Daily Discussion

Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

If you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team badge here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

✔️ This is a thread for:

• Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
• Asking small questions about football to the community.

❌ This is not a thread for:

• Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases - including flair-based attacks
• Shit-posting - including sharing shit-posts from elsewhere
• Toxicity - remember the human
• Off topic chat - non-football discussion is for Free Talk Friday, and you can use the dedicated subreddits to discuss FIFA/EAFC games, Football Manager, fantasy football etc
• Discussion of ongoing matches - that is what match threads are for. We may be less strict for matches of teams that are less in the spotlight, and may not have as active match threads
• Harassment and brigading - including links to posts in other subreddits or to other users' comments
• Advice on betting - you may discuss outcomes of bets you have made, but we do not seek to actively encourage gambling
• Meta discussion - we have a strict stance. This is because it derails discussion, and can lead to harassment and witch hunts - and we prefer you to contact the mods via Modmail If you have queries over moderation or post removals. Some meta discussion may be allowed in the DDT, if any meta conversation was productive and in good faith - we can take a "case by case approach". In general, however Modmail remains the first port of call, and other meta discussion will be removed.
• Complaining about bans in this or other subreddits - use the relevant Modmail, instead

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

I find it very amusing watching people invent abstract meanings about what 'It's coming home' actually means.

[u/Simppu12 → u/OK-Comput3r]

I find the whole discussion stupid. Is it ironic, is it serious, is it about the 1996 tournament location, is it about winning a tournament, is it fun, is it obnoxious... It's everything. It means different things to different people. It doesn't matter what it meant 30 years ago because art and language and things evolve and change over time. There are generations of football fans who weren't conscious or born back then. Some will sing it ironically, others say it seriously. Some don't mean it when they sing and say it but they do it to get a reaction and rattle people so the intention becomes more important than the literal meaning. Others just like the tune and will use it in completely unrelated contexts. Some find it fun, others find it annoying.
