Germany v England, Sunday 3pm

jayteecork

Guys been watching the highlights.

Just wondering if Schweinsteiger actually picked up Ozil for the 4th goal or did he simply hoof it out of defence?

It would have been one amazing pass if he meant it.
Check it out in the replays, the flight of the ball is incredible.

Hey, did Podolski not get an assist in the game?

Reading the above comment, maybe I mistook one for the other. I coulda sworn Podolski got an assist though.

Watching SSN about 12.15am this morning, they showed a clip of Andy Gray and Richard Keys prestenting WC2010 coverage for American T.V. and I could have sworn I heard Andy Gray calling for either Alan Shearer or David Beckham to be the next England manager.....He also said "Don't tell me an Englishman wouldn't have gotten more out of this bunch of players over the last 10 years" obviously a reference to Sven's reign and totally wiping from history Steve McClaren's 2 years in the job...
but this morning on World Cup Report a different clip was shown which had him calling for Harry Redknapp or Roy Hodgson to get it and Beckham to be assisant with Beckham then taking over after the next WC.....
Did Any one see the 12.15 clip? or was I dreaming...:D

I'm not sure i understand. All professional football clubs have cctv. It can't be prohibitively expensive to set up a few cameras and a monitor??

I know there is more to it than that, but the reason it hasn't been brought in is definately not down to the cost!

Somehow I doubt CCTV would help all that much

However, to set up a camera either end of the pitch looking at the goal line would be fairly cheap.

The pundits seem to be all for 'Goal Line technology' whatever the hell that's meant to be. But for the relatively few instances where you have the 'did it go over / did it not go over' it would be a complete waste.

In the upper tiers of football and all big tournaments matches, video replay should be used. Simple. There is no extra cost, as television camera's are already there, and I've yet to see a decision that could not have been made with merely the television footage.

If they did it like rugby, ad have a television official, or like American football as Archimedes suggested, it would work quite well, be easy to implement, and NOT be cost prohibitive.

The idea would not to bring the technology to the lower division clubs etc but only have it for the top divisions, and top tournaments. (I would imagine the lieks of the FA cup etc would have it also though, even in the early rounds).

I would be of the opinion that we were clearly the better team. Their chances amounted to half-chances for me whilst we had the better ones.

It isn't just that though, we were better in the tackle, more imaginative with the ball etc.

Your logic is flawed by the way, the Bulgarians played us off the park in June but we still managed to draw the game.

no, you saw it.

complete drivel of the highest order.

they've picked on the fact Holland had Rijkaard, Van Basten. Germany had Kilnsmann, etc. and saying England should give those kind of guys a chance at international level.

it's all quick-fix cr*p that doesn't get to the crux of the issue.

England don't have coaches, and the grass-roots game is broken, void of technical proficiency. Kids are taught positions, not the game. there are too many competitive under-age leagues at too young an age.

as i say, the grass-roots game is broken, something the likes of Trevor Brooking have been trying to tell everyone for many years now.

Did a piece on how the International Press greeted this game and others. Look out for the Daily Mail's frontpage at the bottom of the post. Disgusting as ever.

I'm listening to this old fella on SSN at the minute, yesterday before the German match he and another guy both agreed England played very well against Slovakia. Seems to have back tracked today and now he is saying they played a little bit better compared to the other 2 group games.

So many high horses have collapsed in the last 19 hours.

I seem to remember Ian Wright say something similar before Capello got the job - appoint an English manager even if there wasn't anybody qualified.

james should have saved 3 of germanys goals,simply awful,
could easily have been 4-1 england, hit bar twice, goal disallowed,gerrard missed great chance by not hitting it harder past keeper, its just luck, it was not meant to be,

It wasn't just luck. Germany were a far superior football team....nothing lucky about that.
