Reds' World Cup over

Harry Kewell's Australia, Jan Kromkamp's Holland and Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia and Pepe Reina's Spain were all knocked out in the second round while England, containing Steven Gerrard, Peter Crouch, Jamie Carragher and Scott Carson went out in the quarter finals.

Djibril Cisse would have still been involved had he not broken his leg in a friendly against China just before the start of the tournament as France are through to the semi-finals after beating Brazil 1-0 yesterday.
