Your Favourite Pop Stars Are Hurting, Too
Following England's defeat in the Euro 2020 final...
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
