National Anthems

what i prefer about NA, it's when you watch a match (football or rugby more), i love so much when the players sing their respective anthems, they (for half of them) don't know it at all, and most horrible the video camera is here to prove it !!!, and you can hear them singing something you have no chance to undertsand Sometimes you can see them laughing about this ! And more beautiful again, in a team, none have the same nationality, do they really care to sing an anthem from another country ??? it makes me think of Zidane in Madrid, or Cantona !!! so funny Even in the national french team, i'm sure maybe 3 of them can sing our anthem !

I know the part from the anthem they always sing before a soccergame with the national theme.

It's called "Het Wilhelmus"

I know my NA, and I don't even speak the language, c'mon people, get learning!! I know what you mean about the English anthem Mike, why don't you come over to Wales and shout Gwlad at the top of your voice

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Tros ryddid collasant ei gwaed.

GWLAD, GWLAD, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra mor yn fur
I'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

I know all of mine

especially the verse about bashing the jocks

A-men Hellman!

I know the name (of our national anthem).

It still belongs to it, it's just that nobody sings it anymore. I dunno if it has even ever been forbidden to do so.

Hey, the one that make this poll and the "Please remove the devil emoticon" is a moralist????

But the best anthem is: "Mexicanos al grito de gueeerra..."
