I Gotta Feeling...







Although this wouldn't be my first choice for Portugal's World Cup anthem, I must admit I do think it will work. With its infectious beat and catchy lyrics, I easily see it catching on with all generations of the selecção faithful, and eventually developing a deeper meaning for all of us.

Now play the official video, and picture Ronaldo in our opening match unleashing a scud missile from 30 yards out, beating Ivory Coast's hapless keeper...

Portugal will open the tournament with a convincing victory over Ivory Coast, and then we'll do it again, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, and do it and do it, let's live it up!

  1. I actually hated this song just because i heard it all the time on the radio. It got over played. When i saw this video for the first time a while back i did exactly as you said. I imagined a Portugal game in the World cup and this song playing in the background, while our boys are celebrating after a miraculous goal. I must say the song means a little bit more to me now than i it did before.

  2. I wonder how much Portugal paid for that one!
