cue National Anthem
"God save the Queen,God save our gracious Queen,Long live our noble Queen,God save the Queen!Send her victorious,Happy and Glorious,Long to reign over us;God save the Queen!"

Not many(if any) can sing their national anthem with as much heart as we can.
British Anthem

Or just as good. Rule Britannia

Im sure you all know the words.

Meh, our anthem is a lot better than that. A question: do you change the anthem every time there's a new regent? Like, if it's a man you change it to "God save the king"?

:p

We dont have an offical national anthem, but its either God Save the King or God Save the Queen, both of which IMHO are the best national anthems ever :D :)
Your looking at the local patriot :). Still Rule Britannia is a good song. Still the last lines in V5 are funny "Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the King!". No wonder Aldo is going for Brazil. Still Brazils defence looks shaky somewhat, not as good as usual.

Edmilson, Lucio, Roque Junior...not a bad lot taken by themselves but put in a back 3............

Actually, as a Scot, i normally go for England opponents on principle (an sheer antagonism) ;7.  but I desperately want Brazil to win the cup, anyway, cos they are by far the best team to watch.

Re: National Anthems

Althought I do like the british national anthem it has two problems:
1) No-one knows the words
2) It sounds like **** compared to Hendrix rendition of Americas anthem

I'll admit that I'm not of of Hendrix's biggest fans, in fact, the only song of his I really like is "All Along the Watchtower" (That song rocks! :D ) but his rendition of the national anthem is pretty cool just on the concept alone. I mean, c'mon, how many national anthems are you gonna hear played on electric guitars? :D ;7

I'm just glad that USA stayed in the World Cup longer than Argentina! Has that even happened before?

I can't imagine that Mexico is feeling too happy now either about losing to the States....

And I'm also glad to see that England is still in and Argentina is out. Uh oh, I gotta be careful what I say in here... :nervous:

Ah,well, nothing like a little friendly competition to inflame old national grudges! :ha: ;)

:yes:

Even when sung at 4 different stands who are completely out-of-synch. :D

Shocker for Italy, though...but they brought it on theirselves (how embarrassed is Vieri after that sitter, though?)
