Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph believes England's World Cup players need to make the most of their run to the semifinals.

Delph says it's an opportunity for the players to make a positive difference across English society.

He declared: “The tournament was going so well, from when we started the camp the atmosphere and energy was electric. It was great.

"To lose the game initially was like 'what have we done?'. We were kicking ourselves, we should have been in the final.

“At the back of our minds in the days and weeks and years to come we might be kicking ourselves as I genuinely felt we would win.

“We need to continue that, we need to continue to be good role models and try to help the young guys to look up to us and try to do what we have done."
