alex rigby This song remembers me all the victories of France football team (1998,2000,2018) and when you hear this song, your mind goes to the best French football player in the world, Zinédine Zidane.
I was 9/10 when it was the World Cup and it’s the only one that sticks in my head thanks to this song! Fly high Dario G! Thanks for some great memories x
Ricky Martin 98, Celebrate the Day 06, Waka Waka 10 enter the chat. This still tops, but I still feel this is not much of a football song, it's culture song. A French song. It's greater than football song, it's more of traditional french kind of song. The name itself Carnaval de Paris and involve heavy accordion use. If people unsee the videos and just listen to the pure song, you may thought this isn't a football song.
R.I.P Paul, at school we were best mates for a time. I heard you playing the piano at school and I was in awe. I knew then that music was your destiny. Y.N.W.A
Such a masterpiece when u realise how he integrated so many instruments of so many countries into this song, showing indeed how international this track is, the best song of world cups indeed.
RIP Paul. As so many have said, the ultimate World Cup theme. and even as an Englishman, the bagpipes are great. It captures what a World Cup should be... A Carnival
RIP Paul, you will be missed, but your music will always live on.😢 as a proud Scotsman I always loved this track, the part where the drums and bagpipes kick in always makes me smile. Epic track, from beginning to end.
RIP Paul! Without a shadow of a doubt, you created one of the best football anthems of all time! This masterpiece will last generations of football tournaments. You've left your mark on the world stage of football. God speed and thank you.
Dario G is a genius. He took one main football melody, and put everything tipical for any countries, to let you recognize all. No one after him, was able to do this. That's why this athem is the biggest in football history ever.
24 years on from hearing, I still get goosebumps listening to this electrfying piece of brilliance!! No lyrics, , no suggestive themes, no frivolous dancing. Just a primal expression of love for the greatest ever sport!!
Its like a time machine. If you close your eyes you are back in summer 1998 with panini football cards, zidane shirt, capri sun, face full with dirt and playing football with your friends.
The hairs on my neck still go up when the bagpipes starts to play LOVE this tune so much, I miss those days. The last time we (Scotland) ever qualified
For me it remains the only World Cup song that captures the idea of the WORLD cup.. and darn if those bagpipes don't still give me goose bumps after all these years! Not a football fan but I love this song.
This is what the world needs now. Togetherness, inclusiveness, positivity and love not social segregation forces upon us by the media, the government, political movements and a pandemic. The government have so much to answer for. 1998 the world was a much more beautiful place and one of the greatest world Cup tournaments of all time
Aw i was 18 when this tune was out! Was one the few times that my country qualified to play in the games! I'm a Scot, so the part with the bagpipes filled me with emotion and pride, still does! Absolute masterpiece of a workd cup anthem!!
i cant describe the feelings when i hear this song. takes me back to good childhood days, when life was simple. my first world cup and this banger. thanks dario g. your legacy is immortal.
yeah me too! I'm Scottish and i used to go crazy at that part! best world cup tune ever! x and one of the few that scotland actually qualified for! godwilling we'll see a world cup again one day! xx
This song is always played for the winnners of stock car races at the Racewall. It is a legendary track for so many people across many countries and many sports, and The Football anthem. RIP Paul. Thankyou.
R.I.P. Paul what an amazing tune to leave behind still sung by thousands of football fans around the World to this day. May you rest in peace good Sir and may your family & friends find comfort in the fact, that you will meet again one day. 🙏🏼 💕💞 💖💫
Warms my heart to see the kids with the counties flags painted on them enjoying playing football together and of course this awesome anthem of the World Cup.
What an epic, brilliant song - made for eternity! It was an instant classic back then and even 26 years later you feel like you're back in the mood and atmosphere of the summer of 1998. Simply great, magnficient!
Although im still a bit in awe how we get a solid bit of the song. Being that we hardly ever do very well in the world cup. Nobody ever seems tp hate Scotland and i love it
Literally three days ago I played this masterpiece of a song to my eleven year old son. The little one enjoyed it. What nostalgia, I was 18 years old when this happened in the summer of 98"…favorite part Scotland 🏴 RIP😔
Quite simply the Greatest football songs of all time even though it wasn't the offical song for world cup 1998. Absolutely sublime and utterly genius. 26 years later and it is still unstoppable.

Like the Battlefield music;))
Agreed, it should be the goal song
Rest in Peace Paul - thanks for the soundtrack to our lives.
Since 1998 till today, this is one of if not THE BEST world Cup themes of all time. Timeless magic and without lyrics. Wonderful.
The best soccer theme song ever made!!!
France '98 was great episode to me.
I was 10y theme hehe
Regards from PL
WAKA WAKA......
Yes, surely the one with waving flag (perhaps more) that makes you the most hyped to watch or play a soccer match
France 98 was the last Best World cup. Last Best Music, songs, stadiums ambiences, jerseys, playera, tv briascasts , etc
And the band was English and not French or Italian as the band name suggests. Quite simply the Greatest footy song ever created.
Scotland’s entrance will never not be epic in this song and video. Still makes a Scotsman proud to this day. R.I.P Paul
I'm English and I second this - it's such a proud sound ❤
The Scottish bagpipes raise the hairs on me everytime I hear it! A true masterpiece of a footie anthem.
and just like the germany game, at euro 2024, we get a red card! hahah typical :D
I'm Irish and partied with Scottish lads on the champs Elysee summer 98

I was 9/10 when it was the World Cup and it’s the only one that sticks in my head thanks to this song! Fly high Dario G! Thanks for some great memories x
He's dead? 😱😥 I didn't know that!
The greatest football song ever made and I will hear no argument. World Cup '98 vibes.
When football was less monetarized Ronaldos Zidannes Batistutas Kanu Beckhams Good timess

That's why this made this the post important, and the biggest football song ever.
The only place bagpipes tyko drums synth piano and many more all blend into one carpet of sound
Chills comes when the bag pipes and drums popping in..and yes the ochestration and integration of so many different instruments is unqiue on its own.
The best world cup song of all time this will never be beaten

Same 😁 good luck guys !!
But as usual, Scotland get thrashed.
That's because if freedom could be a sound, it would be a bagpipes sound
I'm ⅛ Scottish and that part turns my hair ginger and my blood to Irn-Bru
RIP Dario. Thanks for this great song ❤
The GOAT world cup song.
Not only is it iconic and fun to listen to but it incorporates the music from each country that played at 1998
Sadly he passed away :(
