England manager Lee Carsley spoke to UEFA.com, touching on playing Israel, reaching the final, and his joy in coaching his squad: "It's a great achievement for the players. We spoke about creating our own history. We've done well up till now, but the next thing is the biggest thing. It comes in three days, so recovery will be important now.

"We knew (Israel) would be difficult to break down. I enjoyed the process of analysing Israel. They're a good team, a tough team. They've got a lot of spirit, and I'm delighted we had the chance to play them.

"All the credit goes to the squad, they're a very determined bunch. They have a lot of pride in possession, but also in the blocks and clearances. But there are still a lot of things we can sharpen up ahead of the next game.

"We've now mainly got to recover, and for the lads to get a bit of down time, and then look ahead to the final. They're so motivated to do well, I'm so lucky."
