The first 60 minutes was what I expected from England, it was above the norm for this tournament but nothing special.

The greatest disappointment was Rooney, the space he filled on the pitch was in my opinion wasted. If he managed to stay on his feet he only went on to fluff it up.

What followed however was worth every heart pounding minute, true to the British spirit ten good men went into the thick of it and held Portugal off, for that alone they deserved to win. We lost. **** happens but I’m proud to be British and I’m proud of those lads, let’s hope that we show them our appreciation if only for that last glorious hour.
