"We're on the Ball" by Ant and Dec was pretty popular during the World Cup last year and I could see it being in a porn.
 
 Are you looking for a song about a player or a song about a club team or a song about the national team?
 
 Glory, glory Man united!!!!
 
 DIEGO!!!! Waooo!!!! Diego!!!!  Waaaooo!!!
 
 KEAN-O  There's only KEANO!!!!
 
 Leeds is my favorite team, leeds is my favorite team, thank you for Cantona, thank you for Cantona...

"Here come the good times" by A House was covered by the Irish team for the 2002 World Cup - its a cracking song by a great band
 
 Of course my favorite footie song of all time is from 1988 when after Englands disastrous showing at the Euro Championships the following could be heard emanating from bars the length and breadth of Ireland
 
 Who put the ball in the English net
 Half of, half of
 Who put the ball in the English net
 Half of fucking Europe
 Half of fucking Europe
 Half of fucking Europe
 Who put the ball in the English net
 Half of fucking Europe   :D

If you want to hum something the fans would sing in the Terraces there's a couple.
 
 "You'll never walk alone" by Gerry and the Pacemakers...sang by the Liverpool fans
 
 "I'm forever blowing bubbles" by Michael Jackson   :D   ...actually no idea who actually sang it originally, but the West Ham United fans sing it.
 
 Those are probably the two most famous "fan songs" in England.
 
 Then there's always "land of hope and glory" which is sung in most footie stadiums, especially during European competitions.
 
 If it's an actual recording you're looking for then Markies suggestion of New Order is probably the best..."we're playing for England....ENGERRRLAND!"
 
 Of course there's always Arsenal's famous, "I'm nothing but a French *unt with a bunch of French *unts on the pitch" rendition.

Nowt like the luck of the Irish...  ;)  
 
 "The game itself has now entered near legendary status. After that match one anonymous fan said "We won when we should have lost" and it has now entered public conscious that we got lucky."
 
 I'd much rather lose to Ireland than Scotland though!

yeah as the saying goes we won a game we should have lost (England 1-0), drew a game we should have won (Russia 1-1 featuring Ronnie Whelans wonder goal from a Mick McCarthy throw in) and lost a game we should have drawn (Holland 1-0)
