i don't think they would've come up with a better chorus which is the most important part. The verses are a bit clunky

Who the hell is that guy who said it anyway? He must be to the Stereophonics what Wayne Murray is to the Manics.

I've only heard the song once when they very obligingly performed on The One Show just as I was tuning in for Eastenders. My sporting interest starts and stops at Wimbledon & the swimming at the Olympics. I love the band I do but James is infamous for not always being decipherable....problematic with an anthem....I remember the c'mon Wales line so they've probly cracked it.

This is the worst Manics single in their entire career.
Trite, nonsensical lyrics. And a half decent backing ruined by old sports reports that are utterly meaningless to near enough every non Welsh person. EVERYTHING MUST GOAL!
