By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?

Well I certainly agree with that. If they're good enough at taking the money they should be good enough to sing God Save The Queen in my book. -{

And this is where we disagree...I'd prefer players to sing the national anthem obviously but it can be counter productive to what you are trying to achieve...the manager and coaches have spent the last few days outlining how he wants you to play, you have a job to do and need to keep a cool and calm head - then you go out, belt out the national anthem...pump out your chest, get all fired up and then run round like a headless chicken because you have 'forgotten' the job you are supposed to do amid all the passion...

Well that's a fair point but it wouldn't hurt some of them to a least lip-synch. Problem solved?

yes I suppose there is that to it , but im sure myself and others here on AJB were on £100,000 a week
and went to our bosses and said ooh ive forgotten my job ,I don't think we would be employed much longer
I don't get out of bed for less than £100,000. ) oh sorry I meant, £10 and
a bag of chips.
I think the funniest trying to sing a national anthem when you don't know
The words has to be when John Redwood ( Welsh secretary at the time ) tried
To sing the Welsh anthem and clearly had never heard it before. )

Yes, I remember that and his standing against John Major for the Tory leadership in 1995. "Put up or shut up" indeed!

My tip for any footballer would be, to bow your hear and close your eyes.
At least then it would look like you're praying. ) This also works if you
are caught having a nap in the office.

It's got NOTHING to do with 'attention span'...it's about stating calm and focused on the job at hand...NOT about getting all pumped up and chasing around after everything...if you play sport then you will understand.
my last game of rugby (union) I played was in Paris ,and one or two of the guys shed a tear while we sang our national anthem that was part of the ritual ,could we out sing the French on their home turf , and show how proud we was to be
English , it was a no holds barred game with one or two plays needing hospital treatment we would have ,and did bleed for our flag ,but afterwards when all of us ,including the French sat down to eat and drink in Parisian bar /eatery
we didn't hold back on telling our French colleagues how sh*t London was yes there are always two sides to a story
I've come round to liking the idea of biting being allowed in football. Even
Heighten the excitement by allowing one played per team to carry a concealed
weapon !
So instead of a professional foul to bring a player down, his opponent could simply
whip out a cosh and quickly bring him down with a bang on the head.

Indeed Sir Miles I do understand as I play sport every week and I agree, keeping calm and staying focused are vital, whatever level you play sport at. Mine is Ju-Jitsu and participants risk injury or worse if they're not calm and focused. So please excuse my slightly flippant remark, it has nothing to do with attention span, but IMO I'm not sure that singing the national anthem with a little more gusto would prevent any team from focusing on the game once the whistle blows... But it's of no consequence and I would hate to fall out with anyone over it, England played well and remained focused until the end. -{
I think you'll find England is paid to sing, it couldn't be for the football. )
Like some American sports we should take a celeb singer to do the anthem.
Imagine the pride if the great Gary Barlow was to stride out on the pitch.

don't be daft TP, the England team wouldn't know which one was their left leg ,
At least you didn't say they couldn't tell their Arse from their elbow.
Although they way they've played lately, you I never know ?
Well that's a fair point but it wouldn't hurt some of them to a least lip-synch. Problem solved?

The players are paid for playing football and not singing!
