England are out! No true surprise as I didn't believe the team was strong enough prior to the tournament.

I haven't blamed Capello for the loss or the pathetic performances but yesterday when I saw him making horrific excuses it angered me. He said that he believed our players were "tired" and would benefit from a winter break.

Mr. Capello, does Manchester City's Carlos Tevez look tired with Argentina? Does City's Nigel De Jong look tired with Holland? Does Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt look tired for Holland? The list of premier league players that are performing well for their countries exposes Capello's views.

We were not good enough, why? The players that have been turned into gods by the media aren't that good!

The Sun newspaper have whipped us all up into hysterics believing that Rooney is "the white pele" and players like Lampard and Terry are world class!

We have good players, but good won't win us tournaments! The closest we have to world class in our team are Rooney and Gerrard. The Brazilian team have genuine world class performers, as does the Argentinian team, and this is why they are genuine contenders. England are not up there with these type of teams and their performances showed as much.

If this lot are the golden generation, I don't believe i'll ever see a side that can repeat the heroics of '66

We need to go back to the drawing board!

The problem isnt the quality of players, the fact is Gerrard, Rooney, Ashley Cole, Lampard are all pretty close to world class, and the likes of Terry and Johnson are the step down. The problem is getting them to play as a team and not as a group of star players. The quality of the players themselves isnt the problem, its their ability to gel the way Spain and Brazil do. My two cents worth...

hmm Spain and Brazil do gel as a side but they also have individuals players that are genuine world class. These two factors combined it was makes them serious world cup contenders.

England could perform better if they were more of a team, but they would come unstuck ultimately because the players aren't world class standard.
