Chants

Stadium chants
on matchday.

Real fan chants for the national team — original, phonetic in Russian, translation and context.

Three Lions (It's Coming Home)
Three Lions on a shirt / It's coming home, it's coming home / Football's coming home
[Three Lions on a shirt / It's coming home / Football's coming home]
Three lions on the shirt / It's coming home — football's coming home

The Euro 1996 anthem, written by Baddiel, Skinner and the band Lightning Seeds. Since then — the main English football meme.

God Save the King
God save our gracious King / Long live our noble King
[God save our gracious King / Long live our noble King]
God save our gracious King

England's national anthem is sung before the match instead of a foreign greeting. Since 2022 — "King" instead of "Queen".

Sweet Caroline
Sweet Caroline / BAH BAH BAH
[Sweet Caroline / BA-BA-BA!]
Sweet Caroline (with mass "BA-BA-BA!" in the instrumental break)

A song by Neil Diamond (1969). Since Euro 2020 — the anthem of English fans, sung after victories.
