Thought I get everyone's opinion on England's exit at the World Cup and who is to blame for England's getting knocked out.

No results in thread titles, please.

I know, I know. But rules are rules.

(Haha, Bobby talking about rules.)

It's definitely the players. Gerrard and Lampard aren't working well together, Rooney is getting nothing done at the attacking side of the half and they just aren't compact enough at the defense. It felt like they had no team chemistry whatsoever.

What is England blaming? wasn't goal.

This is nature's way of balancing out injustice in this world. I don't consider that shot to be a goal at all, yet the refs decided that it was. This time, they took away an obvious goal and have made it even.

England just looked far too tense and nervous throughout the tournament, and I suspect that unhealthy pressure is caused by the British media, who often love to hate their team.

This. Capello usually is pretty unflappable, but he looked completely unsure of his selections the whole tournament too.

I'll tell you what it is, this day has been coming for twenty years. Ever since England were eliminated in Italia 90 we've somehow believed we have a devine right to win the World Cup. Fuelled by the media, who turn on a dime - either we're world beaters - or we're awful.

A game administered by a bunch of brown suited idiots in their ivory tower, driven by advertising revenue. Everything the FA does falls to pieces - they couldn't even build a bloody stadium!

So they pay foreign managers to fix it, at exhorbitant rates of pay. The press applies the pressure on any man who takes the helm - they practically pick the team. The prime case of this is the Lampard / Gerrard puzzle - would any other nation try to accomodate both? Certainly Spain don't with Xabi, Iniesta and Cesc.

We get a promising youngster and immediately throw the weight of the nation on them - we could well have destroyed Wayne Rooney by heaping the whole fortunes of the team upon him (whilst not playing to his strengths) Diego Maradona in 1986 form couldn't have carred this sorry bunch to anything.

This is the wakeup call, this is the day that has been coming.

And the FA need to wake up.

England are missing key players at certain positions.. Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard are great players hands down; but they have james, upson, barry and milner at that team as well.. I'm not saying they are bad players, they are decent players but that's all to it.. no team would go any further than quarter finals if they have emile heskey for saving the day..
