Utterly choked, but this young side gave absolutely everything. It’s a huge step forward and they’ll only get better in the future. They can hold their heads high, they did our country proud. Congratulations to Croatia.

Oh England. You have the hearts of lions. You carried our dreams on your shoulders and you should be proud of how you made us feel. And proud of what you did. ♥️

At least an England vs Belgium game in which nobody can actually win won’t be seen as a metaphor for anything.

So proud of this team, their heart, their teamwork, their decency. Losing is shit but nothing can or should take that away. And Gareth still deserves the knighthood.
