Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney feels England lacked a nasty streak at the World Cup.
Rooney believes England should learn from their more canny opponents and be more streetwise instead of merely pressing on with the game.
"Uruguay the other night, they stopped the game, they committed I don't know how many fouls... clever fouls, really, to slow the game down. I think we're a bit honest in terms of the way we play.
"It's small margins but if those small things can amount to a big thing in terms of staying in the competition or going out. We need to learn that quickly and adapt to that.
"I got kicked 10 times and I don't think there was a yellow card given to an opponent. We try and be honest, but maybe that's a fault of ours.
"You see a lot of the great teams, international and club teams, they have that [being streetwise]. I think that will come."
