The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
Inlander:
Okay so at this rate that disallowed goal's going to be pretty much irrelevent anyway.
Sentence nobody ever thought anyone would say until this World Cup: "I really do enjoy watching this German team play football."
StaedlerMars:
Germany outplayed England. The English are going to bitch and moan about that goal, but the fact is that their defense was .... shit.
amok:
Germany's attacking play was awe-inspiring. They deserve to go far. No disrespect to Mexico, but Ger/Arg would have the potential to be the game of the tourney.
The best thing you can say about that England team is that most of the worst offenders will have retired by if not Euro 12, at least the next WC. Should stop humouring the press and the star names and get started on replacing them now or they'll have the same problems for another 10 years with the next 'golden generation.'
Re: the goal lines, I believe the idea with the extra Europa officials is to essentially adopt that as the new model of officiating, they just had to try it out somewhere first. So hopefully the next major tournament will have 'goal line judges' or whatever it is they're called (it is pretty funny in the Europa when they wander onto the pitch and just kinda hang out with the fullbacks, so I'm all for it).
Inlander:
The disallowed goal will ultimately provide comfort to English fans because it will allow them to pretend, at least to some extent, that they were cheated out of a chance to be competetive in a match in which, in reality, a youthful and enthusiastic opponent ruthlessly exposed their almost complete lack of meaningful defence.
KharBevNor:
Hurrah, all the english speaking nations have been knocked out so I guess we can close this thread. Mods?
