Flower of Scotland is awesome. Purely from hearing it at a packed Hampden Park. I have so much time for Scottish people.

Ahh man, there are so many.

The French anthem is great because it's a proper call to war; "To arms citizens, form up your batallions, march on, march on, so that their impure blood shall water our fields".

Ireland's Call is a good one too but a bit too manufactured, as, really, is Flower of Scotland, though that's a beautiful piece of music (just makes them seem like Jacks, stuck in the past). The real Irish national anthem, Amhrán na bhFiann, is a good one.

Fratelli d'Italia; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDSODVgw3zQ is one of the best tune wise, as is Brazil's; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta8JJtOFMLM

I like Portugal's as well; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN2t-0gjR_A&feature=related
and when there's 40,000 Croatians behind you, this can sound pretty special as well; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWMtENllfVM

When my mind goes wondering you might here me umming the Bahrainy anthem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApK65L-ZPq8
