I'm watching some matches OnDemand right now, trying to work up the energy to go to the supermarket. I found myself wondering ... Are Americans not advised to sing our words when God Save the Queen is played at the beginning of the game? Sure sounded like people might be doing that ...

I'm pretty sure I heard fans singing the Americanized version before the Us vs Them match.

Maybe soccer players just not really conversant with the words of whatever national anthem is being played (including their own). Neither the Japanese team nor the Dutch team looked as if they knew their own national anthems, but some of the people in the stands obviously really knew their stuff and were clearly enthusiastic about it.
