    I'm really starting to love this World Cup. It's the World Cup of justice. First justice was served when Italy left, and now it was justice for 1966. Remember?

    Come on, English, you would have lost even if the goal had been admitted! But I can see how the English will forever moan about that goal that "robbed England off the Cup". Now they have another excuse for the shambolic performance of England over the tournament. LOL

    I think this comment is a bit unfair, looking at the English fans and the English players after the match and also judging by the first comments I have seen from the English press, they do not look at all like sore losers but like rather good and fair sportsmen (and it should also be noted that the match itself was extremely fair).
    That there is a certain anger and disappointment about the goal is not only understandable but also justified (and I guess I would have been rather had it been the other way around) - I did not get the impression (yet) that people started to use it as an excuse (and the reactions here in the Frontroom are also a testimony of that)

    Indeed, English played bad across the tournament, they deserved to lose.

    Mexico got screwed by a terrible decision to give a goal (The first goal of the match!) on an obvious offsides to Argentina. The refs had to know it was offsides when they showed the replay on the screens in the stadium. Really, the whole game has been thrown off.

    What a shame. We need instant replay. It's to their great discredit that FIFA will not allow it.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Interesting picture of the "goal"
    That the ball was clearly behind the line is nothing new ... but what is Neuer doing there relaxing 2m above the ground?
