It’s Not Coming Home, But It Got Tantalizingly Close. England vs Germany, Round of 16, June 27, 2010, #WorldCup 2010, Bloemfontein, South Africa. There’s no guarantee that England’s team will ever get the same chance it had today to advance to a Men’s World Cup final, but there’s much more optimism around the English national team than there has been in a long time. Happy that my former temporary home was able to celebrate an excellent run in the World Cup, and sad for my English friends who are mourning the loss today. As we Americans have been saying since the beginning of the tournament, come join us on the couch, there’s plenty of room, and there’s plenty of time to talk about what might have been. 📷: by brendamoffitt. England’s 2010 goalkeeper David James disgustedly kicks the ball out of the goal while Germany celebrates a goal nearby. Original 2010 edit with minor Instagram adjustments. #England #DavidJames #soccer #football #futbol #calcio #goalkeeper #ThreeLions #ItsNotComing...
