At least GSTQ is singable and doesn't go on too long.

 

You need a voice like an opera singer to do the Star Spangled Banner.

 

Best one is the Welsh, I have to admit.

La Marseillaise has to be up there ?

Boring group for Brazil. Had both the Swiss and Serbia in the last World Cup and Cameroon prior to that. Also a difficult group in the sense Brazil should be beating them all, but a draw against any wouldn't be a total shock.

 

Weird that Senegal v Netherlands will be the opener of the World Cup apparently.

Qatar open, shirley?

 

 

Doesn't seem like that. FIFA adjusted the schedule to fit with the most profitable TV times.

 

So on november 21st. Senegal v Netherlands is the first game and then England plays Iran before the grand opening ceremony with Qatar playing Ecuador.

Jenas is a lying cunt. Swear he said Qatar was first match.

An honourable second, I'd say. It's quite a remarkable tune, the way it keeps moving forward with almost no repetition. 

 

Italy's is a bit martial-sounding and goes on a bit too long.

 

For a national anthem, you need something that is stirring but at the same time quite reverent. Land of My Fathers effectively combines both.

Saw something that Ghana are hoping to have Hudson Odoi and Tariq Lamptey declared for them by the time this starts

 

That would be fantastic for Ghana. Find their team a bit underwhelming, but those two are good enough to make that group more interesting. The way Uruguay have been playing under their new manager they might actually win that group. Once again an interesting side. Fascinating how that small country keeps producing good players. Godin might be getting on a bit, but still have Araujo, Gimenez at the back and then Betancur, Valverde in midfield and Suarez, Cavani, Nunez, Gomez up top.
