Love these guys man, love 'em.
Perišić ... Mandžukić!
Straight after the game, of course, you know, it hurts.
It hits you ... it hit me, I think, when I was on the coach,
on the way back to the hotel.
It was like, "We could've been there.
We could've actually been in the World Cup final.
We could've got there.
We could've been lifting that trophy."
Jesse Lingard!
Super strike from Lingard.
World Cup was a crazy experience.
I think it was one of the best experiences that I've had.
And after the first few games
it was kind of like everyone took a step back
and actually thought like they can
actually go on and win it.
At first it was like kind of banter,
like people saying, "It's coming home,"
singing the songs and stuff like that.
I think after the Tunisia game,
we weren't even out of the group yet,
so we knew we'd get a bit of banter about it.
But when it started getting to the serious stuff,
like the quarters ... and I think after the Colombia game
it kind of was like, "Right, these
lads can actually do something.
They've got the heart.
They're willing to learn, they're young,
they're fast and they can score goals."
So I think people actually believed
then, after that Colombia game, that we can actually do it.
You know, you know! Trent know!
What you saying, Trent?
It's coming home.
What is it?
It's coming home.
I think the team that we had then
was like a family, I guess.
I think even the staff was all like family.
We stuck together through the ups and downs.
We prepared ourselves mentally for the
up-and-coming tasks, maybe.
For example, when we played Colombia,
we used to have meetings about temperament,
our own temperament, and which of the Colombians
like to wind us up, or stuff like that,
like with tackles, for example.
So, we had meetings about temperament,
staying in the zone, staying focused on the task,
and winning the game. Because if we get a player sent off
it's pretty much game, set and match.
It was little things like that you take away and you pick up
and I think we did everything very professionally.
For me, personally, I played every game, pretty much.
Scored a goal at the World Cup.
So, I'm always gonna take that away with me,
and carry that away with me.
But even to this day I still think we've gotta
push a little bit harder, maybe.
Maybe it was the experience of the Croatians in that game
that kind of caught us off guard a bit.
For us, as a young team, to get to the semi-finals
of a World Cup, who'd have thought it?
But we was kind of like dark horses in the background,
working our way to the final.
We seen videos of back home,
England fans going crazy and stuff like that.
So, I think we knew that the support that we was getting
kind of spurred us on to do more. And people were eventually
believing that it could actually happen,
and we could win the World Cup.
After the Panama game, where I scored, it kinda
sunk in like, "This is actually a big stage,
and you scored on a big stage.
And it's out there."
I think that's when it kind of sunk in.
Like the Tunisia game was a great feeling to win that game
in the last minute 2-1.
But even to then it didn't kind of sink in.
It was strange, it was like....
I think when you're seeing the families after the games
and stuff like that, they're moments to cherish.
They've come all the way to support you,
and things like that.
I remember one time, I think it was against Sweden,
my mum flew over for that game.
That was the first game she come to.
And I remember seeing her in the crowd,
like nearly tearing up -
singing the national anthem, nearly tearing up.
So it was like them moments where like
your heart goes....
Your family's all there
and you’re singing the national anthem,
full of pride and you're emotionally welling up.
Things like that where you think back
and you think, "That helped in that game."
We beat Sweden that game,
then it was on to the semis.
Throughout the whole tournament,
it was only positive vibes from us.
We did well, which is the main thing.
That was our main aim.
Trent, what's four stand for?
Whoaaa....
What?
I was laughing every day.
Even the staff were getting involved with the banter.
We knew it was like an environment where we could
express ourselves and be free.
England made that environment for us
to be free and express ourselves at that time.
I think no one can say anything about our performances.
I think we played well.
We came out of the World Cup with our head held high.
And England fans, and the whole country, was proud of us.
That's what we wanted to do from the start.
