Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has praised the efforts of Gareth Southgate and the England team despite crashing out of the World Cup on Saturday.
The Three Lions bowed out of the tournament courtesy of a 2-1 defeat against France at the Al Bayt Stadium, with Harry Kane missing a late penalty to condemn the Three Lions to a quarter-final exit.
Aurelien Tchouameni had put France in front with a terrific 25-yard effort, before Kane levelled from the spot to bring England back into the game. However, Les Bleus re-took the lead against the run of play as Antoine Griezmann's cross was met by Olivier Giroud, who powered an effort into the corner to put his side ahead.
