England striker Wayne Rooney has revealed that his teammates are feeling "gutted" following their penalty shootout to Italy in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012.
With neither side able to make the breakthrough after extra time in Kiev, misses from Ashley Young and Ashley Cole saw the Azzurri win 4-2 from the spot.
"It was a horrible way to go out," said Rooney. "We are all gutted.
"It was a tough game and we all worked hard, so to lose on penalties is a horrible feeling for everyone."
Italy will now meet Germany on Thursday for a place in the final.
