In July, a training camp was held in Denver, United States, for 45 players selected to prepare for the 2015 World Cup. The camp was designed to enhance fitness through rigorous training sessions at high altitude. However, once the players began the intensive workouts, they felt overwhelmed by the demanding nature of the sessions. Many players struggled to keep up with the expectations set by the coaching staff, leading to doubts about the effectiveness of the training regime. This discontent among the players foreshadowed greater issues that would arise during the main event, ultimately contributing to England's disappointing performance in the World Cup. The failures during the preparation phase were a precursor to the team's overall lack of success.
