The usual English Media responses of 'City are Doomed' are ringing out.

It wasn't Sven's fault England weren't good enough in the World Cup. England are too set in their style of play to cope with the likes of Italy, Brazil, etc. The only fault Sven had was that he didn't pick Carrick in Midfield, apart from that the team picked itself.

Good Club Coaches don't guarantee success at International level. Arrigo Sachi was able to win the European Cup with AC Milan with his eyes closed, yet when he managed Italy they underachieved and were lucky to get to the USA 94 Final.
