YOUTH: England's World Cup failure

4:17pm Wednesday 14th July 2010 in Opinion & Blogs

After England's shameful 4-1 defeat against Germany that knocked us out of the World Cup can England actually reclaim a title in any sport?

England's defeat has been described as "a disgrace to the country" and the harsh comments just sum up England's disastrous performance.

England's hope of winning the World Cup had been demolished. Is it Fabio Capello’s fault that England didn’t perform to a high enough standard? Or is it the team's fault for just not trying?

Whatever made England play so badly I am sure that every England supporter wishes that they would not do it again and embarrass the country even more than they have.

Some people say ‘in the good old days England would have won’ but what about today? Will we ever win the World Cup again? Only time will tell.
