If there is a God, who better to save the Queen?

I'm pretty sure when Italy players hear GSTQ been belted out tonight, they will realise they are going to be in a hell of a game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of all the people in the world the Queen is probably the last one that needs saving anyway. The song is a tribute serfdom, absolutely rank.
Hopefully at some point in the future England players will just stand there rather than joining in or better yet something more appropriate that celebrates the people of the country is brought in

Italy's national anthem in English.

English translation
1. Brothers of Italy,
Italy has awakened;
Scipio's helmet
she has put on her head.
Where is the Victory?
Offer her the hair;
because slave of Rome
God created her.

Chorus:
Let us unite!
We are ready to die;
Italy called.

2. We have been for centuries
stamped on, and laughed at,
because we are not one people,
because we are divided.
Let's unite under
one flag, one dream;
To melt together
Already the time has come.

3. Let's unite, let's love;
The union and the love
Reveal to the people
God's ways.
We swear to liberate
the native soil:
United, for God,
Who can beat us?

4. From the Alps to Sicily,
Everywhere is Legnano;
Every man of Ferruccio
has the heart and the hand;
the children of Italy
are called Balilla;
The sound of every church bell
calling for evening prayers.

5. They are branches that bend
the sold swords;
Already the eagle of Austria
has lost its feathers.
the blood of Italy
and the Polish blood
Drank with Cossacks
But its heart was burnt.

God is mentioned several times and Scipio defeated Hannibal in 202 BC.

Is it really any different to god save the queen?

Jerusalem for me, stirring stuff.

I had a dream that I met the queen last night. She kept phoning Lewis Capaldi to give him updates on her day. Then I talked to Lewis on the phone too.

Thankfully not everyone is as bitter as you.

This should be sung before tonight's game.

Let's hope the players sing to the top of their voices tonight with 60,000 fans doing the same.

Dutch national anthem, just for weirdness.

1. Written in the first person
2. By a guy who identifies as German, and
3. Pledges his allegiance to Spain
4. Without even mentioning the Netherlands once

Everyone knows it's the Russian anthem, right?

Italian then French. Do love Flower Of Scotland as well.

Spanish is the worst. Nobody seems to know the words

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I love the way the Italians sing the anthem, and whilst I’m all up for putting off an away team, I don’t approve of booing a national anthem.

I really wish we’d move on from GSTQ, hopefully when she passes so will that song.

Jerusalem would be my choice, I also like Rule Britannia (but I’m sure either lefties wouldn’t approve).

South Africa
----------------------------------------------------------------------
South Africa for me too
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Agree South Africa is one of the more underrated ones.

Italy, France, Portugal, USA, Russia and Germany, off the top of my head, have really good ones.

Ours, sadly, is very dour, stuffy and totally bereft of inspiration. As said above, Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory are better by indescribable margins.

Always thought it sounds like a Christmas Carol too.

The People's Flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.

Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.

Definately....Land of hope and glory.

I know the words to the Spanish anthem,it's only been official for a few years,so most Spanish still prefer the tune !

no one wants to hear people singing about stiff and cold limbs as energy prices are rising, it's just taunting the elderly

Vengabus is a good tune
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was going to suggest: "Fat Les - Vindaloo" But this also works.

The worst is by far ours. In just its four word title it mentions two of the ugliest parts of humanity. A god and a queen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well said
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Found the betas

Russias is by far the best anthem

The French is my favourite, but really like the Italian and Spanish.

I too would prefer Jerusalem for ours

Gstq
Land of hope and glory
Jerusalem
Vow to thee…

For a pretty un-Christian country you lot seem obsessed with god?

The People's Flag is deepest red,
It shrouded cute and furry woodland animals,
And ere their limbs grew warm and floppy,
Their hearts were full of joy and love.
