    Well proud of the team who will arrive home to great applause and appreciation like winners which they most certainly are and a far different to England who came home shamed an humiliated and manager-less....We have done what no home nation have done for 50 years and reached a the semi final of a major tournament......
    Well done to Coleman and his coaching staff and the brilliant Gary speed...RIP. And well done to all the players who have enhanced their careers and have gained many admirers..

    Which is the only Home Nation to reach a "major" semi-final on FOREIGN soil?

    England are like the French rugby team - poor travellers <laugh><laugh><laugh>
