FIFA World Cup 2010

[The Hitch]

At 90 minutes send the keepers out. That'd be enough

nice.

Though if you make it after 120 minutes, and make it that you can only score from inside the box it could work.

Germany opens the can. Bad mistake by England's back line.

2-0

Not really surprising. England is horrible so far.

2-0

Not really surprising. England is horrible so far.

I'm far from an expert, but how are these clowns ranked 8th in the world?

 

[sublimit]

Upson scored 2-1

 

[ak-zaaf]

England is back and denied a clear goal for 2-2.

What a game so far!

 

[icefire]

What a game! England's been robbed the 2-2!

Good question. Qualifying is strong and they win many games but end up Choking a bit like the All Blacks in rugby during major competitions.

Don't take the World rankings too seriously.

this is how the f*cking referees change football's history

 

[theyoungest]

That was so obviously a goal... how could the ref not see it? How do you think a ball can touch the crossbar twice and then end up in front of the goal? Right, it had to be in the goal first.

The ball can touch the crossbar twice without being a goal if it bounces on the line. This one was half a meter inside the goal.

germanies first goal was offside. England scored one that should have counted.
So they are unlucky.

But the irony is after those 2 decisions, the millionares who commentate the england matches started critiscising fifa for earning too much money.

The audacity. incredible

Then it would probably end up on the line once again, instead of in front of it.

In other news: Van der Vaart is injured, and probably can't play tomorrow. Which is actually good news, Van Marwijk will have to start with Elia. Or Afellay, which I hope he won't.

Don't expect well reasoned arguments from the millionaires who criticise FIFA. They probably think with their feet

 

[Anonymous]

well, the disallowed goal have given all the england fans an excuse.. they will blame the entire sorry shambles on that one moment

 

[The Hitch]

One more goal for Germany and england would have to stop talking about 5-1 munich 2001.

will england sack cappello after this?

 

[ak-zaaf]

will england sack cappello after this?

Who cares? This is a lost generation. Great talent, remarkably little personality.

 

[Colm.Murphy]

will england sack cappello after this?

Maybe. If so it would be deserved. That was a shameful effort (and delicious for my Irish brothers).

Germany advances, and as I stated before they were my pick to win it all.

 

[D Avoid]

I rang my Anglais friend to commiserate and to congratulate his German wife!

maybe everyone other than england was doping

 

[marinoni]

Why is there no goal judge-one official who stands on the line and only concerns himself with whether a ball is over the line?

 

[Colm.Murphy]

Wait, there was no doping for the 4th consecutive World Cup. FIFA says so: No doping here, move along now.

 

[The Hitch]

Because these "controversial" decisions sell a lot of papers. controversy creates cash. Fifa knows this. they are reluctant to change this.
