The inspiration was you, your majesty.
Queen Elizabeth II wrote to the England women's boss after the Lionesses won the Euros.
The Queen inspired as a mother figure for people to seek stability and peace.
The Queen showed the world what it is to be British, according to England's men's boss.
The Queen wrote to the coach of the England women's soccer team after they won the World Cup.
She said that we were an inspiration for girls and women. It is you who inspired you with your work ethic, leadership, dignity and kindness.
The national anthem was sung with respect by my players and staff. We wrote the words'send her victorious' on our shirts.
My thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom at this sad time.
In remembering and celebrating the life of the Queen, we are acknowledging her remarkable leadership and lifetime of dignified service.
"Her values, her dignity, her resilience were an example to us all and she has provided us with stability and reassurance in the most difficult of times."
There will be a period of silence before England's Nations League fixture with Germany at Wembley on September 26th.
The team will be able to pay their respects at the game against Germany later this month.
It will bring to mind the World Cup final in 1966 and the moment Her Majesty handed the Jules Rimet trophy to Bobby Moore.
I will think of that and her 70 years of service when Wembley and the country are quiet.
