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.
