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.
Oh those evil Germans (they have been born with the “evil gene” don´t they). I mean come on (btw. i have rooted against germany “I would have LOVED the fact that germany loses) But i guarantee you that NO team on earth would have done this. This is not playing in the garden with friends nor is it tennis where 1 point most times means nothing.
Ok the WC is not this much about money for the team.
It´s more national pride and prestige but anyway.
At this level you can not expect this fairness.
Just imagine your club is playing champions leage and you as
a player go to the referee and say sorry but my goal should not count because of... or whatever. Just imagine your team loses because of that. Guess what will happen. The president of this club would congratulate you for your fair play of course short after that he may ask you to hand over the 50 million Euros the club has lost because of you.
