National Anthem? Any one will do.

Day -737. WorldCup2018‬

Ah well. It's just the wrong bit of music. Who really knows anyway? The people watching on TV? Nah? The fans in the stadium? It's in the US. They probably think the wrong music is all part of some "pre-game show".

Yesterday, before the Uruguay-Mexico match at the Copa America, as the teams lined up for the National Anthems, whoever's job it was to press "Uruguay" on the Anthem playlist hit "Chile" by mistake. Cue bemusement from the players as they readied themselves to belt out their favourite pre-match song. The organisers released a statement and apology today, blaming it on human error. Big discovery there, Sherlock. We didn't think a mouse had escaped from a testing lab, ran across the sound system, saw more coloured buttons to press and thought, "hmm, red looks good".

Now had this happened at the last World Cup in Brazil it wouldn't have been too much of a problem as the fans were always the choir that sang along, no music required.
