A little bit, of course, but we would certainly have settled for this outcome 3 weeks ago. I’m very proud of the way the lads played, the way they worked together and they way they did the country proud.

The arrogant, obnoxious, under-achieving so-called ‘golden generation’ disappointed then completely alienated England fans. These lads have united us behin£ them.

Very. They did brilliantly to get so far they should be proud of themselves

No. I'm not a football fan and I'm not English. Given that, I don't think it's surprising that I'm not gutted.

Truth be told, I'm slightly glad, as if they'd won we'd all be hearing about it ad nauseam for several weeks (possibly months to come). I suspect it would have become insufferable, so at least we've been spared that.

I have to say, the media hype has been doing my head in slightly. There are so many big issues going on in the world and most of the media have been crowing about England in the world cup (even the BBC which is supposed to represent all of the UK, not just England). Can't say I'll be sad that this will come to and end.

Ooh just read that euro 2020 final is going to be at Wembley!

It's coming home Wink

ScreamingValenta · 11/07/2018 22:15

What @LilyMarie said.

kalapattar · 11/07/2018 22:16

It's a game. It would have been great to watch a final but things happen. I am glad it wasn't penalties - so no one gets the blame in the media.

Life will go on.

VioletPickles · 11/07/2018 22:16

I am. The boys did well. By far the better team first half then lost it.

ShakespearesSisters · 11/07/2018 22:17

I'm gutted, I kept on dreaming but Croatia deserved it. Not been an avid football fan I have enjoyed the matches I've watched and will be interested to see who wins overall.

Dopplerineffect · 11/07/2018 22:17

Yes but we did well.

IsabelleSE19 · 11/07/2018 22:17

MadMags I don't know how you've reached the conclusion that England fluked it this far - they absolutely deserved to be there, but Croatia deserved the victory on the night.

Dagnabit · 11/07/2018 22:17

Yes, I am. So are my children. But it will be a fleeting disappointment in the grand scheme of things.

SabineUndine · 11/07/2018 22:17

Nope. Am not a fish.

WereAllBladesArentWe · 11/07/2018 22:18

I'm gutted. Pure and simple. This squad far exceeded expectations and Southgate has utterly charmed so many people, genuinely sad to see it end.

FrozenMargarita17 · 11/07/2018 22:18

Nope

Petalflowers · 11/07/2018 22:19

Obviously I would love,to have got,to,the final, and am pleased with how well the boys have done. i’ve enjoyed the tournament and the feel good factor it has bought. I wouldn't Say I am gutted though, life goes on,

RoseWhiteTips · 11/07/2018 22:19

Nope.

RadioDorothy · 11/07/2018 22:19

Aw yeah gutted but we did well. Croatia outplayed us, never mind.

AfterSchoolWorry · 11/07/2018 22:20

I agree with LilyMarie Hopefully there won't be a backlash from thug types.

SharronNeedles · 11/07/2018 22:20

It's incredibly sad to see so many bitter people who can't muster the smallest ounce of sympathy for the young lads who have been representing England, playing their hearts out, training harder than ever, missing families and friends who are desperately trying to leave their mark in their industry (not unlike many of us) and make us proud. But yes. Who gives a shit because it doesn't directly impact you

RoseWhiteTips · 11/07/2018 22:20

It’s not so much a case of it’s coming home as they’re coming home.

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 11/07/2018 22:20

I didn’t think I was that bothered... I mean, I wanted them to win but 🤷🏻‍♀️ if they didn’t..

They lost and my eyes got wet 😳

Gutted.

IsabelleSE19 · 11/07/2018 22:20

BonnieF Agree with everything you said!

mydogisthebest · 11/07/2018 22:20

Not gutted as not a football fan but I do feel sad for all the fans (most of my family are football fans) and for the team.

They did well though and should be proud of themselves

WhiteHartLane · 11/07/2018 22:20

Not gutted, disappointed to still not experience England in a final but very proud of the team, every player has played their part well and I've enjoyed watching their games.

WeirdScenesInsideTheGoldmine · 11/07/2018 22:21

They did such a great job. Yes I’m sad. And Scottish.
