Regardless of the result, this game will be remembered for a ball that was 2 foot over the line.

If England don't win this match there will be a huge debate in football, not just in this country. It cannot be right that a multi-billion pound industry like this relies on an individual or two to make massive decisions like that. As a referee myself I know how hard it is to make some decisions at the best of times but let's give them a little bit of help. If England do not win this game, and justice is not done, then it will sour the game worldwide. Let's hope that fairness prevails.

England are lucky to still be in the game. |

As an England supporter I don't think we have a prayer of winning this thing. But in the interests of the good of the game, whose credibility is currently zero, let's hope that incident does not ultimately decide the match, that's the point.

The jocks are only seeing england losing at the moment, but then they don't know much about top flight football anyway, so no surprise there then!
If you lose the concept of goals, you lose football. |

If you lose the concept of goals, you lose football. Not just the Jocks..everyone looking at the game are watching England loose.....a beautiful sight. |

ASK MEXICO NOW!
NOW THE POINT IS TO KNOW WHO FIFA WANTS AS A WINNER!!! |
|
By:
Ah yes, let's use that as a reason (excuse) we lost!
FFS, we are pants as a team and anyone who can't see that is demented. We'll batter some small country in Asia no-ones ever heard of next time out and all the hype will start again. NOT GOOD ENOUGH! (maybe Sky Sports should consider that as a tag line in August?) |

Despite the fact that I was supporting Germany today, there's no doubt that it's an absolute scandal that at probably the world's premier sporting event, incompetence of that magnitude can affect the result of a match. It makes a mockery of the sport! Had that goal stood, it would have put a completely different complexion on the game, and sparked a dramatic recovery for England, and they could well have pushed on and won the match.
A 30 second referral to a video ref would have sorted that out, and provided the right result. The sport can't go on and retain it's credibility without turning to some kind of video technology to help out with contentious issues such as this. |

2 foot over... lol only one foot. England were carp
|
|
By:
think in all fairness, Germany would have still have won, we have been awful for the whole of this world cup, although 2-2, would have made it alot closer game
|

You're forgetting the scintillating 1-0 over Slovenia that harkened back to the 1970 Final and the Hungary team of the 1950s!!!!

By:
haha i like some of these comments, at least most have taken off the red and white tinted glasses and seen that although it was a goal, an average german team pumped you boys today. And the RIP football comments? i think your forgetting their is a world outside england, no one else will give it a second thought!

people don't get it about the true 2-2 score. It wouldnt have just been an equaliser but would have knocked the stuffing out of germany just as they thought they had it easy. Like a sudden couple of thunderous punches from a previously dominated fighter - that's how england play, thats our guts, and we did fight back.
|
|
By:
pumped!
|
|
By:
fought back yes for 3 minutes maybe?, where was this fight in the second half? either way you defend like that it's probably better your out before argentina got a hold of you...
|
|
By:
Even more impressive that it only took us 3 minutes.
|
|
By:
oh yeah, just as impressive as gareth barry, didn't notice the caravan he was towing all game until he was chasing ozil's shadow.

Why all the talk suddenly of the 'goal that never was'? It happened to Ireland when a video ref would have clearly changed the outcome and nobody made an issue of it. Because its now England it becomes a big issue. Apparently its just part of the cheating that is soccer. Diving, incorrect goal mouth decision, over inflated wages, too big of ego's etc, etc.......

England were awful, no disallowed goal can hide the fact that our players are over paid over rated and seemingly unfit individuals who play the wrong style of football to compete at a major tournament, on top of this we have another manager who plays people out of position..refuses to drop or substitute our big named players
However the referees and assistants have been completely inept for the majority of the tournament, they need help as the level of officials is somehow gradually slipping! So for me football has to catch up with the rest of the sporting world and introduce technology |
