Jazz , Rock , Rap , Popular, Classic... Regardless of style and type, whether old songs or new songs, this year, FIFA requires 32 World Cup participating teams to submit up to two "goal music" for the first time, so that the team can play as background music when the team scores. Among the 43 goals scored music submitted by each team, some teams chose local divine songs that show national characteristics, while others chose classic works sung by other national anthems. Music plays an increasingly important role in the World Cup, and people realize that the two functions are so similar - connecting the entire world together.
"I'm from Australia, where men drink like water..." " Kangaroo Legion " In the last round of the group stage, Leki's goal broke the deadlock on the court. While winning the team's chance to qualify, a divine song "DownUnder" known as the second national anthem sounded in the court. This is an old song released by the Australian rock band "MenatWork" in the 1980s, and it is popular because of its bright and brainwashing rhythm. The song depicts an Australian man traveling around the world, enthusiastically introducing his country to others - for example, there is a special snack called "Vegemite Sandwich", such as "There are women as beautiful as flowers, and men are healthy and strong." The song title of this song is slang, which means "in Australia/in New Zealand /in Australia". The lyrics also contain a lot of Australian English slang. While popularizing Australian culture to the world, it also reminds the compatriots of that year that year that due to excessive Americanization, Australia's national identity is dying. Perhaps it is precisely because of this profound meaning that this song has become a melody that embodies the national identity of Australia. It was sung on multiple occasions such as the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympics. In this World Cup, the Australian team, who entered the top 16, made the song play four times on the stadium.
Australia lost 1-2 to Argentina and stopped in the top 16
The most played goal song in a single game in the Qatar World Cup was "My Night" sung by Spanish pop star Miguel Rafael. In the first round of the Group E group stage, Spain defeated Costa Rica with a big score of 7-0. This lyrical old song released in 1967 was also resounded throughout the audience seven times. Raphael, 79, is one of the most outstanding artists in the Spanish music scene. The classic songs that have been sung to this day have also made him a timeless folk singer.
goals music also contains trendy elements such as rap and K-pop. Ghanaian Sarkodi is one of the most successful African rappers. His rap song "Oofeets" created in 2019 became the goal music selected by Ghana this time. The Korean team chose the hit song "Idol" released by BTS in 2019. This song combines K-pop with the rhythm of South African dance music, and sings the personality and attitude of "I never change, nor compromise" under a strong rhythm.
"Samba Legion"'s goal music is naturally related to Samba . "Esquentandoo Couro" is a samba music without lyrics. The literal translation of the song "burning leather" is a craft for making samba drums. The song was created by an old school samba and it really matched the passionate and unrestrained Brazilian team. "Music and dance are our genes and one of our traits." Coach Tit said that the Brazilian team focuses on the sense of ritual after the goal. "No matter where we are, we will naturally celebrate with music and dance. This does not mean that we do not respect our opponents. Just like we respect the culture of other countries, please respect our culture."

Some teams use goal songs to show their national character, while some teams choose works of other national anthemists to express their attitude towards football. The goal music of the French team is the song "Song2" written by the old British rock band Fuzzy in 1997. As the lyrics say, "When heavy metal music sounds, I will scream wildly." The instant of the goal is indeed a time worth screaming.The Wales team chose the single "Kernkraft 400" created by German electronic singer Zombie Nation. As one of the most popular sports songs, this song has been widely used in events such as rugby , baseball , etc. The German team chose "When WeStandTogether" by the Canadian Five-Cent Band (Nickelback).
Music is national and worldly. "Freed From Desire" by Italian pop singer Gala Rizato is undoubtedly one of the most popular football songs in the world. At this World Cup, England, Poland and Switzerland all chose it. The beginning of the song is a heart-wrenching force - "My lover has no money, but he has firm beliefs", which expresses the voices of many people on the green field, running non-stop for football. The song has been used by European football clubs since its release in 1996. Gala himself also supports the use of this song as a sports song. "Music and sports bring together people from different backgrounds and countries. No matter where the rich and poor, no matter where they come from, they may fall in love with the same song and fall in love with the same detachment."
