I think the point of the song was initially about the tournament being held in England. Strange to think that it has been as long since the song was released as the song itself was from '66 but every tournament since it has resulted in some fan boldly proclaiming on a radio phone in or TV vox pop that it's coming home.

The song is from the Euros, 1996.

Yes, I know - 1996 was 30 years after 1966 and 2016 is 30 years after 1996.

That is a scary thought!
I just wish the song was sung in hope (as it was written) rather than expectation.

The correct answer to any football song musings will always be Dario G's "Carnaval de Paris".

Leaving aside your rather pathetic "Yeahbut"ing, it's pretty obvious why noone is doing this for Scotland, you spong.

I haven't seen a single one attached to a car yet. This is unprecedented in our ~20 years in this town.
(Sadly there's still a few attached to lamposts)
Good question!

An ITV commentator has just referred to Boston being in the state of New England.

Scotland only had 89 minutes to hold out for the draw.

Well, I suppose as it is a city within the region of New England you could be generous and say they were partially correct!

I suppose it's no worse than thinking the West Indies is a country.
