    World Cup 2014: England knocked out ofWorld Cup

    England were eliminated at the group stage of the Fifa World Cupfor the first time since 1958 as Italy lost 1-0 to Costa Rica in Recife.

    It is the first time the national side( bando nacional) have been knocked out(noqueado)after just two matches, with Roy Hodgson's side beaten by(golpeados por) Group DrivalsItalyandUruguay.They needed Italy to win both of their remaining games(juegos pendientes) to stand achance of reaching the last 16.But Costa Rica's defeat of the Azzurri ended England's involvement.The England team watched Friday's match from their hotel base in Rio.

    Former England defender Rio Ferdinandbelieves a lack of experience cost Hodgson'sside, but thinks the tournament will be important for the development of their youngplayers.He said: "Maybe England were a bit naive(un poco ingenuo) in situations. In the gameagainst Uruguay, for instance, when they got back to 1-1 they had a chance to get a pointand everything would have been down to the final game."But the players can take experience from the tournament. It is valuable, not just playingminutes but being around the hotel, how you prepare yourself, what it means to go to aWorld Cup and feeling that pressure at a tournament."Hodgson had picked a squad(un pelotn) with an emphasis on youth, and was hopeful

    they would be able to progress out of a tough (duro, fuerte)group.Costa Rica were supposed to be the weakest team in a pool containing three former WorldCup winners, but the Central American side were the first to secure their place in the last16.Despite England's campaign starting with a 2-1 defeat by Italy, a promising performancegave them confidence for Thursday's game against Uruguay, who lost their opening matchto Costa Rica.However, Luis Suarez's two goals gave Uruguay a 2-1 victory which left Hodgson's menrelying on (confiando en)other results.In the aftermath of the defeat( a raz de la derrota), Hodgson insisted hewould not

    resign,and Football Association chairman (El presidente de la asociacin de futbol) GregDyke said hisjob is not under threat."We are supportive of Roy - he came to do a four-year cycle. I already see people askingthe question, 'Will he stay?' The answer is yes," said Dyke."He came to do a four-year cycle leading up(previos) to Euro 2016."Former England winger(El ex delantero de Inglaterra) Chris Waddle cited a lack of qualitycoaching in the country as a reason for the national side's failure.Waddle, part of the England side beaten on penalties by West Germany in the semi-finalsof the 1990 World Cup, told BBC Radio 5 live: "The Premier League is different to anyleague the world and that is our big problem.

    "It's frustrating, because we have everything we need - money, facilities - but it comesdown to coaching(solo es puro entrenamiento), and we have to get something right aboutproducing players."The Premier League is a great advert (gran anuncio)for our football but it does ournational team no good whatsoever ( buenos del todo)"

    Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)-- More than 1 million Iraqis have been forced from their homes by conflict this year, the U.N. refugee

    agency said Friday -- a number likely only to rise as Islamist militants and Iraqi security forces battle for control.

    A humanitarian crisis is brewing, as families who've fled fighting with little more than the clothes on their back seek water,

    food and shelter from the summer heat.Meanwhile, the first of up to 300 U.S. military advisers will arrive in Iraq as soon as Saturday, a senior defense official told

    CNN. This first group from outside Iraq is expected to be very small, the official said.

    In addition, some U.S. military personnel already in Iraq at the security cooperation office in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

    will be reassigned and become the first of the advisers to go to work, Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said.

    An estimated 500,000 people fled Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, last week after it fell to fighters from the Islamic State in

    Syria and Iraq (ISIS). On Friday, the International Committee of the Red Cross in Iraq put the number who fled Mosul, with

    its population of 1.6 million, at about 800,000.

    Already, a half-million people were displaced from Iraq's western Anbar province, where Sunni militants have been dominant

    since early this year.

    U.S. sending military advisers

    For days, the United States has considered what to do about the militants, and on Thursday, President Barack Obama saidhe wasprepared to send as many as 300 military advisers to Iraq,adding that America was not returning to a combat role in the

    country.

    The first group of advisers will begin work by conducting an initial assessment of Iraqi troop capabilities and on what may be

    needed for a larger group of U.S. advisers, including additional security measures where they may be deployed, a senior

    defense official said Friday.

    But the United States has not reached an agreement with Iraq to provide legal protections to the U.S. military advisers.

    "We are pursuing something in writing," Kirby said Friday. He said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel "is absolutely committed

    to making sure that our troops have the legal protections, and he would not do that on a nod and a wink."

    Kirby said the U.S. did not foresee a problem getting the Iraqi government to sign such an agreement because Iraq had

    requested this U.S. support.

    The United States withdrew its final troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, nearly nine years after leading the invasion that

    ousted longtime leader Saddam Hussein.

    Al-Maliki under pressure

    Obama: Wece

    Will there be a third Iraq war?

    ISIS takes chemical weapons complex

    As ISIS, born from an al Qaeda splinter group and supported by many Sunni factions, continues its fierce advance in Iraq,

    senior U.S. officials tell CNN that the Obama administration is of the belief that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is not the leader

    Iraq needs to unify the country and end sectarian tensions.

    The Prime Minister's Shiite-dominated government is accused of fostering sectarian tensions by marginalizing Iraq's Sunni

    Arab and Kurd minorities.

    Obama told CNN on Friday that U.S. military efforts are hopeless without a change in government.

    "If we don't see Sunni, Shia and Kurd representation in the military command structure, if we don't see Sunni, Shia and Kurd

    political support for what we're doing, we won't do it," he told CNN's Kate Bolduan in an interview.

    The complete interview will be aired Monday on CNN's "New Day."

    ISIS takes old chemical facility

    Fighting raged across Iraq.Iraqi security forces regained control of the Baiji oil refinery, the largest in Iraq, on Friday

    following a night of fighting, Iraqi security officials in Samarra told CNN.

    Iraqiya State TV reported that Iraqi security forces killed an undisclosed number of ISIS fighters.

    Also on Thursday, ISIS militants took control of a facility that Saddam Hussein once used to produce and store chemical

    weapons.

    But the State Department doubts that the Al Muthanna complex contains any material of "military value.""The materials in the bunkers, which date from the 1980s, are of little military value and would be very difficult to safely

    move," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Thursday.
