The head coach of the England national team, Gareth Southgate, urged his wards not to pay attention to criticism after the draw with the USA (0:0).
Gareth Southgate, Getty Images— Are you saying that the fans booed us? I don't think it was sent to our address. Look, I want our fans to go home happy and smiling. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that today. But people react the way they react and I can't let that affect the team or my feelings about it.
Our goal is to reach the next stage, and for that we have three matches. I think most teams in the tournament will need all three matches. And we must remain calm at such moments. We have already been in a similar situation and I know how it is for a player and for a coach.
I'm sure there will be a lot of noise now. This is a tournament with a lot of buzz around it. I'm sure we've become resistant to it. However, we can still win our group and that should be our aim, Gareth Southgate said.
