No words, you see. Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country? Post by: bobAlike on June 18, 2014, 12:03:30 AM I like the Spanish one. No words, you see. How do you know it's Spanish? Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country? Post by: mulhuzz on June 18, 2014, 12:05:09 AM I like the Spanish one. No words, you see. How do you know it's Spanish? Because they don't pledge allegiance to the King of Spain, like the Dutch do. Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country?

Now I'm even more confused, the Dutch pledge allegiance to the King of Spain? Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country?

Yes: (Old) Dutch: 'Den Coninck van Hispaengien heb ick altijt gheeert' (Modern) Dutch: 'den Koning van Hispanje heb ik altijd geheered' I have always honoured the King of Spain.... Interesting history the Dutch national anthem. Oldest in the world (lyrics and music, oldest music is Japanese). Dutch national anthem is 'sung' by William of Orange (he's the I, above) and his 'troubles' the King of Spain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelmus Technically the Dutch national anthem is sung by a German, praising a Spaniard.

No words, you see. didnt a football commentator recently remark that the spain squad weren't singing their anthem or didn't know it as the camera panned along them pre-game? he was later told it had no words.

Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country? Post by: Graham C on June 18, 2014, 01:03:48 PM Based on performance I'm loving the Brazilian one in the games, what a spectacle that it.
As corny as it sounds I like the USA and Australia ones. I mean no offense to Her Majesty, but I wish we had one more along the theme of being proud of the country as a whole. Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country? Post by: arbboy on June 18, 2014, 01:04:49 PM italy for me everytime. Prefer the nations at the 6nations to football any day of the week. So much more passion.

Ireland's call, particularly at the Aviva South Africa France ours is one of the least stirring! Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country?

I mean no offense to Her Majesty, but I wish we had one more along the theme of being proud of the country as a whole. Exactly what ours should be. Not singing about a privileged monarch, and instead be singing about the country you're about to represent/fight for. Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country?

Exactly what ours should be. Not singing about a privileged monarch, and instead be singing about the country you're about to represent/fight for. I quite like that we have a monarch and think it should be part of the anthem but only part, not the whole thing. It should be more about being proud to be British and mention her at the end, like the Home of the Brave part in the SSB. Title: Re: Best National Anthem other than your home country?
