    England 1-2 Sweden

    England skipper Steph Houghton: "It's tough. The semi-final defeat wasn’t the best feeling and neither was that out there. We have given everything.

    "We have played seven games and we are dead on our feet, it's been tough mentally and physically. We showed great resilience in the second half. Well done Sweden."

    Asked where England have progressed, she added: "The style of play. I'm not going to sit here and say it’s perfect. There are so many things that we can improve on to be the best in the world."

    FT: England 1-2 Sweden

    England midfielder Karen Carney speaking to BBC Sport: "It was tough. We’ve given everything and part of me is glad we haven’t won it.

    "If we want to go and win the Olympics and the Euros, we have to have a fire in the belly. We have to dig deeper.

    "We should not be afraid to say that we want to win the gold medal. No disrespect to Sweden or this game, but I’m kind of glad we didn’t win."

    On playing her final game, she added: "I feel disappointment, I would have liked for the team to win. That might sound contradictory, but that’s life. It's tough, I don’t know what I'm feeling. I'm just disappointed for everyone."

    Sweden have won all three of their bronze medal matches at the Women’s World Cup, also beating Germany in 1991 and France in 2011.

    England were 0-2 behind after just 22 minutes against Sweden, the earliest they’ve ever been two goals down in a Women’s World Cup match.

    The Lionesses have lost back-to-back games at the Women’s World Cup for the first time.

    Don't be downhearted, Lionesses! You still did us proud and made your country fall in love with women's football! Tonight picture yourselves in Tokyo, celebrating Olympic gold with an imaginary cup of tea...

    The Sweden players go and celebrate with their families in the stands. There's lovely scenes here in Nice.

    England's players hang back. They are clearly gutted with this result.

    Colin Bundred: You can't complain about the effort put in by the English team. They gave it their all.

    Archie: Well played Sweden. The best team won.

    Robert Turpie: Lost, but should have won. Final ball not good enough. Lack of cutting edge. Huge potential there.

    The coaching staff and the rest of the team behind Sweden's success, come and join them. They are singing away.

    This is a brilliant achievement for a team ranked ninth in the world. They have beaten Germany and England to achieve this!

    Sweden looked fresher, we were slow out of the blocks and we were punished for it.

    That quality just wasn't there and we have not seen a full 90 minute performance from England at this tournament.

  19. 'Many champions have had to suffer before coming back'published at 18:07 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    England 1-2 Sweden

    England boss Phil Neville, speaking to BBC One: "I think maybe there was carry on from the semi-final - the emotion. The two goals sparked us into life and I don't think I have seen us play better than we did after those first 20 minutes. We gave it our best shot, we fell short and we just have to make sure next time we are better.

    "Well done to Sweden but it is a nonsense game. We are probably showing in those first 20 minutes the disappointment we felt from the USA game. We came here to win it, not finish fourth.

    "The players came here and delivered everything I wanted - the style of play. This is sport. We have to come back in four years time and be better. There are many champions that have had to suffer before coming back. We go home, we dissect and we breathe and then we get back on that horse again."

    I stand by what I said before - England have been the best footballing team to watch at the World Cup but it is the other things they need to improve on - the physicality and the fitness, that is down to the manager to make sure the players go away and do that.
