Association football was invented in England, thus England is the sport's home. It's coming home was a song that was created for the 1996 European Championships that were hosted in England, and so football was coming home.

The song itself was self depreciating about the English mentality and culture, how our football team always lets us down but we still believe anyway, a sort of defiance in the face of inevitable defeat. The phrase is now used to sum up those feelings. We know this can't last but smurf it, until the party stops football is coming home!
