OK it's a trivial topic but is it me or are these titles by the BBC pretty lacklustre? Usually they do such a great job with their sports opening titles but this was pretty awful IMO: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27805493

Hopefully ITV have done better.

Agreed, not bad but not that great either.

My favourite was the BBC from France '98, Pavane by Faure:

The BBC one has Another Star, so it could be that Youtube clip of a monkey pissing into its own mouth and it wouldn't bother me.

Italia '90 is probably my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqzz7B7V2IE followed by South Africa 2010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJIswyuy4Jg

ITV's 2010 one was better than the BBC's imo.

I thought they were equally brilliant for a change (usually the BBC wipes ITV away but they stepped up in 2010). The 2006 ITV intro was pretty awful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVJL1QND-zQ

ITV need something as people don't expect anything good from them these days

BBC intro was very dull. Music was poor. Makes me yearn for ITV's Aztec Gold from Mexico 86.

Both BBC and ITV's intro's for the 1994 world cup were very good.

BBC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5KKu1_TIRM

ITV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS8ZIavd23E

Both bring back so many childhood memories!

My favourite was ITV's intro for France '98, including the Vauxhall bits.
