    Best and worst? Saudi Arabia's was awful. Got to say the Russian anthem is good.

    Ours is a ****ing dirge. I don't have anything against the royal family particularly but that song needs scraping, it's not the least bit uplifting or rabble-rousing. I think I'm correct in saying somewhere like Albania has the same national anthem as us (the tune) and when we played them it was odd being played twice.

    I find the Scottish anthem, as played at the rugby, a little like a crap pop song. The Irish one is much the same.

    One my favourite is the Welsh one. I never fail to have a tear in my eye when I hear that one.

    The Marselleise is unquestionably the best national anthem ever.

    I quite like God Save the Queen, if only because it has been sung (in one version or another) for about 700 years.

    Do you remember the scene from Casablanca with the Nazi chanting out some fascist chorus and the whole bar drowns them out with the Marselleise ? Ripping stuff

    Agree but it's so blood thirsty and barbaric almost in the language.

    I bet that Saudi sheik sitting in the stands with Putin politely refuses his offer of a cuppa.
