England are out of the World Cup after losing 2-1 in their quarter-final match against Brazil.

Michael Owen gave England the lead after 23 minutes, but Rivaldo equalised for Brazil in the last minute of the first half. Ronaldinho gave Brazil the lead after 50 minutes when his free kick looped over a stranded David Seaman.

Ronaldinho was then very unlucky to be sent off after 57 minutes for a late challenge on Danny Mills, but England were unable to create any good chances and Brazil were able to hold on with relative ease.
