All over before it started

After that England-Montenegro game, there is time now for some sober reflection on the issues, the most pressing of which is:

The national anthems.

Montenegro's... a belter! It sounded like the soundtrack to a Hollywood thriller about espionage. A shame, of course that it couldn't have been played by Hugo Montenegro and his Orchestra. (That reference may not mean much to the younger reader, whoever he or she might be.)

And what did we have?  As usual, the dirge about God saving our gracious queen. What a bunch of crap. No wonder our gallant boys sometimes struggle a bit for inspiration.
