Division One action yesterday, once I finally found the bloody stadium. The game had been moved to Ramkamheng because of the flooding that had effected Air Force's usual stadium but was the stadium easy to find? Was it bollocks. Every bugger I asked either knew nothing about it or pointed me unhelpfully to Rajamangala which is nearby.

In recent years, there has been a constant trickle of players from Northern Ireland switching allegiances to the Republic, including Manchester United's Darron Gibson and Stoke City's Marc Wilson. Now, Northern Ireland legend Gerry Armstrong, who is currently the Irish FA's 'elite player mentor', has suggested that ditching 'God Save The Queen' could entice more players from the country's nationalist background to play for the North.

Why the FA should be applauded for poppy efforts

Fifa, yet again, has proved itself incapable of valuing anything except financial gain in its refusal to allow England to wear a poppy emblem against Spain on Saturday. At least the FA did what they could. England will wear poppies on their training tops while the anthems are played, a wreath will be laid and a poppy emblem will appear on the scoreboard.

Perhaps best left in the hands of pop culture or professional music critics rather than some stodgy old football blog, it still bears mentioning that today would have been Farrokh Bulsara's 65th birthday. Or course, we knew him better as Freddie Mercury, the original front man for Queen, who died from complications due to HIV/AIDS in 1991.

England football team 'could be forced to wear EU flag' Telegraph.

Apparently, the winds of change are blowing through the halls of European governments today with regard to presenting a more unified stance for sports teams who perform in a European setting.

Plans are afoot from some dumbass Spanish politician to mandate that an EU symbol or flag be present on every shirt or uniform of EVERY European country.

Woah, that's embarrassing. The sound failed, and now there are no anthems. So much for tradition.

Brazil! They did open the World Cup with a win, but it wasn't particularly impressive over Australia, only one goal scored in the match. Norway is expected to be a tougher opponent, though many have tipped Australia and Brazil as the two teams to advance.
Anthems. Brazil's is peppy, Norway's is somber.

Of course I'm a Celtic fan and this is our song.
But anyone at the Socceroos v Uruguay game and indeed watching the Brisbane Roar game on the weekend will know that this song can work in Australia as well.
So many fans in Australia want their own song, their own anthem, after six seasons, few clubs it seems has one, one that any fan can join in.
