It was a moment where we knew we were extremely disappointed and we knew we couldn't let that happen again and we wanted that to change. We knew that we could only make amends for that moment here at this World Cup and nothing else would fix what happened then. – Eric Dier	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
That is what we've been trying to do. Two years is a long period. It has been a long process since then and a lot has changed. We've put everything in place. We've learned from our mistakes, which is the most important thing, and we've made things right. – Eric Dier	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
It was the first time we relived it, you don't want to watch it back, but we knew how important it was, going into the World Cup, that we had to go back through it to come out stronger. – Dele Alli	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
Straight after that game you want the floor to eat you up. You want to hide and not come out of your room. You want to forget about it and lock yourself away. – Dele Alli	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

Post-match I heard that the organizers were planning to cancel my match if Monfils and Anderson went to a fifth. Luckily for me it didn't happen, the last couple of games I couldn't really see the ball very clearly, it was getting very dark... so I had to hang in there. – Novak Djokovic	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
Defensively I did my job, did what I needed to do, but I felt like in possession, obviously you want to be on the ball creating chances and being a threat. I felt like my movement was good, but on the ball I wasn't sharp enough, I didn't keep it as much as I should have, so to score, it gives you a lift. But I'm my own biggest critic. I know I can play better than that. – Dele Alli	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
I didn't feel nervous or anything like that. I don't really ever get nervous anyway. As players, we know that sometimes you can have games where your control isn't as good as it should be or your decision making isn't as sharp - and I felt like it was one of those games, but when it happens like that you have to make sure you are still benefiting the team and helping them as much as you can, off the ball. I helped the side like I always do and won the ball back as much as I could. I was in the right positions, so when it's like that you have to make sure you are doing the basics right. – Dele Alli	Found on Reuters 6 years ago

Last Saturday was a fantastic day at the championships. We had superb tennis going on and we were benefiting from modern technology where people were able to follow the football, enjoy it, without disturbing other people, i was out and about around the grounds and you could tell when Hopefully England had scored... Hopefully England was wonderful. We didn't receive a single complaint from anyone who was here who felt their enjoyment of the tennis was interrupted and I'm sure it'll be the same next Sunday. – Richard Lewis	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
What will happen next Sunday is Centre Court will be packed for the men's final and I'm sure people will be able to follow World Cup final, it's not unheard of for there to be a ripple of applause or a shout when something special happens in a football tournament, and I'm sure everybody will understand if it does. – Richard Lewis	Found on Reuters 6 years ago
It's been two years to try and understand these footballers, the human beings behind the footballers, and to try and get a group that shared the same ambition, not just to use the national team to improve their brand, we've strived to be as good as we could be at international level and it's taken us two years to get there.
