Ah well. Best team in the night won.
We're young, and will be back in this situation sooner rather than later.

That's right - for a young new team, we had a phenomenal run, and as Southgate says, they have way more potential to realise. 2022 anyone?Ah well. Best team in the night won.

Yeah it is. Pride, belief, optimism about the future and a rekindled love affair with the team are coming home.Sorry England, football is not coming home...
The final word goes to Gareth Southgate and his squad, who have persuaded a football-obsessed country to fall back in love with its national team. Non-believers became believers and the uninterested were turned into disciples. It doesn’t matter who we beat and how we beat them – such details are lost in the ether while the memories stay strong.
It sounds awfully twee, but I won’t apologise for it: “It’s coming home” was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Millions – of different age, background and ethnicity – singing that song together while celebrating each England goal and win was proof enough that football had already returned. The song was never about winning trophies but being proud of those who had been tasked with trying to win them. It was never sung with a hardwired arrogance or assumption of triumph – how could it be given our recent history? – but of enjoying the fabulous and unexpected ride.
The next competitive international England play at Wembley will come with a buzz, not a groan. Young players will yearn to wear the white of England and will demand to play regular first-team football to edge that dream closer to reality.
For that alone, Southgate and his players succeeded. They will fly home at the beginning of next week, five long weeks after they left these shores. But they will be bringing football with them. We are immensely proud of this England squad; it’s been too bloody long since we’ve said that.
France - Croatia... Wondering if anyone had bet on this final before the tournament!?
