England manager Gareth Southgate reacted to his team’s loss to France and the 2022 World Cup exit.
In the past two major tournaments, England have reached the 2018 World Cup semi-final and Euro 2020 final, leading many fans to believe this year was their chance to go one step further and lift an international trophy. .
However, reigning world champions France were able to see out the very close tie and continue on their quest to win back-to-back World Cups. Les Bleus scored two on the night through Aurelien Tchouameni and Olivier Giroud, and the Three Lions could only conjure up one goal in return.

The coach has given his opinion on the defeat. Southgate said: “I don’t think the players could have given more, they played very well against a top team.
