"There were times when we were bossing games. We created chances, we hit the woodwork, but the biggest disappointment was giving away two bad goals in a match against Italy that we basically dominated. But the boys put in a brilliant effort and I felt proud of them. But, from our side, the story of the tournament was not putting the ball in the back of the net. That's what football is all about and we weren't clinical enough in front of goal."
