World Cup 2014 Official Song: Missing the Latin Flavor?

AM I THE ONLY ONE?

I do love Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez, but I am a little disappointed about this year's World Cup 2014 song. It's missing a little bit of salt and pepper. It's missing the Latin flavor, the passion that makes us want to get up from our chairs and start dancing. 

Usually, the song is suppose to excite us as much as if we were the players! I miss that special touch such as Ricky Martin in 1998 with "La Copa de la Vida" or how about Shakira in 2010 with "Waka Waka". 

Don't take me wrong. I'm not saying that it is a terrible song, but it could have been much better with such great singers such as Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte. It just not a "catchy" song. 

It does nothing to incorporate Brazilian culture and one more thing, why almost the entire song in English?  I hope that on June 12, 2014, seeing the players will kick off our "adrenaline" and makes us want to get up from our chairs and dance once more time, feeling the passion that we get every four years with the amazing FIFA World Cup!

Did I mention that I am a super, super fan of the World Cup? Well, I think by now you already figured that out....

May the best win! Que gane el mejor!
