Embrace have been confirmed to sing England�s 2006 World Cup anthem.
The Huddersfield warblers will record the track �World At Your Feet� for the Summer tournament.
An ecstatic Danny McNamara said: �The band can�t wait to get into the studio and record the track.
�We think we�ve got a really good song and hope it will repeat the success of previous songs such as New Order�s �World In Motion.��
Other names that were circling round to record the anthem were Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs and the Arctic Monkeys.
Football Association marketing manager Tom Harold said: �The official England World Cup song has become something of an institution and it is really important that we have an original and exciting track.� (Surely you�ve got the wrong band mate?)
�We�re confident that Embrace�s song will capture the imagination of the fans and players alike.
�With only 75 days to go until England�s first game against Paraguay everybody has beeen asking who will get the gig.
�We�d like to think we�ve pulled off something of a coup by bagging such a great band and keeping it secret� until now.�
