The Guardian's as it happens commentry said 'That disallowed goal has given this match a very surreal atmosphere.'. I remember getting the feeling the latter 1/2 of the first half after that disallowed goal had created a strange atmosphere. The Germans were far from comfortable with it.

more from Guardain-
67 min: THIS COULD BE IT FOR ENGLAND. Germany 3-1 England. The ball having bounced off the wall, four German players stream upfield, no red shirts bothering to chase back and help. Down the inside left, Schweinsteiger rolls the ball wide right to Muller on the right-hand edge of the England box. James gets a hand to the shot, but it was hit hard as you like and flies into the bottom-right corner.

69 min: England's four defenders make it back to their area.

more
76 min: England are a pathetic rabble now. Ozil and Schweinsteiger are running at what passes for their defence, time and again, at will

this is what i was thinking too

85 min: Still, look on the bright side, at least Rooney didn't melt down and get himself sent off.
more

and the end comes
FULL TIME: Germany 4-1 England
England were appalling. And anyway, when you boil it down, England played well for 54 seconds out of 90 minutes. A terrible show, an embarrassment, and an especially pathetic defensive performance.

I know, I feel bad. I want Brazil to win but I don't want Chile to lose. The perfect match would be Brazil vs Spain and Chile vs Portugal but it didn't happen, unfortunately. Whatever happens, I am South America until the end. I'm loving Uruguay. Forlan and Suarez are GREAT. I love the fact that Uruguay is very authentic. They play like good old Uruguay and not like Argentina or Brazil. I also love how Maradona is adored in Argentina, how the players love him and respect him and how he made himself respected after all those problems he had. He is so passionate you can tell that football is his life.

Transcript of Capello Hesky conversation before Hesky came on as sub when England went 3-1 down
Capello-Hesky. Start warming up
Hesky-eh? Me?
Capello-Yes.you you’re going on for Defoe
Hesky-are you sure about this?
Capello-Huh?
Hesky-Maybe you aught to think about it for 5 mins or so
Capello-no.your going on
Hesky-Look,boss...why don’t you send Peter on.He’s well up for it and to be honest i’m feeling a bit intimdated...the fans don’t like me...and hey.Peter scores goals for England...He’s a prolific goalscorer for England!!!!
Capello-Prawlifeeek?
Hesky-Something that someone does regularly
Capello-He’s a freak
Hesky- acc.to the oxford English dictionary a freak is A thing or occurrence that is markedly unusual or irregular...like your strikers scoring goals.
Capello-I want you to hold the ball up
Hesky-so it gives time for Rooney to get back into postion?
Capello-Yes
Hesky-Why don’t you just put Pete on and let him just kick it into the net without messing all this messing around?
Capello-Just do what i tell you

it looked like a spanish player blatantly feigned being elbowed in the head by a potugal player. I just don't know how they can live with themselves and actually call themselves sportsman. I'm pretty sick of all that cheating and dishonesty and bad decisions. IN fact much as i'm pissed off with the England players they did show good spirit to come back into the game after going 2 down and if that ref hadn't have wrongly disallowed our goal, which the FIFA president has now apologised for, then we might have scrapped through against the Germans.

you obviously didn't see the end of the game, because Suarez was red carded and a penalty was given to Ghana. Gyan missed it (hit the crossbar) in the 120th minute. The game went to penalties, and Uruguay won 4-2.

Germany was amazing today. They are truly the best team of this world cup.

.


Funnily enough i did fall asleep, out of drunkness and didn't see the end. I looked at it on youtube before coming to a conclusion. The fact that he was red carded is irrelevant! So, is the fact Ghana missed the penalty. You sound like you think it's the penalty takers fault for missing! He cheated Ghana out of a place in the world cup semi-final. Uruguay should be banned from International football.

there was a handball, he was punished, red card, penalty, how is that a travesty of justice? And why should anyone be banned from international football?

And it is quite obvious that it is the penalty taker's fault for missing. He could have become a hero there and then, but he didn't have the guts for it. Plus Uruguay is a better team. I was rooting for Ghana, but in the end they could not deal with the pressure.

And what about Spain? They did not deserve to qualify. Paraguay could have won the game even though they were the weaker team.

I will be cheering for Uruguay, although I kind of get the feeling that Germany will be the champions.

They should change the rules so that when an outfield player stops the ball on the line with his hand it automatically becomes a goal.

Not sour at all. Holland is a ridiculous team and Brazil was even more ridiculous for losing the way they did.

Where's the love for the shirt they wear? Where's the respect for those 5 stars? The problem is not losing, it's losing without giving the blood.

I agree!

Spain didn't deserve, Holland didn't deserve. Uruguay did what they had to do and it's not their fault that Ghana lost that penalty and the others.

I think Scolari would do a good job, he was the coach in 2002, he was also the coach of my team Palmeiras and we won almost everything. I like his gaucho macho style.

Yeah lots of exotic people doing exotic things :P

Well it's been MASSIVE world cup fever in our house :D

Olia will be glad to know I had Greece in our work's sweep ;) see I'm destined to live in Greece some time in my life lol :P

Both my dad and Alan have picked Holland to win - my dad had to choose all his winners game by game so in his work's competition he is up for mega bucks if they win the world cup so just for the next few days it's GO HOLLAND !!!! :D

They should change the rules so that when an outfield player stops the ball on the line with his hand it automatically becomes a goal.
apprently the guy's now said his is the 'real' hand of god not maradonna.
there's also some talk of further action.
I'm still pretty outraged about this. The guy has seriously got to pay. If he hadn't done it Ghana would have gone through. Very very shocking cheating. :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:
It's a game and I think he was bold and that's why I love it.
maybe tonight one of them can slip an knife into theri shirts and chivvy up some Dutch guys. It'd be risky but it'd be a bold move!

Congrats Netherlands on your win. Have to confess I wanted Uruguay to win but a good team beat them.

Germany just lost and I am so happy. Yeah, they won't get closer to Brazil in number of titles, not this time.

Ironically I want Spain to beat that damn Holland once for all! I never thought I would support Spain.
