Hummmm…..i dont know what to say really because team europe have no anthem at all …i just try to imagine iff they win the tournement ….what will they play 5-5-7-8 different anthems or Nothing at all …..iff they play nothing …then it will be very Strange ….how about making a europe anthem ,,,and a north America anthem….then maybe one day South-east Asia Anthem …..ouffff …getting a bit complicated ….maybe just the Olympic would be enought …no more World Cup ..and rest all the Hawks players for another Stanley Cup ….Go Hawks Go
But do they have to stand? That’s what I thought this was about.
actually, an European hymn already exists for decades (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_of_Europe). As a German, I’m quite surprised, that they did not opt to choose this, but in Europe in general, it’s not a big deal, if s/o does not sing his national anthem, or he sits/knees while it plays.
