Your favourite national anthem

[Chris in London]

Not read the whole thread but f nobody has mentioned South Africa's they should have done

Russian anthem has to be my favourite but the Dutch ('Het Wilhelmus') is fantastic before sports games. Saw the Holland-Germany hockey match at the Olympics and it certainly had the crowd going - well the Orange part of it.

watch the Italian rugby team sing their national anthem on youtube,it will put hairs on your chest,these men mean what they are singing

And what I like is the fuckin' race they all have to finish first. Spectacular stuff!

Is the correct answer. Didn't they have a campaign for it to replace the anaemic Advance Australia Fair?

French or Italian are the best

I didn't think the italian anthem was so loved outside Italy, my favourite in order are:
1)USA;
2)Germany;
3)UK.

You like GSTQ ? Really ? It's horrendous

Well i don't mind about the text, although i hate monarchy but i find it linked to your country's roots and history.

I can't stand the yank anthem . I think they just make it sound so cheesy by doin long draw out versions before the boxing ect .

I'm pretty sure it was composed by an Englishman ?

I hate the yank one two, they always have to have someone sing their own version of it were, like you say, they draw it out.
I also find it weird that the fans in the stand don't sing it too.

Italian,
Brazilian
and I do like ours, probably more because it's ours and not the song itself.
