We switched off, stopped pressing, allowed to look up & cross and then everyone caught flat footed.

That’s all folks....
 
Always going to be a tough ask once we faced a really good side. Doesn't undo all the progress we've made over the past couple of years though
 
Still proud of the Boys..got further than anyone expected and further than the likes of Germany, Spain, Argentina and Brazil.
No shame at all.
 
It was a good run. We hadn’t really played anyone decent until now. Not good enough ultimately, can’t keep the ball under pressure.

You never played anyone of any standing, you are an average team who got a lucky draw and met mince teams along the way, stop kidding yourself you're better than you are, you aren't.
 
Fair play to England they battled well to get to the semi final and it’s progress they should be proud off and getting that far should be celebrated- at the end of the day just missing that bit of creativity and quality. Some players coming out of the Comp in high regard.
 
I don't feel as bad as Italia 90. We weren't good enough. Had chances, didn't take them, we allowed Croatia into it.

The big upside, we got further than expected, we have a system, we have a team ethic. Plenty of positives.
