The FA has quashed rumours claiming the anthem 'Three Lions' would be 'banned' for the World Cup in Qatar later this year. Reports had suggested Wembley chiefs were considering new options after deeming the iconic track to be 'too offensive' to other nations.
The news was not received well by England fans with the David Baddiel and Frank Skinner hit being a regular feature of every England campaign since its release ahead of Euro 96 - but foreign nations have criticised the perceived arrogance of its lyrics.
An early favourite to replace the song was Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' but the FA has made it clear there are currently no plans to do so, The Mirror reports.
