Altogether now, you all know this one...

While watching the opening game of the World Cup last Friday, my partner Mel and I decided that Germany were having far too easy a time of it against Costa Rica, and that the game needed something extra by way of excitement.

So to that end, we invented a game of our own which I invite you all to join in on. It's called World Cup Songbook. It's very easy to play - all you have to do is think of a song title that uses the name of a player involved in this year's World Cup.

For example, in the opening game you could have had 'Frings Can Only Get Better' or that old Carpenter's hit 'Klose To You'...

There's plenty more where that came from, but don't let me hog the idea - why not come up with some of your own?!? :-)
