Didn't notice of on any particular groups. Thought there was a variety of men, women, children, different face adornments, headwear (including several men wearing female Russian traditional headdresses). Shame we didn't get to the final, but Gareth Southgate proved himself as worthy of being in charge and the team did us proud. |

If Croatia win, England can console themselves that they were put out by the eventual winners.

Boris congratulated the England team on twitter and was immediately taken down. I liked this one:  |

VERY good response!  (The team won't REALLY get an open top bus parade, will they? Even if they come 3rd, its surely a bit OTT) |

The latest rumour is that the England team will be denied an open-top bus parade because they lost to Croatia in semi-final – even though Italia 90 squad got the open-top bus treatment after they lost in the semi-final to Germany. Apparently the FA feel that celebrating finishing third or fourth would send a bad message to Gareth Southgate's young players.

Patterry
I heard it was Gareth Southgate himself who said he didn't want an open top bus parade.

I am sure they will get a wonderful welcome at the airport which they will appreciate. Nothing 'organised' just real fans saying thanks for all you did.

Would have been nice if they could have had third place in the play-off this afternoon, but Belgium beat our boys 2 - 0: ever wished you'd not bothered turning on the TV??

4th out of 32 teams! When nothing was expected of them. Pretty good result, imo.

I don't know how you gee yourself up for a 3/4th place. Obviously Belgium were more motivated. I thought they would be in the final. If they hadn't drawn France, I think they would have been.
Now I have to back France as my daughter-in-law is French. She teaches French in Surrey. She was dreading a France/English final.

Looking at the way France played today in the final - beating Croatia 4 goals to 2 - I was thankful we weren't up against them either!
All over for another four years then... although there are of course the Euro Championships in 2 years' time to keep us going  |

It sounds like it was quite an exciting match.
Sadly, I was dead-heading roses! Well, for some of the time.
