World Cup 2014: England knocked out of

World Cup
England were eliminated at the group stage of the Fifa World Cup
for the first time since 1958 as Italy lost 1-0 to Costa Rica in Recife.

It is the first time the national side( bando nacional) have been knocked out(noqueado)
after just two matches, with Roy Hodgson's side beaten by(golpeados por) Group D
rivals Italy andUruguay.
They needed Italy to win both of their remaining games(juegos pendientes) to stand a
chance of reaching the last 16.
But Costa Rica's defeat of the Azzurri ended England's involvement.
The England team watched Friday's match from their hotel base in Rio.
Former England defender Rio Ferdinandbelieves a lack of experience cost Hodgson's
side, but thinks the tournament will be important for the development of their young
players.
He said: "Maybe England were a bit naive(un poco ingenuo) in situations. In the game
against Uruguay, for instance, when they got back to 1-1 they had a chance to get a point
and everything would have been down to the final game.
"But the players can take experience from the tournament. It is valuable, not just playing
minutes but being around the hotel, how you prepare yourself, what it means to go to a
World Cup and feeling that pressure at a tournament."
Hodgson had picked a squad(un pelotn) with an emphasis on youth, and was hopeful
they would be able to progress out of a tough (duro, fuerte)group.
Costa Rica were supposed to be the weakest team in a pool containing three former World
Cup winners, but the Central American side were the first to secure their place in the last
16.
Despite England's campaign starting with a 2-1 defeat by Italy, a promising performance
gave them confidence for Thursday's game against Uruguay, who lost their opening match
to Costa Rica.
However, Luis Suarez's two goals gave Uruguay a 2-1 victory which left Hodgson's men
relying on (confiando en)other results.
In the aftermath of the defeat( a raz de la derrota), Hodgson insisted he would not
resign,and Football Association chairman (El presidente de la asociacin de futbol) Greg
Dyke said his job is not under threat.
"We are supportive of Roy - he came to do a four-year cycle. I already see people asking
the question, 'Will he stay?' The answer is yes," said Dyke.
"He came to do a four-year cycle leading up(previos) to Euro 2016."
Former England winger(El ex delantero de Inglaterra) Chris Waddle cited a lack of quality
coaching in the country as a reason for the national side's failure.
Waddle, part of the England side beaten on penalties by West Germany in the semi-finals
of the 1990 World Cup, told BBC Radio 5 live: "The Premier League is different to any
league the world and that is our big problem.
"It's frustrating, because we have everything we need - money, facilities - but it comes
down to coaching(solo es puro entrenamiento), and we have to get something right about
producing players.
"The Premier League is a great advert (gran anuncio)for our football but it does our
national team no good whatsoever ( buenos del todo)"
England finish their campaign against Costa Rica on Tuesday.

"A Thousand Miles"

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memory

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...

If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles

Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- More than 1 million Iraqis have been forced from their homes by conflict this year, the U.N. refugee
agency said Friday -- a number likely only to rise as Islamist militants and Iraqi security forces battle for control.
A humanitarian crisis is brewing, as families who've fled fighting with little more than the clothes on their back seek water,
food and shelter from the summer heat.
Meanwhile, the first of up to 300 U.S. military advisers will arrive in Iraq as soon as Saturday, a senior defense official told
CNN. This first group from outside Iraq is expected to be very small, the official said.
In addition, some U.S. military personnel already in Iraq at the security cooperation office in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad
will be reassigned and become the first of the advisers to go to work, Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said.
An estimated 500,000 people fled Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, last week after it fell to fighters from the Islamic State in
Syria and Iraq (ISIS). On Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross in Iraq put the number who fled Mosul, with
its population of 1.6 million, at about 800,000.
Already, a half-million people were displaced from Iraq's western Anbar province, where Sunni militants have been dominant
since early this year.
U.S. sending military advisers
For days, the United States has considered what to do about the militants, and on Thursday, President Barack Obama said
he was prepared to send as many as 300 military advisers to Iraq, adding that America was not returning to a combat role in the
country.
The first group of advisers will begin work by conducting an initial assessment of Iraqi troop capabilities and on what may be
needed for a larger group of U.S. advisers, including additional security measures where they may be deployed, a senior
defense official said Friday.
But the United States has not reached an agreement with Iraq to provide legal protections to the U.S. military advisers.
"We are pursuing something in writing," Kirby said Friday. He said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel "is absolutely committed
to making sure that our troops have the legal protections, and he would not do that on a nod and a wink."
Kirby said the U.S. did not foresee a problem getting the Iraqi government to sign such an agreement because Iraq had
requested this U.S. support.
The United States withdrew its final troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, nearly nine years after leading the invasion that
ousted longtime leader Saddam Hussein.
Al-Maliki under pressure
Obama: Wece
Will there be a third Iraq war?
ISIS takes chemical weapons complex
As ISIS, born from an al Qaeda splinter group and supported by many Sunni factions, continues its fierce advance in Iraq,
senior U.S. officials tell CNN that the Obama administration is of the belief that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is not the leader
Iraq needs to unify the country and end sectarian tensions.
The Prime Minister's Shiite-dominated government is accused of fostering sectarian tensions by marginalizing Iraq's Sunni
Arab and Kurd minorities.
Obama told CNN on Friday that U.S. military efforts are hopeless without a change in government.
"If we don't see Sunni, Shia and Kurd representation in the military command structure, if we don't see Sunni, Shia and Kurd
political support for what we're doing, we won't do it," he told CNN's Kate Bolduan in an interview.
The complete interview will be aired Monday on CNN's "New Day."
ISIS takes old chemical facility
Fighting raged across Iraq. Iraqi security forces regained control of the Baiji oil refinery, the largest in Iraq, on Friday
following a night of fighting, Iraqi security officials in Samarra told CNN.
Iraqiya State TV reported that Iraqi security forces killed an undisclosed number of ISIS fighters.
Also on Thursday, ISIS militants took control of a facility that Saddam Hussein once used to produce and store chemical
weapons.
But the State Department doubts that the Al Muthanna complex contains any material of "military value."
"The materials in the bunkers, which date from the 1980s, are of little military value and would be very difficult to safely
move," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Thursday.
