England v Germany

[Narnia]

2-0?

[Narnia]

An Irish dilemma?

Quite amusing.

[wjfox]

England will lose on penalties - just as they always have done, and always will do.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

2-0, oh dear. Jane Eyre on another channel is quite exciting.

[daizie]

Iv'e switched it off , its given me the hump .

[wjfox]

I can't believe what I'm seeing here... that was so OBVIOUSLY a goal. How the hell can that be disallowed?????

[kwi]

The German goalkeeper whipped it off the line in mid bounce so lines man and ref had no visual on it. Shame

This is TOO painful...Jeez...why aren't they defending better?

[Ladymuck]

That's it!

Fair dos to Germany though...they played well.

Oh Rooney - what happened.

[wjfox]

Awful, just awful...

Our defense was a joke. As for Rooney, he did bugger-all this whole tournament.

I don't think I've ever seen a worse England performance against a good team. Playing SG, JT and in effect Rooney out of their best positions is not good managing. The only plus is that perhaps that smug idiot Blatter may change his mind about the use of technology.

Why should he and FIFA?

[Narnia]

Expat, why do you ask? Isn't it obvious. It happens in other sports.It wouldn't have delayed the game. There is no reason it can't be applied to major tournements. They don't mind changing the bloody ball all the time.

[expat]

because they recently decided not too. You can argue they should but they clearly do not agree

[Narnia]

Your question was why should he and FIFA. Isn't it obvious?

Bloke walks into a brothel and says, 'I'm a bit kinky...I am into total humiliation...how much'

'?37.50'says the madam.

'Great he says, what do I get for that?'

'An England shirt' she replies.

[Ladymuck]

*does darndest not to laugh*

that's not funny

*sniggers*

it really isn't

[Mick Mac]

I put my 6 month old son through the humiliation of wearing an england shirt today.

Never again. Poor lad. He showed his objection by being sick all over it.

You mean because a goal was not allowed? Not the first nor the last time...

with the right technology it will be the last time a goal is not allowed. its gone beyond a joke,fifa need to move forwasrd.

This is the only are where technology would be appropriate to football. The referee would know almost immediately that the ball had crossed the line and could give a goal. There would be no interruption to the game for endless replays.

Crap decision but I see the over paid delusional twats are hiding behind it already. I also notice Cappello refusing to resign as the twats at the FA, like Sven, gave him a doubled non performace related 'loyalty' bonus and ludicrous one way severance payments.... as he started making noises about moving on when the Juventus and Inter jobs were around! England manager, nice gig if you can get it.
