    england did not qualify

    they lost to croatia 3 - 2

    Trailing 2-0 into the second half, a Frank Lampard penalty and a superb Peter Crouch finish of David Beckham's cross in nine minutes seemingly sent the hosts through into the finals.

    But Mladen Petric fired in from 25 yards to break England's hearts 13 minutes from the end.

    It will be the first time for England to miss a major tournament since 1994

    Russia Won Against Andorra

    Russia clinched qualification behind Croatia with a narrow 1-0 win at Andorra while England was eliminated only one point behind. This russian win shattered all england fans hearts

    that is why england did not qualify !!!

    For a start the UK is not one team, it's four England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. They all failed to qualify and as a result the England Manager - Steve McClaren was sacked (quite rightly IMHO).

    They didnt qualify. They lost their crucial tie against croatia

    [2-3] which helped russia to come in to the proceedings.

    all teams from the United Kingdom (ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, NORTHERN IRELAND & WALES)

    Ireland are not in the United Kingdom at all.

    ............but your right, ireland did not qualify either.
