Auf Wiedersehen England

It should of been 2-2 before half time. Frank Lampard's calculated lob over the German goalkeeper, would of made a game of this contest. Unquestionably, England would of gone on to win Sunday's match against the talented but inexperience German team.

However, the disallowed goal should not mask the painful fact that England defended woefully in this game and did not put in a good performance in any of the four matches they played. I am genuinely at a lost to think why the so called Golden Generation did not perform as they truly can. Unlike other commentators I still believe that the England team are filled with world class players who would adorn most international sides.

Do I think Fabio Capello should go? The short answer is No. The Italian is still a world class manager and with a little luck (which clearly deserted the side in Bloemfontein) and team spirit this side will still be a formidable outfit come the European Championships in 2012.

With England out of the World I am focusing my attention on Andy Murray - Anyone for Tennis!!
