There are reports around that the FA is planning to drop Three Lions in favour of Sweet Caroline at the World Cup because it might offend other nations. How a song lamenting England's successive failures for three (soon to six) decades offends anyone isn't clear.
By all means drop it because people are bored with it or don't like it or have a new song but this seems daft.

Seems each country was asked to nominate an official World Cup song and the FA consider Three Lions too arrogant.

Fans will sing whatever they like, just a load of nonsense from the FA and FIFA.

One more point

Why don't we just go the whole hog when playing another country (especially one we may have invaded/enslaved/built railways in/colonized) and sing Tracey Chapman's 'I'm Sorry'?

Three Lions really bothers a lot of people. Seems obvious the 'it’s coming home' (as in a 'we’re definitely winning this'), is a joke. We’re all aware we’ve never seen England win anything but read any comments section re England and it’s full of non-English people convinced that we’re the most arrogant nation on earth and we actually expect to win every tournament. Anglophobia mixed with a misunderstanding of English humour.

It's just a historical reference to the fact that the modern game started in England by the FA and they set up the original rules.

Another example of the UK being made to feel they cannot promote any of their history or legacy without worrying about offending someone.
