Perico to Write New Socceroos Song

Brunswick rockers Perico have been asked to write a new World Cup theme song in light of the Socceroos progression to the second round this morning.

Pin-up boy and guitarist Richo confirmed that the expression "We are Australians, in the stadiums" will not appear in the song, to be penned over the weekend.

Perico blog reporter, Brunswick drinker and Italian football fan, Damario Wildo, was scathing of the project, given his belief that the Australians will crash badly against the might of his favourite team.

"You wouldn't hear us Italians trying to make such dodgy rhymes as that, would you? If Perico write a song they should at least recognise that the plural of stadium is stadia."
