LONDON (Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate hailed his team for reaching their first tournament final in 55 years but said Italy, their opponents in Sunday's decider, will be a "massive hurdle".

Southgate and the England players stayed on the field after the final whistle singing "Sweet Caroline" with the fans and he suggested that was enough celebrating -- for now.
