John Terry has insisted that England must move on after the defat by Croatia to knock them out of Euro 2008. Terry believes he is still haunted by the memories of the 3-2 defeat by Croatia at Wembley.

Although Terry was not involved in the defeat by Croatia at Wembley, he is clearly outspoken with his views on the defeat.

"It's going to take a very long time for the public to get over it.

"For us as well, you don't want to come out of your house or people to see you.

"As time goes on things heal and it gets easier but at the same time when you walk down the street or are out you wonder whether people are looking at you but life goes on."

"It was very disappointing as captain this happening but we have to make it work in the World Cup now.

"The draw has been made and we have a chance. The players need to reform and have a good chat about what direction we are going to move in and go forward.

"It would be nice to play Croatia and get what happened out of our system.

"They are a good side and it will be tough home and away. They showed how hungry they were at Wembley and that surprised a few of us because they had already qualified.

"We will have to face that wherever we go in the world and that is firmly in our minds. Hopefully that will help us do ourselves justice in the qualifiers.

"We have got a chance to prove ourselves in that group and we need that, the country needs it. We can do that and bring the country up again and get the fans back on our side. We have let them down and will move on."
