Chelsea boss Mourinho: Football Gods not with England

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho feels England deserved better from this year's World Cup.

England are already out after defeats to Italy and Uruguay.

"I think the Gods of football, if you can use that expression, were never with England since the draw until now, until even the Italy match against Costa Rica, where I don't think many people would think Italy could lose and Italy lost," said Mourinho, a global ambassador for Yahoo.

"I don't think England was a happy team, they didn't have the football Gods on their side. They had two good matches, with good individual performances.

"I don't feel comfortable to criticise England or England's options because I don't think they should be ashamed of this situation."
