Why do some of the England team try not to sing the national anthem, but still mouth it? I assume you are proud to represent England’.
This was supported by user Six9Giant, who said, βEngland Lionesses cannot be heard or seen singing our national anthem with any love or passion. Then the Colombian team and supporters can be heard singing their national anthem with courage and love.β
