Remember my observational post about the flags of different nations - the misleadingly titled Embassy Club?
Well watching the World Cup has led me to believe that there's a connection between the National Anthem of a country and its position in the league of nations.
ie the lower the list you are, the greater the speed of your national anthem.
Compare the dirge-like God Save the Queen to the Uruguayan anthem
Interestingly there seemed to be a connection between the way the teams played after the anthem. Uruguay and Chile were like a swarm of cartoon bees alll over the pitch whereas England appeared like a herd of grazing cows after God saving the Queen.
