Favourite National Anthems for Pre-Football
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, http://youtu.be/hzMKeN6y-1M |

I did a "World Cup" of these on another forum during SA. The winner by a single vote was France.
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. |

Interesting how many of the jaunty ones start with an instrumental bit. I thought that the Uruguayan one sounded very much like the Chilean one.
This will do for England [even if it is as British as GSTQ and not English ] http://youtu.be/PXQHpO4eEgk http://youtu.be/WkxW0Dbf5qA |

Uruguay's national anthem is a good one, in fact most South American ones tend to be up-tempo and lively.

Here is a great fans' rendition of the Italian anthem singing the names of all 24 players from Italian national team for World Cup 2014 using the music of Fratelli d'Italia.
http://youtu.be/ekNGNs-Pqgg Here is the list to singalong to the tune. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy_n...#Current_squad |

I'd say Argentina's scores heavily in that department. Horrendous. |

I would say the English, French, US and Spanish anthems are all good. Not sure if they are older, but all of them are instantly recognisable to me, unlike a lot of the other anthems which, are a bit meh

Russia, France and Italy are the best in that order for me. That Argentina anthem sounded really good tonight too.

Question for people, for the ones you are nominating, have you read the lyrics of them? Especially France.
