England's Rio reveals his WC heartbreak in the Sun:

"I'm gutted. I genuinely went into this tournament believing that we would get to the semi-finals at least — and I would have been disappointed with that.

"It's embarrassing if I'm being honest. I was a bit embarrassed to set foot outside the door when I went shopping with my girlfriend Rebecca.

"If I was a fan I would be desperately disappointed. I would have expected more than what we gave them. We didn't do ourselves justice. Individually we have a lot of fantastic players but it's about being able to gel in all departments as a team and we didn't do that.

"The whole way through the tournament the thing that let us down was that we didn't finish teams off."
