People think we don't give a toss about the game, but when I walked out of Windsor Park that night I felt lower than a snake's belly. The reality is still there. No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered. We don't like the criticism and after the Austria and Poland games we want to be able to go outside with our chests out and our heads held high. There is a lot of pressure on us, but if you can't handle that then you shouldn't be wearing an England shirt. We have got to all go into these two games with our hearts pumping and ready to give everything we've got for our country.
