00:00 So it's all over here at Wembley and it's a bit of a strange feeling really in the stadium after that because England made a stirring comeback in the second half, a brilliant performance to win 3-2 but it was so close but yet so far and the emotions of the players at the full-time whistle really said a lot.
00:15 I mean Mary Earps was in tears, she was distraught, Serena Vigeman consoling her.
00:19 We just heard from Vigeman in the press conference and she was stressing the point that she didn't want Earps to feel like she was at fault for the situation England are in because they have won and they have come back
00:28 but the qualification for next summer's semi-final of the Nations League is out of England's hands.
00:34 They need that Horan result against Belgium next week to go their way which is why the players were so upset but I think they can take a lot from this game going into that Scotland match.
00:43 And the key thing is England are going to need goals on Tuesday, they're going to need to score goals at Hamden Park and if they play like they did in the second half here, it's not out of the question that England go there and score four or five goals which is what Vigeman thinks it will take.
00:54 I think they're going to need four goals there, particularly if the Dutch beat the Belgium and if England can play with the intensity, with the pace, with the power they did in the second half from the off against Scotland, then they've got a chance of pulling off what at half-time here looked like a miracle.
