SurreyLive takes a look at two key queries people might have. The nickname of the Italian national team, simply means 'the blues' or 'blue' , the colour of the shirt often associated with the club. The nickname is used for several Italian national teams, not just the football team. With blue notably absent from the Italian flag, it would be a reasonable question to ask why their national teams' colours are blue. It's because at the start of the 20th century, when many of the national teams were formed, Italy still had a royal family and that family's house colour was blue. The House of Savoia, or House of Savoy, inspired the name of the colour 'Savoy blue'.

Three Lions, the popular tune by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and the Lightening Seeds, could be heading back to the top of the charts as it has once again become an anthem during England's march towards the final. The three lions is the emblem of the Football Association  which would have had to ask for permission to use it due to its royal association, according to inews. They explained that it started with Henry I, fourth son of Norman William the Conqueror, whose coat of arms featured a lion rampant on a red background. In 1121 he married Adeliza of Louvain, whose father also used a lion on his arms  so Henry adapted his one to include a pair of them. Then, in 1152, Henry I's grandson Henry, Duke of Normandy, married Eleanor of Aquitaine whose family also had a lion on its crest. Young Henry himself became King Henry II of England in 1154  founding the great Plantagenet dynasty. It was their son Richard the Lionheart  famed for his exploits in the Crusades (he actually spent very little time in England, was once held for ransom by an Austrian and a German, and was killed by a Frenchman while besieging a castle)  who decided to combine all three lions to make up his arms.
