    Would have been more accurate if they'd sung 'it used to be Spanish, until Great Britain decided they wanted it, over 300 years ago'

    That would be a pain to fit the music.

    Wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't stolen the headland across the straits in Morocco where Nico Williams parents climbed over the fence to seek asylum on Spanish soil.

    If they'd also been singing give Villareal, Couto Misto and Olivera back to Portugal...I could have said fair play to em.

    Williams was born in Pamplona to Ghanaian parents, who travelled across the Sahara Desert to reach Melilla, a Spanish city in Northern Africa. His parents had been advised by an unidentified lawyer to claim to be from a war-torn country, namely Liberia where a civil war was occurring, when they first entered Spain.

    I’ve always thought it should be part of Spain geographically but then you could argue the same for Portugal. That happens to be a separate nation and Gib is British through and through so that’s how it will stay

    Technically/legally Gibraltar is British. So the Spanish players who were singing were factually incorrect. Mind you, all these people who sing 'its coming home' every tournament look equally silly.

    Is it? It’s nowhere near Britain. They wanted a passage to the med for naval superiority, so they invaded it. Just imagine if Spain decided tomorrow that they were going to invade the Isle of Wight, because they fancied access to the Channel.

    Edit….dunno what’s going on with the emojis!

    I dunno, a major 7th and a diminished chord and you could have a jazz hit on your hands.

    Ironic coming from a nation with Spain's genocidal conquistador and colonial history.

    If they want that back they have to agree to take Blackpool with it.
