Ask any official in the 2008 EURO Championships, and he'll tell you that the official song for Europe's biggest football (that's our soccer, kids) tournament is "Can You Hear Me" by Enrique Iglesias. The fans seem to have something different in mind.
Videos like this are why I LOVE European soccer fans:
Sadly that was the best video of the phenomenon I could find. Apparently "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes has become the de facto song for all EURO 2008 games (as well as the qualifying matches). Sure the song's 5 years old now, but when the alternative is Enrique? Look, I'll admit to owning a couple of his songs, but not exactly what I'd consider good pregame music for one of the most insane sports phenomena the world has seen.
