To sum up England's 2010 World Cup Tournament is quite straightforward really - The team were simply not good enough. You could argue that had Frank Lampard's 'goal' been given it would have been a different game but on the day Germany were by far the better team in all departments on the pitch and deserved their victory.
Should England qualify for Brazil 2014 it'll be '48 years of hurt'!
A very gloomy statistic is that since 1966 England have only won against Paraguay, Belgium, Cameroon, Denmark and Ecuador in the knock out stages of the World Cup. With respect to the aforementioned countries it's a fact the English national team haven't beaten a major nation when it matters at the World Cup since that famous day when Bobby Moore lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy.
