The Italian and French are both great at pomp and circumstance.
I like ours.
Isn't the Italian's the one that starts with just music for ages and then they start singing about halfway through and it's as if they're trying to cram all the words for the whole song just into the second half? Almost as if they didn't hear it start and are then trying to catch up!
Welsh one in a full stadium is awesome. Just wish there was an "England" one that was actually good. Land of hope and glory is great, written by Elgar, made by Macho Man Randy Savage

God Save The King smashes the rest out of the park - Solid, dependable and has led the line through some of the most tumultuous world events. None of the peasant revolutionary shite of the rest.
The French prefer to play their anthem in reverse.
Boils my buns when female singers of the national anthem at sporting events screech the ending in a massively ascending high note. “Go-od save the Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng”. A relatively recent affectation but totally unnecessary.
