Patrice Evra Tells England Fans to Stop Singing 'It's Coming Home' If They Want to Win the World Cup
Former French defender Patrice Evra jokingly told England fans to stop singing "It's Coming Home" because he believes the anthem is a curse preventing them from winning major tournaments.
Former French national team defender Patrice Evra has advised English football fans to stop singing their popular anthem 'It's Coming Home,' arguing that the song is actually a curse preventing the team from winning championships. England is consistently favored as a tournament contender, yet they regularly fail to achieve their dreams. Evra joked with England supporters to abandon the celebratory chant 'It's Coming Home,' which symbolizes bringing the trophy back home, because he views it as a curse.
"England is always the favorite to win the championship, then when they reach the semifinals or finals, they always disappoint. They have a good record in the Euros and have quality players," Evra said. "So now we have to see how Thomas Tuchel and his team will perform. But there's one thing I've always wanted to ask English fans: don't sing 'It's Coming Home.' It's a curse. When they start singing that song, that's when I know England won't win the trophy. If they didn't sing it, I think they could win the World Cup. It's a curse, just like Arsenal had to wait 22 years."
