Danny Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If you could change GSTQ to an actual decent national anthem what would you change it to? For England obviously admin Wales and Scotland are already sorted. I'd lean towards one of: Vindaloo (England national team only) Wonderwall/Don't Look Back In Anger Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you take the good with the bad and a balanced view, you've only got to look at the slaughter of people that British colonialism caused in your own country. As a country that should be something that we look back on in shame, much like the Germans do over the Nazi's. But it's a lot more acceptable to feel shame over killing white Europeans than Asians/Africans/American etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted June 2, 2018 Administrator Share Posted June 2, 2018 one thing I'll be missing at this year's World Cup is seeing the passion of the Italian players singing their anthem. One of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The lens through which you view and interpret history shapes the reality of your today. To look back at a something romantically or with guilt will significantly alter behaviour. Attaching emotion to history is always a risk. Most history of the island and occupants of Briton and the formation and existance of the boundary of England is actually ignored. I am against national anthems in football in general, I used to think bin God Save the Queen because it says nothing about today, but if you are going to have an anthem then it must define either history or the present. In simplified terms the monarchy is the reason this boundary called England exists, throw in the threat of invasion to that. It seems to me people and I once wanted an anthem of emotion. What we've got now is emotionless for most, but at least it is a statement that defines why this boundary exists. Plus if you want emotion this anthem really winds our near rivals up. It gets them froffing at the mouth which is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best. For me it’s the best composed national anthem of them all. I’ve always been envious of the whole make-up of that anthem especially the actual melodic changes in rhythm. The World Cup without it loses something special. Both the Italian and US national athems are the best out there with the German one coming behind but very nice too. Those three for me.
