Nothing better than hearing the anthem before a game. Get the blood pumping. The Russian one is pretty damn good too.1
-
It is a bit of a dirge but it's ours, it's part of our history so I like it.0
-
The bit about "treacherous scots" is pretty outrageous for it to be a UK national anthem1
-
Half of the people on here sing 'der der der der since I was young' bullshit every week, get off your high horses2
-
And it has the brilliant "der, der, der, der" bit before "Send her victorious" that people only sing at England football matchesRob said:It is a bit of a dirge but it's ours, it's part of our history so I like it.

I can't believe no one has suggested "There be blue birds over , the white cliffs of Dover, tomotrrow just you wait and C, H, A....R, L T Charlton Athletic are the team for me....Or Agadoo1

It's not one of my favourite tunes.0

What about "Lip up fatty ah lip up fatty, fatty reggae"?6

At least it would get my toes tapping.0

Would love to see it changed.0

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s Wembley's green?
And was the pint held in my hand
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the German defense divide
As we won in extra time
And was football not invented here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built a winning team
In England’s green and pleasant land.

So by using your "logic" it did the job and inspired the team yesterday then? And at the 1966 World Cup?sillav nitram said:
I don't think it does, do the job, considering England's appalling record in major tournaments!Off_it said:I love our National Anthem.
It's ours and I don't care in the slightest what other countries anthems are like.
It does the job and it ain't changing any time soon, thankfully.
if anything it does the complete opposite.
Of course, that's bollocks - but you started it!2 -

yesterday's result was a rare success for england in tournament football.

I love it personally & fortunately I've been lucky enough to watch England in a few past world cups & euros when the atmosphere is another level. When it gets belted out towards the end of a game & England fans have usually managed to completely take over the ground it gives you goosebumps0

You started off the bizarre notion that the National Anthem is somehow responsible for the England football teams failure at international tournaments.sillav nitram said:

I am merely pointing out that if that is true then surely the equal is true - every time they win a game/tournament it's because of the anthem. It's the same song since 1966 after all, no matter how much time has passed.
Of course, it's bollocks - but as I said, you raised it in the first place!3 -
my original post and still my point, our national anthem, is dreadful.Off_it said:

the england football team, as everyone knows has failed to deliver at major tournaments consistently and in the main, been an embarrassment, considering the players we've had at our disposal over the years.
for me I see no success in winning friendlies or gaining qualification to major tournaments, if they get knocked out at the group stage.
let's hope this tournament will be different but I'm not holding my breath.0 -
It's not the best sounding but it's ours and for that reason I love it.
At Wembley is usually pathetic but 20,000 proud Englishman belting it out in Lens on Thur gave me goosebumps at times, esp after our equaliser.0 -
Looking forward to you resurrecting this thread again at the next tournament, as you seem to do every few years for some strange reason.sillav nitram said:

When England play we should be singing Jerusalem. No question. The Welsh and Scottish have proud national anthems of their own so why not England ? The reason is that those that could make the decision to change are afraid it would be seen as some sort of snub to the queen so we're stuck with singing a dirge about a woman when we should be celebrating the nation. FACT ;9)2

Mt favourite versions of G S T Q are by Jimi Hendrix (ripped off by Queens' queenman May) and by the Doors at the very start of the wonderful 'L A Woman'0

What the fuck it's got to do with maths now is anyone's guess.
PS. I see the rugby boys were inspired by the Anthem earlier today. Great tune.0 -
