Swing Low Sweet Chariot, England vs. France

[FreddyParkin1]

Listen to that, a true nation supporting their team. TAKE THAT NEW ZEALAND

[bartvers]

how did you take your refrigirator to the stadium? :P

[Euclides287]

Fuck Stoke City!!

[PretentiousPainters]

Its great that the English and stuff are singing this but why, its not you national anthem is it.?? is it just a old song you were all bought up with or somthing.

[DoughnutMan01]

@PretentiousPainters English and stuff? urmm.. its just the English, and no 'God Save Our Queen' is however more people believe it should be Jerusalem, a old english hymn, as for swing low, its was what the ship mates sang when the took slaves over to america :)

[TheUSAisgreat]

@DoughnutMan01 Actually the slaves in America sang this as a code to the slaves escaping in the underground rail road. They gave messages through songs like this.

[HarryBodensson]

@TheUSAisgreat

The slaves sang it and the sailors picked it up and brought it home. I didn't think the original lyrics were in English though.

[TheEmospeeds666]

For the (Rugby) World Cup, this should be England's National Anthem.

[rugbyrobnumber5]

Lol can u send this slide show as an attachment to me please...

[weedhornjosh]

lol this song is Amercian not english

however i find it amazing that the whole world can enjoy it!!!!

[Borofalcon08]

@weedhornjosh Technically its not American, it was for the AFRICAN slaves that were in the states at the time for their search of Freedom so really its, African as they where African at the time and its' written in the English language so, :P and really, we could say the same about, 'Amazing Grace'

[bebomac5]

@Borofalcon08 The song was written at Fisk University, Nashville TN. (a mostly African American institution), in 1909, long after slavery. Btw, I'm African American, and I don't know where you got your history from! When I first heard English sports fans singing it, it was a little wierd, but kinda neat.

[adamdgriffiths]

11 people who disliked this are welsh.

[MrSammyboy2000]

[sonofboudicca]

@RiseeAgainst Das passt hier überhaupt nicht rein!

[666xXxSLAYERxXx666]

@RiseeAgainst Germany, Germany, germany... Lost 2 world wars?

[dennynua]

why are they singing an african slave song ???? makes absolutely no sense

[tonyoffpompey]

@dennynua n the 35-3 win, three of England's tries were scored by Chris Oti, a player who had made a reputation for himself that season as a speedster on the left wing. A group of boys from the Benedictine school Douai following a tradition at their school games sang Swing Low, Sweet Chariot whenever a try was scored. When Oti scored his second try, amused spectators standing close to the boys joined in, and when Oti scored his hat-trick the song was heard around the ground.

[gunner4life22214]

racist.

[dennynua]

haha your jokin rite

[dobz41]

i the english rugby national anthem you cock bag u dis the song u dis rugby an noone dissis rugby

[dennynua]

@dobz41 are you drunk or jus really really shit at spelling

[dobz41]

@dennynua is cald slang bitch

[dennynua]

@dobz41 so are you some american rapper bullshit when you spell like that you sound like a fuckin chav idiot fuckin hate people who talk like shitheads short hand spelling is alrite but come on

[flyman609]

@dobz41 called* and its slang the way you use the words not how you spell them ;)

[Ripstoneroses1]

i love rugby fans, there so proud, makes me feel good to be english this does.

[jinkedful]

this makes me so proud! fuck the haters, god bless england! pride, not shame!

[SuperTetos]

I love this song...

Greetings from France

[iEnglandUK]

@SuperTetos I'm glad you like it... you'll hear it again before, during and after the match when we knock you out of the Rugby World Cup, AGAIN, later this year :)

Greetings from England.

[psogpsog]

makes you proud to be english when you hear that in the stadium!

[gc207]

very very beautiful song !!! I love him (I'm french)

[tonyoffpompey]

"don';t you guys claim Norman?!" - what does that mean. And what does your post mean in general

[braders2324]

you cant buy players for any international sport! ha ha just because i said african american you assume he's foreign, he was black and he's family was foreign but he was born in England. thats coming from a ozzy ha

[tonyoffpompey]

I know how he might got confused mate. African-American is a Black American. So he prob thought you were saying he is American.

He was English but of African decent. We don';t really have a phrase like African-American. He is just an Englsihman who happens to be black. I suppose we could call him Anglo-African or something but it doesn't make sense. He is English and that's taht. If you need to describe him further then - yeah he's black too lol

[braders2324]

it was wrote but after it was passed down, also it was for african slaves forced to work by the yanks!! the English first used it in 1988 against Ireland when we where loosing 3-0 , in the 2nd half there was a player called Oti who was african-American and some started to sing it in his honour as he made 6 tries and we won 35-3

[Aerjas12]

What the hell is Soccer?

