Here, if anyone wants to watch another royal-alike parade.

Reminds me of 2010, where the Dutch team lost the final and then got a parade through Amsterdam's canals....like the team that won Euro 1988 That caused quite some critical voices to emerge

In my opinion they should have done it in the way Croatia is being welcomed back, much better

Quality-wise a really poor tournament with almost all big teams (except for France) flopping. In major leagues there are just too many games, it's probably no coincidence that the 2nd youngest team won. Let's hope that players will be less exhausted in 2022. France was the best team and deserved the title, they will only get better and will be the team to beat in the future. For me it's still weird to see so many players with a foreign background in their team, i would imagine it's hard to identify with this team for many white people in France. I know that France has a lot of people with a foreign background, but not clearly over 50% as in their football team. Mbappe of course was the best young player and Courtois was the best goalkeeper. Hard to tell who was the best player, noone really stood out.

Surprise

I expected nothing less from the french people, they are world famous for behavior like that. Probably will find a reason to make this day a national holiday, so that they can work even less.

Apparently there are so many people on the streets that the team bus has already been travelling for more than 4 hours from the airport to the city centre (usually a 30-minute journey).
