I don't follow soccer, so I had no idea who was mentioned in the song. Paid a visit to my friend Google.

You shouldn't have to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of one nations football history to understand a song, even if it isn't a very good one.
This is precisely what I love about the Manics, they inspire me to look stuff up, read more, learn about stuff I don't know. Fair enough if you don't like it, musically or lyrically, but you can't really complain on the grounds that it's obscure - the Manics are obscure!

PS. Another defeat to Sweden leaves Wales going into the tournament in dire form. Turns out they're not setting the world alight, can't beat any side or win any fight.

I predict that we never hear this song again after Saturday and ITV plays You Stole the Sun from My Heart after the Russia match.
We are top of the league Greetings from a red Toulouse Dancing Kirby.

How embarrassing for the Manics. They didn't even mention Vokes in their song.

I see the song on Amazon has climbed up to no.19 on the mp3 downloads and the CD version has gone back into the top 200. Imagine if the football team made it to the final and asked the Manics to performance live before the game? haha, that'd be cool.

Cheers! Great interview with Kinnock and a really nice version of the track. Funny how at first the squad list bit sounded like the part that would date it the quickest but is now a roll call of the most succesful Welsh squad ever.Shouting Hal Robson-Kanuuuuuuu has lost its sense of irony since that cryff turn

The song's in the top 75 on ITunes, yay. Maybe with the good sales on Amazon this week it'll be enough to get the single into the official top 100 singles chart for the first time haha. If Wales win tonight it might generate a few more sales.

Like all the best Manics songs, I started off hating it, and now the fucking thing's stuck in my head
