英格蘭主教練埃裏克松表示，在世界盃決賽階段點球敗給葡萄牙隊不太公平，這對他即將結束的英格蘭執教生涯來説也是個痛苦的結尾。
“我不認為我們該輸這場比賽。我們在點球上失敗，我真的很遺憾。隊員們應該有更好的結果。他們非常艱苦的比賽，但是這是10打11。我們的世界盃之旅結束了，這令我們難過...很痛苦。我們練了很多點球，所以我不知道我們還能怎麼做。”
斯科拉裏對英格蘭隊在魯尼下場後的表現讚揚有加：“祝賀英格蘭，有10個隊員他們表現的令人難以置信。這像一場充了電的比賽。我們並沒有佔什麼優勢，因為我們的射門隨多但大都是在禁區外。英格蘭隊很好的封鎖了進球線路，好像11人打11人一樣。”

原文:World-Eriksson says England defeat hurts
(Adds more quotes from coaches)
GELSENKIRCHEN, July 1 (Reuters) - England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said defeat to Portugal in a World Cup penalty shootout on Saturday was unfair and a painful end to his stint in the job.
"I don't think we deserved to lose...We lost on penalties and I'm really sorry about it. The boys deserved better today," he told reporters.
"They fought enormously when it was 10 against 11 but anyhow we lost," added Eriksson. England were reduced to 10 men in the 62nd minute when Wayne Rooney was sent off.
"We are out of the tournament and it hurts...it's very painful," he added.
"We practise penalties so much so I don't know what you can do more about that," he added.
England lost 3-1 on penalties to Portugal after a scoreless 120 minutes.
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has steered Portugal to the semi-finals after winning the World Cup with his native Brazil four years ago.
Portugal will play France or Brazil in the semi-final in Munich on Wednesday.
Scolari paid tribute to the way England responded to the loss of Rooney. "Congratulations to England, with 10 players they were incredible, it was an electrifying match," he told reporters.
"We didn't take advantage because we shot too much from outside the penalty area. England closed the way to goal very well and it was like playing 11 against 11."
