That would be like Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator only minus the nazism and with added footie.
Because it's a massive stinking outdated turd of an anthem and noone actually believes in the ****ing lyrics anymore.
Lallana looked out of his depth in the friendlies and deserved to get dropped. Shame Ox had to miss out, he was brilliant in the friendlies. Don't think there's much difference between the teams, anyone's game. Hope Roy doesn't park the bus
Not the point. Bit of patriotism wouldn't go a miss. 90% of the National Anthem's do make sense, but people still take pride in singing it while appearing for your Country at the biggest competition in the World.
But most anthems aren't asking you to sing along whilst pledging allegiance and subservience to your inbred aristocratic and irrelevant overlords, they just praise the attributes of the country and the people themselves rather than focusing on and bigging up the royal family.
If England win the WC with 5 Liverpool players starting (and 1 on the bench) do we get to claim it as a trophy in the same way West Ham do?
