The 36-year-old midfielder Frank Lampard, the captain today, said here Tuesday that England should have won the match against Costa Rica.

The result of 0-0 gifted Costa Rica the winners of World Cup Group D, the Group of Death including three former champions - England, Italy and Uruguay, with seven points while England, already eliminated after the 2-1 losses to Italy and Uruguay, ended bottom with only one point.

Lampard said at the mixed zone, "It was a difficult game to approach. We prepared right for the last two days. Everyone knows how tough it's been.

"We had enough chances to win the game. I think we played some good stuff, bright stuff at times," he added.

Asked about his future as an England player, Lampard said, "I don't know. I really enjoyed being involved and I love playing for my country, that's obvious. I am 36 and still doing it. I feel fresh. If I feel I can offer something I will do but at the moment it is too soon to say."
