Row breaks out over German national anthem

BILD reveals which players sing and which stay silent

A row has broken out over whether Germany's World Cup stars should be forced to sing the national anthems before games.

All eyes will be on the players’ lips ahead of the last warm up against Bosnia on Thursday at 8.30pm. Just six players sang before the last international.

http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/PICTURES/sport/2010/06/2010-06-02-german-national-anthem-players-singing-loew/podolski-16345628-mfbq,templateId=renderScaled,property=Bild,height= 349.jpg<--- not German

Speaking to BILD, Franz Beckenbauer demanded: “All should be singing the anthem, it gives you quite a different attitude. I led the sing along in 1984 as team coach.”

But current German coach Jogi Loew - who said: "I like to sing the along to the anthem" – has refused to make it compulsory for his players.

Löw told BILD yesterday: "I spoke with some of the players about it recently. One thing is clear – we’re happy if as many players sing along as possible, but we won’t force anyone to do so.

Löw meant that many of his squad members were born in Germany but have roots in other countries, including Lukas Podolski whose family comes from Poland, Mesut Özil and Serdar Tasci (Turkey), Sami Khedira (Tunisia), Jerome Boateng (father from Ghana) or Dennis Aogo (father from Nigeria).

Their hearts also feel for another country – and so they pass on singing the anthem.

...

Khedira: "Everyone needs to decide for themselves.”

[This I agree with. It's a decision on whether you consider yourself a German or not. If not, you should not be on the team. It's that simple.]

Löw shows understanding. "Many were born in Germany, but their whole family was not. That can then be difficult for them with the anthem."

Per Mertesacker, a member of the player's council, said: "Everyone has to decide for himself. I always sing the anthem, it's an emotional moment.”

Thomas Müller: "I have always sung along. You should show involvement.”

Bastian Schweinsteiger: "I think it's important the fans sing the anthem too. It focuses me on the game. I’m proud to play for Germany.”

Well first of all, if taken to its logical conclusion, this would lead us to debate which topics are worthy of discussion, and which ones aren't, with only one, ostensibly the most important one of them all, remaining in the end.

Second, this is about a national sports team. A national sports team with foreigners in it is an oxymoron -- like a rectangular triangle or whatever. No, it isn't as serious as a terminal disease, but it still is an affront to common sense and to anyone who still thinks nation states mean something.

That the event is broadcast on television is incidental -- the stadium does not seat half a billion (or whatever) people. ;)

Who cares about who sings what national anthem? The England teams throughout the years have given us some great examples of Lions bursting lungs whilst wearing a football kit, to the lions wearing a football kit and saving the lungs for the 90mins plus ahead on the pitch.

To this day I will never forget the likes of Stuart Pearce or Tony Adams singing as if the Queen herself was watching ... although I could well expect they sang because their own mothers were watching, but not to matter. The men who sing the loudest are not often the ones with the greatest pride. Just as the loudest men are not often the ones you have to watch in a fight.

Those of our national team who don't want to sing should leave the team at once. Foreigners don't belong in our team. At least Klose sings the anthem even though he has some Silesian and Polish roots. But he's proud to be German. Podolski isn't. Remember World Cup 2006 when Podolski shot a goal against Poland and refused to rejoice over it.

Fortunately we have some good German-blooded players in our team: Neuer, Badstuber, Müller, Lahm, Mertesacker, Schweinsteiger, Friedrich, Jansen and Kießling. Most of them sing the anthem.

I think it should be expected from the players to sing their anthem. Especially in the case of Podolski as he can that way make his allegiance with Germany more firm, however that link does not appear to be as strong as it should be.

Sahson
06-06-2010, 05:54 PM
I think the case with podolski is he has a detached sense of pride with Germany, and is on the German team probably to gain greater success. I myself know what its like not to have a sense of pride.

I have very little sense of being British. I have a strong pride in the European Union, and associate to that more then UK. I envy people who do have that sense of pride and belonging though.

I agree it is nice to have a sense of belonging and pride. I remember when I was young, my school had this day called International Day, since my school had over 75 different nationalities. each classroom had a nation room.

I remember going to the Irish, Swiss, and French, and was intrigued by the culture. I have to say I don't have a sense of pride for the UK, and if I had a sense of pride for another nation, i would no doubt say I was from that nation instead. :)

I also think you would play better if your heart is filled with pride. Its not just another football club, its for country.

Exactly! There is some ambiguity in that. On one hand there is a lot of fuss about foreigners becoming/posing as rightful citizens too easily, but then ppl are getting pissed off if Podolski and co. does not sing the German anthem? WTH? Singing the national anthem is not some theatrical mask or a void gesture. Anthem should be respected and sung from the heart.

The whole mixing up of football and patriotism is ridiculous. McPatriotism for the masses.

People whose -isms are more important to them than centuries of tradition can take a running jump off the nearest cliff when it comes to such matters as national anthems. I'd change it, but it's not changed yet, so prigs can like it or lump it.

