‘Has it ever been house?’ Danish star Schmeichel trolls England forward of Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley (VIDEO)

Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has laughed off the potential of “soccer coming house” forward of Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final with England, asking a reporter if the European Championships has “ever been house”.

Soccer followers of a sure classic in and round England will little question keep in mind Frank Skinner and David Baddiel’s ‘Three Lions’ music which predicted that soccer was “coming house” forward of the 1996 iteration of the European Championships held on English soil. 

Soccer, in truth, didn’t come house throughout that event after present England boss Gareth Southgate missed a significant penalty within the semi-final with Germany – simply six years after they suffered the very same destiny on the 1990 World Cup once they as soon as once more did not carry soccer “house”.

Now, after a number of additional failed makes an attempt to make good on Skinner & Baddiel’s now quarter of a century previous prophecy, the music is as soon as once more being sang within the stands at England video games all through the European Championships – however Schmeichel was eager to notice that soccer has by no means been “house“, no less than within the context of the European Championships.

“You will have heard the phrase ‘It’s coming house’ – what would it not imply so that you can cease it from coming tomorrow night time?” Schmeichel was requested by a British reporter, with him visibly grimacing when he heard the ‘coming house’ a part of the query.

“Has it ever been house?” Schmeichel shot again. “Have you ever ever gained it?“

“In 1966 it was house,” replied the reporter.

“Nicely, was that not the World Cup?“

Schmeichel is, in fact, right in stating that England have by no means gained the European Championships – and chances are you’ll simply recall listening to about England’s World Cup win 55 years in the past, principally as a result of they’ve hardly ever stopped speaking about it since.

And of the 2 groups who will take to Wembley turf on Wednesday night, simply a type of sides can boast having gained this competitors previously – with Denmark doing simply that in 1992.

So whether or not or not soccer does certainly come “house” stays to be outlined, partly no less than,  by no matter takes place on the pitch in London tomorrow night – but when England as soon as once more fall quick, maybe it’s time to retire the ‘Three Lions’ music lest it’s endlessly related to failure.
