How embarrassing was it today when the England team sang God Save the Queen in Croke Park, the sacred home of Irish nationalism?
Surely today would have been an ideal time for England to find it's own anthem instead of using Britain's.My personal choice would be Jerusalem.
There is a No10 E-Petition submitted by Gareth Young:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to initiate a Parliamentary debate on the adoption of a national anthem for England that is distinct from the British national anthem.

There is also No10 E-Petition created by Robert Green (deadline to sign 05 August 2007):
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Change the English National Anthem to Jerusalem.
