In 2016 England lost to Iceland in the 1/8. If I were the English team, I would approach every match seriously, knowing their recent history.

Lets put it this way Slovakia has a better chance of beating England than Georgia has of beating Spain.

Maybe in Hockey (the one played on ice) but this is football, it is their game. We are already super happy to be there, that´s already enough what we could have wished

No sane English person is looking past Slovakia. Those newspaper headlines are from tabloid newspapers, who will be the first to turn on the England team when they lose. They are trash.

 

As for the "Football's Coming Home" thing, it was partially a play on words because Euro 96 was held in England (the "home" of the game).

 

And it is a song about hope in the face of defeat, not an arrogant assumption that we'll win. It's weird that it's become part of the idea that the English are more arrogant than everyone else.

They don't do irony in Europe clearly.
