Gareth Bale’s verdict
Everyone’s disappointed but we’re all proud of what we’ve achieved to get here. We have to look how far we’ve come. Of course we wanted to get out of the group, but football’s difficult. We didn’t live up to our expectations at this tournament.
If you’d told us two years ago that we would play in a World Cup, we’d have all pinched ourselves. We’ll all walk out of that changing-room with our held high and proud of each other. It’s been difficult at this tournament, we haven’t played very well. But we’ve given everything and we won’t have any regrets.
I’ll keep going as long as I can and as long as I’m wanted. It’s a difficult moment now but we go again.
