I ask myself who wears the kit on the pitch to go and actually do the job...

I blame it on that yank for scoring in the last minute against Algeria it would have been so different. Finish top play Ghana, beat them then in next round. You can tell I'm clinging at straws lol .

Any money they earn from this mess should be donated to something...Its tantamount to theft.
Luckily there is no reason to do this for this world cup but when this shower of sh1t manage to win a game the word 'heroes' is wheeled out by the red tops all too easily...They kick a ball (badly) around a park for 90 mins ffs...Its not as if the oppositions defence has been issued with light machine guns!

Its a mixture.
Whenever England take to the pitch at this level they come up against players who either have more skill and intelligence than they have, or who are better drilled and organised than they are, or a mixture of both. The more skillful players run rings around ours whilst the better organised teams, with players not necessarily as 'good' as ours squeeze, frustrate and out-think us. The end result is what we've seen in S Africa, performances that lack the guile or subtelty to break down stubborn opponents and the skill to out play better ones. England, alongside France, have stunk this world cup out.
Looking at Capello, he was supposed to be a no-nonsense sensible and pragmatic manager, not one to be sentimental or take risks. So what does he do? Takes Ledley King who doesn't train fully for Spurs as a kingpin central defender and leaves behind Walcott, who destroyed Croatia on his own in the qualifiers, because he didn't do what Fabio wanted him to in a warm-up game. He plays his captain and best midfield player out of position on the left leaving Rooney isolated and feeding on scraps up front.
And yes, the media go absolutely mental whenever England are playing in a major championship. Never mind our Welsh and Scots friends, even I got sick of the Terry Venables advert, the newspapers taking three or four pages to cover the expectations of game we haven't played yet, the Sun with its predictable jingoistic headlines, the supermarkets with England flags attached to offers on ale, pizzas and just about any other tat to boot, the constant visits to the England camp to check up on the progress of Rooneys little toe, etc etc etc.
Put it all together and we get a country that works itself up into a lather over players and a manager who ultimately will let them down.
As a veteran of numerous world cups and Euro champs I used to get bothered by these ignominious exits. Can't be bothered now.

The gits cost me a new fancy radiator for my new house, I had money riding on this game.....
If only we could have kept the score 2-1 Germany I would have been £120 better off, I did have money on an England win too but that only gave a £25 return.

got to agree,I always said the next comp would be the one. Going to Egypt on Tuesday was hoping to watch England next weekend but it wasn't to be. Will watch the rest of the games which are on at night time but it won't be the same.

It's all Sir Michael Philip "Mick" Jagger's fault. He even managed to jinx the Spams last night, so all is not lost.

It's not the losing - that's fair enough - it's the ignominious way they just failed to perform, in pretty much every game.
I haven't been so fed up with England Football since Euro 92 - and to be fair, I'd argue we had a better team then, Graham "Turnip" Taylor notwithstanding.

DT_Xtremez_09:Could have sworn 3 weeks ago i said we would be out by the 1/4's with a back four containing Terry and Johnson............... and that was before we even knew Mr Upson was going to be playing............. Hands up everyone who gloated when Rio got injured. At least he might have brought some ...... what's the words I'm looking for? oh yeah "organization to the defence". Two players come out of this with any credit A Cole and S Gerrard. ( and thats from a United fan)
Still some of us know our football and others turn up every 4 years.
Now sneak out quietly and remove the flags from yer cars

No guts or passion from the players, crap squad/team/formation selection from the manager - absolutely fcuking disgraceful. They should all hang their heads in shame and Fabio should resign as soon as he gets to Heathrow.******'s the lot of 'em.

That was obviously a different S Gerrard and A Cole that was playing in the game I was watching, neither could cross a ball and one should have been defending for a couple of the German goals. James this game was about the best a bad bunch. All were dire and thats why they are coming home.
A more national team focused set up across the country. Paying the best wages doesn't always mean the best players. Germany have made the semis in nearly every world cup since 1958, they have more youth academies and the whole league is set up around the national team, and it seems to work.
If all the england players are so amazing how come very few of them play outside england? I think if more of them played in spain and Italy etc they pick up a different way of playing and be used the different types of football that other countries play.
We've been * for years, last european side we knocked out of a world cup finals?
Belgium 1990.

Sad doesn't cover it for me utter dismay just about works. Where to start with Capello's squad? How about our center back duo. We have in the managers eyes Terry and Ferdinand. Ferdinands knackered his knee so his back up is Ledley King a bloke with wonky knees who can't train, Kings back up is Jamie Carragher a chap who has personally "retired" from international football and is perhaps passed his best though an honest pro who will try, he's suspended, his back up is Matthew Upson a defensive player of such internation renoun and quality that his club finsh in the bottom quarter of the premiership. Michael Carrick rarely puts a foot wrong yet never got on the pitch. Got to stop now totally gutted by the whole thing.
