I know. I like doing the 'it's coming home' thing. I accept a lot of people misunderstand it, as I do the futility in trying to make them do so.
I have found peace and I believe others should follow.
It's not coming Rome.

It's kind of funny that the thread was created by an England fan to mock Italy, but it quickly got hijacked and now it's the let's laugh at England thread again.
Still less annoying than Danish fans, the England of Scandinavia
When it comes to football i wasnt born this way. The english football forum taught me all there is to know.
Serious
Am I missing something here though as I'm pretty sure no one outside England ever wanted them to win anything for years before that song came out.
People don't want England to win anything because the media is annoying and the English people are annoying.
No matter what you sing or don't sing it's not going to make you any less annoying to us.
I would have thought you would be used to it by now instead of getting triggered and looking for excuses.
Just own it you are an annoying country

It's coming home...it's coming home...
It's coming...
Football's coming home!
It's happening, we're winning the world cup lads.
cya Italy.

This. But they are too thick and arrogant to see this.
If they were winning stuff you would begrudgingly respect them but as it stands they win nothing, are bottlers and loudmouths on top of that.
England are the spurs of international football and their fans are Glastonspur if anything.

Exactly!
I'm loving all the butt hurt anti England comments and tears in here. They sound alot like the Liverpool fans of old.
Even though I’m delighted to see Italy eat some humble pie, I agree with this. The winners of the Euros should definitely get an automatic place in the World Cup.
Some would argue the Euros is harder to win than the World Cup simply because majority of the best teams in the world are in the Euros and potentially giving harder routes to win it.
Funny but if you ask any England fan if they'd rather win the Euros and get knocked out of WC qualification or lose the final and qualify for the WC only a nutter would choose the 2nd option.
This. The reason why England will never be an elite international team. The media celebrated an SF and Final as if they won both tournaments and made questioning Southgate treason.
In Italy, France, Spain , Germany etc they’d be critiquing why they lost to an inferior Croatia and why they threw it away against a beatable Italy. Blame was mostly down to Southgate he didn’t play to his teams attacking strength in those matches. Should really have been a WC final, with France most likely winning and Euro Winners.
The absolute cheek to compare England with united. When did you have the success of united to even have the audacity of making this comparison ? Bloody hell. Thicker than carragher’s spit. You lot are Glaston supporting spurs than united .Any which way it’s set up nice and early for Qatar.
Keep crying, I'm loving it
Any which way it’s set up nice and early for Qatar.

I'll be on a flight to India when England get knocked out!
And I'll be still singing 'it's coming home'!
England have finally won a major tournament. England's fans have screamed themselves into permanent vocal chord damage singing "It's Coming Home". Every social media outlet is being spammed with the out of context phrase "it's coming home". All the major UK tabloids have announced that football has come home (and also that Meghan Markle tried to stop it). Tory politicians have filmed themselves pretending to be football fans and declaring that football is indeed returning from whence it came, thanks to Brexit probably, and in an unsual move won't be immediately deported again. An additional Poppy day to commemorate the brave men who rescued football by bringing it home has been announced, along with James McClean's internment. James Corden is hosting a 24-hour celebration straight from Wembley Stadium, where the re-animated corpse of Captain Tom dances to an Ed Sheeran EDM remix of the song.
And amidst all of that, on Redcafe a poster types out "Obnoxious? Nah, you just don't get our subtle sense of humour. It's ironic. Like performance art."

you love to see it
God, it would be so great.
To be ignored one has to be relevant first. England only managed that in the past 3 years. Can't remember any other time other than '96 were anyone even cared about them in my life time.
But it doesn't matter, we'll laugh at England when it's appropriate. For now it's Italy's turn.
Lukaku isn't playing as well at Abraham did last year if you look at a mins to goal ratio, which is pretty much all you can do with Lukaku.
Crazy to see this happen after so many were playing very well, they went on that long run too leading into the Euros. Must be a real shame in Italy.
What was it, injuries, just bad form, tiredness after all that effort before or age catching up with some?

