The World Cup has been a roller coaster of emotions and events for all the different countries that have been a part of it. Some teams actually lasted longer than expected, while others departed surprisingly early. Without a doubt, all participating nations welcomed back their teams in their own special way.

Here are the most memorable team homecoming moments!

#1: Panama

Even though they ranked last in this edition of the World Cup, but their nation was just extremely proud and happy with their participation and with their first ever World Cup goal.

#2: Egypt

Well, we don’t need actual footage of this because we all know how that went quite well. But luckily, it wasn’t the worst. Bear with us and you’ll know all about it!

#3: Germany

It is quite embarrassing how the local press handled their elimination from the group stages. It’s like they were ashamed of them in some way. Thank God we are not Germany, otherwise, our players probably would have been dead already.

#4: Iran

Iranians are super proud to say the least with their national team, that they welcomed them so dearly. What would they have done if they’d actually won?

#5: Brazil

The funniest and the most savage welcome party was for Brazil. They actually topped our own Egyptian one with all the eggs they’ve thrown on the team’s bus.

#6: Japan

No country can compete with Japan when it comes to being civilized. The Japanese team left the Russian organizers a “Thank You” note in the dressing room, while their fans greeted them at the airport.

#7: Russia

It was a bit unexpected yet expected to have the Russians cheer for their beloved team. At one point you’d expect that the KGB there would kill them all because they got knocked out, but thank God they appreciate their efforts!

#8: Belgium

It was more of a wild party rather than a celebration and was featured by the amazing Hazard.

#9: Croatia

Croatia is celebrating as if they won the cup and not France. They are certainly enjoying it more than any World Cup winner. Well deserved! You can’t blame them; they certainly did their best and they made the whole world proud of them.

#10: France

Their president celebrated with them, because guess who the champions are? The French are beyond happy and we can’t blame them!

May we have a homecoming that is as happy and great as Croatia’s next time round!
