Quite the contrary, I think a lot of rational England fans will wake up today and think that perhaps it's good we got beaten and didn't qualify.
Steve McClaren doesn't have the balls to resign but it's looking like finally the FA will realise their mistake in hiring him in the first place and fire him this morning at which point we really need to get in a top international manager next - none of this "we must have an English manager managing England" bullshit.
Jose Morinho and Marcello Lippi are currently both available for example.
As for the players, they showed last night that even if we qualified, they're so technically inferior to so many other nations now that we'd have stood no chance in the tournament anyway so they also need to take a long hard look at themselves.
England haven't been a top international side for years and now we've slipped further behind nations like Croatia who fully deserved their win (and to win the group) with their well practiced technical passing game.
I'm actually pleased we haven't qualified to be honest. Perhaps finally the English game will get the massive kick in the arse it desperately needs.
