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.

00:31Go on!

00:32Go on!

00:35Go on!

00:36Go on!

00:37Go on!

00:38Go on!

00:43Well, running around with the cup, first of all, at Wembley was just...

00:46Oh, just a wonderful, wonderful feeling. It really was.

00:50And then getting home.

00:52Getting home with this huge thing on the street, saying,

00:56Well done, Gordon.

00:58Oh, it was remarkable. It really was.

01:26But I can imagine the feeling that he had at that moment in time.

01:36But, yeah, things like that you've got to deal with, move on,

01:41and try to make it a stronger person, really.

01:46And I'm sure if you speak to the gaffer, he'll tell you that I did that, for sure.

01:57Go on!

01:59Go on!

02:01Go on!

02:03Go on!

02:05Scoring a goal in a World Cup is one thing,

02:08but scoring against Argentina in a knockout competition was amazing.

02:13And just the whole game, the way it ding-donged and tood and froed

02:16and went to penalties, and obviously the despair in the end of getting knocked out.

02:20It was a brilliant 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,

03:09and 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.

03:30I mean, look at him, he's devastated.

03:36Well, in terms of the players, they've given everything they could have,

03:42not only tonight but through the whole tournament.

03:45They should hold their heads high.

03:48They're a team who have pulled together, have given the country some incredible evenings.

03:57But of course, tonight, the devastation of getting so close

04:01and not being able to give our country the trophy that we wanted to,

04:05is difficult to put into context.
