You can’t even walk down the street without someone telling you it’s coming home these days and there really is a sense of optimism surrounding this England squad that I don’t really think many people in this country have ever felt before in their lifetime.

Of course, the iconic Three Lions song was performed by The Lightning Seeds (along with Baddiel and Skinner) and they were playing some gig in Sunderland over the weekend and decided to bust it out for old time’s sake. Not really sure how often The Lightning Seeds play these days or if it’s usually a part of their set or not (you would think it was but you never know with these ‘novelty songs’), but whatever the circumstances it does give you chills seeing them playing it right now:

Beautiful.

Reverend & The Makers were supporting them btw if you were wondering why the tweet came from them. Shout out to the guy standing on the crowd too who looks like he’s having a whale of a time over there.
