World Cup Game #51

[catalyst2]

The 4-1 scoreline in Germany's favour over England was about right for this game, I felt. All the talk will be about the disallowed goal but the fact is that Germany were devastating on the counter-attack whilst England were flat, Rooney still napping away. The English defence was caught napping so many times that it just became painful to watch and it could well have been 6-1 by the end. The impotence of the English attack just embarrassed me after a while. At the final whistle it felt like someone had removed a pain, so agonizing was it to watch England's stumbling fumbling shuffle.
