England's dreadful performance in the Junior World Cup hit a new low earlier today when they were defeated 9-0 in Singapore. In a repeat of Monday's match against Japan, they conceded a goal within the first minute. England's tormentors on this occasion were India, who were 5-0 up before the break.
The best that England can now expect is 15th. They will play South Africa on either Friday or Saturday to decide.
