[QUOTE="Rukhage, post: 763150, member: 73459"] Thanks for the explanation! I always wondered about this. Nevertheless I must say, though I don't speak Gaellic, I do like the cadence of Amhrann na bhFiann. The Argentine Anthem, the version you hear, is the shortened version, given that it's an anthem composed in the early 19th Century, it's way more long and bombastic (not exactly appropriate for a sporting event). That's why I've always liked the Marseillaise: short, enthralling and to the point. Something you can belt out easily (if you speak French of course). [/QUOTE]
