National anthem

[QPRDave]

Bellamy, Giggs, Allen,....it's the National Anthem of GB of which Wales is still a part, and you boys are representing GB.........sing it

Difficult one since it's the English National Anthem. I personally wouldn't sing 'Flower of Scotland' or 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' even though they are rousing tunes. England should have a different anthem then we can all sing the GB one.

rule brittania should be the olympic anthem!

Maybe they're atheist republicans meaning that our awful anthem has zero relevance?

acricketer and OldSchool are both correct.

They are playing for GB, if they don't want to sing the country they are representing national anthem then don't play. Hypocritical they choose to play but to be fair pretty pointless competition and with Pearce in charge they have no chance.

I don't blame them for not singing it because too many idiots seem to think England and Britain are the same thing. They're not. The English seem to have rejected their national identity in favour of the British one. The Welsh and Scots have hung onto theirs. That's why so many Welsh and Scots don't get involved with Britishness, because its also seen as Englishness.

I'm not supporting this Team GB nonsense. I'm English and my country is not represented, although many of my countrymen and women are competing under the Team GB umbrella. I didn't cheer Andy Murray on at Wimbledon and I won't be cheering him on for Team GB either.
