Portugal defeat 'toughest in my life' says Eriksson
Former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has said he found it "difficult" to go in to the dressing room and speak to his players after defeat in his final game as manager in 2006.
"What do you tell the players?" he said recalling the penalty loss to Portugal in the World Cup quarter-finals.
The match was "a very tough defeat. The toughest of my life", Eriksson said.
England's supporters "should be optimistic" ahead of this summer's World Cup, Eriksson said.
