Singing the National Anthem

The national anthems for both countries are played, creating special a moment for players and fans coming together before the start of every World Cup match. Letting their opponent know they are ready to win the game. This side of soccer may not be for everyone, but witnessing raw emotion from everyone singing along gives the body goosebumps.

For players, having the opportunity to sing their country’s anthem is a moment they will never forget. The gigantic roar of the crowd can leave a player filled with emotions. Many players do not get the opportunity to represent their nation at a World Cup. For many players, it can be the first and only time they will ever get to experience this monumental moment.

I have had dreams that I was playing for Mexico in the World Cup, and I was on the pitch singing along to the national anthem. I know it is a feeling that is indescribable. I hope once in my lifetime I can get the opportunity to see this with my own eyes.
