Popworldcupjustice: Belgium vs America

BELGIUM V AMERICA

Guest referee: Indiana — Popstar

Belgium32 Theme tune to Familie

“Eesh. This theme tune is a remake of a James Blunt single, appar­ently. James Blunt!? Belgium, really? What a poor start. I wonder if they'll manage to turn it around…No actually Belgium are falling even further behind as they continue to play this strange tactic of using a James Blunt ballad instead of a jaunty jingle. They really have no hope to be honest.”

USA32 Theme tune to General Hospital

“And we're off! Good start by the Americans. A lot of promising technique. May have to steal that bass part for my next project. Some really nice atmo­spher­ics here too. But it's all about the saxophone! Every song would be complete with a bit of sax and the 'yanks' have really pulled out all the stops with this riff. Genius. It's all coming together so beau­ti­fully. They think it's all over (football reference) — and when they surprise everyone with a Windows 94 error noise — it is now. A clear win for America in my opinion. Word of advice, never do a James Blunt."

Indiana's full time score:

Belgium 0 — America 3