[LGFCRequiem]

Haha This is rugby for a start and The irish and Austrialians are shit at all sports

[krompir95]

@LGFCRequiem so that to a irish or scotish persons face, and then see when you wake up if you say it to a rugby player

[mikleman996]

ececpt they won all there match last years 6 nations

[tomhib01]

I was at twikenham watching england play australia. Sweet chariot is awesome there.

[nygeezy]

this song was not written by johnny cash nor any one american. it was a slave spiritual, which started on plantations. song was never written. it was passed down in the south

[caseyannrosier]

it was written by the legend johnny cash!!!!

amazing song,but ONLY the original :)

[stretty234]

the song wasntwritten by americans....thinking about what the lyrics mean it seems a strange choice for funerals (...or is it?)

[BlackangelCC]

its a negro spiritual (aka written by the black slaves in america) and the song would be a right choice for funerals because it can also be understood to mean carrying someone up to heaven (similar to mary's assumption

[meberic]

I heard the best rugby team are the Pumas... thats what I heard...

[Wapitup]

The song was adopted by England rugby fans on March 19, 1988, during a Five Nations match between England and Ireland.

At halftime England were 0-3 down. After the third of a second-half hat-trick of great tries by Chris Oti, the supporters sang spontaneously in celebration. England stormed home to win the game 35-3, and the song became the team's anthem.

[Wapitup]

can tell the person singing is french lol

UB40 sang this for the england 2003

[BernardProfitendieu]

this song is an American spiritual more suited to a funeral service than a Rugby match - very strange choice for the English Rugby Anthem (... or is it?)

[hockeyjp]

haha....chin up is all i need say. on eof the most well known 'anthem' songs in the world.

[BernardProfitendieu]

in the US it's only known as a funeral dirge

[BernardProfitendieu]

I guess rugby fans are too drunk to think about what the lyrics mean

[hockeyjp]

ha! ok, so now you're generalising...I wouldnt do that being an american, its just too easy...

[matt88rocks]

Hahahaha, its so tempting!

[gremlins6136]

i gota admit i'm english and my second favourite national team is the french, i know there's all the history but they're the only other northen hemisphere team who can stick it to the tri nation twats so i respect them.

[pt3g6op]

Woo i was there. You can hear me!

[pt3g6op]

I was replying to sirhill77, the french prick. IT was the french that neally died in concentration camps and us british that would fight to the death.

[pt3g6op]

Actually Hitler wanted to become allies with us, but wanted to get rid of the french. Ur ancestors neally got sent to concentration camps, and only because of us and the americans are the reason you are alive right now! So get your facts straight before you mouth off about my country, retard

[sirhill77]

And finally you agree with me when I said england IS the world's can!!! LOl

[sirhill77]

anakha6 screw you! I said my parents LEARNED me, not told me!!! Listen, you never saved MY ass, right? I guess you just don't know me! And finally, we probably won the good wars, I guess we still speak french in France? That's enough for me, bitches!!! And in WW2 you tryed to help us cause you were afraid they come in your ridiculous island! They didn't wan't it, they wanted the bast country in Europe : France! Fuck off btw...

[auto98]

by "tryed to help us" i assume you mean "liberated us"?

btw, another spelling mistake (tryed=tried) - i would really stop claiming that you have been taught english, cos you aren't very good at it.

[JPbeatlesGR]

ENGLAND!

xxxxxx

[sirhill77]

scott the gent I guess I can speak english, thanx! Can U just speak another language?

[sirhill77]

Who the fuck do you think you are? You make me so much laugh! Just keep tryin' to be like us, in France!!! Maybe oneday you'll be accepted in my country, but right now this is not the case bitches! My parents and grand parents learned me to hate ALL of you, just cause you're the earth's trash can...

[ScottTheGent]

The were obviously to busy teaching you jealous hatred. They should have 'learned' you to speak English!

[tb4911]

SirHill77, I don't recall us trying to be empty headed shitheads.

[Luwiigi]

what is that cheese eating surrender monkey you cant soeak proper english

[sirhill77]

Fucking english cunts, I were in your country last WE and it was so funny, I fucked some hoes aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the WE! Perhaps you english men hates us, but believe me, your wife, sister and mother don't!!! See you bitches!
