After the last-16 win, then getting through the quarter-final I - and plenty of others - was thinking &#039;this actually could happen&#039;. You get carried with it and I was like everyone else. I&#039;d started to fantasise about the final.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are entitled lớn get carried away, we haven&#039;t had many chances to do that in recent years, so why not? I would have been happy with a quarter-final before the tournament so lớn get that close has to be celebrated!</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>England have something solid to build on</b></font></p><p>Midfield is an area where there could be room for improvement. I think we saw that against Croatia. Their midfield dominated ours and they outclassed us.</p><p><br /></p><p>We need to retain the ball against the better teams. We played some lovely stuff against the more mediocre sides but we were unable to change our game against Croatia, a very good team, and we struggled.</p><p><br /></p><p>But now is not the time to nitpick. We still need to ride that wave of enjoyment and reflect on what it meant lớn us as a nation. We&#039;ve got our belief back!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not even thinking about the Euros yet, let&#039;s just enjoy the World Cup and look to start the next campaign in the same vein.</p><p><br /></p><p>Players will be looking ahead of course, especially those outside the squad and I do feel that young players will be inspired by the setup and the manager&#039;s approach, and they will know that if they play well they could get their opportunity with the Three Lions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Southgate has learned loads, too. He now knows which players can perform at a tournament. He has developed a style of play that he is trying to implement and improve. Goals and chances were a little hard to come by and I&#039;m sure Gareth will be working on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there are many positives in this team - the mentality, the ambience in the squad seemed lớn be right, there was a clarity lớn his workings. I performed better when there was that clarity and responded lớn that, and I think these players are the same. Southgate got it right in so many ways and I am looking forward to watching this squad grow and develop over the next few years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
