Bruno should’ve had two great Thiago assists to his name first half. Having a great game.

Someone is going to destroy this Brazil team once the tournament comes around. So open defensively in transition.

It's literally just a song mate it's nowt to do with baiting the Germans the Great Escape. Doubt the Germans even give a shit about it what so ever. The only word in it is literally "England".

 

I get it's from the war but as you've said so are most national anthems.

 

 

 

It was aimed specifically at the Germans when it started out - in the same way the humming ‘The Dambusters’ or singing about Bomber Harris is.  It’s been ‘gentrified’ by the (fucking irritating) England band, but it was 100% jingoistic shite which wasn’t hummed in good faith.  Most national anthems relate to wars which occurred outside of everyone’s lifetimes - they have the distance of history.  

 

It is a bit like people at the rugby today singing ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’, which has completely dubious origins but now is adopted by the crowd without any thought as to why it’s being sung.  ‘Any idea why we’re singing a negro spiritual at a rugby match, Tristan?’ ‘No idea old boy’.

Even better if it’s someone who has no idea when it was written.
 

I heard it so often when I lived in Scotland. Every once in a while it was in a situation that made me slightly uncomfortable

Wasn’t it written by Rob Roy in a cave with a timorous beastie as a pet or something?

alreet gents, did a family draft sweepstake thing where each of us (8 in total) gets to pick 6 teams. Each person's picks are on a line... the big question: who has the best group of teams? (Prizes for a) most total points in the group stage, and b) winning the world cup.)
