00:00Really well done, lads. They've done really, really well.
00:02All right, yeah, we haven't got there, but it's not always...
00:05English, we don't mind being underdogs sometimes.
00:08It's resonated throughout us.
00:10But, you know, they've done all right.
00:11Gareth Southgate, lads have done all right.
00:13If you look historically at England matches,
00:15some of them have been absolutely just unbelievable.
00:18But he's got us at doorstep twice.
00:21I mean, I think the most important was they got a goal for us, at least.
00:25Gareth Southgate, he's a good manager,
00:29but I think it's time we had somebody else in now.
00:34I don't think Southgate should do the next World Cup
00:39when he's a new manager.
00:41He's been there long enough.
00:42He's got us into the semis.
00:46He got us into the final.
00:49It wasn't to be, so...
00:51Yeah, I think a better team won, to be honest with you.
00:55Got no bad feelings towards Southgate.
00:57I think he's done a half-decent job.
01:00My young'uns were gutted.
01:01My two boys were big football fans.
01:03But it is what it is.
01:04Better team won.
01:04Onto World Cup.
01:05Here we go.
01:07I don't follow football.
01:08However, I like to see England do well.
01:10And they're running so so far,
01:13and they often go about as far as this,
01:14and then they get knocked back.
01:17Yeah, but what can you say?
01:19I mean, Southgate's doing the best he can, I guess.
01:21And they're getting the best players.
01:23It's just one of those things.
01:25What do you do?
01:26I think they're well done for the effort that they put in.
01:28And they didn't win, but they still put in the effort
01:31and took part.
01:31And that's wonderful.
01:34I'm not a football fan, but I do...
01:36I'm very proud of the team that we have.
01:39I watched the match.
01:41Was really sad for the British guys,
01:43because I chose Spain,
01:45because I speak Spanish as well.
01:48And then the family of my friend from here
01:52was really sad because I didn't choose.
01:55But it was really, really, really interesting, the game.
