“I’ve been in here with a full house and not heard it near the levels heard today, but the energy was incredible in the stadium. To be able to send them home feeling as they do tonight… and you can’t beat a bit of ‘Sweet Caroline’, that’s a belter really! “For those people, after such a difficult year at home, to have that enjoyment we’ve given them today was very special. “It’s a dangerous moment for us. We have a feeling round the country that we only have to turn up to win the thing now; but it’s going to be an immense challenge from here on. The players’ feet are on the ground, they should feel confident from the way they’ve played, but we came here with an intention and we’ve not achieved that yet. England maks it to the finals after defeating Germany.
