Music Of The World Cup: Allez! Ola! Ole!

This collection was compiled for World Cup - France 1998. Most of the tracks are Latin-based rhythms, but a good collection none the less. All the tunes are upbeat, except for the melancholy Scottish piece, which is understandable given the Blues World Cup results. Nice touch to add the country of origin on the CD booklet. This is much more enjoyable than the CD done for WC USA 1994 "Soccer Rocks the Globe." Good CD for soccer practice or the bus ride to the game.

Great album! Brings back the old football days 😊

Even my friends who don't like futbol like this CD....Its lively and fun and has some great variety. Only 1 or 2 songs that make you wonder why they're with the rest. Don't be fooled into thinking this CD is Ricky... he's only one song...Most of the other songs are even better than Ricky Martin's -because we're listening to the music, not looking at him. The African songs are especially good. There's even some humour (Hot Legs). If you don't like it at first - give it a few listens... it'll grow on you soon enough. Can't wait to see what they put together for 2002!

this cd is excellent, i like yousuf's song, "do you mind if i play" the most, i really love it and can't seem to get enough. r.martin is pretty cool too, all the songs in this cd are diffrent and yet relate to soccer, so if you like soccer, this cd is for you, and even if you don't like soccer, if you appreciate good music, listen to this cd.

overall, i think that this cd is incredible. ricky did a great just with his track and throughout the album there are a lot of really good songs. as with any cd, there will be some great songs and some weak songs. this is the case. i do, however, strongly recommend it. the good songs are worth putting up with the bad ones.
