1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, June 9, 2006

This is just an album of "Best of now and then with some unreleased songs"!! The World Cup official album used to feature singers all over the world to sing soccer-related theme songs for their countries; now it's all gone!
No offense to Kelly Clarkson's fans; but how do you think "Because of You" is a soccer-related song? "Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt"? That's nonsense.
If you check out the import version, you will actually find the album in 2 Discs - with more old hit songs.
The record company obviously just wanted to reach to wide range of soccer fans by naming it the "World Cup official album", and include some of your favorite singers, whether you like Shakira or Elvis Presley.
I would rather just pay and download the official song and the anthem.

This is just more proof that music labels are completely out of touch with the world around them. None of these songs should ever be played at a football/soccer match - let alone on a compliation for the World Cup.

It's bad from the start and keeps getting worse. It's clearly obvious that Sony is just trying to cash in and with their horrible PR misteps lately (not to mention the train wreck that is the PS3) it's clear Sony's time is almost up.

Avoid this album (and Sony, if you can) like the plague.

Disappointing selection of songs. Where is L.Pavoratti's rendition, during FIFA a few years back, NESSUM DORMA! It was incredible and belongs in this CD.

CD should include songs from previous FIFA Championships - that made the people STAND UP and SING!
