He thinks it's a good day for football.""I personally am surprised - I have so much admiration for how the team worked."England 2018 bid ambassador Lord Coe has said it is still too early to know where their campaign went wrong.Lord Coe - who led London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics - believes England put together as strong an argument as possible."I think it's too early to draw any conclusions over why we lost. We are clearly disappointed and will get a better understanding of what's happened as the days pass by," he said."I do congratulate Russia, they are staging the world's greatest football competition in their own back yard and it's up to them now to make it a roaring success."He added, "we are still trying to get our minds around what has taken place over the last two hours. The campaign was strong, I don't think the team that were here could have done any more than they did."The Prime Minister made two trips, the future king of England and the most iconic face in English sport. This was a good camapaign."Source: Goal.com
