World Cup 2022: Gareth Southgate should remain England boss because he has unfinished business - Alan Shearer
'Players appear to like and respect Southgate'
But I really hope he decides to carry on to the next tournament as well, and hopefully he feels he has unfinished business with this exciting young England team. We start the journey to those finals with our first qualifier against Italy in March, in a repeat of last year's final. We should line up with the core of players who have played so well here, and Gareth is still their leader.
I thought France's approach might suit our centre-halves and full-backs, who deal with those sort of deliveries every week, but ultimately that is how the game has been decided, with a wily old fox like Olivier Giroud finding a yard of space in the box.On the plus side, we went toe to toe with the holders and favourites to win this World Cup, played well and created lots of chances. It just wasn't meant to be.
I feel for Harry, but that is the life of a top striker. You always have to put yourself forward for such a huge moment. You can't score with every chance you have, but some chances are bigger and mean more than others, so that one will hurt like hell.The biggest penalty I ever missed was for Newcastle against Sunderland in 2000 - and I still think about it now.
Instead, we are going home, but I am sure the younger members of our team can use this experience to help them the next time we reach this stage.
