    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.

    It's all Sepp 'fanny' Blatter. He's an onanist.
    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.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Fun game between England and Germany today, looking back at the game against Ghana I was really afraid this would be it for Germany today. So I was quite surprised to see the Germans pla the way they did.
    Louis is right, if the 2nd English goal would have counted the momentum would have been in the English side, then again overall the Germans were the better team. And in combination with 66 it seems to be all fair and square now.
    Looking forward to Argentine, as long as the Germans make sure not to make as stupid mistakes as the Mexican defence did today, we might actually have a shot. But it's gonna be a close one.
