    I don't know where they get it from. They dug deep. Life is horrible sometimes. It's really tough. You get a kick in the teeth and we had a massive kick in the teeth the other day. But we wanted to show the world today, everyone has a tough time, dust yourself down and go again.

    England's players continue to cavort around the pitch. They now launch into the 'Yaya Toure - Kolo Toure dance'. Bit left field but, hey, they've won a World Cup bronze medal.

    England are making the most of this. Skipper Steph Houghton waves both fists in the air as she makes her way to collect her bronze medal.

    Credit to the Germans as they stand and politely applaud but that is clearly the last place they want to be me at this moment...

    England have performed out of their skins. At the final whistle they fell to their knees, they had nothing left. Wow, to beat Germany, the number one ranked team in the world. That is just amazing.

    I could not be prouder for everything these girls have achieved. Previous teams never believed they could beat Germany but this team, had the belief. They had all the characteristics - technically, tactically, physically and psychologically. It is a new era for women's football.
