Why does England say it’s coming home when they didn’t start fifa. Are they saying they want France to win the World Cup?
>>155581549England is the creatorFifa is a business; like walmart, circle K, 7/11
>>155581549Germans invented the automobile but the FIA is French based as well. Basing these orgs in France was popular back then for some reason.
>>155581579People have been kicking a ball around for thousands of years now
>>155581595because pre-ww2 Paris was considered the number 1 city in Europe and therefore the world
I always assumed they meant bringing home the WC trophy, as in they won it all. That's what the song seems to imply considering it's about supporting a team that hasnt won the finals since what, the 60s?
>>155581549>Why does England say it’s coming homebecause those are the lyrics to the song mate
Look up Cambridge Rules.
>>155581603The previous version of “football” was a mix of rugby and football where you could use your hands like you see in Ancient Greece and China. The Cambridge rules and later the FA rules (both happened in England) are what created modern football you see today where they banned the uses of hands and introduced throw ins and corners
>>155581603The FA was the first organisation that codified the rules of what we now call association football
>>155582975Mob football.
>>155581595>for some reasonOlympics - you needed international governing and ruling bodies for each sport, so they were all created at the end of the 19th century/beginning of the 20th century (if there was none).Rowing (founded before the Olympics) is Italian by the way, and like most of them is now headquartered in Switzerland.
>>155581595They had good diplomats and by being the founder or a founding member you can guarantee the space for your language, career jobs, and influence
>>155581549There are some sudaca teams and a bit of France in CONCACAF? I had no idea.
>>155581595The chess org, FIDE I think is French as well.
>>155581549The song was written ahead of Euro 1996 which was hosted in England.The popular interpretation about it being an arrogant call for a trophy to "come home" is wrong, because the lyrics of the song are saying the same thing that ABEs everywhere think they came up with independently.>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>So many jokes, so many sneers>But all those "Oh, so near"s wear you down through the yearsSadly even normies here think "it's coming home" is referring to a trophy. 1996 was just a year where England hosted a major football tournament and Britpop was at its cultural height.
>>155582269>>155584540The tagline for the whole fucking tournament was Football Comes Home
>>155582236New York was mogging it by the mid-20s.
