England's Matthew Upson's head shot into the goal was a thing of beauty. It was as if he were suspended in air until the ball got to him.

The call (or lack of) on Frank Lampard's goal was a crime.

England's goalie David James did a great job, but was overrun - his team were slow to respond (if they even bothered), even AFTER they got spanked by Germany all the way from the other end of the field.

The best I can say about Rooney was he made a great lure - whenever he got the ball he'd have 3-4 from Germany all over him, drawing them away from the other England players, then he'd pass instead of trying to run it in.

James was atrocious on the first goal for not coming off his line earlier.
