    So nice to see every single one of the Italian team singing loud and passionately!

    Makes the England mumbles look like shy children who don't want to be there!

    Well unfortunately for Italy it's not a singing contest and they are the ones that won't be there, whereas the mumbling shy children of England qualified top undefeated ages ago and will be there.

    I'm with @Forgot_My_Lines on this one. Some players just seem up for it when they pull on their country's shirt. I don't care if they can't sing or belt it out off key, I'd just prefer to see them show a bit more "up for it" during the anthems. It's a dirge of a song when you compare it to the French or many others in fact but it's our dirge so sing up.

    The Italians are a noisy excitable people and clearly didn't show enough "up for it " during qualifying.

    I'm sure Elton John is a good singer but I don't expect him to be a good footballer it's not his specialty.
    Nor do I expect Harry Kane to preform a rousing rendition of Benny and the Jets.

    I feel awkward singing happy birthday to you in public as I don't quite have the range of Maria Carey .

    For Italy to not Qualify for a World cup is a travesty for them ,Imagine if England failed but the boys had a right old sing song before?
    They would get crucified by our media and by most of the people on here.

    Also the Italian National anthem is all about rejoicing in the pride of being an Italian .Something that is frowned upon here and we would probably need to change the words to be more inclusive of transgender people and multiculturalism .
    The flag is a bit offensive ,perhaps a rainbow with a Crescent moon?.



    The Italians had better haircuts and facial hair though. :emoticon-0136-giggl

    As i said... it doesn't matter if they can sing or not. I'm sure many of the England Rugby XV can't sing either but most of them still show a bit more pride in belting it out before the game.

    I'm usually making a trip to the fridge or having a piss when the anthems are sung it means the adverts are coming up.

    And it's hard to sing when you need a piss so I'll let you off if you just mumble through it at home too <laugh>

    Just been watching the news, about the man who got beaten until he is now unable to do anything for himself. By the “Southend United fan gang”

    Apparently just randomly picked innocent people. Apparently they have a card they leave. “First we take your life, then we take your wife”

    I am so appalled, upset and disgusted. I never knew such a tiny, sh*t, pointless club. Would have any kind of fans. Let alone fans who do this!

    I know there use to be club gangs who arrange to meet up for a tear up, between rivals, in the bad old days.

    To just pick random people walking home, is so ******ed. Sums up Southend.

    Think I heard about this, was it Cambridge vs Southend?
    I heard his wife interviewed on the radio if so and it was unprovoked, needless,
    barbaric and life threatening.
    Repeatedly stamping on his head as he lay unconscious. WTF?
    To a frickin' stranger with a dodgy scarf on? Despicable.

    The story is abhorrent and the evil morons deserve a long spell in prison but you can't vent your anger on the 99.9% of Southend fans that just turn up to watch their team.
    We had an idiot racially abusing an Olympic hero boxer at the Emirates it doesn't make all Norwich fans racists.

    I was talking about the "Southend club gang", whatever they call themselves. I'd happily go on record and say 100% of them are c**ts.

    I was out yesterday evening, so only just seen this and I remember seeing the story on TVwhen it happened and it really is just sickening to think that there are idiots such as could do that to another human being.
