It has become a trending hashtag on social media, the fans believe it, the British media feature the chant in news headlines and the UK officials support the idea.
"It's coming home" has become one of the most commonly heard football chants by England supporters in the light of the team's progress in the World Cup.
England is set to face Croatia in the World Cup semi-final at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on July 11. Timberlake addressed the fans via an Instagram post on Tuesday, promising to show the match on the O2 arena's big screens.
