With the England game coming up and the worst national anthem of the 32 about the be played and sung which is your favourite National Anthem of the 32?
For me the most dire is "England's" GSTQ.
Chile has the best,

Narrowly beating Italy.
Indeed. Both words and music are shyte. An embarrassment.
There are many great National Anthems:
Russia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOAtz8xWM0w
Greece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VkPRU6C-JQ
Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyyOahYXhUQ
Many more.
This will do for England [even if it is as British as GSTQ and not English ]

We wouldn't have to see Capello's grin ... but wait ...
Yes!! I love that anthem! It was great hearing it so much at the Winter Olympics and Paralympics!
From the ones here, I loved the Italian one, very uplifting.

Here is the list to singalong to the tune.

I'd say Argentina's scores heavily in that department. Horrendous.
It's dire in no small part because it's the British National Anthem (I'm guessing that's why you've put England's in inverted commas). England should have its own, e.g. 'Land of Hope and Glory'. It would also mean that the other countries in the UK could take more pride in our shared anthem (even though it's not the best).
My favourite is Russia, followed by France, USA and Germany. Italy and Spain are also good.
Yes. What do you think needs to be considered about the lyrics? Your post is pretty vague.
France's anthem is about revolution, ours is about an outdated institution and the words could have been written by a child "Send her victorious, happy and glorious".
I loathe God Save the Queen.
The anthems I like are about the land and the people.
