Thank you all for joining me on this trip! Even if you just took a peak at this thread I’m happy that you stopped by. I was originally planning to do this on my own but I’d thought I’d share it with the IFC. Sadly England did not win and brutally lost in the final but I’m pleased with how they finished despite another brutal exit. Thanks again for viewing!
