    Is this really going to be the talking point? I doubt Sven or Capello sang it with gusto and did anyone care?

    I never sing it either but it doesn’t make me any less passionate about my country or it’s football team than those that do, it’s just a matter of choice.

    Agree with both sentiments. It’s just culture war rubbish

    I do like the French anthem, can’t beat a bit of a revolutionary singalong.

    I think it’s a dirge, can’t be surprised if someone doesn’t want to sing it.
