scouser 4 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Time up. I was convinced that Heskey was going to get those three goals when he came on. Germany played really well and looked good and clearly deserved to win by a mile, as England were shite. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Damn that's really dented Rooney's chance of getting the most goals in the tournament. He was so well on his way. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 So glad that the goal-that-wasn't turned out not to be important. England would have lost even if had go to 2-2 surely. I see that Argentinas first goal was very clearly offside as well. Time for the madness to end and Fifa to bring in stuff that will stop crap like this happening. Eyes looking at a vid when stuff like this happens - just how difficult is that? The 4th official could have a monitor and stop decisions like the two last night from happening there and then.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 The rousing chorus of "The referees a wanker" was the highlight of the game. I didn't spot any birds on the pitch or goals this time. Germans played some decent football too. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I have 2 football questions: - why isn't some simple video playback or technology used in cases like this. It seems ridiculous to let obvious mistakes go in such big games - when it's a goal kick, why does the goaly most often kick it right out into the field. Most times the opposing team seems to pick it up. If he passed to one of his defenders and they passed up the field, it would seem to be the better idea. ? Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Gutted. It has all been said before, but we are left wondering "what if?". However, I have to think that even if Lamps goal had been given we still would have been beaten by the better side. And it is divine justice for 66. But, if Lamps goal had been given, we would have had a chance to go to penaltys. Those last german two goals only came cos we had 8 men in their half chasing a goal. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 On the bright side, at least we have something to gripe about. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I just can't see that bobby. England were half-decent for that 5 minute period. Other than that, totally outplayed. The defence was especially embarrasing. It's hard to believe that they would have held on for a draw, it really is. Like big-will said, I'm glad that they were thrashed, it makes the non allowed goal thing an almost non issue. Link to post Share on other sites

gurgle 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Does anyone have any idea what the combined salaries ("wages" for hard core footy fans) are for each team ? I would really like to see that stat, and specifically where England rank..... Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Players don't get paid salary to play for their country. They get paid to play for their club which is an entirely different thing. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Argentina game wasn't as exciting as the England one. But Messi made an assist and they won. Link to post Share on other sites

Rugby union has been using video playback for ages. The FIFA standing is that it cannot be universally applied to every game, so there would still be mistakes, unfairness, inconsistencies. Hoofing up the field is for territory. 50/50 chance of getting it and going for goal. Dribbling out of your own half gives chance for the other side to take it off you in your own half. That's what the coach said to us many many years ago in England. Link to post Share on other sites
