In the World Cup semi-final played early this morning, England lost 1-2 to Argentina. After the match, Gordon shared his thoughts on the game in an interview in the mixed zone.
Gordon said: "This is the most heartbreaking way to lose a game. You're just minutes away from the World Cup final, you feel like you've done enough to win, and then you concede two goals in the final moments. It's just too hard to accept."
"When you have someone like Messi on your team, everything becomes easier. He only needs a moment to change the game, and that was the case tonight. That's why he's considered the greatest player of all time."
"This will be his third time in the World Cup final, and I don't think any other player has ever achieved that. We salute his achievement, but from our perspective, it's a painful moment because we feel like we're so close to it."
“I’ve watched Messi influence the game for Barça for years, and today I realized he’s even better than I thought. I’m disappointed by this elimination, but at least I know the World Cup will be won by people who are crazy about Barça.”
