Capello shouldn't have allowed them that drink to settle their nerves and help them to sleep last night!:rolleyes:

There is no way they could so anything else....even if they have all the bias in the world, the english performance throughout the competition was woeful.

Yeah but throughout every other game they went way too positive and I thought post match that they would go easy on England and try and pin the blame on other things

I wonder which German newspaper will have the guts to use the word "blitzed" in its World Cup headline?

Thomas Mueller just said hello to his two Grannies and his Grandad in a live interview ...that's going to make headlines, if anything

Poor England.
But man were they poor!

Still can't see the German's being champions however, don't have much faith in their keeper or the defence.

Looking forward to Argentina Mexico now.

BBC leading the campaign for Capello's removal, they really want him gone after this performance

Dilynnio · 27-06-2010 05:11PM

Sky news are blabbing on about 1966......FFS......have they no dignity.....take it on the chin.....your crap.....your out......get over it!:rolleyes:

Kiwi_knock · 27-06-2010 05:14PM

To be fair to the BBC they did not place too much blame at the feet at the linesman instead the majority of the blame was directed towards Capello

I think that he should probably take the team with him.

Duggy747 · 27-06-2010 05:20PM

Heh, the English told us to "Get over it!" when Henry did that deed to us.

Now they know how it feels for a linesman to cheat you! :pac:

Yeah. I'm lovin' it.

This has really made my day and my year.

CAn't wait to see the back pages of the Daily Mirror tomorrow.

I hope the British media won't be blaming this outcome on the "goal that wasn't". Better team won today and probably could have scored more if they'd been bothered.

Germany = more skillful, better discipline, better tactics, better movement, better TEAM.

Oh and karma etc ....

Perfect result would be "Germany win World Cup and Sepp Blatter to be offed by some angry English fan."

they didnt really though, tbf most of their coverage was very sympathetic towards the Irish.
I agree with Brady though, im glad this happened cause it forced Fifa to have a look at things.

Chicken Run · 27-06-2010 05:54PM

tomorrow's headline

"Don't mention the score"

Well that was a bit of a broad comment on my part, I meant a lot of English journalists worte pieces about us as a nation frothing at the mouth and "clinging to straws" on getting a place in the World Cup . That and the following weeks I'd seen a lot of comments around the web pretty much laughing at us.

Anywho, yea England have a better chance getting Fifa to do something considering they're bidding to host the World Cup themselves. Though will probably fall on deaf ears.

Here's a few to get ye started, hope im not repeating someone else, havent read the whole thread.

The England team went to visit a South African orphanage. "It was good to put a smile on the faces of people who have no hope and are constantly struggling," said Joseph Umboto, aged six.

Police have charged the man who entered the England dressing room with 'trespassing. Twenty-three others have been charged with impersonating a footballer.

England have got a new coach... It picks them up from Heathrow in the morning.

:D

BigBrownBear · 27-06-2010 06:49PM

I'm just glad the Germans scored 3 and 4 'cos if they didn't the British media would have harped on about nothing but Lampards disallowed goal.
Now its just a bitter pill that needs to be swallowed:D

johngalway · 27-06-2010 06:56PM

A pity they didn't score 5 and 6 as well

johngalway · 27-06-2010 07:16PM

So....

Argentina vs Meh-he-ko?

Argentina methinks.

Kiera · 27-06-2010 07:20PM

I'm rooting for Mexico. They did knock the French out afterall

walshb · 27-06-2010 07:20PM

Well I won't be all that bothered following the cup now that England are out.

Agricola · 27-06-2010 07:21PM

Im kind of sorry England didnt scramble through somehow today. It would have been alot more satisfying to watch a Maradona led Argentina utterly destroy them in the Quarter final.

johngalway · 27-06-2010 07:22PM

I'd like to see the over weight ex coke fiend get to the final anyway. Pity they can't play Germany in it though.

dolliemix · 27-06-2010 07:22PM

That was a crazy match....the best of the WC so far imo. I was so glad Germany won so convincingly in the end. They ran rings around them. I did feel sorry for Lampard with the disallowed goal but they had plenty of time to prove themselves in the second half and they were just dead! That linesman would have been dead if the Germans hadn't completely outplayed them in the 2nd half. Another day out for me with my friends from Germany!!!

C'mon Argentina!

Italy v Slovakia was miles better imo.

In the last twenty minutes yes, but the English German match was drama from start to finish!

Speaking of which, it's a bit unfortunate that only one of Germany and Argentina (sorry Mexico but you're not going to beat both of these) will be in the Semifinal when you look the Uruguay+S.Korea+Ghana+USA bracket.
