Rude: The England fan reveals his belly - and a bit more - during the shootout last night

On Monday the England team flew home after their dramatic defeat. David Cameron said the players had made 'the country proud' with their performances at the tournament. The Prime Minister said he watched the game but joked that as it wore on there was a feeling that it would probably end on penalties.

Ashley Young and Ashley Cole missed the crucial spotkicks as England bowed out of the competition. Italy will play Germany in the semi-finals.

Mr Cameron said Roy Hodgson’s men had put on a 'great display' by going through the group stages.

He said: 'I watched the match and I thought England showed a lot of heart, and a lot of spirit and a lot of dogged determination, as you’d expect.

'There were some brilliant individual performances and a real team effort but sadly, as has happened before, you sort of felt as you were watching that it will probably end on penalties and you knew how penalties may probably end.'
