Playing the Israeli national anthem during a state visit from the Lebanese prime minister seems less than ideal, though 😬😄

On the other hand, this is fucking brilliant:

Sweden unexpectedly won the tournament against the Soviet Union, and the host country did not have a recording of their national anthem ready to play. The players agreed to sing the anthem in place of a recording, but as they did not know the full lyrics, they instead sang the drinking song "Helan Går".[6][7]
