Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole has wished Germany well for the remainder of the World Cup.
While Cole highlighted problems in the England set-up, he was also quick to praise the super-slick Germans.
He said: "No one likes admitting you are second-best. It's something I'm not used to.
"But that's life unfortunately. We came up against a team better than us. Good luck to them. We wish them all the best."
