About this deal

The original, which topped the charts along with the reworked Three Lions '98, has sold almost two million copies and has been streamed tens of millions of time. Baddiel: ‘The Lionesses brought it home. Football came home with the Lionesses. And some might say that should be the end of it. Stop singing it. But we decided to give it one more go on the basis that the blokes haven’t brought it home'. The short answer is that England wear the three lions on their shirts - as they have done ever since the first international against Scotland in 1872 - because, as representatives of the Football Association, they're simply sporting the logo of the FA.

Revealed: How many units are REALLY in your wine, beer and spirits - and why booze has got so much stronger since the 1970s Juventus won the Italian League on the last day without ever having been in first place the entire season. Has this ever happened before in any league?" asks Filipe Lowndes Marques.Richard Gough may have insisted that he played in six derbies, including "the one that just might stump you, San Jose Clash v Los Angeles Galaxy" - but John Clements is less convinced. "The cities are 343 miles apart!" he exclaims. And the final piece of the treble? That came in 1994, when Aston Villa beat Manchester United 3-1 to win the Coca-Cola Cup - although Neil Penny swears blind that Mark Bosnich should have walked in the semi-finals and Tranmere should have been at Wembley instead.

The song begins with The Lionesses winning Euro 2022 at Wembley before Skinner and Baddiel again lament on the fortune's of the men's team who again came close at the last World Cup and the Euros but failed to win those championships. Palestine protesters defy hate speech warning banners: Thousands march on London shouting controversial 'from the river to the sea' chant - as seven are arrested It was their son Richard the Lionheart – famed for his exploits in the Crusades (he actually spent very little time in England, was once held for ransom by an Austrian and a German, and was killed by a Frenchman while besieging a castle) – who decided to combine all three lions to make up his arms. Then, in 1152, Henry I’s grandson Henry, Duke of Normandy married Eleanor of Aquitaine – whose family also had a lion on its crest. Young Henry himself became King Henry II of England in 1154 – founding the great Plantagenet dynasty Mr Baddiel admitted when the song launched on BBC1 last night: 'Some might say that should be the end of it. Stop singing it. But we decided to give it one more go on the basis that the blokes haven’t brought it home'.

The Azzurri wear blue because it is the colour of Savoia, the ruling house of Italy from 1861 to 1946. When the Italian Republic was established in 1946, the tricolour was adopted as the national flag - however Italy's famous azure blue kit remained. Many of us have owned a replica shirt, or worn one as an act of vacuous patriotism, and as Harry Kane's Boys of '22 get to work in Qatar, our fashion statements will be out in force next Monday for the Three Lions' group opener against Iran.
