Rio admits embarrassment
05/07/2006: Rio Ferdinand has described England's World Cup exit as 'embarrassing' but insists they have the talent to win a major tournament.
The centre-back, who played in all five matches, felt this should have been England's year and admits that the squad 'didn't do themselves justice'.
Speaking to The Sun, Ferdinand said: "I'm gutted. I genuinely went into this tournament believing that we would get to the semi-finals at least and I would have been disappointed with that.
"It's embarrassing if I'm being honest. I was a bit embarrassed to set foot outside the door when I went shopping.
He added: "Most of this team will be around for the next four years and I am convinced we have the talent to win a tournament."
