As the Three Lions lost in the final, Cook watched on and wondered about what may have been.
Cook told the Daily Echo: “Yes, I think so.
“I think I’ve said before, if you’re an English player in the Premier League, the aim should be to play for the national team, because you’re in one of the best leagues in the world and if you’re performing at a level, maybe there’s a chance.
“But the depth in the England squad in general is ridiculous, so you’ve just got to try and work your hardest to force your way into the team.
“That’s what everyone should be trying to do.”
