England's performance in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, held in Brazil, was disappointing. They were eliminated in the group stage, marking one of their worst showings in a World Cup. Here's a breakdown of their performance:

Group D Matches:

1. England vs. Italy (June 14, 2014)

   • Result: Italy 2–1 England

2. England vs. Uruguay (June 19, 2014)

   • Result: Uruguay 2–1 England

Final Group D Standings:

• 1st: Costa Rica (7 points)
• 2nd: Uruguay (6 points)
• 3rd: Italy (3 points)
• 4th: England (1 point)

Key Points:

• England finished bottom of the group with just one point from three matches.
• They failed to win a single game and scored only two goals throughout the tournament.
• Manager Roy Hodgson faced significant criticism for the team's lackluster tactics and poor preparation.

Post-Tournament Reflection:

• England's failure highlighted issues such as a lack of cohesion, over-reliance on key players like Wayne Rooney, and insufficient defensive organization.
• The tournament prompted calls for a focus on youth development and a long-term vision, which eventually contributed to the emergence of a more promising squad in subsequent years.

Here’s a list of England’s key players in the 2014 World Cup:

• Wayne Rooney: Scored his first World Cup goal vs. Uruguay; underwhelming overall.
• Daniel Sturridge: Scored vs. Italy; lively but lacked support.
• Steven Gerrard: Captain; struggled to influence, involved in costly error vs. Uruguay.
• Joe Hart: Decent in goal but didn’t make match-saving stops.
• Raheem Sterling: Showed pace and flashes of skill; inconsistent.
• Gary Cahill: Solid individually, but defense as a whole was poor.
• Jordan Henderson: Worked hard in midfield but ineffective overall.
