    Why do they always play the British national anthem for England matches instead of land of hope and glory which is the English national anthem

    Really annoys me when people accuse players who don't sing of having no passion. I wouldn't sing it.

    Land of hope and glory isn't the English national anthem

    There is no English national anthem. The other home nations have elected to use their own but we don't have one. The exception is the commonwealth games but it isn't an official anthem

    If you can elect to use your own, and given our strong Yorkshire links in this squad, we ought to have Jilted John.
    And anyone who doesn't do the dance gets dropped.

    I’d only be happy if we sang the verse about smashing the Scots. Otherwise Jerusalem all day long.
