After losing the Women’s World Cup final, the devastated Lionesses waved to supporters and signed autographs as they left Australia and began their protracted journey home.
After the team’s defeat over Spain, head coach Sarina Wiegman led the group out of their hotel in Sydney. While most team members grinned as they met fans, several were melancholy as they prepared to board the plane for their return to the UK.
After finishing second, supporters are demanding that the Lionesses receive honors and a homecoming parade.
Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, was the first to demand that they get honors, claiming that their “historic achievement galvanized the whole nation.”
The Liberal Democrats leader, Sir Ed Davey, added that “everyone on the team” deserved an honor.
The Lionesses, according to celebrities, royals, and politicians, have “inspired millions” and “paved the way for generations to come.”
Sarina Wiegman’s team was defeated in Sydney on Sunday by Olga Carmona’s first-half goal, as spectators agonizingly watched on as England failed to make a breakthrough.
