This is my first ever rehash of an older parody (then called "David Beckham's British Cross Ball Gang", in 2006). I figured that since England's National Soccer Team yet again have rehashed their now fifty year long habit of brexiting an International Cup before the final, and often in the most embarrasing way possible (this year they were sent home by Iceland after a 1-2 defeat) I really didn't have to exert myself with a fresh take, though I did change "British" to "English" because this time they were also equalled by Ireland and surpassed by Wales. (Full disclosure: The Swedish National Team flopped even harder, but in a shocking display of British logic our Team Captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic was rewarded with a multi million Euro/Dollar contract to play the next season for Manchester United - They could probably have signed the whole Icelandic National Team for just half of that).

It's been fifty years since '66
When ol' English Soccer had some kicks
They've been failing every single cup
And they're always ready for a flop
So let my disabuse imbue
Their Sucker Team to loose this year
Coach Roy Hodgson's English cross ball gang

They're Coach Roy Hodgson's English cross ball gang
They're moving up the ball to slow
Coach Roy Hodgson's English cross ball gang
Sit back and watch the field's grass grow
Coach Roy Hodgson's English
Coach Roy Hodgson's English
Coach Roy Hodgson's English cross ball gang

A wonder that they are here
They're really not Brazil
And what a lowbrow audience
To think this year's Cup is for them
To think this year's Cup's theirs

As tradition bids they'll come to blow
And the manager is way too slow
And the keeper barely scrapes along
And you know that something will go wrong
And then it'll be protrude and rude
The one and only English game
From Coach Roy Hodgson's English cross ball gang
