The standard of #1s is really becoming good now. A good choice for George Michael's best song. Sounds influenced by other atmospheric 80s ballads like Paul Young - Wherever I Lay My Hat and The Cars - Drive especially.

Maybe they think she is going too hard for critical acclaim. Going too deep when she was previously a lighter entertainment artist?

A bit unfair scoreline for Canada.

Only started watching it now lots of red in the crowd as both sets of fans wear the colour but I'd guess there were more Canada fans. Want Canada to have a few more chances.

I like her album cover reminds me of Leah McFall's iconic I Will Survive single cover!

Canada 0-2 Morocco Paraguay 0-1 France Brazil 2-0 Norway Mexico 2-0 England Portugal 1-3 Spain USA 2-0 Belgium Argentina 2-0 Egypt Switzerland 0-2 Colombia

Once In A Lifetime with Dimension was way better don't know why it wasn't a hit.

Want Belgium to somehow beat USA as they are the underdogs and also written off as being too old and past their best.

To put a stop to the Partey?! Seems the Colombians have a kind of home advantage like Argentina did - lots of fans in both matches.

Its like the Uruguay - Cape Verde match now!

Insane goal was like one of France's!

Thought this was the latest entry for King Rollo's 1986 number 1's rate thread for a moment there when I saw it on new comments! Good pop song indeed. Nice summery Spanish and synthpop production mix. She would explore Spanish influences moree in course in 1987. The chorus melody is strong, I found a comment online a while ago that said the chorus melody is very similar to Classix Nouveaux - Is It A Dream from 1982 and it is!

Dancing cafeteria! Good track!

Good, I don't like the way Australia deliberately went out to get a 0-0 draw in their last group match.

Very good and unique sounding Eurohit! It might have started the whole rap verses sung chorus Europop thing that was big during the 90s. Similarites also to Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok too in structure/style.

Anita Wards Ring My Bell was one of the most annoying number ones of the 1970s thanks to the incessant use of a syndrum. Thankfully that has been removed from Aitch’s RMB (Ring My Bell). It still isn’t great, but it is a good deal better than Ward’s version. It is a new entry at number 40. A new remix of Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm In Love next please?!

RMB is a good dance song with a good bassline.

Australia 1-2 Egypt Argentina 2-0 Cape Verde Colombia 3-1 Ghana

2010s festival progressive house indeed meeting a bit of 2000s eurotrance too fabulous.

Croatia werent great vs England but are playing better now.

Germanic countries nearly all out - I suppose Swiss are still in.

to Capital Buzz just? The song is very 80s sounding, and the lyrical themes and melody remind me of Loco in Acupulco by The Four Tops.
