I can't believe no one has suggested "There be blue birds over , the white cliffs of Dover, tomotrrow just you wait and C, H, A....R, L T Charlton Athletic are the team for me....Or Agadoo
And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England’s Wembley's green? And was the pint held in my hand On England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did the German defense divide As we won in extra time And was football not invented here Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold! Bring me my chariots of fire! I will not cease from mental fight; Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built a winning team In England’s green and pleasant land.
I love it personally & fortunately I've been lucky enough to watch England in a few past world cups & euros when the atmosphere is another level. When it gets belted out towards the end of a game & England fans have usually managed to completely take over the ground it gives you goosebumps
It's ours and I don't care in the slightest what other countries anthems are like.
It does the job and it ain't changing any time soon, thankfully.
I don't think it does, do the job, considering England's appalling record in major tournaments!
if anything it does the complete opposite.
So by using your "logic" it did the job and inspired the team yesterday then? And at the 1966 World Cup?
Of course, that's bollocks - but you started it!
started what, off_it?
yesterday's result was a rare success for england in tournament football.
and 66 was fifty years ago, nuff said!
You started off the bizarre notion that the National Anthem is somehow responsible for the England football teams failure at international tournaments.
I am merely pointing out that if that is true then surely the equal is true - every time they win a game/tournament it's because of the anthem. It's the same song since 1966 after all, no matter how much time has passed.
Of course, it's bollocks - but as I said, you raised it in the first place!

my original post and still my point, our national anthem, is dreadful.
the england football team, as everyone knows has failed to deliver at major tournaments consistently and in the main, been an embarrassment, considering the players we've had at our disposal over the years.
for me I see no success in winning friendlies or gaining qualification to major tournaments, if they get knocked out at the group stage.
let's hope this tournament will be different but I'm not holding my breath.

Looking forward to you resurrecting this thread again at the next tournament, as you seem to do every few years for some strange reason.
When England play we should be singing Jerusalem. No question. The Welsh and Scottish have proud national anthems of their own so why not England ? The reason is that those that could make the decision to change are afraid it would be seen as some sort of snub to the queen so we're stuck with singing a dirge about a woman when we should be celebrating the nation. FACT ;9)

the rugby boys were inspired by their australian coach and their own ethics, not the shite national anthem.
and you have a bad attitude off_it and you clearly are off it! can't take different opinions, without resorting to being obnoxious, we don't all have to agree, that's what makes the world more interesting. try accepting differences, you might improve your education.

Walk upon England’s Wembley's green?
And was the pint held in my hand
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the German defense divide
As we won in extra time
And was football not invented here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariots of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built a winning team
In England’s green and pleasant land.

At Wembley is usually pathetic but 20,000 proud Englishman belting it out in Lens on Thur gave me goosebumps at times, esp after our equaliser.
FACT.
