Euro 2024 is nearly upon us, which means for the next month England fans will be getting their hopes up once again that this year could finally be our year.
With the tournament kicking off this Friday (14 June) get ready to hear everybody and their cousin belting out the lyrics to The Lightning Seeds' 1996 track 'Three Lions' at every hour of the day.
Hopefully by now you'd hope that fans have remembered the correct lyrics.
The long lasting football anthem, sung by comedy double act David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, perfectly encapsulates fan hopes to finally see their national team lift a trophy after many, many years of hurt.

But just how well do you all know the lyrics?
Turns out that many people are still caught out, with the most common misheard lyric being 'Jewels remain still gleaming'.
However the actual lyric is: 'Jules Rimet still gleaming'.
The confusion is common among several fans, with the topic becoming a fierce debate on social media every time a tournament rolls around.
"Sorry but Jules Rimet still gleaming?? Thought it was jewels remain still gleaming for 25 years," one person declared on X, while another said: "Do you remember where you were when you found out the Jules Rimet was still gleaming and that the jewels did not remain still gleaming?"

Who is Jules Rimet?
For anyone who isn't up to date on their footballing history, Frenchman Jules Rimet was the president of FIFA for 33 years, which is still the longest time that anyone has been FIFA president.
Rimet was so influential in national football that the original World Cup trophy ended up being named after him, with the trophy being in use from 1946 until 1970.
The trophy was famously presented to the England team after they beat West Germany to the World Cup title in 1966, with Bobby Moore famously lifting the trophy into the air after it was presented by the Queen.

It was also stolen the very same year, later being returned after seven days when a dog named Pickles found it.
The Jules Rimet would later cease to be used in 1970 when Brazil won the title for a third time - meaning they got the honour of keeping the trophy forever.
It was then stolen again in 1983 and is thought to have been melted down.
Despite the trophy itself being long gone, it has since been memorialised to future generations of football fans thanks to Skinner and Baddiel's song.

Just make sure you get the lyrics right this year when belting it out in the pub after several pints.
