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.
SHHHUUURRRE!!! I mean dream on.
I guess all player who fall without contact in the box are
just tired (because a real sportsman would never provoke a fake penatlty or something like that.) Don´t you love it when all the players run to the referee and tell him Please i didn´t score REALLY NOT because i may have used my hand or please the other team really deserves a penalty kick.
Get real!
The two have absolutely no connection. The fact that the game is filled with cry-babies and dives at every opportunity, that penalty shots are scored after bad calls etc has nothing to do with a clear goal that was missed. In tennis, I have often seen a player let his/her opponent take the next point after a blantant missed call. As I mentioned, in golf players call penalty strokes on themselves all the time.
The Germans after half-time knew they were tied 2-2. The honorable thing would have been to let the Brits score. But your comment “Dream On” is accurate. There is very little decency and honor left in the world, if I could even assume a team in the World Cup would right an obvious wrong on a goal I must be delusional, I must be dreaming.
