Liverpool's Belgium goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has sympathy for his England clubmates over their dismal World Cup.
Amid reflections on Sunday's narrow 1-0 win over Russia, the goalkeeper admitted that he felt for the half-a-dozen Reds representing England.
Mignolet said: "I felt sorry for the boys, because they've got a really good team and I was hoping that England could go on longer in the World Cup.
"But they were in a very tough group with a lot of competition - Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica as well. It wasn't easy for them. Hopefully they'll recover from that."
