Rating football TV intros: A thread 
Sky Sports 20/21 Premier League Intro:
Letâs kick this all off with Sky Sportsâ newest offering.
A far better upgrade on last seasonâs monstrosity, the vocal part at the end ensures that this intro has the potential to be labelled iconic in years to come.

UEFA Champions League intro:
Not too much has changed over time, with the anthem and design remaining similar throughout the years.
This intro has some serious presence doesnât it? The grandeur and splendour of the whole thing creates a real sense of occasion. Legendary

ITV England intro:
The soundtrack to pointless friendly matches and qualifiers against San Marino.
You can never go wrong with using The Verve, but perhaps this intro has had its time. After all, itâs been in use for over a decade now, needs freshening up.

BBC Match Of The Day Intro:
Itâs an absolute classic, known by every household in Britain.
Maybe a little too traditional and boring in comparison to more modern/exciting intros, but the tune makes the show, and is a true British staple which will live forever.

ITV Premiership Highlights intro:
You will either be unaware of this, or ready to prepare for a world of nostalgia.
Nobody wants prem highlights on ITV, but the boys in charge of the intro absolutely smashed it here. The song and the editing is simply sublime.

Sky Sports âWritten In The Starsâ PL intro:
Without a doubt the greatest football intro known to man.
Itâs iconic yet masterful. A true screenshot of the Premier Leagueâs golden era. A recollection of better times gone by, and we all bloody love it.

BT Sports 20/21 Premier League Intro:
Absolutely rubbish, do they even care?

Generic 06/07 Premier League Intro:
Not too bad, wouldnât say it competes with the best, but it will do.
A solid PL anthem, mixed with quality nostalgia, a tad bit bland for my liking though, it doesnât excite me.

Sky Sports âHigherâ PL Intro:
Not a bad choice of song, but a bit too try-hard.
While other intros effortlessly grace into awesomeness, this one falls slightly flat.

Sky Sports âClub Footâ PL intro:
Now this is better.
Club Foot just screams out football, and the Ford sequence fits in perfectly.
However, the CGI graphics look a little bit dated in 2021.

BBC World Cup 2010 intro:
Now itâs time for BBC and ITV to go head to head with some World Cup intros, starting with 2010.
This one is alright, you are left with the feeling though that they couldâve done better. Feels a bit rushed.

ITV World Cup 2010 intro:
I personally prefer this one.
Catchy tune, not exactly spellbinding but does the job. Both channels had to raise their game ahead of 2014 though.

BBC World Cup 2014 intro:
Now I like this one. Great vibe throughout the video.
Good song choice, it feels like Brazil and a sense of occasion. Rather smooth in its delivery as well

ITV World Cup 2018 intro:
I feel ITV and BBC were neck-and-neck with this one.
Once again ITV win with the catchiness, but the cinematography falls short in comparison. However, the end result is polished and highly appealing.

BBC World Cup 2018 intro:
I love this one. The music is bouncing and the features are plentiful.
Perhaps boosted by Englandâs successful tournament, and the belting summer of 2018. But looking back in a far bleaker world, the quality of this intro still remains.

ITV World Cup 2018 intro:
Theyâve ripped off âThe Greatest Showmanâ here.
Not terrible, but not very imaginative. Not exactly Russian either?
However, itâs pleasant enough, and it set the scene well for the tenseness and importance of an English WC semi-final.

Sky Sports new EFL Intro:
I donât like it. Seems a bit cheap and carelessly put together.
Who on earth are âNor Wichâ and âWat Fordâ anyway? Itâs poor and deserves a low rating.

Sky Sports old EFL Intro:
Now this is far better.
Great tune, great dramatic element. This is a league which needs an intro with more respect. And Sky got it bang on with the pomp and circumstance.
Imagine this before your side played a play-off match

And finally, the UEFA Europa League intro:
All stand for the official anthem of Man United!
The sound of disappointment, underperformance and Thursday nights. The song and intro ainât too bad, but it canât hold a candle to the Champions League version.
