COME ON ENGLAND

When my Kent born mother was alive she would walk into the local pub where she worked proudly wearing the England Rose during a Wales v England Game to wind up the customers ;-) :-D:-D

So it's time to support my 44% England and North West Europe Genes side ;-)

Here come the Anthems

THE MEN ARE ON THE FIELD AND ARE MAKING A STAND AGAINST RACISM :-)

WHICH TEAM IS IN WITH A CHANCE OF WINNING THIS CHAMPIONSHIP?

Well so far, IRELAND is the top of the table with 14 points and 1 game left to play(this evening)
Next is now SCOTLAND with 14 points, but they have played all their games.
Then comes ENGLAND with 13 Points and FRANCE nipping at their heels also with 13 points but just behind on points difference.

SO THE NEXT 2 GAMES TODAY WILL DECIDE!:-)

Wales and Italy are out of the running! :-(

ITALY v ENGLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS

England are the visiting side today, so their anthem will be played first.
I don't think there is anyone in the UK that doesn't know the anthem, but in the interest of fairness;-), here's

ENGLAND ANTHEM ~ GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.


Then the Host Nation's Anthem

ITALY
IL CANTO DEGLI ITALIANI

Fratelli d'Italia
L'Italia s'è desta
Dell'elmo di Scipio
S'è cinta la testa
Dov'è la vittoria
Le porga la chioma
Chè schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò
Stringia moci a coorte
Siam pronti alla morte
Siam pronti alla morte
L'Italia chiamò
Hymn of Mameli

English Translation:
Italian Brothers,
Italy has awakened,
She has wreathed her head
With the helmet of Scipio.
Where is Victory?
She bows her head to you,
You, whom God created
As the slave of Rome.
Let us band together,
We are ready to die,
We are ready to die,
Italy has called us.
