He is not coming home, but England has reason for optimism
It didn't come home, nothing comes home. Instead, a battle-hardened Italian team snuffed out England's delicate Euro dreams 2020 and ended his party at Wembley in the cruelest way, when he beat a penalty shootout in the final on Sunday.
When the Italian players sang and danced, they kissed and cried, they bathed in sparkling tape, it was another false dawn for the English.
