blackNwhites Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I liked it when chile's changed the timing towards the end. South American fans are so different to European fans though. Squealing everytime their teams make a chance, I mean c'mon, sort yourselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'll probably get hammered for this BUT..............The Flower Of Scotland sounds incredible when they're in full voice in a full stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 It really is embarrassing watching the England players' pathetic attempt at singing the anthem. Show some passion you boring tossers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Love Scotland, Wales, France and Italy's national anthems. England's is absolutely awful. I'm not religious and I don't see the point in the monarchy. There is nothing to get excited about when I hear it. I actually quite like America's too. Love the bit at the end, so passionate.

Maybe they would if it wasn't surge a turgid national anthem. I would never sing it and am anything but proud to be English nowadays. What exactly do we have to be proud of and passionate about?

I was thinking about this today. Forgetting the words for the moment, the tune is famously boring. But listening to the Brazil and Chile anthems, they're just a cacophony of noise. At least you can pick the tune out from the British anthem, and hum along to it. Maybe it's just that I don't recognise and am unfamiliar with those anthems, but they sound like an awful mess, like they kind of missed the point, the difference between a good patriotic song and a good anthem.

EssendonRam Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 God Save The Queen is a terribly boring anthem. And has the same tune as God Save the Kaiser (German WW1 national anthem) I learned recently. On that note, what an opportunity lost yesterday. With more forethought, FIFA could have scheduled Bosnia - Herzegovina to play yesterday. In the absence of Austria, maybe against Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if you hear New Zealand's ( last World Cup ok) God Save New Zealand...absolutely marvellous. Reason to invade right there...to get a decent national anthem. As for others, I too love The Star-Spangled Banner . South Africa has a terrific national anthem as well. And seem to recall Canada's is pretty good too. But nothing beats La Marseillaise for majesty. Just don't listen to the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps removing any religious referenceand mentions of a monarch would help. And rearranging the notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I gather England sang "Land of Hope & Glory" during the mid 1970's at the insistence of Don Revie - leaving aside the negative connotations of bring associated with such a money grabbing cheat, would folk prefer that over GSTQ? Anthems I like - Argentina's is incredible. To be fair, the Latin anthems are generally pretty good - Brazil, Uruguay & Italy in particular. And South Africa's is pretty good also (granted not at this World Cup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 England's would actually go down in world's worst five anthems - I'm sure of that. It's such a rubbish tune, with rubbish lyrics and an awful sound in general. No wonder nobody sings it, I certainly wouldn't if I was a footballer.

And South Africa's is pretty good also (granted not at this World Cup) If we had an anthem that celebrated the good stuff about this country, I could but into it. Too many anthems are too martial and too triumphalist. Flower of Scotland celebrates battles 600 years ago, relevant only because it was against the English (as if mediaeval disputes amongst warring families somehow speak for Scotland in the 21st century). Likewise god save the queen. So many people don't believe in God, many don't believe a monarch is right. It's outdated, anachronistic. I won't have it in the house.
