England may be getting rid of 'God Save the Queen' for sporting events

How do you Brits feel about this?

I'm all in favour of a change, it's probably the dullest national anthem I've heard. I wouldn't mind Jerusalem replacing it.

Honestly couldn't care less. Perhaps this sounds unpatriotic, but does anyone England actually know the words to this song?

Whatever the replacement happens to be will surely be better than the current anthem. Dull as dishwater and hardly the kind of sentiment I would be willing to belt out on the regular. Flower of Scotland is somewhat of an outdated sentiment as well but I at least enjoy it from a thematic perspective and it is a great song to hear rumbling through an arena.

I kind of wish us in the US would adopt this. Seems like such a waste of time. Nobodies patriotism should be measured because they sang a few lines.
