"It remains an incredible privilege to lead this team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark (Bullingham, FA chief executive), John (McDermott, technical director) and the board for their support - and of course the players and support team for their hard work. Milot Rashica's low drive was well struck but straight at McCarthy before substitute Josh Sargent had a shot blocked when Pukki was free to his right. And then I'm not good enough because of the colour of my skin to be the head coach?" "We felt it was important to qualify (before signing) so there was no question on focus. We are looking forward to the next few years to make some new memories."
