Despite all the negative publicity surrounding England’s failure at the 2010 World Cup, there are still many supporters who remain steadfast in their belief that the team can return to the World Cup glory days. However, the truth is that this has not been achieved, and it is time to revisit the reasons why the squad failed to perform in Russia.

Wayne Rooney

Whether you agree or disagree with Wayne Rooney’s career, you can’t deny that he has left a controversial legacy. Some people feel that his England career failed to live up to the high expectations.

While Rooney has scored a lot of goals for England, he hasn’t performed consistently. And, while his career is not perfect, he has done a lot to help his club, Manchester United. In 2014, he was voted player of the year and was appointed England captain by Roy Hodgson.

His contract at Manchester United made him the world’s highest paid player. However, he was ejected from the quarterfinal match against Portugal and missed two matches at the Euro 2012. He was also banned for swearing at the TV camera at West Ham.

Mohammad Amir

Despite a mediocre World Cup campaign, Pakistan surprisingly managed to finish as runner-up. It was a largely moderate tournament but Pakistan did manage to beat New Zealand in the final and defeat Bangladesh in the semifinals. It was also the first time Pakistan had won a match against Australia in four years. It was a great feat. But it was not enough for Pakistan to advance to the knockout stages.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is now looking at how to re-acclimate Mohammad Amir into the international scene. This will include acclimating Amir to domestic cricket and continuing his rehabilitation.

Amir’s form has been a concern for the Pakistani team in the last couple of years. He has taken 24 wickets in his last six Tests.

Gareth Barry

Despite having the best players in the world, England failed to break through the competition at the 2010 World Cup. A goalless draw with Algeria in Cape Town kicked off the slow death of the England hopes.

In the last 16 against Germany, England sank to a 4-1 defeat. Thomas Muller’s first goal was from an England free-kick outside the area. The second came from a long kick that sailed over Terry’s head.

Fabio Capello appeared confused by the lack of quality in the England team. Despite having a world class player like Wayne Rooney, the rest of the squad looked helpless.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Whether you believe Fabio Capello’s management was the reason for England’s World Cup failure, or whether you are just baffled by the team’s lack of ability, you will have to admit that the 2010 World Cup was not the greatest tournament in the history of England. But before we look at the reasons for the England’s World Cup failure, let’s examine Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Wright-Phillips was born in 1981. He has a brother called Bradley and a father named Ian. His father was a former professional footballer. He played for Phoenix Rising FC. His mother, meanwhile, was a model and actress. He is also a former manager of Nautico in Brazil. He has played for eleven different clubs.

Fabio Capello’s unwillingness to adapt from a strict 4-4-2

Despite his successes in Italy, Fabio Capello was an old-school manager. His tactics instilled a sense of intransigence that did not inspire confidence in England’s World Cup campaign. Capello’s methods were criticized when results went wrong.

Capello was out of his depth when it came to adapting to modern football methods. He hid behind contradictions to defend his methods. He claimed Germany beat England because they were playing with foreigners. He also claimed that a 4-5-1 formation would have resulted in Steven Gerrard playing a more central role.

Fabio Capello’s lack of communication with his players arguably led to a lack of subtle football. His methods also resulted in internal resentment.

The Jabulani

During the World Cup, many players had a bad experience with the Jabulani, a new ball manufactured by Adidas. Some of the greatest players in the game, including David James and Gigi Buffon, were skeptical of the ball.

The ball was designed by Adidas, a company which sponsors some of the biggest names in soccer. It was produced to be light, aerodynamic, and stable. The ball is made from eight thermally bonded polyurethane panels.

The ball is nearly waterproof. It’s also designed with grip and groove technology. The ball’s surface is textured with thin ridges and grooves. These ridges are thermally bonded instead of stitched. This creates a smoother roll when the ball is kicked.
