It was the song for the European Championships hosted by England in 1996 but brought them no luck on the field, yet that hasn’t stopped it from being sung across the nation during this World Cup.

England have landed in the more favourable side of the draw, after getting beaten by Belgium in their final group game.

And as the Three Lions over came Colombia on penalties and then Sweden by an easy 2-0 scoreline the chant has been popping up more and more.

An IKEA store was invaded by a chorus of the Baddiel and Skinner anthem and Gareth Southgate even conducted the fans in Russia after securing his sides place in the last four.

A few cheeky English lads who came over to Ireland over the weekend even thought they’d give it a go in Irish, asking the locals for a translation.

You can bet who ever fed them the words as Gaeilge might have a bit of Nationalism in their blood, as the unsuspecting group ended up chanting that old IRA slogan ‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’ – our day will come.

The four lads, described as ‘English blokes/tourists in Dublin asked a local what’s ‘It’s coming home’ in Irish.’

Needless to say if they ever realise what they are actually saying, it could be a while before they ask for another translation of the annoying song.
