Obviously, we’re devastated by the result. We were<br />
down to ten men but almost made it to penalties. You<br />
have to say the better team won, but losing the <strong>World</strong><br />
Cup Final is hard to take. Spain created far more<br />
chances, but Arjen Robben twice came within inches<br />
<strong>of</strong> scoring for us. If he had, I think we’d have been<br />
world champions.<br />

This is an unforgettable moment. There’s a great<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> happiness in the dressing room right now.<br />
It’s hard to put it all into words and the way the<br />
players feel goes way beyond words. The satisfaction<br />
people feel goes way beyond sport and this is a<br />
reward that’s richly deserved. I’d like to thank the<br />
Spain fans for all their support. They’re enjoying this<br />
as much as the players.<br />
