The Lyrics

There are only three things you need to know to enjoy this parody. England's only victory in the (Soccer) World Cup came as far back as in 1966 (and on home soil). They haven't beaten Sweden in any kind of qualifying or championship match since 1968. Tonight we're once again gonna spank their asses red, white & boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-blue.
It's been forty years since '66
When ol' British Soccer had some kicks
They've been failing every single cup
And they're always ready for a flop
So let my disabuse imbue
Their Sucker Team to loose this year
David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang

They're David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang
They're moving up the ball to slow
David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang
Sit back and watch the field's grass grow
David Beckham's British
David Beckham's British
David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang

A wonder that they are here
They're really not Brazil
And what a lowbrow audience
Too think the World Cup is for them
Too think the World Cup's theirs

As tradition bids they'll come to blow
And the manager is way too slow
And the keeper barely scrapes along
And you know that something will go wrong
And then it'll be protrude and rude
The one and only British game
From David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang

Make that 4 things: Knowing TOS, which I do. Nice job, and "Sucker Team" was a clever pun. Let me know how the game turns out!

The game ended 2-2 and the 38 year old tradition lives on. :-)

gee, I don't recall the result - too busy cheering the Aussies on against Brazil - 2-0 - an honourable defeat - would've been more so but for the agenda-driven ref - great stuff Peter - kick those British bums whenever you get the chance - 555

Ironic, isn't it, given that the former England Team Manager (Sven Goran Ericsson) was Swedish.....
