reason england lost is this

first and foremost, I am going to lay the blame at the door of Capello.

1. Formation too rigid. no flexibility.
2.You have to play to your teams strengths, and vice versa.
3. This should have been evident fro mthe game against eqypt.
4. Failure to win the group.

England's average age was around 29. Their best chance of scoring was from set pieces, free kicks, corners etc.

Germany 5 years younger on average. Too fast for england.
YOu have to slow them down. Fill the middle of the park. concentrate on defence. And then score from a corner or free kick at the other end.

don't give them the freedom of the park, otherwise you will be wiped out, which is what happened.
