That's your opinion. I think that when they play their best they would be capable of reaching the semi final at least. If we could say for certain that this team can reach the quarter finals, that team can reach the final etc there would be no point, and no excitement, in the contest. Whether you're just anti England or being objective, the difference between success an failure is a fine line. England weren't outplayed and the result could have gone their way.

I think we would do better if the politics were taken out of the game. We have a good team who unfortunately like many of the other favoured teams played below par. However this is made increasingly more difficult when not only do we have to play a team but also the refs too. Tell me that all refs run a fair-play game!!!!! I think were face difficulties simply because we are England, just look at the Eurovision!

This is a silly question. Because England has the most popular and best professional football league in the world, which of course would lead fans to believe that they must have the best players in the world. Of course they have some of the best players in the world, but not THE best. Brazil does, even though they bowed out early. They have the best players, they just under-performed.

Why did Brazil think they could get through by just passing the ball around like they weren't in a World Cup game? Even when down by one-nil? Adding to that, why did they think they could get through when they were as mediocre as some of the other teams?
We would have gotten through if it weren't for the ref, giving a free kick every time a Portuguese player went down, as if an invisible force had pushed them.

Because they are arrogant, i support england but anyone with eyes can tell you they were lucky to get as far as they did because their players simply did not rise to the occassion.
I don't know why everyone pinned their hopes on wayne rooney because he is one man in a team of 11 and since he was injured he should not have been picked.
It was pathetic seeing a bunch of grown men cry when they were thrashed by portugal.

No one can argue that England has some of the best players in the world and had our coach utilised those players in a different way we may still be in the world cup.
Why can we not have belief and passion in our nations success.

Perhaps they need to stop and realise how many foreign players are chosen for domestic premiership teams ahead of would be England players.
If they aren't good enough to play for a winning domestic team then why should their National team do any better?
They also have to realise that we English are world champions at so many other sports, such as ....nope struggling to name any!

Because at the end of the day we held portugal to a draw even though we only had 10 men for an hour! that shows that if Wayne rooney hadn't got himself sent off, we could have won that match. so yeah i think we were unlucky.

because the history says so, england won the world cup many times before this and will for more times to come.

Because they could have it was very close, it went to penalties with 10 men didn't it? But i don't think they would have got any further after that.
