I’ve got World Cup fever now. I still don’t understand the offside rule, but I think the national anthems are spiffing. The Italians and the Brazilians sounded like they were singing a chorus from a Grand Opera. Makes “God Save the Queen” sound like a bit of a dirge.
There must be a better national anthem for sporting events.
Something stirring, inspiring, glorious and triumphant, which will spur our boys and girls on to greatness, recalling past victories and filling them with pride and love for our sceptr’d isle, poetic and moving, motivating and energizing, dignified and solemn. Something with the gravitas of the Russians, the pomp of the Americans, and the flourish of the Champions League song (which always sounds like it finishes on the word “Lasagne!”).
How about “O come all ye faithful”?

Thank you. I feel rather ignorant. This whole "offside" thing has me a bit baffled.
At last I am in good company
