Shout for England Featuring Dizzee Rascal & James Corden is possibly the most epic of soccer
anthems. It may come as no surprise that Simon Cowell is the man behind this track and given
Corden's past success-rate in getting the nation behind him in campaigns such as Sports Relief,
this song stands to be one of the most popular in years.
The Back The Beard campaign for England is gaining momentum as it gets on James Cordens World
Cup Live show at the weekend. James, Simon Cowell, Katy Perry, Abi Clancy and Peter Shilton have
all shown their support for the campaign.
Show your support for England by growing that stubble and creating a nation of bearded men.
Song 1: A couple of posts ago I said how James Corden is the one of the most annoying
men in the UK. Well Simon Cowell, who normally has impeccable taste chose to team this fatboy up
with Dizzee Rascal to create this steaming pile of crap...
I am a massive fan of Dizzee and apart from his part in this song it is truly horrendous.
Dizzee Rascal has already had four number one singles in the United Kingdom. His motives,
therefore, for getting involved with the atrocious Simon Cowell vehicle World Cup song "Shout" (a
cover of the 1984 Tears For Fears protest song), remain unclear. Perhaps he genuinely feels that
hollering at the top of his voice about "Bobby Moore an' that" will really help the team while they
struggle against odds that seem to be getting longer with each passing day, five and a half
thousand miles away in South Africa.
So who isn't singing that Waka Waka song already? You know the official World Cup song?
I must admit that when I first heard Waka Waka I didn't like it at all. I was also thought it
rubbish that Shakira sang the song and not an African singer. But now, I hear bits of Waka Waka
here and there, and I must say, it is really catchy.
More World Cup tuneage Oh, hello - what's this? Simon Cowell has realised a major money-spinning
event was about to pass him by. Finding a spare finger to shove into the World Cup pie, he has put
together Dizzee Rascal and James Corden (never knowingly underexposed) to record a reworked version
of Tears For Fears' song [.
Simon Cowell's unofficial England World Cup song debuted last night on Britain's Got
Talent TV show. The song features Dizzee Rascal rapping and actor/comedian James Corden
singing the chorus, as they're both accompanied by flag waving England supporters onstage.
The song features a chorus from the Tears For Fears classic song, "Shout.
Tonight James Corden and Dizzee Rascal performed the unofficial England anthem 'Shout', which
will be a World Cup charity single where all royalties will be going to Great Ormand Street
Hospital. It is to be released early due to massive public demand and will be available from
Wednesday next week.

In case you can't get enough of her Girls Aloud eyelashes, or L'Oreal hair styilng products (for
her extensions, which are coming back to the telly), now you can wear Cheryl's face as well!
'Tis a tad "can you hear the lambs screaming, Clarice", no?
While the gossip is about fellow X Factor judge, Simon Cowell, asking contestants to
call Cheryl Cole her maiden name Tweedy we're more intent with understanding the need for
white-eyed paper faces.
"What a footballer Luka Modric is, hats off. Best in the league by a mile."
Oh well how nice. The 140 or less characters tapped into social networking guru Joey Barton's
keyboard on Sunday. You might have a point there, Joseph. Not too sure about his earlier efforts
regarding Simon Cowell and the desire to see him swing outside parliament for giving jumped-up
little indie twonks permission to defecate over The Clash back catalouge- probably a tad extreme-
but he at least appears to have a good eye for footballing talent.
For the 2010-11 Premier League season, TWI – the company who provides the feed and audio from
the commentators for the matches – has been playing a new catchy jingle during goal highlights
and sometimes before and after games. We finally tracked it down a few weeks ago and found that
it's a song by Kasabian called "Fire.
There's nothing that screams "German Simon Cowell!" more than this shot of
Joachim Loew sitting comfortably at yesterday's German NT press conference. Yeah,
it's totally normal to put a black sofa at the training ground my dad did it once,
Dunga sat on it.
Torres in Blue First impressions of Fernando is a post from: Just Football
by Joe Steppel
How do you solve a problem like Fernando? The question itself sounds like the foundation upon
which a melodramatic Andrew Lloyd Webber reality show would be based. Roman Abramovich sitting on
his gilded chair, stroking his white cat as he casts his gaze over Stamford Bridge; his finger
hovering over the eject-o-button with Carlo Ancelotti's name emblazoned across it in the colours of
il Tricolore.
It's that time in the World Cup 2010 tournament where a little bit of comedic relief would do a
lot of people the world of good, myself included. So who better than The Special One to provide the
laughs?
Following their victory against Slovenia the English team prepared for their next game against
Germany.
Cheryl Cole is contemplating giving Ashley Cole yet another chance as she spent a night
with him at their old home. In The Stands' Rolly Pelovangu diverges from the football talk
to investigate!
OK it is not necessarily football related, but the Chelsea fullback has been wooing and soothing
his ex after she has been going through some soul-searching in the wake of being ditched from the
US version of the X-Factor by Simon Cowell.
For those of you that love James Corden you will get a kick out of his show "World Cup Live".
This episode features appearances from Katie Perry, Simon Cowell, Abby Clancy, Adam Johnson, Gordon
Banks, and much more. He talks about the disastrous opening game draw with the United States and
tries to put a positive spin on it.

Yossi Benayoun has surprised me since joining Arsenal on loan last summer.
I've always believed that he was a very good player, an Arsenal player in the wrong shirt really,
but what I have been impressed with most of all is his fantastic attitude.
He hasn't spent as much time on the pitch as he would have liked but, when he does play, he always
give 110% to the cause.
I see you've caught me introducing an interview I did with Manchester United's official website.
These are some of my words floating next to my head, but you're probably too distracted by my
widow's peak and my intoxicating, Simon Cowell-like scent to see them. ...

This was Prandelli's chosen platform. No more leaving someone out of the squad because of a
personal grudge. No more leaving someone out because they weren't currently playing in Italy.
Welsh Rugby star Gavin Henson who has admitted using fake tan spray since he
was 15 years old has been snubbed by a fake tan company for looking more like an
Ooompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory than a beached tanned
hunk.
Fake Bake preferred the natural glow of David Beckham, Simon Cowell and Brad Pitt, rather than
the Oompa Loompa glow from the Rugby star.

The instrument originates from Mexico and South America...where such noise making instruments are

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell is very accommodating when it comes to signing
autographs.
Britain's Got Talent tickets for the upcoming tour of the UK and Ireland are
currently trading below the face value price of £35. Acrobatic group Spelbound were announced as
the winners of the competition this week, and now fans have the chance to catch them and all the
other finalists as they tour the biggest venues across the UK and Ireland.
Liverpool's first signing of the close season could be a Vietnamese reality TV show winner.
The winner of talent show Vietnam Soccer Prince will be awarded a 12-month contract at Anfield
following next week's final.
The show is made by the production company that makes Britain's Got Talent - and features
ex-Wycombe and Northampton midfielder Steve Brown as the program's Simon Cowell.
Just when it seemed nobody was taking this year's World Cup seriously, along comes an excellent
article on why US "soccer" fans should hate England. It's from an American writer who has rekindled
my admiration for the birthplace of Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen, Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and
Bill Hicks.
