No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach. We were close, really close to another final but it wasnโt enough. Weโve given everything over these last 7 weeks and to fall short is hard to take!
I know the expectations are high and rightly so, weโve been knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw! Thatโs where we have to go away, process it and find a way to get better. Iโm so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament - some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome.
Some memories that will stay with us players and Iโm sure you fans for a long long time! Going for glory doesnโt always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again and thatโs what we will do, thereโs no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing.
Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums. Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always Win or lose, we learn and go again! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐ฆ
Lots of people slagging off Harry Kane, saying he "never turns up"ย in the biggest games.
Obviously struggled vs Argentina, but he's had a great World Cup, scoring six goals despite mediocre service much of the time. No service whatsoever yesterday. Criticised for dropping deep, criticised for staying up front, criticised for not single-handedly winning the game when the team has completely stopped playing.
Think some people need to realise the problem with England isn't Harry Kane

If not for Upamecano, France would've been 2โ0 down after just 37 minutes. The need to criticize Dayot even when he was by far France's best player is just weird. He actually saved everyone here, including Saliba, who simply watched it happen.
