Germany v England, Sunday 3pm

Mweelrea

Jonathan Stevenson makes a good point on the BBC's website

You know, man for man, no-one will never, ever convince me that this Germany team has this much more ability in it than the England one. But the likes of Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Gareth Barry just haven't turned up. It's hard to fathom why.

Hard to believe this is a relatively young and green German team. So efficient and well organised, brilliant stuff altogether.

Germany vs. Argie is going to be an absolute stormer, considering they both have average defenses and fantastic attacks

SarahBM

I wonder why you don't see any Germans dressed as SS Stormtroopers?

More discipline at home? Taught respect?

Don't judge all of us though, on the moronic few.

Roy Hodgson for England

Well I'd say it could well happen and he will bin half the current squad and bring in some hard working Americans.

Then why the comments about bitter and small minded?

The best part is the media, hyping the team over and over just setting them up for the inevitable collapse, it's the players you feel sorry for, Heskey is nowhere near the standard required but he gives it his all like any English guy would in the situation.

But for the media...I lol!

Can't stand him myself, worst pundit on tv along with Alan Hansen

Mr.Nice Guy

The one saving grace for England is that they have possibly spared themselves being put out by Maradona.

Lawro?

Has Heskey actually touched the ball?

Shame the English media will now focus on the Lampard 'goal' and won't acknowledge that they were totally outclassed in all areas by a superior football team.

Rooney still hasnt got his wc goal!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Schweisteiger has been immense and probably has two more world cups in him. Will not be knackered as he does not seem to do a whole lot just does all of the simple stuff brilliantly and is always in space. Only 24/25 too, along with that keeper who won the U21 championships last year along with Muller...

Proof of the pudding is in the eating, so that twat in the beeb can take off his jingo hat and realise his boys just aint a good team.

I don't agree with the man-for-man point.

Regardless whether you agree or not, Germany work far better as a unit and without Ballack too.

Was a joke, but i don't see why lawrenson should have his nationality questioned for not ripping the piss out of england, on their national TV station, when they are losing..

That is bitter, that is small minded

Agreed, he does talk some amount of rubbish.

Handsome Bob

Will the English team be as dignified as they were at half time? Me thinks they might focus their frustration on the ref.

surely not, with his middas touch he would surely have found the back of the net.

There's just no getting past Neuer

Its hard to believe how young him and Lahm are, you would think they were 30/32

Well BBC certainly haven't, they have given Germany credit, as some said earlier maybe it might be good that the media focus on the disallowed goal, otherwise forget about technology coming in the short/medium term

If pizza hut were giving out free pizzas tonight for goals scored against England this would be better day than France v Mexico.

Rooneys body language is like that of a sulky teenager - and has been for the entire tournament.

Stinicker

How will the Sun sugar coat this?

qwertplaywert

Another thought, it is prob only going to get worse for England, this is the end of the Lampard/Gerrard/Rio/Terry generation, as underwelming as they have been[save poor old Rio] , where is the players to replace them?

_Bella_

Ouch Englands biggest loss ever in a tournament
