The pop world is reacting to England's defeat in the Euro 2020 final.
Amid enormous hype, the England team played Italy at Wembley Stadium last night – July 11th – the country's first international final in the men's game since 1966.
Sadly it wasn't to be, with a penalty shoot out proving to be the deciding factor in an incredibly close game. Liam Gallagher is already looking ahead to next year's World Cup in Qatar:
Gutted about the footy but gotta BIG UP the lads and Gareth Southgate and the fans that was something else we go again on the World Cup peace n love and most of all RESPECT LG x
