The semi-final may have been a game too far for England but what a journey it\\u2019s been. Gareth the Lionheart\\u2019s young team fell short but gave us memories that we\\u2019ll cherish forever. Knighthoods for all!


We look back over England\\u2019s tournament with fondness, surprise and a little bit of curiosity about what could have been. That\\u2019s more like it.


We also discuss the irrelevances that are the third place play-off and the final.
