00:00England are out of the World Cup and once again the wait goes on. There will be plenty of talk
00:08about the tactics, about substitutions and what might have been if England did make it to that
00:13final against Spain. But one player has stood out and that is Dan Byrne. He has won over supporters
00:21with his honest substitute performances and no nonsense defending. He never looked overawed by
00:28the occasion and became a genuine cult hero along the way. England's campaign ended in disappointment
00:36but Dan Byrne leaves the tournament with his reputation enhanced and the respect of fans
00:43across the country and beyond. He'll always be known for that heading clearance in that round
00:52in that quarterfinal against Norway just as the final whistle went. But for England fans
00:59it is sad times. Many travelled from the UK to support England against Argentina and here
01:06is some of that reaction outside the ground following the result.
01:13just you know I'm an Arsenal fan so we won the league so you know I've had joy. It just
01:20feels like
01:21England are the Tottenham of national teams you know that we always just don't win it and
01:30you know I don't know how many more World Cups I'm gonna have to be honest.
01:35Miami quarters. Semis here. Argentina. We haven't shown up. What are we doing? What are we doing?
01:45What are we doing? What are we doing? Has Harry Kane last two games? I love him. I'm an Arsenal
01:51fan. I love that guy.
01:52I want him to do everything for our country. Where were you Harry? I'm my name's Harry. Where were you?
02:00It's a royal name. Where were you?
02:03So sure substitutions to date have been spot on. After the goal. I don't know. I don't know about the
02:09tactics. I don't know if he made the right choices.
02:13It just wasn't great. I don't know. You know our whole mentality has been he gets everything right. The players
02:20are with him and I'm just not sure they were with what he was looking for them to do. I'm
02:24gonna be honest. I'm just not 100% sure. I was not quite sure what he was trying to achieve
02:28to be honest.
02:29I really, you know, we've seen in the last game, Egypt, Argentina, they're 2-0 down, three goals in 10
02:37minutes. What's happened?
02:39Yeah, I thought first half was okay, but I thought we just let them play their game second half. I
02:43thought we've got the goal in and just let them come on to us. And he just got on the
02:47ball messy and dictated the play. Then he just won the show second half. And once they got the first
02:51one, I thought it was inevitable that I was going to get the second. They're lucky they didn't get more
02:54to be fair. They had good chances. Yeah, it could have been four or five the way they played to
02:58be fair.
02:59Okay.
