National Athems

[Benfleet A1]

Obviously our own one moves me but is there any others that make you feel as if you would want to adopt it.

I really like the Russian one personally. Anyone else.

By the way, I'm not suggesting a change in ours I'm just wondering if any others would make your playlist.

 

[OldBlueLady]

I like the Italian one, it's very upbeat, quite noticeable at all the F1s!

 

[Boreham Shrimper]

As much as it pains me to say it, La Marseillaise is a truly great anthem and never ceases to get me going

 

[Lord Football]

The Italian one, that is the highlight of the World Cup. The Russian one too.

Ever heard the Jamiacan one. Remember is being played when England played them in the World Cup warm up. Went on for about 5 minutes and was a reggae track.

I know this is going to cop me a bit of flack on here....but ours is awful. Dull, turgid music and words which I personally could never sing as I don't believe in them.

 

[Irish_Shrimper]

Having lived in Belgium, I always liked their anthem.

Otherwise, the Welsh one :net:

 

[Dave of the Match]

American one.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Brazil's national anthem.

Malta's one is quite drab.

I don't think our anthem being dull matters,it's what it stands for,and our history is prove of that,too many men and women have died wearing the crowns uniform,for me to call the anthem boring,especially today of all days,it's my countrys anthem,and by god i'll sing it.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

Always loved the East German one. But then I was a member of the Stasi. Oh the good old DDR.

100% agreed.

I agree, it's a really stirring anthem.

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

Got to be the french one for me,very stirring when standing at the cermony on the 6th of may and 11th of nov.

Not forgetting Escape to Victory either.

 

[McNasty]

The Greek anthem is the first 2 verses of 158, good job they don't play the lot.

As soon as i read that i started humming the great escape theme,can not for the life of me think of the escape to victory theme.

Not sure if many could, but the film had a SUFC connection with ex manager Bobby Moore and ex player Kevin O'Callaghan.

[Southampton Shrimper]

Agree with others on here, the national anthems of France and Italy are good, and I think my favourite would have to be the Russian one.

Always loved the East German one. But then I was a member of the Stasi. Oh the good old DDR.

Have to agree here as well, it was a good, stirring tune that I used to hear a lot when watching on TV all those male East German women continually winning gold medals in athletics and swimming.

National Anthem of the GDR

 

[Bazza the dog]

Brazil's national antham

Yes it's decent isn't it but a bit too long.
