England crashed out of the World Cup in Qatar after a game in which they had great chances to send the match into extra time.

Southgate, amazing speech: England could not have done more against France

At the end of the game, Gareth Southgate surprised, the England manager said that his team could not do more against an extremely strong opponent.

“The evolution we had tonight deserved more, but in the end it’s the goals that decide. I told my players that I don’t think they could have given more.

We conceded two goals and lost some chances. But it’s all in the details. Small things on both sides decided the result. We lost to a great team.

I do not want to get into this topic (no arbitration). I prefer to talk about our players. Congratulations France! They knew they had to play a huge game in front of us. I really don’t think I could do more” – Gareth Southgate.
