UEFA Nixes Plan for 'Three Lions' Performance at England vs. Italy Euro 2020 Final

You might hear "it's coming home" from fans at the Euro 2020 final, but UEFA won't allow an official performance of the famous "Three Lions" song during Sunday's match between England and Italy.

"UEFA said it was too partisan and not fair to the Italians to have that," Frank Skinner, one of the song's writers and performers, told The Last Leg (via Reuters).

Comedians Skinner and David Baddiel originally released the hit song in 1996, with its chorus—featuring the refrain "It's coming home"—becoming a rallying chant for the English fans in recent years.
