This song is citing the Wavin' Flag motif almost unaltered. It's brand building at its best: "don't take any risk by changing too much. The customers most certainly won't even notice it."

That motif is Coca Colas isn't it? K'naan seamlessly integrated it into waving flag somehow.

You're right, it is in fact the coca cola jingle, I didn't know that. It's interesting to see how they are spreading this tune in any possible way.

Honestly just hearing Ian Darke's call gives me chills. What a moment.

I cant imagine how amazing that would feel to see that ball there and all you have to do is kick it and win your country a world cup match.

It was ridiculous how good Forlan was in the 2010 WC. He was like the only player at the tournament who really mastered how that godawful ball worked. Then he got terrible and moved to Brazil, rip. It's like he put all the effort he had left for his entire career into being good for South Africa.

The best thing about Forlan is that Fergie had no idea how to use him and almost ruined his career.

That is literally what he did. Trained himself into the ground for his country.

What do you mean?

Forlan is a striker. Ferguson played him as a striker. He just missed like a million easy chances in his early United games and his confidence went and never came back. It's a shame how bad he was because he was really popular with the fans and everyone at the club seemed to love him.

Cause he worked really hard whenever he played, and he scored a double against the scousers to help us to the title

His workrate was always great, he was the anti-jozy

I've come back around to liking him after a period of thinking he's a tool.

I still think he's a tool, to be fair, but he's pretty great.
