World Cup 2014: Costa Rica v England – in pictures

Being an England fan requires a considerable sense of humour. Luckily for these chaps, who've shelled out upwards of five thousands pounds to watch England play in a dead rubber at the World Cup, they've not lost theirs

Regardless of the fact that England are already out of the tournament, the fans are still pumped up

Roy Hodgson has decided to mix things up for today's fixture. England will be led by Frank Lampard instead of Steven Gerrard. Lampard will be hoping to ensure that England don't repeat the feat of the 1988 European Championship team who exited a major tournament without a single point

The surface should be nice and slick, given how much water it's got on it

Here's where Gerrard will be as proceedings unfold: on the bench. Wonder if that's a ploy by Hodgson to leave him hungry for more action beyond this World Cup?

Daniel Sturridge has a couple of early chances. First he fires a side-foot shot just wide of the post and then he pings an ambitious volley wide

Ross Barkley is tackled as England struggle to open up their unambitious opponents in the first half. This game feels like a friendly

Sturridge is bundled over in the box by Costa Rica's Oscar Duarte, just as he's about to fire a shot from close range. But the referee says no penalty

Then Sturridge has a chance to release a shot when played one-on-one with the keeper, but he fails to pull the trigger and instead goes in hard on the advancing keeper. Exasperating stuff. It's goalless at half-time.

Daniel Sturridge goes down in the box again but a corner is given

Daniel Sturridge fires agonisingly wide in the second half after a lovely interchange with Wilshere. Literally all of the chances are falling to Sturridge, but he just can't squeeze any of them into the net

Looks ominous

The game peters out after a series of substitutions and Daniel Sturridge ends the game without a goal. He could have had a hatful.

The players applaud the fans after what has been a pretty dour World Cup. They've picked up just one point, scored just two goals and finished bottom of the group

Roy Hodgson's job is safe, however. And he knows it.
