ENGLAND fans have all been left saying the same thing after the under-17 side CRASHED out of the World Cup in Indonesia.
The Young Lions exited at the round of 16 stage after a shock 2-1 defeat to Uzbekistan.
England went behind after four minutes, following a headed rebound from Amirbek Saidov.
They then dominated possession and equalised through Manchester City forward Joel Ndala in the 36th minute.
But a 20-yard free-kick from Lazizbek Mirzaev after 68 minutes meant it was Uzbekistan who progress.
The Asian side – whose senior team are ranked 73rd in the Fifa rankings – will face either France or Senegal in the quarter-finals.
