check on youtube: BBC Review of World Cup Italia '90 (uploaded by VideotapeFTW), forward to 40:26, check the German WC song...never mind world cup song, that's the best song ever!
I like he changed it to all these years of hurt and not 30. Since it’s 56 for the men. Shout out the Women’s football Team for bringing the Euros home.
Lmao, there are U21 sides in League One that could beat the England women's team. Anyone who thinks women's football is a good quality sport is deluded.
When it was just Ian and the fans it was magnificent. I'm a big old lump, ex roadie for heavy metal bands and one who always stated after he named his band, “...and we play rock & roll!” I'm still a biker 6ft 2" 220lbs well into my 60s now and I had tears running down my cheeks. Such a passionate song. A really English song. Who said English people don't show their emotions. Not that my bio is relative to my getting emotional but to look at me you would not picture it. Thank you so much for posting up this terrific video. It looks like a great time was had by all.
Remember the Italians saying it inspired them to beat England in the 2021 final. Remember the Croatians saying it inspired them to beat England in the 2018 semi-final. Remember the Germans singing it at Wembley after winning Euro96 after beating England in the semis.
Still such a great song, even though it hasn't been fulfilled yet. I'm not even a Brit, but that chorus still gets me hyped. While I'd love to see my own country (USA) win the World Cup in my lifetime, I wouldn't even be mad if England won it in 2026.
The Song was about the Euros in 1996 being hosted in England…the last time England hosted a major tournament was in 1966. Therefore football coming home was a major tournament coming home…. But what seems to have happened is that people think it means the trophy is coming home!?!?!??
pretty sure the fact they released it again in 98, 2000 & 22 when we weren't hosting the tournament shows that the song was more than merely about hosting the tournament, it is about dreaming of winning.
@@Mister_JOC Agreed and adding to this England invented football therefore the tournament was coming home. Now we talk about the trophy coming home as in the game is coming back to its original starting place.
@@hutch7802 I’m an England fan and I get it. I agree and love it… I’m responding to non English fans that only see the one perspective…. Nothing is black and white…. Come on England
96 official song for England, 98 lyrics changed with the sounds from Euro 96 and was a reflection of getting to 98 World Cup… trying to make sure non England fans get the perspective. It is an England Song of hope with Football (yes the trophy coming home). I was talking about the 96 version original. In the 98 version I love the line “and Psycho Screaming” with Stuart Pearce memory of him scoring the penalty against Spain in the QF…. Anyway. Come on England.
I feel I should point out this each time anyone says this because it bugs me how everyone has got it misinterpreted - the phrase "Football's coming home" was the slogan for Euro 96 and refers to the fact the tournament was held in England, the "home of football". It has nothing to do with England winning anything and no-one ever said this, not Baddiel and Skinner, not the fans who started singing at the stadium. It was just a nice nostalgic thing about a football tournament being played in England, when the last time there was a tournament in 66, England did win it. I actually hate everyone now going "do you think it's coming home?" because it's another albatross and yet another opportunity for other supporters to have a cheap shot.
@@danbreen6946 I meant at the time of the 96 Euros the last time a tournament was held in England it was won by England, which was why the song was nostalgic.
@@Firemansamfan1 people saying it's coming home or it's not coming home, was never about England winning it was about hosting...oh never mind I give up.
Still annoys me that people think the 3 Lions are English, far from it, they are French. Originally leopards. The 3rd lion is a nod to Richard the Lion Heart, born in Oxford, but could not speak any English, son of Elinor of Aquatone, king of Normandy and Aquatone, Grhh homage to the French
