Finland took the lead three minutes from the break when Jari Litmanen's pass sent former Charlton forward Jonatan Johansson clear to squeeze his shot home off a post.

Substitute Shefki Kuqi scored the second with two minutes left to leave the home side deflated ahead of a daunting clash with Germany in Group Four on Wednesday.

Bellamy told Sky Sports 1: "That was two poor sides trying to contest this game and neither of us have got a glimmer of hope of qualifying.

"That is a fact, from what I've just seen today."

"Where we go from here, God knows. We've just got a lot of games to play and get as many points as we can but same old story, we're out of the group.

"They are not a good side. I do feel we are the better side even though we have just lost. They sucker-punched us really.

"It was just poor to be honest."
