisle Moore, the composer, states that ESPN will not allow him to release the song. Search for "ESPN World Cup Theme Music Lisle Moore.mp4" top rated comment.
this music was specifically made for ESPN's coverage of the 2010 world cup. it was composed by this guy, lisle moore and his company called non-stop music. there's probably no mp3 for it... but it's awesome.
don't they have ESPN still using this as the ESPN national matches song?
