World Cup of Anthems: Week 25
Kung Fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene..

Good group!
Croatia and Chile are excellent.
Also like Nauru - short and inspiring and the orchestral version of the Netherlands' anthem helped to overcome it's salute to royalty
Malaysia and Iran were instantly forgotten and Hungary's built up but didn't have a good payoff.
And Honduras' is really odd - most of the anthem is a summation of the symbolism of the flag and the coat of arms. Like the lyricist didn't do any work until just before the deadline and then simply wrote about what he saw.

i find i'm getting far more selective now that it counts, dammit
(looks like i'm in the minority not being a Chile fan)
