England lost to Portugal in the 2006 World Cup quarter-final in Germany. The players were hurt by their elimination and things could have gone much worse for those England players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former England defender Rio Ferdinand who was a part of that 2006 World Cup team has opened up about the night when the England players thought they wouldn’t make it home and are going to die in a plane due to terrible turbulence and bad weather while returning from Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferdinand told The Sun, via Marca<\/a>: “We’d just been knocked out of the competition by Portugal in the quarter finals and we had the worst flight back you can imagine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m usually quite calm but then I looked at them and I was properly scared.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
