England U21 coach Stuart Pearce says he wants to carry on, despite a dismal Euros.

Pearce's contract expires at the end of the month but, despite making his desire to stay public, there have been few positive noises from the Football Association.

"It was a real poor performance," Pearce said.

"In regard to my future, my mentality has not changed in 10 days, when I spoke to you (the press) and gave you the heads up on what my mentality would be.

"Results in this tournament have not effected that one iota.

"I've no idea [whether this will impact my chances]. When you look around Europe over six years and see that our team is the only team that has been here four times running.

"We've lost very few games, bar this tournament, in tournament football over the years and played some very good football over that time, so there's a middle ground somewhere.

"We've not performed in this tournament that's for sure, there might be a multitude of reasons for that. I have to take it on the chin and obviously the players do as well."
