It definitely started with the war and even now English supporters reference it in chants about 'Ten German Bombers', 'Two Word Wars and One World Cup .. dooh dah, doo dah', etc. But recently, a widely held perception that Germany effectively leads the EU has resulted in a lot of anti-Merkel/pro-Brexit chants. Although it's predicted they'll also chant variations of those at tonight's Belgium game (the Brussells connection). FIFA have even issued a warning to England fans not to do this.
