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.

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.
