i guess football aint coming home this year either.
im sure italy will do alot better....oh wait.....they didn't get past the group stages did they?
Similar controversy in the 1966 between the two teams:
Germans might feel like justice has been served!
Germany is taking the trophy home this year, incredible team.
Ridiculous, that mistake changed everything.
yeah Germany did good, but nobody can say they deserved to win. England got robbed.
Indeed it happenned in 1966, its 2010 and we still haven't moved on. We need the fucking video. How dumb is it that the supporters know more about what happens on the field than the ref?
England played good, they could definitely have won if they hadn't been robbed. Great goal from Lampard.
yeah, England are shit, we still got further then Italy did tho....
i cannot believe how shit will played, we literally had no defence, fuck knows how Terry is considered a good player, he's complete shit. where was he? fuckin useless faggot
Germany deserved to win, we just let them stroll down the pitch and score as they pleased
well done England, once again you have proved what a bunch of over payed, over rated twats you are :)
Not to us it isn't. It an event, not the biggest event. Not even close. Its like a notch below USA olympic basketball.
And as long as the USA does well, there will be interest, but as soon as they lose, nobody cares, honestly.
I know that insults some people for some weird reason, but its the truth
This Was The Most Buzz I Remember It Getting But Most People Still Didnt Give A Fuck Or Were Just Annoyed With It I Was Watching The Game My Brother Called Me I Mentioned I Was Watching The Game I Told Him Usa Was Down He Said Good I Hope They Lose So I Wont Have To See Any More World Cup Coverage. Another One Of My Friends Was Infuriated By It. The Only 2 People I Personally Know Who Were Into It Was My Friends Who Played Soccer In Highschool. But It Was As Popular This Year As I Can Ever Remember It In The Coverage And Shit It Got.
im sorry for all that they Germany didnt deserve it, they fucking owned England. ok England got a goal disallowed but the Germans out played England all over. and about the goal well England won 66 thanks to a controversial goal, Karma is indeed a bitch.
before the game the English were saying that none of the German team would even make the English squad.
This English team just isnt very good, Terry, Lampard and Gerrard are way past their prime and international football is all but over for them. Apart from Rooney upfront England dont have any world class strikers, i doubt guys like Defoe can make it anywhere out of Premier league.
sadly though the game will be remembered for the disallowed goal and ppl will forget how good the Germans were and how shit the English were. So theres a good chance the English players will get away with it.
What's everyone bitching about?

Dude check the picture... look at the line and then at the ball...
lol
lol I just made this gif from argentina vs mexico, its just after the 2nd goal
http://www.gifsoup.com/view/798790/h...s-mexico-o.gif
Nice!
tevez straight crushing the jubalini ball and the mexican hope in one fell swoop.
Carlos Tevez is a beast!!!
HAHA nice gif. Mexico fans are complaining about the goal, but Arg would have won regardless. Dominated them the whole game, but goalie for Arg was playing like crap
the Germans did the English a favour cause this Argentine side would have ripped them apart.
Mexico were unlucky with the first goal but after that they pretty much got owned.
Germany - Argentina should be a dope quarter-final. even though Argentina are favourites we just have to go back 4 years ago and look at what happened then.
Regarding the england game, the sad fact remains that we got owned by the germans. I was just as mad about the stupid ref's disallowing the second goal but bottom line, we lost 4-1. England were playing shit during this entire tournament, we should count ourselves lucky that we even got that far.
Im predicting Argentina in the final, hopefully against my other team Spain.
Spain and Argentina will meet in the semi-final if they both progress.
aha was just gonna put this gif up but noticed someone has allready, heres a better quality one anyway

Damn England got done....I know it`s probably been said a million times already, but that disallowed goal was wrong...If fifa can`t get it right, then someone needs to be sacked, this whole world cup has been disgraceful,...had england scored that goal the whole complexity of the match would have changed, and maybe england wouldn`t have got rail roaded 4-1 ...man when that lampard second goal went in, I was jumping around like a teengage school girl at a justin bieber concert lol...then boom disallowed !!!!! smh .... Germany looks very dangerous and did derserve to win...with that said england play`d alot better than in there other games, but there attack is lacking badly ...rooney again was non existant....
I wish that germany and argentina didn`t have to meet in the next game, them in the final would have gone along way to blunting my disappointment of this world cup.
Argentina looked fire as usual...I felt sorry for the mexicans with the first goal,tevez was offside...but tevez` second goal was like whoa !!!!
can`t wait for germany argentina though.
peace be with you !
Americans care:

Football is a game where a match can change fast as fuck, England lost 4-1, that doesn't mean they played bad, or were outplayed. They played good, Gerrard was really good, Lampard got better as the game went, only Rooney was weak. Im pretty sure they would have won if they had came back in the second half at 2-2. They took the 2 last goals on counter attacks cause they were forced to put themselves in danger. They were robbed, and it was the FIFA's fault, they need to let the refs use the video, cause its just turning ridiculous, these mistakes are ruining the world cup.
Robben is back!
robben is the illest.
Damn robben proves that he is one of the best players in the world today, in my opinion.
I would say that Germany is a favourite against argentina. They and brazil (maybe netherlands also) showed the best performance.
But i hope argentina goes through.
Netherlands were far from convincing though, Robben really saved them.
Although i have enjoyed the world cup a lot, simulation remains such a terrible blight on the game.
Actually, the general lack of sportsmanship amongst these adult children is a disgrace.
The Italy Vs Slovakia game is a great example.
While i don't agree with people who dismiss football for these reasons, i can see why they do.
I don't know what you can really do about simulation though, because in real time it's so difficult to determine the degree of contact when these pussies fall at the slightest touch.
^I think video could solve the worst simulations, like the ones which lead to penalty shots or red cards.
If they instituted suspension for diving in the premier domestic leagues through a video reviewing system, the motivation and habit to dive would be curbed. Something like the NHL does with suspensions. You wouldn't eliminate it overnight, but you have to nip it in the bud, and make the new generation of player's play with more honour. Diving is actually taught in many countries youth system's as a viable and important technique. If kid's see their favourite players getting suspended for simulation they might be less inclined to emulate them.
There are certain areas and countries that do it far less than other's in general and they should be commended. I don't notice the States, England, Germany, East Asian, Scandinavian teams diving or faking injury as much.
Unfortunately, Fifa's elite are filled with dinosaurs who still believe video replay is some cutting edge technology that is too experimental for real application.
Fuck Sepp Blatter basically.
^exactly.
