歐國盃四強英格蘭擊敗丹麥,時隔55年終於再次晉身決賽,全國屏息以待之際,英國Royal Mail 發佈一件足球包裹,一隻字Home,寓意「Football’s coming home」,可謂神來之筆。
包住嘅,除咗係英國球迷認為失卻半世紀嘅榮耀之外,亦係一份令人熱血沸騰的希望。
「It’s coming home」來自英格蘭非正式足球賽曲《Three Lions》歌詞。唔係球迷,都知英格蘭向來同足球大賽冇乜緣份。上次奪得世界盃冠軍已經係1966年。
然後1990年世界盃4強輸在十二碼。
1992年失卻歐國盃。
1994年未能打入世界盃決賽周。
英國歌手David Baddiel同Frank Skinner創作的《Three Lions》發佈於1996年,當時英格蘭在歐國盃分組賽成功擊敗arch rival蘇格蘭,球場揚起《Three Lions》一曲,一播成名,可惜還是於4強敗予西德。
然後98年世界杯、08年歐國盃、2018年世界杯,全部落空。
屢敗屢戰,屢戰屢敗,It’s coming home彷彿成為了英國球迷的希望聖火。你可以話佢傻,次次都唱次次都輸。但你會羨慕,人哋每次輸完再唱嘅傻勁,係面對挫折嘅最佳良藥。
今次英格蘭終於再次晉身決賽,此一神曲亦再次喺英國全城熱播,連Queen’s Guard都親自演奏。Royal Mail哩個post,一件包裹,一隻字,足以strike a resounding chord。
當然,今年意大利會反駁「It’s coming Rome」。
不過體育嘅嘢,coming home or coming Rome唔(係最)重要。重要嘅係全國能夠為咗一件事,上下一心,熱血沸騰,實在令旁人羨慕。

coming home chord 在 Mordeth13 Facebook 的最佳解答
Wow, dem feels. I'm reading through Msgs at 1am. Can't sleep.
Dear M13,
I wanted to write this ever since I learned of your accident. But it's been hard to put to words precisely what I want to say.
I first discovered your channel at what I would call the low point of my life. I had just a few weeks earlier broken up with my first love, a girl who I had transferred colleges to be near. I was crushed. I didn't want to die, but I did want to crawl down a hole in the universe, where time stopped and I could come to grips with everything. I was completely alone and depressed. I gained a lot of weight and languished at home all day.
But during that time I discovered your channel. Your wry sense of humor and unimpeachable honesty struck a chord with me immediately (I still laugh when I think about a story you told in one of your private series about your gf asking for it "in the butt." I died of laughter haha). At the time (2010) I watched all 400 of your videos and looked forward to the new one each night with the kind of excitement due a network drama.
I loved your videos because they were funny, contentious, beautiful, and exciting. You provided me a sense of escape from the pain I was experiencing. For that, I am eternally grateful.
In the years since, I've watched your channel less and less. Not because I stopped enjoying it but because life sped up and I found that I was finally coming out of the hole I'd crawled down. What has stayed with me though are my memories of you and your channel. They will always stay with me. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I know you've got a mountainous struggle before you, one steeper than any I've encountered. But if it helps, you should know that you meant a lot to someone at a time they really needed a friend. I will always remember that. No matter what.
No matter what, you're not alone in this.
Wishing you all the best,
A***
