Since it’s the World cup I thought I would learn the national anthem.
Yes I know it’s terrible I don’t know it, but I’m not the only one, most Brits don’t know the words either.
In the Football when England’s National anthem God Save the Queen is sung only the first verse is recited, but in fact there are 5 verses to the English National anthem, Who Know 
Here is God Save the Queen in it’s full glory, but for the football only the first verse is important.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and Glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
Oh, save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over
From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O’er her thine arm extend,
For Britain’s sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen.
