That was a clinic.

But I don’t want the Germans to complain any more about the call in the ‘66 Final. It’s all ‘Even Stevens’ now.

Big respect for England who played a very clean and fair game.

A true sports team would have seen at half-time that it was a goal and in the first minute of the second half let England run down the field and score an uncontested goal.

But not the Germans, not in the World Cup where winning at all costs, even honor, is all the matters.

A black eye for the sport and the World Cup.

Compare that to Brian Davis in golf a few months back, calling attention to a 2 stroke penalty no-one else saw or called. And it was in a playoff that cost a possible win.

It doesn't matter Germany won 4-1. If they had given England a goal and the half started at 2-2, both teams would have played differently from then on.

However far Germany goes, it's a soiled trip. Disgraced themselves and the game today.

Funny. You do realise that half of the people that watched that final are dead? What was "even Steven" for them?

Which only underscores what should've been obvious: two wrongs don't make it right.
