He picked it instead of France 98 hit Vindaloo. I was going to play Vindaloo, but went with my gut, he said as he decided to play Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. Even the German fans were belting it out in the end. Its a song that all fans can enjoy. Where it began, I can't begin to knowing  But then I know it's growing strong  Was in the spring  And spring became the summer  Who'd have believed you'd come along  Hands, touching hands  Reaching out, touching me, touching you  Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good  I've been inclined  To believe they never would  But now I  Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely  We filled it up with only two  And when I hurt  Hurting runs off my shoulders  How can I hurt when holding you  One, touching one  Reaching out, touching me, touching you  Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good  I've been inclined  To believe they never would  Oh no, no  Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good  Sweet Caroline  I believe they never could  Sweet Caroline  Good times never seemed so good
