Comletly OT: What is your favorite natioal anthem ?

[oleg]

The build up to England-Turkey game is almost unbearable

I can almost see the N.A. playing. But, IMHO, neither is any good. Here is a question: excluding your national Anthem (for obvious reasons, which id the best ? Tune, liric, pride, etc.
I nominate

1. Italia - "italia errecta.. "
2. France - " we'll dreanch the fields with your blood" is perfect :}
3. USA. I just like it. I no longer live in USA but my heart still jump with the pride with "Can you .."
