Would you like England have a different national anthem? I'm Scottish and I had goosebumps on Saturday when Flower of Scotland was belted out. Then last night as I watched the game with my English husband, God Save the Queen just didn't seem to evoke the same passion.

Would you sing with more passion if you had a truly English-only song?

Why oh Why do the England rugby team have the British anthem and not the English anthem,Land of hope and Glory This has been annoying me for years and no-one has given a justifiable reason why it is so.

You don't hear the South Africans praising Nelson Mandela!

Why does the England team have the UK national anthem? Surely the UK anthem - God save the queen should only be used at the olympics where there is a UK/GB team. Englands specific national anthem is land of hope and glory, which I think should be used for English teams. What do you think about this? Yes I know land of hope and glory refers to other parts of the UK Interesting answer Jim, but it was written for that purpose in the 17th or 18th century. In the now, it is synonymous as the anthem for Great Britain as a whole; hence why I'm asking this question

Why has England not got its own national anthem to play at individual country sporting events? Having recently watched the commenwealth games I noted that Scotland when they won medals had flower of Scotland played and if Wales had won any then they would have played Land of My Fathers. Both of which are stiring and which represent well their individual countries. When England win anything or the national anthem is played for England it is always the national anthem for Great Britain as a whole (God Save the queen) which is more to do with Royalty and nothing whatsoever to do with England as its own unique country. Suggestions such as Jerusluam and Hope and Glory have both been touted as possibles and both has passion for the country. God save the queen is a bit wishy washy and not properly about England as its own unique country.

Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned. God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong. Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, Who are born of thee? Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet. Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son.

England - Land of hope and Glory? the real national anthem? in 1901, land of hope and glory was written becoming one of the most patriotic English iconic songs of all time, stiring the hearts and minds of millions for a century through its emotional power. It's traditional English music, an icon of England - arguably our national anthem in waiting. It graces the last night of the proms, one of the most patriotic English traditions. But, a century on, is Britain still percieved as 'the land of hope and glory?' and infact, who thinks it would make a better national anthem than god save the queen and should be our national song (eg for sports)?

Would Fabio Capello sing the Italian National Anthem if England ever faced Italy while he is in charge? I can't remember if SGE sang the Swedish Anthem when we played Sweden. What are you guys up to? I am just dowloading music. Thank You Roberto- What are you trying to say, fans of the English NT are hooligans!? I wouldn't mind if he sang it! I don't expect him to sing the English Anthem either. And to the other guy. If England lost I think he would be gutted as he is part of the English Team now, plus he said he never wanted to manage Italy. Here take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BrAZl-EXzU He said he never wanted to manage Italy. I think its because if he starts getting bad results then he would be slaughtered. The same thing would happen in England. But why should he care, if he gets sacked, it doesn't matter he is not English his family (I don't think) live in England. I know he lives in London now, but if he were to be sacked he could just go back to Italy. Yes he got a bit of Stick first. Especially after that draw with France, but it was difficult for him as Lippi was such a great manager. Yes they lost 3-1 and drew 0-0 at the San Siro
