Both forms (e.g. "tired" and "wanting") reflect stance of the football team. I mean at this very moment they were tired and wanted to reach home quickly (by gerund we are often given an information about a stance of something at some moment of time). So in this case we can have these 2 verb forms in one sentence. However, I don't like using gerund of the verb "to want" very much, sounds bad. But (B) is the best choice among those given.
Correct me, if I'm wrong somewhere.