Whether they agree with the words or not, it is still the anthem of their nation.

In the commonwealth games the English team will now sing along to the hymn Jerusalem. Many wish for this to be the national anthem of England, but I do not because I don't want to sing about Jerusalem; I want to sing about my love for England ... but, if the song was to become the anthem of England I will sing it with just as much pride and passion.


Or can such people not rightfully be English?

Singing or not singing the national anthem does not define your national identity. Did I state that it did?

I'm completing a major History. However to be frank, if I ever went back home to England I would not receive all the beneficiaries of being British, in fact I'd have to pay international fees to go to university, despite being British.

Never the less I am aware of my history. my maternal side has been in Sheffield for a long time. I know of the kingdom of Jorvik, the celts, Queen mary of scots, King henry the VII, the hundred years war, and so on.

I specialize in South-East Asian, and Italian history though... The major factor is that I have lived in the UK for 3 years, and that was during my childhood, the rest I have spent living overseas.

You are standing on Anglicised soil right now. Just because the political situation has shifted, this is still not changed. Whatever it was that was IN those Englishmen that achieved that, is not totally lost today. The 'raw materials' are still here. We just await, and strive for, better circumstances.

THe whole world wears our national costumes. And if anyone can sum up their national pride in a few offhand sentences on an internet forum, I'd be suspicious of the true depth of his feeling. THis isn't something easily put into words - it should be deeply visceral.

Perhaps it would be best after all, if you just concentrated on being the best damn AUSTRALIAN you can be, if you don't feel it. Perhaps your kids will feel differently. :shrug:

You seem to be a little confused, one minute you mention Britain as a sterile, cultureless entity. On the other hand you assume that England is Britain. You're mistaken on both accounts, there's a huge amount of culture in all parts of Britain, it's just that you've never looked.

English National Dress (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2902)

The above is only a proposed costume with which to adopt. Whilst the English do not have a national costume as such, they certainly have created and exported many costumes. An example being the kilt now beloved by the Scottish.

The English have always been a regional grouping of people, and this is displayed by the myriad of county folk costumes.

A few examples would be London with its Pearly Kings and Queens.

If I had enough money to be an eccentric rather than a weirdo I would dress like that or in tweed, probably have an iron brim fitted into the bowler like Odd Job in the filem.

With the English universally despised and ridiculed (mostly by other Englishmen) we have the benefit that no sod ever saw a money making opportunity in Englishness, meaning that those with an interest in English folklore can arrive at more organic structures.

Back on the topic if it was God Save the Queen I could well understand, utter dross and likely to send anyone to sleep, probably the reason England are so crap at football, we are that numbed by listening to that dribble. If it was me I would have Land of Hope and Glory or I Vow to Thee My Country.

Such thinking is wrong and sounds just like an other bad joke of yours. To be able to play for the German team you need a German passport. To gain the German passport you have to plead allegiance on your new home country. That's the act of naturalization.

People who don't feel and think German don't deserve to play in our team. Truth be told, I'd kick them out. All of them. Better losing in the quarter finals with an all German team than winning the World Cup with pathetic immigrants like Podolski. But the fact remains that the majority of the German starting line-up is biologically German. We don't have French circumstances.

Well... Having German ancestry is nothing extraordinary in Silesia. In fact a certain proportion of all Poles had a few Germans in their pedigrees. Anyway, he said he is careful and would not like to be considered as either German or just Polish. He also said that choosing German representation at the cost of Polish was a "hard decision that took lot of time", however German team made it "easier to achieve better results, which would have been harder with the Polish team"... I guess he is a good example of people born in mixed Silesia, although he's definitely leaning more to German identity than Podolski.

The Dutch will fail before they meet the German team. :wink Robben is injured, no one knows if he can play. And even if he can play he won't reach 100% of his performance.

Germany is a Turniermannschaft. We don't have excellent superstars or technical geniuses. Other teams are better on an individual level (Argentinia, Italy) but we always compensate that with Kampfgeist/fighting spirit, determination and penalty shoot-outs.

German wine and German song! :|

Third stanza
(Germany's National Anthem) Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland. :|

Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland!
For these let us all strive
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune;
|: Flourish in this fortune's blessing,
Flourish, German fatherland. :|




On 7 March 1990, months before reunification (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_reunification), the Constitutional Court declared only the third stanza of Hoffmann von Fallersleben's poem to be protected as a national anthem under criminal law; Section 90a of the Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch)) makes defamation of the national anthem a crime, but does not specify what the national anthem is.

He couldn't sing the national anthem out of pure stupidity anyway.

He's definitely more outspoken than Klose ;)

Once he claims he's Bulgarian (whom he's not), then Macedonian, then Serbian! WTF is he? Someone do a 23andme test on him ;)

23andme test no man he needs to see a psychologist thats the only thing to help him haha

But seriously i dont think gene testing would help as all three are way to similar he could claim to be any of them even with a test.

That's if he actually IS one of those three and not for instance... a Pygmy.
