Celebration of a joyous journey not triumphalism.
Guest Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 One good thing about the end of the euros is that this thread will be closed forever.
purpleronnie Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Open top bus parades for losing teams, always makes me cringe a little.
Guest Col city fan Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Can't quite believe they had an open top bus. What would they have done if they had won the tournament, or even made the final?
AKCJ Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 No need to be bitter lads. We'd be celebrating if Leicester got to the Champions League semi-final. That's not to celebrate losing, but to celebrate the success of the journey.
ScouseFox Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 No need to be bitter lads. We'd be celebrating if Leicester got to the Champions League semi-final. That's not to celebrate losing, but to celebrate the success of the journey. they beat northern ireland and belgium then lost to what everyone wants to call a non league side. what a journey.
AKCJ Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 they beat northern ireland and belgium then lost to what everyone wants to call a non league side. what a journey. mate. they're wales.
foxes161 Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 They did great but a parade for losing in the semis? Cmon
SheppyFox Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Its a flash in the pan, loved listening to giggs ramble on about how it's the start of greatness, England beat them!
foxes21 Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 open top bus parade was so cringe reminds me of when burnley celebrated finishing second in the championship to us. didnt they get some tinpot trophy too?
Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Just before you amnesiacs the wrong side of Offa's Dyke ;-) get too uppity about celebrating a losing semi final in a major tournament, remind yourselves of this: http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/video/exterior-shots-of-1990-england-world-cup-squad-in-news-footage/141454234 For all of you who still can't click on links, i will explain in plain English. England lost in the semi final of the 1990 World Cup - remember Gazza cried? - and you had an open top parade on coming home. Now call us embarrassing.
FuchingKante Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 They had what, one decent game? Scraped past Slovakia Lost to us Beat a god awful Russian team Played well vs Belgium Got dicked by Portugal Really don't understand why people are acting like they won the ****ing thing.
john doe Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 For all of you who still can't click on links, i will explain in plain English. England lost in the semi final of the 1990 World Cup - remember Gazza cried? - and you had an open top parade on coming home. Now call us embarrassing. world cup
