A World Cup semi-final exit marked yet more tournament heartbreak for England, as 60 years of hurt continue.
Transcript
00:00We have great ambition. We will win a World Cup. We are going to win a Euros.
00:13Summer was an incredible experience for everybody.
00:17So that, of course, they're the games that you want to be involved in
00:21and you want to be involved in matches that matter.
00:32We've got to a final first time for 55 years.
00:35We can't knock Southgate at all, but I just think we didn't try and win the game.
00:41We went 1-0 up and we didn't try and win the game.
00:43You're not a nice team to get to a final.
00:45I think we've overcome a lot of hurdles that we've never been able to in the past.
00:58You've got to come through tough spells as managers.
01:01I've had them before and you're not going to duck a challenge just because of this criticism.
01:15They couldn't have given me any more. They couldn't have given the country any more.
01:18So ultimately we lost to the better side and we have to reflect on how that happened.
01:25But it's very clear in my mind the game.
01:28For me the key was possession of the ball tonight and we didn't have enough control.
01:40Obviously we went up 1-0. To go up 1-0 in the same half and lose, it's not acceptable.
01:46It is gutting. We've got away at least four years now for another chance.
01:51Just got to go again. Who knows? Who knows who will be manager. Who knows what players will have.
01:56It's okay. It's okay. In two years time it's coming home to London. It's coming home to Wembley.
02:01Euros. We will be in that stadium together the final. England is coming home.
