Easter Island

Whenever I watch a World Cup 2010 game, I pay close attention to the pre-game presentation of teams and playing and singing of national anthems. It gets on my nerves big time, when I see those overpaid young men lined up for the presentation, standing there with - in most cases - lifeless faces, indifferent to what is going on around, oblivious of the importance of their national teams being played and choosing not to sing (maybe they simply don't know the words of their national anthems?), while at the same time, team fans on the stands give their all singing their lungs out and doing whatever they can come up with in their ingenuity to emphasize their national pride and love of their country.
