Anthem

A crowd in Buffalo, New York, broke into loud cheers during the playing of 'O Canada' before a hockey game, a notable moment given ongoing tensions between the United States and Canada. Clips of the gesture spread quickly online, with many praising the display of goodwill toward the neighbouring country while others debated the political overtones of anthem reactions at sports events.

A photographer has shared images of mushrooms, nicknamed 'silent philosophers of the forest', captioned with Liverpool's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and set to the mood of Jean-Jacques Goldman's music. The post describes a calm, almost mystical woodland atmosphere with a touch of melancholy, blending nature photography with football culture in an unexpected mix.
