Charlotte said: “I think they put in the effort and took part, which is wonderful. I’m not a football fan but I am very proud of the team.”

Hank said: “I don’t follow football but I like to see England do well. What can you say? Southgate did the best he could.”

Debra said: “Gareth Southgate is a good manager, but I think it’s time we had someone else in now. I don’t think Southgate should do the next World Cup. He has been the manager long enough.”
