The British singer who sang the Croatian anthem before last night's match accidentally sang 'My penis is a mountain'.........Tony Henry was trying to sing the national anthem in Croatian, but got the words wrong.
Fans say the mispronunciation helped the players relax before the game at Wembley as they realised England was not as " BIG" as they thought, Croatia is bigger (Croatia beat England 3-2)
The national anthem is written in old style Croatian, and there can be slightly different interpretations in English because it is a very lyrical language.
The line in which Henry slipped up should have been "mila kuda si planina" (You know my dear how we love your mountains).
But what he actually sang was "mila kura si planina" which means "My Dear, my penis is a mountain".
Croat players like Manchester City's Vedran Corluka and Arsenal target Luka Modric started looking at each other and grinning when they realised what he was singing. Did he peep into the locker room without them knowing. Was he singing this to any of the English players in particular? Or was he pre-empting what the FA Chairman was going to say to McClaren and Venables?
