That was just a shambles, England have an amazing team but cannot work together for s**t. All our new managers make the same mistake of drafting all the best players and when they get them together a primary school team could beat them.
Germany on paper have a worse team but they have one thing England always lacks.....they can work as a TEAM!!
Germany deserve that game I am just ashamed that England had their arse handed to them on a plate again by Germany when it counts the most to us.
Balls to the English side they should have done better its embarrassing, I hope we play the under 21's side next world cup it will do better.

Oh may I also add I thought USA played great in that last game and it was a shame they lost. It was so close it terms of skill in that game and opportunity played in favour of the opposition. USA are going to be stronger next time!!

throughout the entire World Cup the referees have been terrible!...once again changing the outcome of a match and the minds of the players and the momentum of the match ...it's time FIFA takes a long hard look at technology... at the very least goal line technology that can help in determining what is a goal and what is not like in Hockey!...
....FIFA claims they want to keep the game pure by not using modern technology and yet the Refs have ear-pieces that they communicate with the other refs with that tell them to watch  players who are involved in fouls that the head ref may have missed and subsequent yellow and red cards as well as penalty kicks have been issued using this technology so imho FIFA is full of it!

...not only has the USA suffered at the hands of the officials but every team out there including England who had a pure goal today that went unseen by any official on the field but was seen by millions watching the match!....this goal may have not done anything for the final outcome in some minds but we will never know as it wasn't granted!....the mind of a futbol player and a team can change quickly and the momentum of a match can be determined by a bad call as much as a good call but there is nothing greater to boost moral than a goal!
    The World Cup is the largest sporting event in the World and it's about time they ...meaning FIFA gets into the new Millenium with some technology that will benefit the game and even the playing field across the board...maybe with this new technology the USA will finally get involved in trying to learn the game and enjoy it as much as the entire World...rant off!

Well, although South Africa beat the French 2-1 today, both teams have come to the end of their world cup dreams.  Uruguay beat Mexico 2-1 in the same group. Both teams go through to the round of 16.
I can only guess what reception the French team is going to get when they get back home.oh my.gif


grrr I'm so angry! I would like nothing more than to knock each one of them out and ban them from the next world cup. There are no excuses for their outrageous off field behavior and reall poor team performance on field considering their individual talent!! They could not come
together as a team and work as professional... It maybe a sport to us but let's not forget it's their job and they paid way too much to do it especially this bad!!! They brought too much anger, frustrations and baggage in general to play well. It's a shame. They shamed our country, very much a soccer nation, and set a really bad example for our youth too!mad.gif

Wow another red blunder!! :( Mexico just suffered another ref obvious error and this further highlights the need for more technology as the refs obviously can't keep up!!! What a shame!! Such a goal is
a state-of-mind and therefore game changer!! Pity!!
But Argentina does have agreat team.. Such talents, great ball handling skills, team plays well and can transform opportunities into goals like no one else!! Mexico can't make defensive errors!!

Alan Shearer "We said they improved in the last game and needed to improve again to go through but they didn't get anywhere near it. They were hopeless from start to finish."

Alan Hansen "The debate will rage on about the Frank Lampard goal but I cannot believe how bad England were. Against Algeria they were abysmal but today they were four levels below that."

Lee Dixon "You have to put a performance on at this stage in the tournament but it was probably the worst defensive team performance I've seen. Quite frankly we were awful and we got ripped to pieces"

Harry Redknapp "It was a massive disappointment. Germany were a much, much better side"

Chris Waddle "The FA sit on their backsides and do nothing tournament after tournament after tournament. Why don't they listen? Why don't they look at other countries and ask 'how do they keep producing talent?"

I am not sure myself where this reputation we get for thinking we are the best at football comes from but I hear it a lot. To be honest we get excited and hope but never think we are the best......we just hope that we can bring a world cup home....do not let a bunch of drunk yobs depict the England team....we have hopes just like all contries that enter.

Hope this isn't considered "trolling", but it is just a really boring sport to me. I'd rather push a lawnmower around. That said, and as a fan of other sports including football, (not to be confused with futbol) I agree with oag, with technology and instant replays immediately available, there really is NO excuse for any officiating organization not to take advantage of them. I certainly wouldn't want to be a ref who see's his bad call 12 seconds later on a stadium bigscreen, along with everybody there, and not be able to withdraw the penalty, or award the touchdown, or not screw up a perfectly pitched game. just sayin.

I myself enjoy watching. Like the fast pace of the game but to end games with a tie to me is lame. My Dad raised me to win. And if you can't win there is no point of playing in the first place. LOL Tie games? that is for children.

A Big +1 from me on your comments Oscar (I agree 100%thumbsup.gif)...Despite the very exciting and excellent games in the World Cup, the poor referee'ing that has been pervasive throughout the entire World Cup has taken away from the great gameplay and HAS and WILL affect the final outcome of this great World Cup. 

...which is really such a pity...crap.gif

Cant believe it, Ghana had a match winninggoal in the last secs of extra time only to be stopped by the hands of a Uruguayan player. The U player got red card but the goal was annulled and the Ghanian player missed the penalty and then went on to lose the match. Wat the!!!?? AFRICA HAS BEEN ROBBED ONCE AGAIN. crap.gif
