I think that had a lot to do with Black Power. In the '36 Olympics, the Americans did the hat over the heart thingy, and were roundly booed by the Krauts. The Americans are, in general, a proud and patriotic people ... I won't deny that their drive to win is sometimes annoying, but, whether it is hockey or soccer, they show up to play; and they give everything they have.

She can't be as bad as the din from those blasted vuvuzelas.

noticed some of the Aussie players during their anthem also did the 'hand on heart' whilst others did (IMHO) the right thing .

Question for Aussie members of Accy web ....... do you or your family/friends do the 'hand on the heart' thing when your national anthem is played ?

Odd, those colonials.

Any Englishman knows that's the time for last minute mental preparation, basking in national pride, realising that you're one of the chosen ones...and for a last scratch of your balls.

Though there does seem to be about a six degree varience in an American salute.

Very sloppy.
