Boothroyd said: “If we’re going to get out the group, we need to get maximum points.

“We’re all very disappointed but we have no time for sulking. If you don’t take your chances and stop your opponent, you put yourself in a vulnerable position.

“We could quite easily have gone in 3-0 [up] at half-time [against France]. I thought we were the better team by a long way in the first half.”

But Boothroyd’s team has not gone well with some supporters, who cannot believe City starlet Foden starts on the bench after his wonder goal against the French.
