England fans give up World Cup hope
According to a new poll, just four per cent of the public believe the Three Lions can triumph in South Africa in 2010.
Only 13 per cent see England getting past the quarter-finals.
A survey by The Football Fans Census shows belief in the national side has plummeted after the failure to make Euro 2008.
Although 94 per cent of fans say it was right to sack Steve McClaren, a majority of the 3,000- plus people surveyed also want FA chiefs Brian Barwick and Geoff Thompson to share the blame.
Asked who was responsible for England’s failure to qualify, 45 per cent said the players, while 51 per cent blamed the manager.
