Man City defender Kompany upset England out of World Cup

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany is disappointed by England's World Cup elimination.

Kompany says he was saddened that England are out of the World Cup but is determined that Belgium will make it into the knock-out stages.

"My wife is English and although I like to believe my kids are Belgian, she thinks they are English too.

"The [English] players that I have as friends and that I have a lot of respect for meant I wanted them to have a good competition and I'm very saddened as much as the English fans about the exit of England."
