AWFULI do like The Star Spangled Banner. The US does all that patriotism stuff rather well.
I always wanted to be an American when I was a kid. I love the place.

Agreed: similar to the French one (which IMO is the best national anthem) in that it’s bombastic and rousing. What an anthem should beNot popular at the moment of course, but I do like the Russian anthem.
True. Being at Mutrayfield as a group of England fans, when the tannoy goes quiet and the stadium belts out the second verse a Capella is spine tinglingthe Scottish one - Flower of Scotland is a cracker!
It's ok for the Jocks to sing their national anthem about defeating the English in battle, but we have to remove the verse from ours about defeating the Scots?
