Exactly. The song is fantastic... Most of classical anthems are the best. Remember 2 become 1 by Spice Girls? Zombie by The Cranberries and Quit Playin' Games with My Heart by BSB. No matter how they try to come out with new tunes, it just not as impacted as its predecessor
It was famous even in a remote village in Kerala, India. I personally consider this as the football anthem forever ! Even waka waka is secondary for me. Thank you Ricky Martin for giving this Gem! Never expected so much likes! glad to know that so many of you share the same opinion 🙂.
I was 1 when this released. The warmth this song had spread went on even longer. Even without having the world on our fingertips back then. To date, I pour all my heart into singing that chorus whenever it plays, from 5 till I’m now 25! Hands down the most iconic World Cup song ever, the entire team did a fantastic job!
I just a little child when I first heard this song, probably in nursery class at school. It was 2002, the year the World Cup was held in South Korea and Japan. I remember hearing it on BTV, our national television channel, during a World Cup magazine show in the afternoons. The song played in the background, and even as a child, it stuck with me. Back then, I became a little supporter of Argentina, while my cousins, who were around my age, cheered for Brazil. We’d often tease each other about our teams, and that year, Brazil won the World Cup. But my heart stayed with Argentina. Now, whenever I hear that song, it takes me back to those childhood days. I can almost feel the excitement of the World Cup, the playful arguments with my cousins, and the innocence of that time. It’s a nostalgic memory, simple yet deeply emotional, like a warm hug from the past. Listening to it feels like reliving a piece of my childhood, a moment frozen in time.
Back then.. Everyone knows this song... Even little children sing along.. my late grandpa used to sing it too even for only the chorrus ..it's one of many songs that never be forgotten
No social media, no smartphones. Just good vibesss, the whole world dancing and celebrating. Oohhh what a time it was!! Im so lucky to have experienced it!! 1998!!! Beautiful year!!
this song is the ultimate musical representation of what football is about. i was 10 when this came out- and no other wc song ever surpassed the vibe it gives. ALE ALE ALE!🎉
I remember my father driving me to school in the morning during the late 90s when this song came on. It was the only song he ever TRULY LOVED during our drives. I miss my father so much. RIP DADDY 🙏 💙💙💙

As a diehard Albiceleste fan, I listened to this song all day before the 2022 FIFA World Cup final. Somehow, I believed that this World Cup was written in the stars for Messi and Argentina. We finally made it, ending 36 years of heartbreak and giving GOAT Messi the glory he so richly deserved after those agonizing back-to-back-to-back final defeats. ⭐⭐⭐
