Three Lions Lost With Pride Restored

Sad yet proud But the scoreline doesn't lie Football is not coming home But this time with a sense of pride Not in disgust and shame But the fact remains We still lost But all is not lost for once At least we had or gave it a real go And we finally at last have something to build on and grow So hey ho onwards and upwards The cupboard is no longer bare And for once the whole country finally cares More hope for the future than nightmares Well done to all the Lads Its not all bad At last you have done your Nation Proud Football may not be coming home But when you do You can hold you head up high All we ever wanted or expected You gave us , you may have lost but at least you tried You have finally restored the 3 Lions Pride

Cheers Roy. Hard not be really absolutely gutted but I think given some time to reflect they did us proud . If anyone had said before the actual tournament had started we would make the semi-final everyone would have snapped there hand off. Its hard to take but better than probably anyone expected. So well done boys a warm welcome awaits you when you come home. Next time
