England have been poor all tournament and frankly deserved to be unceremoniously dumped out of the World Cup today. They gave the Germans way too much space leaving David James very exposed which ultimate caused this humiliating defeat. For a team that collectively get paid tens of millions each year; it was a piss poor performance. My bet is that Capello will quit when he arrives back in the UK; great manager at club level; not so good at international level; qualifying well is one thing, but if that performance can not be emulated in the tournament itself; those results are worthless. Hopefully this will cause a shake up of the way English football works as players like Rooney, Terry, Lampard, Gerrard and co get automatic places and consistently fail to perform on the big stage in an England shirt!
You cant make Capello the scape goat on this, England have gone through something like nine managers since 1966, surely all of them cant have been wrong? I seen 11 reasons on the pitch why they lost TBH.
Bottom line is England are no where near as good as the media like to pump them up to be, they have won the world cup once ....
ever! and that was probably more due to the fact they were the host nation than anything else, if they were as good as the media would have you believe then they would have had a bit more success than they have had.
