We need something the French anthem - whatever language you speak you know they're singing "We're French, so just f*ck off!" over and over again. However the rendition of the Star Spangled Banner last night, did make me think of Bleedin' Gums Murphy from The Simpsons God Save the Queen gets its arse kicked by everyone, even when it’s not being played by that awful brass band.

Tone-deaf europop starlets in strange couture with pompous backing track vs a capella with the soul hand? It's like Gerrard one-on-one with a goalie: someone is getting torched.

It's one current global Empire playing one former global Empire all Umpired by a representative from one of the first Western Empires. All we need is a Roman to round it out...but I guess he's back in the (former) Evil Empire monitoring his Oil Empire." Needless to say it was not printed...
