England announced World Cup squad with Beatles-inspired video
Credit: England It’s not just NFL teams that have something to strive for on social media this month. With the World Cup just a few weeks away, national teams are releasing their squads for the tournament with similarly dramatic announcements. Norway literally got their king to announce the squad.
Brazil did it the old-fashioned way by announcing it on live television with no reports or leaks ahead of time. Apparently, both Shams and Adam Schefter were busy. But it’s no surprise that the best World Cup announcement video is where it all began.
That honor is coming home to England, whose team is looking for just their second-ever World Cup win on the 60th anniversary of their 1966 triumph. And what better theme to announce the squad with than the thing that is the most quintessentially English thing that has ever existed? No, it’s not Halo, leave that to the Chargers .
It’s the Beatles. It is appropriately set to the soundtrack of “Come Together,” while some of the graphics throughout the reveal video look straight out of “Yellow Submarine. ” Come Together.
