Why is it the Prima Donna’s that are the England football team never show any passion for there country’s anthem, unlike the England Rugby League Team that sang with pride and passion on Saturday against France?

I think it’s because they’re just so focused.

Focused on what £££££££££?
Cos it certainly ain’t the football!

They are too rich to sing with celebrities status. 🙄

Zee Germans were the same though, digital age innit-if you can’t text it it’s not worth singing

Who could not get caught up in the emotion of the beautiful message of god looking after the queen and with a rousing tune to boot

Blessed they are to use the UK national anthem as their own.

Blessed they are to use the UK national anthem dirge as their own.

seriously though, it’s such a miserable tune, why would you sing along to it. Billy Connolly had it right

Mention of God and Queenie and for that reason….I’m out.

If I’d been a good enough sports person to be on the top spot of a podium I’d like to think I would have had the courage of my convictions and refused to take my place if they insisted on playing that tune.

seriously though, it’s such a miserable tune

Shall we nominate a more suitable replacement?

My vote: The theme tune from The Flumps
