England coach Roy Hodgson accepts their World Cup is over after defeat to Uruguay.
Hodgson was upbeat about England's chances in the build-up to the World Cup, and there were flashes of brilliance in their play against Italy on Saturday.
But there was barely any inkling of optimism in the 66-year-old's voice after the match in Sao Paulo.
"Our chances (of progressing) are unbelievably slim," he said.
"It will depend on Italy winning their next two matches by a good number of goals, and us beating Costa Rica by the requisite number of goals.
"To be in with a chance of continuing we really needed a result today, a draw or a victory, and we didn't get it."
The players looked crestfallen as they filed out of the Arena Corinthians after the match.
"We are more than disappointed, we're devastated," Hodgson said.
"We believed we could do enough to get a result in this game."
