England anthem Three Lions looks set to be banned at the next World Cup, according to The Sun, with the FA picking a different song to be played at matches - possibly Sweet Caroline. The paper claims discussions are now under way at FA headquarters over which song will be played ahead of England matches in Qatar, with the Euro 96 anthem Three Lions falling out of favour.
Critics dislike the song, claiming 'It's Coming Home' is arrogant. But fans have called for the song to be saved. Euro 96 hero Paul Gascoigne told The Sun: "That song is in our DNA. It helped us in 1996 and it’ll help the boys in Qatar. The FA have totally lost the plot.”
He added: “You can’t take that song off us. Sweet Caroline doesn’t come close. It would be like saying we can’t wave St George’s flags anymore. This woke nonsense has no place in football. It’s just a great song.
