    I take it you mean World in Union. Wikipedia has information on composition and the different versions from the last world cups. Can't go posting download links though, but it is indeed epic.

    I dont think its World in Union, i think he means the music when they walk out on the pitch and there is a Maori guy blowing a horn. It is pretty awesome. I cant help you though :(

    World in Union is fantastic as well :D

    Gustav Holst composed it. It is from the Planets Suite and it is the planet Jupiter.

    Someone obviously wrote lyrics for it but the underlying music is Holst.

    Its called "I Vow to Thee My Country"
    A patriotic British song written at the end of WWI.
    Played a Princess Diana's wedding and I think her funeral too.
