We asked England soccer fans to explain why they're saying 'it's coming home' and how the phenomenon has evolved during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
"Football's Coming Home" was originally a song by Baddiel, Skinner, and the Lightning Seeds that was made for the England football team during Euro 96.
