Pretty sure the lyric was a reference to England hosting Euro 96. Don't know why it's used now for them potentially winning a tournament, doesn't really make sense.

Silly.

 

[Virgil Hilts]

In the same way that Scotland is the home of golf, England is the home of football.

So for me when the biggest tournament in the continent is based there, football is effectively coming home.

At the time the song was penned, the misnomer was 30 years of hurt..

 

[Morelos20]

It’s getting out of control already ffs

Imagine firstly asking such a stupid question and secondly continuing with it.

Last night highlights of England and Ukraine at half time of a Euro’s semi final between Italy and Spain.

Hopefully Denmark end this coming home pish tonight.

 

[Davie2021]

Pretty funny from wee Shmeachieal to be fair there . Reporter on the back foot . Plus Denmark have won it

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

A lot of people are going to be in pain after tonight and then again this weekend.

England are winning Euro 2020.

 

[Mr Wilton]

It’s a catchy song the fans sing, the press asking questions in that context are asking as fans. The answer is spot on, they should be asking about Denmark’s preparations not about their thoughts on everything England.

I think England will be in the final, but I just think Italy will have too much for them on Sunday.

Brilliant by Schmeichel.

 

[DanEggenFanClub]

Don’t want to come across as an England hater because I’ve got no problem with them winning it, they have a really likeable squad of players this tournament and Southgate seems a nice guy. But %^*& me the media can be unbearable at times. What a stupid question, England is not the centre of the universe. The Danish or Italian players are not trying to stop England, they’re trying to win it for their own country.
Reminds me a bit of when some outlets would just focus on the whole “stopping the 10” thing rather than us winning 55.

 

[YOGI_GER]

I detest that song and always have

 

[Corkinator]

It’s times like that I wish I was still living in Scotland, to see the pain etched on the bigots faces!!!

 

[Virgil Hilts]

I detest that song and always have

World in motion blows it out the water.

 

[stein and johnston]

Even Ian Wright said what a stupid question, on ITV’s highlights last night.
Players and Southgate are coming across better than some of the media.
Having said that, England are winning this tournament. So everyone get prepared for the overkill

 

[Carson’s Army]

I always took the reference to mean it’s coming home to the birthplace of football

 

[robertobear]

They've played every game bar one at home so you could say its here already. What an advantage to have in any big tournament.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

The chief football writer at The Times hitting out with patter like that to a professional footballer is embarrassing on so many levels.

 

[Broom-loneranger]

Imagine the Danish media asking an England player what it would mean to them to stop Denmark winning the trophy? What a stupid arrogant question.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

The chief football writer at The Times hitting out with patter like that to a professional footballer is embarrassing on so many levels.

Exactly. The look on the players faces says it all. Schmeichel played it well.

It’s no wonder so many people always want England to get pumped when they continually come out with this rubbish.

 

[BagoBorealis]

A question like that to a Danish player comes across as pretty unprofessional.

 

[Ambiorix]

A nice illustration of what happens when you speak to someone outside your own little echo chamber. The reporter seems genuinely shocked that everyone's world doesn't revolve around England.

 

[GazzaG]

They've played every game bar one at home so you could say its here already. What an advantage to have in any big tournament.

Irelands fault that the Germany game was at Wembley, I think.

Sure it was meant to be in Dublin.

But there's arguments it was invented in Scotland

 

[german01]

rather have the "English Media" as to the republican shite and scottish nats that we face on a
daily basis

 

[First Touch In Europe]

I want England to win it but that question is embarrassing.

 

[Big Joke New]

World in motion blows it out the water.

It just doesn't.

Much as I can't stand the England football team and want them to lose nearly every time they play, this song (Three Lions) is an absolute cracker. I love the song and am happy to sing it any time. World in Motion was a decent song but I bet hardly anyone could remember most of the lyrics. That's what differentiates them.

 

[ICA_86]

Embarrassing that a grown man would ask that.

 

[EH47]

Oh no they ain't

 

[Coopers left foot.]

And why the hell not

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Oh no they ain't

They are mate. And I hope it sticks in every xenophobic Scots throats.

 

[Big Joke New]

But there's arguments it was invented in Scotland

I guarantee you someone in stone age times kicked a sheep's bladder out of the cave and got a high five from his neanderthal mate, but that doesn't make it football as we know it. You have to start somewhere and it's generally accepted it started in England. That's where the first recognised teams were founded.

 

[Big Joke New]

Think some people need to dry their eyes on here. I don't want England to win but would people be questioning the Scottish media if it was us asking a foreigner about things to do with the Scotland team? Or Rangers TV if we were playing Real Madrid in the CL semi-final? Of course not - so leave them to it - we'd do exactly the same.

 

[Tino_Col]

rather have the "English Media" as to the republican shite and scottish nats that we face on a

Don't throw quotation marks around like Neil Lennon mate. It's a bad look.

 

[andygray]

Exactly. The look on the players faces says it all. Schmeichel played it well.

It’s no wonder so many people always want England to get pumped when they continually come out with this rubbish.

It's definitely pushed me more towards the 'Mon the Denmark' camp

 

[londonbluenose]

Cant stand the arrogance.

Hope the Danes do it

 

[Big Joke New]

They are mate. And I hope it sticks in every xenophobic Scots throats.

BTW - there are plenty of xenophobic English too, and a lot of them around your way pal, so you might want to just think about that

You assume everyone is picking sides - It's ok to think all these things are tinpot and embarrassing.

At least that lot had won something for us to 'stop'. England have done nothing so far.

 

[tazzabear]

It’s getting out of control already ffs

Imagine firstly asking such a stupid question and secondly continuing with it.

Last night highlights of England and Ukraine at half time of a Euro’s semi final between Italy and Spain.

Hopefully Denmark end this coming home pish tonight.

Where is the oldest club in the world?
Where was the first league formed?
Where was the first cup competition played?
Thats what is meant by “home”.

I actually want England to win it now because they're the only home nation left.

This is one of the reasons I want England to win tonight.

 

[Thornliebank_Bear]

Oh hes gonna regret that comment !

 

[Craigste65]

It’s awful. The chorus is like something a child would write.

 

[andygray]

Where is the oldest club in the world?

Thats what is meant by “home”.

So England are just jolly well pleased that the semi's and final have come to the home of football ?
They have no expectation that England are bound to win it through any sense of entitlement?

 

[Gascoigne]

Fair play to Kasper, it was an awful question, Denmark have actually won the European Championship unlike England, it just sums up how the English media have covered the tournament as if the whole world revolves around them.

 

[Midfield General]

I detest that song and always have

Not having a go but I was wondering what it is about the song you detest?I think some of the lyrics are good but the chorus a bit repetitive.In fact with a few tweaks I could see it being belted out at Ibrox.

 

[GazzaG]

It just doesn't.

Much as I can't stand the England football team and want them to lose nearly every time they play, this song (Three Lions) is an absolute cracker. I love the song and am happy to sing it any time. World in Motion was a decent song but I bet hardly anyone could remember most of the lyrics. That's what differentiates them.

There's a reason Three Lions is still being played and sung so much 25 years from it's release.

Vindaloo was better than World In Motion.

 

[Rangerista]

A stupid question asked of Kasper Schmeichel and answered with the perfect reply.

 

[GazzaG]

It has been belted out at Ibrox
"The league flag's coming home"

Also got an airing at McDiarmid Park when bits of the piggery roof breaking off caused a game to be postponed.
"It's falling down, it's falling, parkheeds falling down"
