What they're saying

"
Newcastle's Dan Burn says he is "very proud" of England's World Cup campaign, but Wednesday's semi-final exit to Argentina will "haunt me for a while". Burn was brought on in the 82nd minute alongside fellow defender Nico O'Reilly with the Three Lions 1-0 up, but could not perform similar heroics to those seen in previous rounds as the World Champions scored two late goals. "Gutted," Burn told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
