00:00I mean, we all want to be loved, right?
00:04That was an absolute shambles tonight.
00:06Just disappointed.
00:07One particularly bad game has caused a lot of damage.
00:11I was like, this is a nightmare.
00:13I mean, look at him, he's devastated.
00:16Can England win a tournament again? Can those days be reflected?
00:20Yes, they can.
00:31Yes!
00:34Yes!
00:36Yes!
00:43Well, running around with the cup first of all at Wembley was just, oh, just a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
00:49It really was.
00:50And then getting home, getting home with this huge thing on the street saying, well done, Gordon.
00:58Oh, it was remarkable, it really was.
01:29I can imagine the feeling that he had at that moment in time.
01:35But, yeah, things like that you've got to deal with, move on, and try to make it a stronger person, really.
01:45And I'm sure if you speak to the gaffer, he'll tell you that I did that, for sure.
01:59Yes!
02:02Yes!
02:05Scoring a goal in a World Cup is one thing, but scoring against Argentina in a knockout competition was amazing.
02:13And just the whole game, the way it ding-donged and toed and froed and went to penalties.
02:17And obviously the despair in the end of getting knocked out.
02:20It was brilliant, you know, World Cup and something I'll always remember.
02:25And it was certainly a life-changer for me as well.
02:31The idea of it coming in World Football, I think, is very important.
02:34I think I obviously had a very high-profile goal myself taken away from me.
02:38I wish you could go back in time and have it in that instance.
02:45One particularly bad game has caused a lot of damage to me personally, to the team,
02:52and even to the team going forward, because now they've got a major bridge to repair,
02:58which had we played better last night, maybe we would not have needed a repair.
03:06Penalty shoot-outs, we all know how difficult they are, and to come through as the winners is so satisfying for us.
03:23Just disappointed. It feels like it was a massive opportunity missed.
03:27I just think we invited too much pressure in the second half. I mean, look at him, he's devastated.
03:36Well, in terms of the players, they've given everything they could have, not only tonight but through the whole tournament.
03:45They should hold their heads high. They're a team who have pulled together, have given the country some incredible evenings.
03:58But, of course, tonight, the devastation of getting so close and not being able to give our country the trophy that we wanted to is difficult to put into context.
