That's my big concern, that Blatter the tosser gets off with this one. Wibble Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 05:13:09 PM
End of the day England were terrible, truly shocking, they've sucked all tournament and they sucked today. Every weakness i've highlighted was brutally exposed - the need for 2 quality central defenders, the need for a natural defensive midfielder, the need for a striker and the fact that Lampard and Gerrard can't play together. The only weakness that wasn't exposed was the keeper, James saved them from a worse hiding today.

Throw in Germany's pace and clinical passing and that was that. Quality attacking from them, though being a young team they do need to tighten up at the back, but that will come with time. They could easily have scored 7 or 8.

So i'm glad that Germany scored a lot as it will hopefully stop the English press going on about the goal that never was, and instead reflect on how bad they were and why. But i'm disappointed as it may allow Blatter to sneak away from his quite frankly wrong one-man crusade against technology.

I am pleased that the goal differential was more than that one goal. It should have been 4-2. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 04:55:35 PM 952 Views
I care not for diplomacy. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 04:57:58 PM 1035 Views
Well . . . you are of Irish extraction. It is just for you to be happy that England lost. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 04:59:35 PM 935 Views
Does anti-Frenchiness really need to even be mentioned? LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:01:45 PM 773 Views
Karma. They self-destructed. It was fun to watch. The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:03:18 PM 1003 Views
So is Sepp Blatter, I would imagine. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:03:48 PM 996 Views

And whilst I'm at it, 2 comments that summed up England today. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:21:22 PM 1149 Views
Yeah, agreed. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:29:01 PM 950 Views
Disallowing England's second goal was karma. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:32:30 PM 999 Views
Wha? Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:39:22 PM 1011 Views
True, Italy's play was awful. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:45:44 PM 1012 Views
That is a ridiculous argument. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:43:11 PM 1013 Views
Not really. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:48:13 PM 940 Views
Germany won't last long. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:30:40 PM 896 Views
Based on what I have seen so far, I think you're right. *NM* The Shrike - 27/06/2010 05:35:03 PM 450 Views
I couldn't care less, to be honest. LiterateDog - 27/06/2010 05:35:16 PM 920 Views
Well that makes one of us. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 896 Views
I think the winner of that match will win. Wibble - 27/06/2010 05:40:48 PM 998 Views
Argentina just has too much power. Milito was absurd this year at Inter. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:51:02 PM 886 Views
Argentina, yes. Milito, doesn't look like it so far. Legolas - 27/06/2010 05:46:18 PM 960 Views
It's not that I'm looking at Inter players. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 05:52:34 PM 862 Views
Get to the final they might, but it won't be a stroll. Legolas - 27/06/2010 09:28:32 PM 887 Views
Eh, Spain is overrated. Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 10:20:01 PM 1000 Views
Not really. Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:38:54 PM 972 Views
Quarterfinal is already pretty "long" ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:06:33 PM 852 Views
The fact that Italy went out in the group stage... Dragonsoul - 27/06/2010 09:59:33 PM 853 Views
Lol, well, maybe I can pretend to care about soccer for a minute ßelals Girl - 27/06/2010 06:44:05 PM 931 Views
We're even for Wembley now ironclad - 27/06/2010 08:15:44 PM 968 Views
My thoughts exactly. Germany is officially never allowed to moan about "Das Wembley-Tor" again. *NM* Tim - 27/06/2010 10:11:50 PM 413 Views
I'm fine with a bit of overconfidence, but playing without a defence was probably a bit too much. *NM* Liam - 27/06/2010 08:29:55 PM 425 Views

Now they get to fight Argentina in the much-anticipated "Battle for Hitler's Brain"! Tom - 27/06/2010 10:02:35 PM 974 Views
and here's my plea to the english press ponder stibbons - 27/06/2010 10:43:06 PM 817 Views
Oh, I almost forgot: the funniest thing about the BBC commentary... Legolas - 27/06/2010 10:49:27 PM 844 Views
Did they really? I didn't notice. Maybe because there was too much shouting at the telly. Liam - 27/06/2010 11:28:55 PM 892 Views
If you've memorised the lower-case code, just subtract 32 for the upper-case code. Tim - 28/06/2010 09:42:02 AM 875 Views
Hm, interesting. I figured there probably was a code, but couldn't be bothered to look it up. Legolas - 28/06/2010 09:46:01 AM 820 Views
The English team did not seem to understand the fact that it is a bad idea... jh - 28/06/2010 11:07:24 AM 897 Views
There's been a lot of fuss made about the Premier League not having a mid-season break. Liam - 28/06/2010 11:38:11 AM 987 Views
... slower pace? jh - 29/06/2010 06:07:57 PM 751 Views
Hah, well, naturally England were also utterly abysmal. Liam - 29/06/2010 11:15:41 PM 940 Views
BTW did anybody notice ponder stibbons - 30/06/2010 09:10:34 PM 945 Views
Yup. Wibble - 01/07/2010 11:25:00 PM 774 Views
