I wouldn't want to live in Uruguay

lauradi7dwbut I am envious of their flag and the sound of the national anthem (with its own orchestral overture).
Watching the beginning of the current World Cup match is what inspired me. I was listening to the recorded orchestra, thinking "how could you sing along to that?" when suddenly it got to the lyrics part and thousands burst into song. For today's broadcast, they seemed to have microphones near the players, who were singing at the top of their lungs, not mouthing the words as some teams do, and of course traveling from Uruguay to Brazil is easier than to South Africa, so imagine half the people in the stands singing as well, compared to this version from the 2010 world cup.
