(I think it's bad news for the English game)
(We're not creative enough and we're not positive enough)

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home

(we'll go on getting bad results)

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home

Everyone seems to know the score,
They've seen it all before
They just know, they're so sure
That England's gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away
But I know they can play,
'Cause I remember

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those "oh so near's"
Wear you down, through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored, Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

(England have done it! In the last minute of extra time!)
(What a save, Gordon Banks!)
(Good old England, England that couldn't play football)
(England have got it in the bag)

I know that was then, but it could be again..

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home

(England have done it)

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Footballs coming home *REPEATED IN BACKGROUND*

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Låt oss gå till Sverige!

Come on Zlatanless swedes, i never doubted you

it's definitely coming home. England wins this 3-0.

I wholeheartedly concur

DU GAMLA, DU FRIA, DU FJÄLLHÖGA NORD

Hope it’s cool me making the OP. BOIDS can feel free to make a better one if he wants.

(It’s coming home)

An irate Colombian friend of mine bet me $200 at evens that Sweden would advance.

I couldn't refuse that bet, because I understand as well as anybody that because it is coming home we will be beating Sweden on Saturday.

Haha a man after my own heart!

England are somewhere around 1.4 or 2/5 to advance, I have evens. I'm very happy with this decision.

At least if Sweden takes down this whole thing, we can say we were the only team to beat them

sorry to inform you but sweden wont take anything down because its coming home

Would like to offer a bet on what will happen first, Finland qualifying or England winning it, but sadly we'll both die of old age before the bet is settled

I’m with cruizn. Was leaning 2-0 but you’ve convinced me.

lol engerland

3-1 England.

"Your shiiit, but your wives are fit"

Sorry should have included this in the OP:

Putin and Mother Russia have hosted a fantastic tourney.

ole england!

no surprise that the historically brave and correct international posters have realised that its coming home, while the very poorly informed indeed lads eg el rata have not

ppl not yet decided on whether to back england should understand that no result other than it coming home will wind up the germans to distraction. if you need any additional reason, take a look in the mirror and carefully examine your priorities

I honestly can't decide if what started as me obviously joking with all the It's Coming Home (TM) has made me convinced we're actually going to win it or it's still a joke.
