The semi-final may have been a game too far for England but what a journey it’s been. Gareth the Lionheart’s young team fell short but gave us memories that we’ll cherish forever. Knighthoods for all!
We look back over England’s tournament with fondness, surprise and a little bit of curiosity about what could have been. That’s more like it.
We also discuss the irrelevances that are the third place play-off and the final.
