Irish National Anthem Gaffe

I remember some years ago that the German anthem was played in “error” for an Israeli team. Odd when this happens that it is the anthem played that would probably cause the most offence.
 
West German Anthem for Australian Team vs. Israel: In 1985, before a football match between Australia and Israel, the West German national anthem was initially played for the Australian team by mistake.


There some great ones in that list. I particularly like the Antwerp Olympics one where they couldn't find the score for the Italian anthem so the band just played O Sole Mio and the crowd joined in.
