“We fought well against a fine opponent. England is among the football elite, and we especially played fiercely in the first half. I think the final score is too high compared to what we showed. It’s a shame about the two goals in the last 10 minutes. We tried to play, but it’s not easy to achieve that against England, who will either win the Euro or get to the final rounds. We need to keep improving on everything that was good.”

One of the players who made his debut tonight was Armin Gigović, who started the match from the first minute: “I’m proud to have debuted for Bosnia and Herzegovina against such an opponent. Unfortunately, we lost, but I think there were many good things in our game. We had few chances in the first half. Even though there are many new players, we didn’t look disjointed, on the contrary. Now we’re preparing for the match against Italy.”
