The Swiss said later:  “I feel like I let the team down, I feel like I let my whole country down. I try to take responsibility. I had the feeling that I was going to score, but yes I shot the wrong way and I was not precise enough.

“I wish them (England) good luck for the tournament. Above all, I wish them not to get hurt. It is the most important. We'll see how far they go."
