JAKARTA - Tim nasional Inggris kian dekat mewujudkan slogan Football is Coming Home. Apa itu?

Para pendukung The Three Lions kerap kali menggaungkan kalimat ini setiap kali skuat kebanggaan mereka tampil dalam kejuaraan besar seperti Euro (Piala Eropa) atau Piala Dunia.

Football is Coming Home merupakan penggalan lirik dari lagu berjudul Three Lions yang dinyanyikan The Lighting Seeds bersama David Baddiel dan Frank Skinner. 

Awalnya, lagu ini diciptakan untuk menyemangati timnas Inggris yang akan berlaga dalam Piala Eropa 1996.

Namun, pada Piala Dunia 2018 di Rusia lagu ini sering berkumandang seiring melajunya tim asuhan Gareth Southgate ke semifinal sebelum disingkirkan tuan rumah.

Pada Euro 2020, Harry Kane dkk sukses melaju ke partai puncak usai mengalahkan Denmark dengan skor 1-0.

Ini merupakan final perdana mereka di ajang Euro sekaligus partai puncak pertama mereka di turnamen bergengsi sejak menjuarai Piala Dunia 1966.

Akankah sepak bola pulang ke rumah? Jawabannya ada pada Minggu, 11 Juli usai Inggris menghadapi Italia di Stadion Wembley.

Buat para penggemar timnas Inggris. Berikut kami berikan lirik lagu Three Lions agar bisa ikut melontarkan slogan Football is Coming Home saat tim kesayangan kalian menghadapi Gli Azzurri.

Three Lions

It's coming home

It's coming home

It's coming

Football's coming home (we'll go 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-nears

Wear you down

Through the years

But I still see that tackle by Moore

And when Linekar 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

(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

Football's coming home

It's coming home

It's coming home

It's coming

Football's coming home (England has done it)

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

Three Lions on a shirt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home, it's coming home)

Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)

Three Lions on a shirt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home, it's coming home)

Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)

Three Lions on a shirt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Jules Rimet still gleaming (football's coming home, it's coming home)

Thirty years of hurt (it's coming home, it's coming)

Never stopped me dreaming (football's coming home)
