Knightonian Posted 26 September 2012 Posted 26 September 2012 I think the Brazilain and the French National Athemes are the best. This is the best one. I get the hairs on the back of my spine flowing up when this is played. A proper national antheme. I'm a Republican and an Atheist, so God Save the Queen means nothing to me. When Land of Hope and Glory was played at the Walkers a few years ago and the veterans were walking around the pitch, it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This an atheme I would stand up to. Stunning....

The Indian one is even worse, the wording does have no representation to the word india (a secular nation), but to 'hindustan' (land of hindu's, a religion which endorses racial domination by birth right)!!!!!
Fox92 Posted 26 September 2012 Posted 26 September 2012 My favourites are Italy and Brazil. Always liked the French national anthem as well. Think the German one is also good as it sounds like a proper march. Always thought 'God Save The Queen' is boring, and most countries seem to have more passion and energy in their national anthems.
Simmo86 Posted 26 September 2012 Posted 26 September 2012 Love the Italian anthem! GSTQ is very good on its day. When you get a big game with a passionate crowd singing it.
leicsmac Posted 27 September 2012 Posted 27 September 2012 Don't get all the Italian anthem love - IMO it's far too light sounding, it's a puff piece. Love the German anthem, and I think Jerusalem should become the English NA as soon as is humanly possible. Nothing wrong with GSTQ but like many other people I think England needs its own individual anthem to go with the other Home Nations.
