Just hours after their humiliating loss to Germany at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, England football team members are photographed guzzling down beer and smoking Havana cigars
Has the England football team have no shame?
Just hours after their loss to Germany at the World Cup, a handful of teammates are seen smoking cigars. What exactly were they celebrating?
The photo - which shows winger Aaron Lennon puffing on a Cuban cigar - was allegedly taken by defender Ledley King and then circulated among pals with the title: "Home time then holiday time.", according to the London Sun.
From The Sun:
And with feet on tables, the group looked remarkably relaxed at their HQ - the plush Royal Marang Hotel near Rustenburg, South Africa - despite not even coming close to lifting the tournament's glittering trophy.
Others pictured with Spurs ace Lennon were fellow winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, striker Jermain Defoe, and defenders Glen Johnson, Michael Dawson and Stephen Warnock.
Beside them, beer bottles nestle on the table, while an ice bucket for wine or champagne can also be seen among the empty glasses.
The players, flown straight to the hotel from their defeat in Bloemfontein, crowded into the bar to chill out as millions of England fans worldwide nursed crushed dreams.
On Wednesday, online bookmaker William Hill released 1/3 odds on Ashley Cole being voted The Most Hated Man in England for a second consecutive year after a text alleged sent by Cole surfaced.
"I hate England and the f***ing people!" Ashley reported texted to pals.
They apparently feel the same way.
