Probably not, no. Bit awkward having a camera in your face when you are singing.
I don't really get why players are expected to sing it anyway, stand there respectfully when the song is playing should be enough. Terrible tune as well. [Post edited 8 Jun 13:31]

The more interesting question might be "Would you sing the national anthem if you played for your country?". |  |

No - absoutely not the current one.
Seeing as you've asked an inherently political question, I'm going to ignore your request for no extra comment,.
Why should I offer praise and deference to a secretive publicly-funded billionaire, purely on the basis of an accident of birth, and one of his distant ancestors being semi-decent in battle.
Hell, I wouldn't even be shaking the hands of any Royals during any pre-match meet and greet.
Give me a decent anthem, though, and I'll belt it out with gusto. |  |

No
(also, asking a political question but demanding nobody "turns it political"? OK...) |  | | |

Oh Bill you naughty boy. You knew you wouldn’t get just one eword answers, and this would turn out to be another contentious thread. | | | |

He's just trying to start arguments.
Asks a question with a clearly political undertone that he knows is likely to divide opinions on the forum then demands nobody makes it political.
It's incredibly transparent.

My point being it would show you which countries are more/ less likely to sing their national anthem. So, on your question alone we might find only 20% would and we might think that's low. But by asking my question and a subsequent question about their nationality - you'll actually have the context to place the 20% result in. | |

Nope
Although in other sports where we compete against other home nations we sing Jerusalem, and I would sing that |  | | |

No, but in reality the backlash that would be unleashed would mean maybe i would mime it
Easy to say No but you have to understand the consequences.
The best approach was the Asian guy (think it was a South Korean) who would stand in salute - always found that impressive. Although Iran have done it recently
Think for South Korea it's a requirement if the player is in active military duty |  |

I only posted this as I saw a lot people ( on Twitter) demanding the non singers to be dropped
Which is utter nonsense. If they don’t want to sing then don’t sing 🤷🏼♂️
It is interesting when nearly every England rugby player sings but the footballers don’t.
I can remember Rooney getting hassle because he didn’t sing. | |

Why on earth would anyone not sing the anthem of their country, when it is being played before a game?
Or do you mean because of the fact the TV can hear you sing, in that case, a more valid question.
If you are born and bred English, to not sing it should be a criminal offence. |  |

This.
I'm sure that's why most players don't sing it, rather than any deep political reasons. It's just a bit embarrassing. | | | |
