Rule no more!

England (my favorite team) was kicked out of first knockout stage of WC to the hands of their arch rivals Germany with the worst performance ever in world cup. Instead of going to headlines of junk tabloid which some find comfort in, I just leave it to the words of BBC experts below:

Alan Hansen
BBC pundit on Match of the Day
The debate will rage on about the Frank Lampard goal but I cannot believe how bad England were. Against Algeria they were abysmal but today they were four levels below that.

Alan Shearer
Former England striker on Match of the Day
We said they improved in the last game and needed to improve again to go through but they didn't get anywhere near it. They were hopeless from start to finish.

Lee Dixon
Former England defender on Match of the Day

You have to put a performance on at this stage in the tournament but it was probably the worst defensive team performance I've seen. Quite frankly we were awful and we got ripped to pieces.

Graham Taylor
Former England manager on BBC Radio 5 live

Lampard's was a goal, it would have made it 2-2 and who knows how the game would have transpired but that is not the point. We have lost 4-1 and been easily beaten.

Chris Waddle

The FA sit on their backsides and do nothing tournament after tournament after tournament. Why don't they listen? Why don't they look at other countries and ask 'how do they keep producing talent?'

More on that can be found here. For me, I suppose it is now Argentina and Saint Maradona all the way.
