To think it’s coming home

[Ostryga]

I mean, I definitely am

But 4-0 in a quarter and no goals conceded?

There’s a little glimmer! (I know MN hates football, but just this one time!)

@Fluellablue

I am worried that my 8 and 7 year old are being misled into thinking that this kind of euphoria is what watching England is typically like! How can I adequately prepare them for a lifetime of disappointment when England are playing like they did tonight?!

Show them the 96 penalties

@BakedTattie

Ffs

What?

Let's hope so 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I literally have no idea what that song is. Where my son goes I follow

I'm happy for the team just hate the mentality in the UK. Domestic abuse rises by 50% when England play so I can't fall in love with it and wholehearted support it.

@girlmom21 Oh god, I remember crying watching the 96 penalties, still living at home with my mum and dad.
I want to prepare them, not break them 😂!

Hope so

England couldn't beat Scotland
Beat a very poor Germany side
And 4-0 was against Ukraine.

No chance will they win when they're up against Italy or Spain

Good to see, come on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

😂😂😂 I'm too young to remember them in real time but I've watched them so many times. I feel the same level of devastation every time 🙈

Savour this moment 😁. So refreshing to watch England and be stress free for a change!

Denmark are set up for another fairy tale.

Italy are their usual blend of bus parking and flair

Spain can pass anyone off the park.

On the other hand. Yes, it absolutely is.

I feel like what did I just watch? England attacking & scoring in a major match!!!

Is it really coming home or is it going to get a kebab and pass out on a park bench somewhere as usual?

@YesPleaseMary

Is it really coming home or is it going to get a kebab and pass out on a park bench somewhere as usual?

Why not both?

🤣🤣

Just what we need as a nation is for it too come home morale is beyond low here and being in the final would really boost the country on a whole but who knows. Right now they look strong and the whole squad are talking positive so let's keep everything crossed for Wednesday......... it's coming home......... it's coming home...........

So boring, rugby beats it every time

Yes it would really lift morale!

YANBU. I'm with Rio Ferdinand who just told Gary Linekar to be more optimistic

2 games away...and its at Wembley so huge advantage!! First Euro semi for 25 years..no goals conceded. No stupid moment.. its looking good..so no doubt something daft will happen but for now...

I’m happy for GS. He’s lovely! I hope they don’t tear him down if it all goes wrong... Enjoying this moment though!

Best chance in many years. Yes I think and I hope it's coming home.

Ignore the moaners on MN they love to moan.

Itália 90!

To cheer up the non football people who just cannot stay away:

"t's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs 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
Cos I remember

(chorus)
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
When your down, through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby dancing

(chorus)

I know that was then
But it could be again

It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Footballs coming home"

If we don't win at least we enjoyed the tournament and played well.

At this point in '96 I was convinced it was coming home, so I'm really not sure.
