georginho_juventusygr Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Croatia were paraded on the streets and welcomed by hundreds of thousands of people. Belgians have a party in the city center. Panama had a parade with an open top bus. England should be welcomed home with something like those. Who's with me? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwig Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Southgate has said that he doesn’t want a parade as it would be held in one place and the team represents the entire nation. I wonder what he’d do if we’d won it? Have a victory tour? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsy Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Don't think we should have one, personally. Maybe if we'd lost in the final, perhaps, but not for making the Semis. There'll likely be people there to cheer them home off the plane, but definitely shouldn't be anything in way of an organised parade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The Under-20s and Under-17s didn't get parades for winning their World Cups last year. The women's team didn't get a parade for finishing 3rd in 2015. The men don't deserve a parade for finishing 4th. If they'd got to the Final, I could understand there being one. As it is, all they have done is exceed expectations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall 31% English players in EPL... this is more heavily weighted to the bottom of the table... and in a lot of cases, played less frequently than 'first team' foreigners. If anything the success of EPL and influx of foreign players relate to fans apathy (like myself) but not whether or not 4th constitutes success or not. I'm in the minority .. most of the country is really pleased with coming 4th... I'm one of the select few that looks at how we achieved it and doesn't think it's much of an achievement. But what does seem a collective thought, whether we think 4th is good or not, is that it doesn't deserve a special celebration! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Getafe Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The only thing that should be "celebrated" is that we somehow didn't have to face France or Spain or Germany or Brazil or Portugal or Argentina. 4th was better than anyone imagined a month ago, but we lost to the only 2 good teams we faced. Tunisia and Panama might as well be pub teams, Sweden are nothing special, and Colombia aren't great. All teams we'd have expected to beat. We're a decent-but-not-great team who have improved and got lucky with the route, but are still a long way short of the teams I mentioned at the start. And to think: some people are talking of knighthoods and renaming streets let alone an open top bus tour. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
