Be great to hear God save the queen belted out at Sol, prior to kick off , for this great day. Would really whip up the crowd.
Similar to the experience we all enjoyed prior to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 games at last World Cup.

I don’t get the big deal to be honest. The Scots and Welsh don’t particularly celebrate their days either. St Patrick’s Day only became so popular due to the big American celebrations by (originally) Irish immigrants and latched onto by a certain brewer.
Welsh do, or at least they do were my Mrs is from
 
I was watching the Gazza documentary and was interested to note how many union flags there were in the English crowds at Italia 90. Fast forward 6 years to the euros and it was all flags of St George and it has stayed as such.

I remember the Union flag would always take precedence over the St George flag until relatively recently.
