Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny
Raises its bloody banner
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons and women!

To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let the impure blood
Water our furrows!

I loved this song as a child. It is very stirring. Much more so than God Save the Queen. Not that I cast any slur against her. Just the anthem.

Lucky firstborn I say.

What an anthem...vive la france

Give it a few extra decibels for me Vidal and others.🇳🇱

My missus says fair play to ya Vidal.

Top man,hope others do the same

Vive la France 🇫🇷

la solidarité

If you are lucky you could see Jesse Lingard win his first England cap!!!

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

Spot on Sheepy Dead right.

chapeau, Vidal

Once you've got the words down, you can try and get the intonation right, which i always found a bit tricky.

Hoping we give them an excellent reception tomorrow night.

VC, he wouldn't have even registered on Woys radar if had still be on-loan at the Ipro, (even if he had banged-in 10 goals in that time)?

*been

You only have to look like you are going to score for Utd and you're on your way to your first cap.......................... I think I'm going to be sick

Sorry for hijacking the thread BTW

You are right Scouse

Viva La France.

Than a white South African. Hmmmmm!

Lingard was behind Ince, Ward and Russell in the pecking order at Derby but is suddenly good enough to play for England. The old song about Phil Neale springs to mind.

Lingard was too light for the Championship. His style suits the Prem better.

There are more South Africans murdered every three days than died in Paris. There's effectively a cull of white farmers there but, as they only grow crops and not oil, nothing is done about it. There's been 4 million deaths in DRC in the civil war, Boko Haram run amok with impunity, Palestinians are being murdered by the day in their own land, and when Russia isn't blowing Malaysian planes out of the sky she's mourning her own plane loads destroyed by ISIS...

Where's their anthems?

Don't know. When are Palestine and Boko Haram playing at Wembley?

Right after we've had a national one-minute silence for the Palestinian victims, but Boko Haram isn't a country.

Or this one?
