yeah it was awesome. they should have used it, especially as it ends with Gary and co, they could have panned in and faded to the studio at the start of the show.

You know that BBC Radio Five Live advert?

Look at all the players featured in it...


David Beckham; Luis Figo; Thierry Henry; Raul....

And isn't it ironic how each one of them has failed to live-up to their over-the-top expectations! ;)


I can't understand why Zidane isn't there, though...
Then again, he's only gone and had a great tournament anyway! ;D

Aye, usually, the music on the intros is somthing which is native to the host country which makes it special...really lost the plot with thier choice of music.

I think, as Ashley said, that the "Masters Of Football" art one was great, very atmospheric and all, makes me wonder why BBC just didn't use that as their standard intro.
