National Anthems

**Thunderblaster** · 19/05/2006, 12:21 AM

Before the start of each game, there is always the national anthem of the two competing countries. I gave a thought on alternatives. Pop stars singing the national anthems of their home countries.
Here are some crooners and their countries to get the list going.

Rep. Ireland: Bryan McFadden
Northern Ireland: Van Morrison
Scotland: Del Amitri
Wales: Tom Jones
England: Robbie Williams
Canada: Bryan Adams
USA: Britney Spears
Puerto Rico: Ricky Martin
Jamaica: Shaggy
Cuba: Gloria Estefan
Guyana: Eddy Grant
Colombia: Shakira

Brazil: Corona
Netherlands: 2Unlimited
Spain: Enrique Iglesias
France: Vanessa Paradis
Italy: Eiffel 65
Greece: Demis Roussos
Romania: Cheeky Girls
Norway: Aha
Sweden: Ace of Base
Austria: DJ Otzi

Nigeria: Dr Alban
Senegal: Youssou N'dour
Guinea: Mory Kante
South Africa: Ladysmith Black Mumbaza

Anyone else can come up with extra or alternative anthem belters before soccer matches?

Mc Fadden for **** sake is he the best singer we have.

**Dodge** · 19/05/2006, 11:00 AM

I swear to god, if he ever gets to represent this country I'll leave.

I;m not kidding

A good alternative for the USA Anthem is either 50 Cent or Eminem.

Would be funny if God Save The Queen was performed by The Prodigy!!

Shakira must perform the Colombian Anthem in bikini wear only!!

Denmark:Whigfield
Belgium:Technotronic
Trinidad and Tobago:MN8

first we'd(NI) have to get our own anthem then Im sure van would happily sing along. If not Stiff little fingers could easily fill in

Altough Dana's effort for the world cup wasnt bad. surely youse lads down there could do better than Bryan. what about old crooner chris de burgh

Santana - Mexico

Dont really c ur point bout van or SLF not bein interested a few members of SLF were known to be seen at NI games. Why would you worry so much about us anyway you should be worrying about your own country surely

Your back must be sore with the size of that chip on your shoulder.

Liechtenstein's anthem has the same air as the English God Save the Queen.
Completely Different Lyrics in German of course.

A Church of England Hymn( don't know the name) has the same air as Deutschland Liedt and of course was banned during World Wars I and II!
