3. Un Estate Italiana by Edoardo Bennato & Gianna Nannini (Italy 1990)

The 1990 Italy World Cup song may be the most successful theme song so far in that football fans still take delight in talking about and singing it. This song has several versions. The English version, which is called "To Be Number One," includes a studio version that adopts a traditional style and a live version that has an intense yet appealing rock rhythm. Both versions are worth appreciating.
