This almost makes you wish Team Europe or Team North America wins the World Cup.
Team Europe is expected to have an "anthem" at the World Cup. Something instrumental with no words. The team's players span eight countries.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said back in March that no national anthems will be played before tournament games.
However, Daly also mentioned anthems will still be utilized "when something is won from a tournament perspective," and the two continental teams will have their own original anthems for such an occasion.
