The Football Association has announced that, for the first time since England won the World Cup 44 years ago in 1966, there will be no official song for South Africa 2010.
In a statement released to the BBC, an FA spokesperson said that England's management "want to be fully focused on the football".
The news will come as something of a relief considering the spate of awful England World Cup songs in recent years.
2006's damp squib came courtesy of Embrace's 'World At Your Feet' while Ant and Dec's 'We're On The Ball' in 2002 stooped to even lower depths.
It wasn't much better in 1998 when The Spice Girls' '(How Does It Feel To Be) On Top Of The World', penned by Ian McCulloch, was put forward as the official song.
In fact you have to go back to New Order's 'World In Motion' in 1990 to find a song worthy of the competition.
