They could teach the England footballers a thing or two Clover, I always remember watching Rooney either looking around or at his feet but never singing, he very well could of been anti royal but when playing for your country ,the singing of that anthem should be mandatory

Yep the Springboks were in good voice as well BM

I thought it was the uk anthem not English, perhaps the footballers feel that English should have their own anthem

Yes I know Tony but you’d think there’d be some feeling of Nationalism playing for your country

You cannot make singing the National Anthem mandatory. Not all English sportsmen and women are Royalists. And, let's face it, the National Anthem hardly inspires a performance of grit and determination. It is a bit of a dirge, imho of course. Something more rousing is need. Chumbawumba spring to mind:-)

I agree Ken, I’d love a different anthem, more of a rabble rousing one would be better :0)
Love the French one

TonyV

Bobbisox1 yes I would have thought so, don't know what his management team was telling him.
