By any chance does this translate into meaning that England defeated their opponent in their World Cup Soccer match?

You forget, I am an American, and am extremely naive in such matters.

Jason,

It means England has taken the LEAD. Well any goal is a major event in a soccer match, as you know.

But Brazil has the most potent offense -- so this game is far from over.

???

Oh!

Thanks for the heads up Gopher.

Better not spoil it Simon! If I were you I would not post or boast until the game was OVER.

Yeah, for those who don't know it's from an England world cup song "Three Lions" after the 3 lions on the England badge on the England shirts:

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
(x4)

Everyone seems to know the score
They've seen it all before
They just know
They're so sure

That England's gonna
Throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play
Cos' I remember

Three lions on the shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
30 Years of hurt
Never stoppped me dreaming

So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wear you down
Through the years

But I still see that
Tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And nobby dancing

Three lions on a shirt
Jules rimet still gleaming
30 Years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

I know that was then
But it could be again

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
(x4)

Three lions on a shirt
Jules rimet still gleaming
30 Years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
(repeat to fade)

oh no ... 1-1 just before half time.

Wooooot!

Heads up, we'll be fine!

You can listen to the song here (quite good)

Badiel and Skinner (2 comedians who did a football programme) recorded it with the Lightning-Seeds.

Made great TV viewing seeing a stadium fullof people singing it at the Euro games.
