In 2006 the Three Lions progressed past the group stage in Germany topping their section which was followed by a 1-0 win over Ecuador in the Round of 16. That was, unfortunately, were the joy ended as England's tournament came to an abrupt end in the quarterfinals after losing 3-1 in a penalty shootout to Portugal.
Over all, for a nation that lives and breathes football, England has not been too successful in the world’s biggest tournament to date. England has made 12 previous FIFA World Cup finals appearances and on only one occasion they have lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy as hosts in 1966, producing their best ever performance in a FIFA competition.
Since then they have huffed and puffed and the closest they have come to repeating the feat was a semifinal knockout in Italia 90. Capello will be hoping to go all the way this time round and with the likes of Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and John Terry leading the way who is to say they can’t win it again.
