Roy Hodgson has paid tribute to England's travelling fans after their World Cup ended with a draw against Costa Rica.
England are due to touch down on home soil on Wednesday morning following their extremely disappointing World Cup campaign.
"We are very grateful for the emotional moment at the end where they showed their support," said Hodgson, who has the full support of the Football Association despite the team's poor showing in Brazil.
"We are so sad and disappointed for them because we know what they're going through.
"We had nothing to play for, and our fans appreciated that by giving us an ovation that, obviously, our results didn't merit."
