In case you somehow haven’t heard, football is coming home.
Having grown accustomed to decades of underachievement and misery, football fans across England are starting to get carried away with the team’s performances in Russia.
Whenever a major tournament rolls around, Three Lions, the classic hit from David Baddiel and Frank Skinner always makes a comeback 22 years after its original release.
Summer anthem
This time, though, with the team actually performing well on the pitch, it has become the anthem of the summer, encapsulating the feelgood atmosphere sweeping the nation.
‘It’s coming home’ has become the go-to catchphrase for all England football fans, whether they are avid followers or Wolrd Cup tag-a-longs. It has genuinely had a unifying effect.
It's coming home.

On Spotify, Three Lions by Baddiel, Skinner and the Lightning Seeds, is up to seventh place in the United Kingdom viral top 50 chart.
Just imagine where in the charts it will be if Gareth Southgate and his squad go and beat Sweden in the quarter-finals or even reach the final itself?
Here are just a few of the best ‘It’s coming home’ tweets and memes.
