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.

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)
