England - the future....

[NathStPaul]

Both versions?

Which version do you favour? Always thought the second one was a bit weak.

'96 version, obviously.

The video of '98 version is better, imo.

You're forgetting the 2010 version with the opera singer and Robbie Williams.

I didn't know about this until now and I was happier before I knew.

Wonder who gets all the royalty money from the song? Bet you Ian Brodie pockets all the money.

Baddiel said that during the 2018 WC the 3 of them earned £900 in royalties to be split between them. Though in pre internet 1996 the 3 of them earned £35k each from it.

Jeez, seems very harsh on them.

So streamed about 27,000,000 times on Spotify then.

To keep up my streak of being wrong with every prediction I have made, (besides predicting Italy to win it a month before the tournament) I am predicting Denmark 2 England 1.

Gonna be weird sat at home watching a semi final. With such a weird 18 months me and my mates just haven't really got on top of meeting up and booking tables. Or planning of any sort

Workmate told me yesterday that one of his friends, when drunk after the last game, invited 12 of them round his for the semi. Once sober, and having spoken to his pregnant wife, he messaged them all saying they need to take an LFT before arriving and need to show photo proof of it being negative. They need to bring cans & bottles as drinks glasses won't be provided, but a bin bag will to put empties straight into, and windows must be open at all times when they are there.

[NathStPaul]

Cool as a cucumber. Confident.

Can see this going all the way to penalties for some reason - Denmark have really impressed so far this tournament

Looking like the same team as Saturday night but with Saka in for Sancho which I guess makes sense given how well Saka was playing before his knock

[AthleticoSpizz]

Seen it all before etc etc....que sera sera

Liking Saka starting again, think he’s been brilliant.

Who gave them permission to nick our song?

Baddiell has the original napkin with the lyrics him and Skinner wrote, so likely he gets a share at least

[AthleticoSpizz]

Do you get royalties from a crowd singing it on tv etc?

The original played from the tannoys, obviously a yes.

[fartdad]

I’m rooting for Denmark just because I can’t imagine not having three lions playing every time England gets out of the group stages
