The report says the duo recorded “We're on the Ball” for England’s 2002 World Cup campaign, when the song reached the top three of the charts. Its references to England’s defenders remain recognisable to supporters from that era, and the track still features in fan zones during major tournaments.
Their latest promise came with a direct message to the team: “Come on @england! Bring it home… and we'll remake this video?” The idea quickly drew reactions from supporters, including suggestions that the remake should be filmed if England reach the final.
The proposed video would mark a campaign built on narrow escapes rather than routine victories. The report describes three demanding wins in recent weeks:
Jude Bellingham’s two goals against Norway reportedly turned the tie around and carried Thomas Tuchel’s side into the last four. England are now back at this stage eight years after their previous World Cup semifinal defeat by Croatia.
Ant and Dec’s pledge has given supporters another reason to imagine a breakthrough. Reports also point to heightened anticipation across England, with fan zones preparing for large crowds and a Newcastle venue reportedly increasing capacity to 3,000.
The immediate storyline remains the semifinal against Argentina. If England can produce one more comeback-or simply survive another tense night-the next chapter may feature both a World Cup final and a new version of a song many fans already know by heart.
