England's worst defeat at any major tournament was meted out by an excellent German team. It will be pointed out that England had a perfectly good goal disallowed (it was), that the manager Capello did this and that, but in the end this was a poor England team throughout the 4 games played in this World Cup. The English must take a very close look at their Premier League and youth development programs.
None of this should in any way detract from the awesome German performance. This 4-1 drubbing of England will not be forgotten soon.
