Live and work in England. Not English. My team didn’t qualify for the World Cup so I’m supporting Scotland! Lobe a plucky underdog, have some Scots heritage ( and some English to be fair) plus I NEVER support English sports teams. EVER.
Football has inevitably come up in the office and several colleagues are generally pissed off that I’m not supporting England, insist I should be etc etc. Stupidly I mentioned that I never support England … did not gone down well.
If you live here then you should etc etc

YANBU - support who you like!
YABU - you ingrate, you live in the country you should support the national team.

Bit of an odd thing to do for a team and country you dislike stay up i mean.

It’s even stranger to live in that country for 30 years.

The ‘30 years of hurt’ line is now SIXTY years… but still it’s ’coming home’ is it?? 😅

Well if your still in England in 30 years it will be 60 years of saltyness and longing for a country just a little ferry ride over the water.

The lyrics in the song referrd to the fact that foootball was coming home as in the Euro 96 tornament was being hosted in England the country that nvented it and that it been 30 years since the 1966 world cup which was also hosted in England.
