who cares who wins?
this week France play England at Wembley. first time the score doesn't matter. It will be an opportunity to show we care for our neighbours across the channel. I think the mood in the stadium will clearly demonstrate that. for a brief time maybe europe will be as one.

I have to say as someone with no interest in sport, I never care who wins. But I'm sure this will be a clear demonstration of what unites our countries , rather than what divides us.
I'm looking forward to La Marseillaise ringing out with English accents across Wembley.
OH and I don't usually watch football - but this match will be on our tv.

Is there any better National anthem then the Marseillaise? It's easily the best in my opinion. Stirring and moving at the same time.

You're right Hosta. The similarities, not the differences, are what matter right now.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Ah, La Marseillaise...
The French national anthem by Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli & Le Quintette du Hot Club de France (1946).
Been my earworm for over ten years now. Enjoy!

I've just heard that the words to the Marseillaise will be shown on the big screens at Wembly so everyone can join in
