Rooneys petulance wont help either

what the hell does he expect ??

Algeria did perform well, lucky for England that they don't have a striker.
I just don't understand why Capello insists on playing Lampard and Gerrard together and with all do respect to Heskey, he shouldn't be starting, England needs an active threatening striker . Hopefully Capello will start Defoe, J Cole and Carrick in the next game and please no Lampard and Gerrard at the same time.

Ouch! that's gotta hurt
US where until recently soccer was considered a kids game is the head of Group
And England where 'football' is a quasi religion comes second in that same group

I think both are sunk when they meet South America IMHO.

[Siuchingach]

england out (as most probably already know)

Germany deserved to win even

if it was a goal (englands 2nd ) the result would have been the same

that was wasnt a game of football, basically we were taken apart by a YOUNGER BETTER team and pubically executed in front of 40k odd people

well at least most of those prats will be to old for the next one

[Vikonbarius]

I was struck by how happy the German players were as they made their substitutions. High-fiving as they came on. When as a team have we ever seen that scene with England? To enjoy a match, to dominate and to be good enough to be happy and smiling that the job is done when you leave the field.

I can't tell now if it's worse to be a die-hard football fan or a casual supporter who has been caught up with the 'fever' only to wish they'd never followed the die-hard's lead [much as they hate us part-timers].

Although the goal that was disallowed wouldn't have impacted the final score line you never know what psycological effect it could have had if it had been allowed. Regardless the final score allows FIFA to duck the issue altogether which is saddest part. 'It takes too long to check', what kind of excuse is that, or the other one 'fans like to debate such issues' and lastly 'it's too expensive to implement and unfair on the poorer clubs' well so is having millions to spend on top class players but they're not capping wages for the likes of Chelsea and Man City to make it fair for Blackpool!

Every countries that I care about are now knocked out except for Japan.
GO JAPAN

i love folks who say "it wouldn't have mattered" (re: ENG vs. GER)...

going into halftime 2:1 vs. 2:2 is significant I think.... especially with all the frustration and anger of WHY you go in at the half 2:1.

that said, i was cheering for GER anyway.
...took em a long time to "right the wrong" that happened in 1966(?) ... simply incredible that the two goals were SO MUCH alike...

[Dodoerabe]

I agree with Tango, there's something called momentum and to come back the way they did in only 2 minutes time, shows what the english players are capable of, to be denied that 2nd goal forced them to be in all out attacking mode which the germans capitalized on with two counter-attacks. I still believe that this generation of english players deserve better and also that Capello should go back to what he does best, club managing/coaching. His stuborness was the downfall of the english squad, i'll say it again: why play Gerrard and Lampard at the same time, why play Barry instead of Carrick, why not start the unpredictable/creator J Cole instead of predictable/uni-function Milner and last but not least these guys IMO would've/would done/do wonders in a diamond formation.
For me there are two teams that i'll still follow, the dutch and the ghanaian squads.

[teodaschwartia]

No chance... with that defence Germany would have still done a number on us in the second half.

Why are people querying that England fans have admitted we were outclassed, even with the disallowed goal? I can understand it if we'd said "we would have won if it wasn't for that damn linesman!"... but it's obvious that the Germans we're better in every department. Christ, if it wasn't for James we would have been 4 down by half time.

I shudder to think what the score would be against Argentina.

[RastusuadegeFrimoum]

Let's just agree to disagree on this one.

[pedFlicle]

I think Brazil will lose * cough * by 2-1 to the Netherlands...

[ceagstuntee]

So, we won........

For all Brazilians, you can just cheer for Holland I'll give you some of the lyrics

Hup Holland hup
Laat de leeuw niet in zijn hempie staan
Hup Holland hup
Trek het beestje geen pantoffels aan
Hup Holland hup
Laat je uit het veld niet slaan
Als ons Oranje-team zich meet met 't een of ander landl
dan vult het legioen het stadion tot aan de rand
Dan wegen wij de kansen af en gokken met elkaar
en geven wijs of eigen wijs ons voetbalcommentaar
Zo wachten wij gespannen af tot dat de fluiter fluit
en rolt de bal, dan zingen wij met donderend geluid

[heennaRaf]

one time my friends' cat walked all over my keyboard and the resulting text looked exactly like that.

[AlexanderPalamayr]

Dont mess with hup holland hup! If you are upset with mexico loosing that does not mean you have to talk trash on one of our cheering songs!

[NumsAmenniams]

Mexico losing? Were the even in the worldcup???

Can't believe Ghana missed that penalty in the last minute.......

[Hamucevasiop]

What's a shock to see Argentine lose to Germany for 4-0. Congrat. to the German for a flawless victory.

[Snuddyentaine]

Deutchland!! Deutchland!! Deutchland!! Deutchland!! A mention for every goal!!

[jaydicassdhy]

Holy crap, they scored another? I had to leave after it was 3-0. I never dreamed Germany would lay the smackdown like that after seeing Argentina walk all over everybody else. Maradona looked pretty tragic.
