England’s disappointing stint

One of the talking points of the World Cup 2015 was the disappointing performance of England. They had failed to qualify for the knockout stages. They had won only two matches and lost four out of six matches in the 11th edition of the tournament. In the ongoing World Cup, the same story unfolded as England won three matches and six games of the nine matches that they placed. In both editions, England were placed lower in the points table.
