England are out of the Fifa World Cup thanks to Costa Rica's shock 1-0 defeat of Italy in Recife.
It is the first time they have been knocked out in the group stages since 1958 and the first time they have been eliminated after just two matches.
Roy Hodgson's side were beaten by Group D rivals Italy and Uruguay.
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand believes a lack of experience cost Hodgson's side, but thinks the tournament will be important for the development of their young players.
"Maybe England were a bit naïve”
Fans disappointed with England's early exit

An FA statement read: "The Football Association can confirm that Roy Hodgson has today left his role of head coach for England manager by mutual consent."
“The FA are currently seeking a coach with an attacking philosophy to take over and develop youngsters in the squad to help achieve the minimum target of reaching the quarter finals”.
Gary Lineker wants an English manager, for the England job. Here's a tweet from the sofa-dwelling MOTD presenter. "As you ask, I think new man should be English. Players have to be, so should boss.

Harry Redknapp rules himself out of England job
“no no no, it’s not for me, I think it is a job where somebody has got to go in and do it full-time I couldn’t do that with my dogs they need walking everyday and with my knee not do-able”
“We Want the Job! England Fans Cry None of these guys knows what they are doing“

English F.A sit down to discuss potential candidates
“So we’re looking for a young coach with an attacking philosophy that can keep a blue-print at all levels to help us be able to compete with the top countries again”
“yea we couldn’t really live with the shame if wales over took us in the national rankings could we?
Laughs…
“someone out of contract and English would be desirable too”
The board thinks…
“Rodgers? Not English, but he is British manages a big team has an attacking philosophy works well with young players”
“never won a trophy, big contract to pay out besides has he even done that well? I don’t think he’s ready”
“howe? We all know what a young talented guy he is”
“ruled himself out”
“pardrew? Palace want a massive payout for him he’s not worth it”
Time passes…
“What if we took a punt on someone then? We get a young English guy who has a philosophy for the way he wants the team built, maybe he doesn’t have a load of experience but with time and development might be just what were after! Keep the fans happy and save us some money”
*nods of approvals come from across the board especially in regards to savings*

In a shock twist of events the F.A have caved into the demands of the general public and have hired an unknown but qualified England fan to manage the England team.
The general public will vote (you!) on squad selection, team selection and formation while England fan takes control of the general day to day business.
