I grade 60% melody 40% ability to evoke the feels (Canadian and French and British are fantastic at the latter and apparently so is Colombia).

Canada France and Britain all give me goosebumps more than our own, sadly. Ours is above average but "God Bless America" or "America the Beautiful" are way better songs.

Canada France and Britain all give me goosebumps more than our own, sadly. Ours is above average but "God Bless America" or "America the Beautiful" are way better songs.

The Star Spangled Banner was set to a tune called "To Anacreon in Heaven", which was the anthem of a British drinking society. The musical style was meant to be comedically pompous.

The whole thing is close to over the top at baseline, and if you get a singer who wants to throw in a lot of melismatic runs to show off their voice, it rapidly becomes ridiculous.

I agree with Woody Guthrie that "God Bless America" is schmaltzy; "America the Beautiful" is a good song.

Like I said the other day, La Marseillaise is easily the best national anthem. There's a reason the melody was quoted by the likes of Schumann, Tchaikovsky, and many others.

One Colombia player who won't be murdered
It could be that your purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others. Explains why I come with a warning label. Life is short, drink jager with red bull.

I was in Germany during the 1994 World Cup. Vividly remember sitting on the S Bahn in Berlin reading a German tabloid and thinking to myself, "I cannot POSSIBLY be understanding this article because it seems like it says a guy got MURDERED for scoring an Eigentor".

Thus game is just what you would expect between a South American team that wants to be skillful and a central asiatic team that has no skill and just wants to be physical. I feel like I've done this game on a random Sunday.

I admit I know nothing about Uzbekistan's competitiveness in the Asian confederation. Just looked at who they had to compete against for qualification.

I feel like Colombia will do to Uzbekistan what everyone expected Portugal should have done vs DR Congo.

I've always though France and Italy have the best national anthems
