Mkbw50 414 Posted July 27, 2022 #141 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yeah, the song kind of changed meaning to 'England are gonna win it' After the WC 2018 and Euro 2020, where England (men) did well (but didn't win), columnists liked to say that despite not winning, football did come home after all, because England "captured the mood of the nation" and people "fell back in love with England" and so on. Retrospectives of Euro 96 will often have titles like 'the summer football came home'. The phrase is quite ubiquitous now, and the song is only ruined because David Baddiel is in it and he's a bit of an arse As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 4,177 Posted July 27, 2022 #143 Share Posted July 27, 2022 What are the odds the totally overrated Syephanie Frappart gets the final appointement? They should really give it to Monzul tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