JUST READ THE LYRICS!!!
There's no question England had Italy on the ropes and took the foot of the gas.
Southgate deserves credit for a lot but he also deserves to held to account when he gets it wrong.
England's squad at the Euros was easily the strongest of any nation in the tournament but they played with underdog tactics, five at the back, shielded by two defensive midfielders is the tactics you employ when trying to frustrate a superior opponent.

5 pages already this is a meme thread
It's fair, we are the ugliest Scandinavians
Competition will be worse for it. Well done Macedonia.
I think hate word is being thrown here too easily as in other parts of internet of every day life.
Nobody 'hates' England. I can speak from my point of view, I always liked seeing England not doing well cause of the media and the hype that was around the team despite the fact they only won one world cup and really cant compare to the likes of Brasil, Italy, Germany or Argentina. It was always treated like a big gun in international football and regarded as one of the favourites in every competition although teams sometimes didnt track that. And its like that or was for majority of people who like seeing England not doing well. I for my part changed my view cause a friend of mine recently pointed to me that headlines of our newspaper were equally arrogant and obnoxious as English ones in the past and it treated every of our opponent as minnows who are going to be dealt with easily. It happened in 2018 when we were 2nd and it happened before.
Best part is English media is as sarcastic as fans about the team nowadays but I guess things from the past stuck to the anti-England camp like defenders of English team like to call them here. Or just haters. Also English is the universally speaking language in the world so people all over the world read English media and then come to the conclusion of it being arrogant without looking at their own backyard. Every media tends to be arrogant about their football team from time to time as the people themselves or like to go from being over enthusiastic do depressed and cynical. Same goes for fans of course.
Although I smiled when Italy won the world cup (also I like Italian team) I'm not so 'anyone but England' anymore although some of it, small part is still there. What I like about England team and English football in general is a culture in the sense that even clubs in League 3 or below have their own passionate supporters and energy. I remember celebrations from both Euros and world cup and it was wild, its whats football is all about. I was imagining what would happened if we won the World cup in 2018. Brrrr. Same would happen in England, whole country would stop for a month or 2 for a celebration.
Also one poster said everybody hates England which of course isnt true. I know people who like England and support them, some of them just to spite people who dont like English team and are passionate about it. Also had interesting talks with friends how can I be a fan of English team and dont like England team.
I dont mind the song, Its quite catchy actually.
Saying all that it will be funny if England doesnt win the WC in Qatar.

It's not Denmark's fault they ended up being the darlings of the tournament and battered Wales
Germany has 3 World cups in the last 50 years!
The tears in this thread are brilliant.
Lads it’s coming home.

Episodes all went our side at the Euro last year, episodes all went against us in this qualifying round… and we’re out again. Mind, it’s well deserved, and the Euro medal has been a miracle, really. Now, I’m going to write something unpopular but, you know, I’m neither looking for full understanding nor pity.
The Italian football is still paying the self-inflicted damage of the 2006 farcical Calciopoli scandal, which was only aimed at destroying Juventus, the only Italian club with the means and the will to operate at international level, in that making the best Italian youngsters grow while playing elite games.
Once the peasants dethroned their reviled dominus, the entire chain went down and crashed, so here we are. Screwing Juve is the best way for a parochial system to stay at parochial level, with Serie A now worth nothing and no Italian players used to compete at the highest level anymore: Verratti is our best player, and a semi-retired one in Paris if you consider his real level.
Add to this, the economical convenience of importing average and past-their-peak footballers from abroad (who pay very favorable tax income compared to residents), thanks to a loophole in a law designed to attract scientists and engineers… and no young Italian player is seeing real football anymore.
What will happen, now? Nothing. You are just seeing again just another smear campaign against Juve, in order to entertain and distract the plebs, while the usual parochial components of the system are safe on their seats. Shame on you, really… you are just really getting what you do deserve.

That's not that much of an indictment to be fair
It's not Denmark's fault they ended up being the darlings of the tournament and battered Wales
Battered is a strong word, battered is what happened to Denmark in the Swedish war of liberation
#comeonsweden #weloveyouGustav #Vestergaard sucks
I'm actually crying here. Poor Juventus.
I think it's most telling that in a thread that's supposed to make fun of Italians (and was created by an English poster?!) we had zero complaints from the Italians, but countless English fans close to tears. Some can take the banter, some just don't. It's sad.
