why did england loose the world cup so early? and why do we never win?

Answer 1

before the cup, england were one of the favourites to win the world cup. basically because of their big four midfeilders who were said to be the best set of midfeilds in the world. however sven could not make beckham, gerrard, lampard and jo cole work together well enough. they also had problems with their strikers. rooney wasn't ready for the cup since he was injured while playing for man utd. owen got injured during the cup and had to go back home. the biggest problem was that gerrard and lampard could not cooperate even though many say that their positions were more free and they had more space than when playing for their clubs. i think the one to blame is sven. eventhough i'm not a big fan of england's football team so i have to agree that england played exciting games and they had team spirit and were very motivated. but since sven came in. he was kind of a "safety first" person.
i mean like if the english were in the lead, even just a 1-0 lead. he would switch to defensive and sometimes its boring and people say that attacking is the best way to defend.

Answer 2

we could have went to the semi finals but these are the reasons why we lost the world cup early
1. we should have use the 4-4-2 formation instead of the 4-5-1 cuz Wayne Rooney cant attack by himself
2. we have great players on the team but Sven didnt take advantage of that especially the all star midfielders
3. we suck at penalty kicks
4. our key players were either injured or red card. the players were David Beckham, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney (red carded)
5. Sven didnt really give the team engery and he didnt really tell them what to do and how to do it. he didnt take control of the team and so thats why some of the team didnt work together

those are some of the reasons why we lost the world cup early. we could have won because we have some of the best players in the world: David Beckham, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, and Gary Neville. just to name a few.

Answer 3

England is simply overrated.. allot of people would think they would be the best team because of the premiership league and if you really look at it most teams top players are not English they are from other countries from S. America, Holland, France etc....so deep in England fans heads they think they have the best players cause of the clubs like Man. U, Arsenal, Chelsea and so on, that is the reason. its the same down in Spain same reason most their big teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on all great players but from other countries. England in the early years of world cup they thought they where to good for the rest of the world and they finally joined the WC 1950 and lost bad and probably the worst upset in football history by losing to USA 1-0. so now you know why England loses the world cup cause they do have a good team but are highly overrated.

Answer 4

Well, although England did have a great team this year. They did not play as well as they could have played. However, they did play very well against Portugal, and deserved to win that one, but just got quite unlucky as they have in the past. With David Beckham injured, and Wayne Rooney red-carded, they were down by two players. However, the fact that they did not allow Portugal to score during the match and at the two overtimes is proof of how well they were playing. It was just terrible luck in the penalty shootout. Portugal did not do well, really, in fact they missed two by themselves, so England had a really good chance, but Ricardo is just too good at saving penalties, I guess. England should have kicked the penalties better, though. Paul Robinson is a good goalkeeper, he was just under a lot of pressure. All in all, England just had bad luck. Don't worry about it, the Lions will be back to win it in 2010.

Answer 5

Great dissapointment to see England go home so fast. First of all, lack of teamwork. During one the games (vs Ghana I think) we saw Ashley Cole all by himself defending the net due to a poor clearance by Terry. Why was he alone there? Beckham lost his dribbling skills and opted for long passes who Rooney, could barely receive. Lack of proper training was really obvious. All our wins were due to luck, and nothing else. Rarely we could see end pieces take their toll. England lose because becoming the Favorites went up to their heads. On top of that, the climate really played a role on how the players felt on the pitch. England doesn't get that hot guys...Becks puked on the field once due lack of hydratation. We had the skills, but not the will and physical shape. We really needed Owen after the game with Sweeden, his departure has greatly shoked team. The whole team was letting Rooney (5-4-1) and Becks (marksman) to drive the team into the final. For a team to win, it takes all 11 players to give in 100%, not two. I still don't get why Rooney was alone there, after his injury. In the end, we delivered good or bad, we delivered. More practive on penalty shots, and better hope and faith next time. We never win because we cocky on the field. Why is Real Madrid not so good, despite all the huge names in has? We need to play as a team, and live as a team. Know eachothers moves before they even come.

Answer 6

1. The former manager unable to inspire his players and they all knew he is on his way out.
2. England has always selected players based on reputation and not who is playing well. Example Trevor Francis, Keegan and recently 2 world cups, beckham and now owen. These are favourite players but they are not fully fit or playing well before the world cup starts.
3. Lack of depth. Brazila and France and Germany have so much depth that they could afford to leave out big names and bring "unknowns" and still win the cup

Answer 7

1. The team didn't gel properly- we weren't working well together as a team.

2. Halfway throught the tournament we gave up 4-4-2 formation and opted for 4-5-1, leaving Rooney isolated at the front.

3. Sven didn't bring enough strikers, period.

4. We can't shoot penalties.

5. Sven cocked things up and admitted so afterwards.

Answer 8

Before worldcup England was great team with great players. I want to blame sven for the worse performance in WC. He knew that his two great players were injured so he could take alternatives like Defoe fowler. But he took wallcot who never appered in the tournament which made the attacking poor for england. He could use 4-4-2 formation putting Gerrard at front as he had more alternatives in midfield like hargraves and carrick. I dont like to balme defense as they performed great. In my opinion A.cole played best in defensive position.
The other factor is luck as the great players were injured during the worldcup camping. lets hope steve will improve the team in upcoming days

Answer 9

Because England sucks.... Portugal Rules!!!!!(haha) Also because England is really dependent on their set players (like Rooney and Beckham) there should get the ball out to other playeers on the team!!! Goo Portugal!!!

Answer 10

England has a victory, in 1966. keep in mind that purely one united states of america out of the total international can win. the very incontrovertible certainty that England often comes close says that they are between the international's powers interior the game.
