Akon is in discussions to record the official song of the 2010 soccer World Cup.

“I’m going to South Africa for a meeting about the 2010 World Cup. I’m the official music coordinator. It means I’ll produce the official World Cup song and I’ll oversee all the official music,” the R&B singer revealed in an interview with The London Paper this week.

But the “I Wanna Love You” star says he won’t be enlisting the help of any soccer players in putting together lyrics.

“If David Beckham said he wanted to contribute musically, I’d advise him not to. He’d definitely be better off playing. It doesn’t work when athletes try to become musicians.”

    A good song, but there are others that are better.

    I saw this one this morning which I really like.

    Cliff Portwood and members of the 1966 World cup squad sing it.

    What a great tune and singalong chorus.

    Looks like a real supporters song to me.

    not a fan so much of the theme song, just hope that Ladysmith sings the SA national anthem – regardless of where they are broadcasting from

    I know I’m a little late in adding my thoughts but this particular article made a lot of sense to me and I enjoyed it. It was an intriguing piece. I have become a returning reader of your site since I came across your site a while back. I can’t say that I agree with everything you stated but it was definitely enlightening ! I run a small establishment that secures funding for businesses in the Houston market. You could say I focus in Houston Commercial Financing and deal with folks that banks don’t lend to anymore. I’m helping to create American jobs so I hope you’ll permit me including my link in this post. I’m always seeking to advertise our truly unique service and am the sort who still believes America keeps improving in spite of our current difficulties. I’m not sure if my other post went through so I’m attempting again. Thank you again for an absorbing blog post. I will return again soon.
