And when people with names like Barack Hussein Obama are called natural born citizens of the U.S.
Good comment. When we go from Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, etc. to Obama, we know that we are a nation in a cultural free-fall.
Oh how I hate those who voted for Obama.

I see your point, but I read it as more of a comment as to what happened to Britain after the war. It went downhill after they voted out Churchill in favor of Atlee.

That’s true. And again, at the risk of sounding like an American buttinsky wanting to change the “beautiful game”, put some extra end-line refs out there — at least to get another point of view, if you don’t want technology slowing the pace.

No they really declined when they failed to heed the warnings of Enoch Powell. Powell was 100% correct but the intelligentsia conspired to destroy him. But what they (British intellectual class) really did was destroy Britain.

I agree, they don’t have to go overboard and do it like the NFL. But you would think for something as important as verifying goals they could get some help in there.

Well Maggie gave them a fighting chance to come back, but that has been squandered as well.

it did indeed but I get pissed off when America brings their 200 year war up for a game or when the England media brings world war two up .
They have nothing to do with sport.
if the goal had stood then England would not have thrown players forward thus not getting caught on the break.
Fact is Germany played better today when England beat Germany 5,1 England played better.
the score counts in the end and we all know that if we have been following the sport for decades unlike the JCL’s

That’s just it, we can never know, although the horrible English back line did give a pretty indication of how things probably would have went.
And I must say in the case of John Terry, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

The entire west is going to crap not just America or the Uk,
has diversity from third world countries helped the west along, yes I think so but that is another subject and this is sport.
Personally on here I would rather talk about this game as the OP wanted by the headline.

I agree. btw. I guess a “goal cam” would be something that even most of “hardcore” soccer fans could agree with because
it would not slow down the game (and there is still enought place for horrible referee calls ;-)
Leave the rest to the referee (including wrong penalties ;-)
But if they use video to penalize players after a game (as they do) why not just look at the camera to say goal or not goal if you are not shure. This would not end soccer as we know it.
To: dfwgator
I was amazed how bad Terry played, why on earth was he right up there,
I know England was pushing forward but they should not have been that much up front that early on
Anyway got to go and watch Argentina who I think will win this.

kickball is fun to play(I lettered in high school and college) but watching it for 2 hours or more as the ball bounces around back and forth well no wonder people get stinking drunk at the matches
To: manc
No, look at the condition of England today. They have been on a course of self-destruction since the late 1940's. It's not at all unreasonable to ask the question; "would they have been better off if they had lost". It's not all that unreasonable. As I've stated, the Germans had no intention of destroying British Civilization. The British have done a spectacular job of that themselves.
So what's so unreasonable of asking the question? Could the German's have done better? Germany, despite their problems is in much better shape and has a much better chance of preserving their civilization than what Britain does.
Remember that great Kinks song: There's no England anymore?

I wish both teams could lose, but I have to root for the Argies because of Messi, despite that commie coach of theirs’.

Well, you know its a different world when people with names like Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski are called GERMANS. That's almost as bad as Carl Yastrzemski and Joe Dimaggio being called Americans.

the whole west has gone to crap including America but I’ll take it over a bunch of NAZI mass murderers being in control of us.
The NAZIS were scum

Good point. Although I sure wish they could play for the Bialo-Czerwoni.
