    Well if you read the lyrics it's fairly easy
    "Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
    But then I know it's growing strong
    Was in the spring
    And spring became the summer
    Who'd have believed you'd come along"
    Who would have predicted England beat Germany, win 4-0 in a quarter final and make it to the final of the Euros a month ago? - "Who'd have believed you'd come along"
    "Good times never seemed so good
    I've been inclined
    To believe they never would"
    England fans never believed we would but they have.
    And when I hurt
    Hurting runs off my shoulders
    How can I hurt when holding you"

    Chris Powell a first team coach showed the players a clip of southend supporters singing it on the coach after yet another defeat in 2018 when Chris Powell was southend manager. Its on you tube. He kept the video on his phone and showed the england players the passion of the fans even after relegation was looming. RON MARTIN OUT

    They're singing it because they heard northern ireland football fans singing it whilst at a match against them and they liked it. TH-cam "Norn iron sweet Caroline" and you see northern ireland football fans have used it for many many years. It's a good song.

      I do however find it ironic when you hear people claim “You copied it from Northern Ireland” or “you nicked it from Boxing fans” when in reality the Sox have been playing it as an anthem for 24 years (and I’m a NY Yankees fan, their biggest rival). Credit where credit is due.

      Yea I read that the red sox sang it for ages yesterday, it's a great song. Different ball game tho.
      The point I was making was that English football fans will have heard it blasting from Northern Ireland'S football grounds during friendly and competition matches when they were playing against us. Especially when we beat them 4 years ago. Google it. We changed the lyrics to "sweet norn iron" there's a big history with us singing it as our football anthem for many many years. TH-cam "sweet norn iron" like I say and you'll see the dates it goes back in Northern ireland football history.
      We adopted it as it inspires our team thru good and bad.
      They just copied us, plain and simple.
      No hatred tho, I'm glad they find inspiration from it :)
      But the English fans definitely got the inspiration of singing it from hearing our fans singing our lungs out at matches.
      Sure why not, it's a great song.

    What a load a rubbish. It’s not the anthem of England!! Anthem of the tournament? lol. You guys couldn’t have an original thought if your life depended on it. Still singing the same song thats 25 years out of date! Nobody has told me yet why football is coming home? England has never won the Euros. And the modern game was actually invented in Scotland 😂😂. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
