LONDON (Dagbladet): Two years ago, they lost to Iceland and came back ashamed without the coaches of the national teams after the European Championships in France. In two years, seven European championships will be played in London – the semi-finals and the final.
And that's where it is. New hope of England. For once, lions are not ashamed after a painful loss. They come home as heroes. And even better for English football, regardless of the result of Saturday's bronze final against Belgium – Gareth Southgate and the players were not only surprised by surpassing the ambitious goal of a quarter of final in Russia
On Wednesday night, it was first and foremost the former stars of the Premier League, now female footballers, who spoke on television.
More than the Premier League
– We may be disappointed with the result against Croatia, but overall, this team has won something, says Gary Neville, former Manchester United and the United States. ;England.
The players have won the hearts of the nation. The importance of the national team was rebuilt last month in Russia
– English football is no longer just the Premier League, he said.
Even Roy Keane, Manchester United Irishman with dark spirit, sharp tongue and perhaps the biggest winner of football, loves what he's seen. Not as much as his former English colleagues, he would not have been Roy Keane.

But Keane was again – as usual – stubborn in tone:
– I said that there is a few days: We must fight at once. I've already heard that people have started talking about the finals and that football should come home (in England). You all plan the parade, Miss Keane.
No criticism – just love
Thursday's English newspapers tell the same story. Yes, England cried for England last night. When you are so close to the first finals of 52, it's obviously a pain to lose. But as soon as they had dried the tears from their faces and had gnawed their hair at Hyde Park and elsewhere, they were crying tears of joy
No, England does not like not lose.
But they love his hero hero "
" You have made us proud "," Hero – We are proud of you all "," They are going home … but all are heroes "," End of dream "and" The pride of lions ". The titles are numerous, and in a historical perspective, almost impossible to believe, after a loss of English for a nation of four million inhabitants. But England has now figured out, she realized that it does not affect the size.
It 's about having a team.
It is about having a brave plan. [19659002]
Majesty Southgate
On the BBC, former top scorer Alan Shearer said after the heavy bottom of the screen:
– The shame of defeat against Iceland there two years ago against everything that happened here. You do not have to say more. Gareth Southgate has transformed England and united the nation. And I want to congratulate how he did it, it was a brave decision to decide to make England a playmate.
– There is a great difference between now and now. And England is doing very well.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand is also a BBC man in Russia.
– Gareth Southgate was majestic in his management of this team. Yes, he is inexperienced and has his faults, we lack quality here and there, but there is no reason to separate him now and now. For this team, the future is ahead and wants to learn
– I think England under Gareth Southgate will be a very good team.
Football returns home
The dream is about that time, but England is convinced that Russia has given them 23 new lions. It helps. And then it helps the melancholy and sadness of the song about the fact that football is disappearing. Because the "return of football" was renamed last month
This is no longer just a soccer ball.
It has become the way.
And in two years, the final EM 2020 will be played Wembley
The rest, you can imagine …
