To be honest we have had a good run but when up against any half decent teams we have been found out really. Our reserves got beat by Belgium and we seemed to shoot our bolt in the first half tonight, since half time it's been all them. They are a young side and this will either give them the steel needed to go again in future tournaments of we are in for another 50 years of hurt.

Never, ever underestimate the best midfielders in the world. That’s  what did us. 

In fairness, for 45 minutes we outplayed them. The problem is that we did not take the chances we made and could easily have been 3 up at half time. They were bound to get into the game and when they did their greater experience gave them the edge.

Twice within minute we were caught napping, the first time we got away with it, the second time they rightfully punished us.

Ultimately we have done better than any of us expected, it just so disheartening having coming so close and not created enough when it mattered.

Much better than expected over the whole tournament really although it's hard to imagine a kinder set of circumstances.  Bodes well for the future if we can make sure the younger players at the top four clubs actually get 40 games a season.
