Why are the French and Argentinian rugby teams so rubbish at singing?

Question

Just heard them do their national anthems. Hope their rugby is better, maybe they need a little post match throat lubrication (beer) to sing properly.

Answer 1

Compared to football players, i think they did quite well, moreover the argentinian hymn is just a part of it , they don't put the whole hymn during ports events because i is too long ...like  minutes

Answer 2

I know why the french are, they have a frog in their throat.

Answer 3

who cares about singing???!!!

did you see the faces on each of the argentinian player before the match?

they were totally immersed in an atmosphere of their own, with their minds and hearts set on one single thing: winning.

They didn´t sing, they shouted their hearts out loud on to the french, to let them know they weren´t afraid, and that they were there to win.

So much strength, so much energy, all that expressed in that cry of emotion that the anthem was.

Who cares about singing? If Argentina´s rugby is that good when they sing like that, I can only hope they get worse and worse at singing as games go by.

Answer 4

In trying to understand why the French are poor singers, one must look far back at the historical record, with particular reference to the development of their language.

The French were one of the last peoples in Europe to develop a proper and cogent syntax, prior to which they relied on a system of Gallic honking noises.  At times of great emotion, they often still revert back to the old ways, which is why their collective singing sounds so poor.

Hope this is of some little help in answering your question.

Answer 5

Probably cos they're rugby players not choir boys.... I was impressed by their fervour if anything.

Answer 6

when you are about to dispute one of the most important matches of your life i don't think the most important thing on your mind is singing, or singing well for that matter.

if you were mature enough to realize this you would notice the emotion and the heart the players had. evidently you fail to see the mystic atmosphere around the game and around the sport of rugby in particular

Answer 7

your question is very stupid..!!

did you realise the emotion that the Argentinians sang their anthem with...?.

c'mon folk!!
