France reached the FIFA World Cup semifinal, where they will face Morocco.
Speaking during the Viacom18 Sports’ FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 presentation, Rooney said that England has a young squad and should look ahead.
“It was always going to be a tight game. England showed that they are a very good team. They certainly deserved to take it to extra time,” said Rooney.
He added, “France have that know-how of winning the tournament and getting results maybe, when they are not at their best. So, it is a shame, for some moments, certainly for Harry Kane. He has been a leader for so many years. He will be feeling really down tonight. But we can be proud of this England team. They gave everyone hope. They still have a really young squad and should look forward to the next tournament.”
