WTF? Why the ENGLISH national anthem when the players came on? Don't Nolan, Ray, Jones etc count? I assume it was connected with Sunday, but millions died that were not English! What an insulting cock-up!

Thought it was "Land of Hope and Glory" they played. I always thought that the national anthem of England is usually taken to be the same as that of the United Kingdom as a whole—"God Save the Queen".Quote:

Wonder what they played in Paris with all those Brits in attendance
