Germany is really showing what soccer is about!

This thread feels like live blogging from the Apocalypse this morning. And some of us seem to be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Ozil and podolski are very good it must be said.

Oh, come on! Playing against our defence, anyone would look pretty good!

We deserve to lose, Germany play much better as a team.

I repeat: Stockholm Syndrome.

This is supposed to be England's "Golden Generation."

So, why are they playing more like the "Golden Girls?"

At least they are still trying.

Who's Bea Arthur then?

Yes ... they're very trying.

Maybe if that goal was actually awarded, England coming back tied on the second half might have found inner strength to play harder. But Germany has that added extra confidence after the first half.

Normal service has been restored. England is out. Quelle surprise.

If the goal had been awarded, England wouldn't have been chasing the game and pushing so far upfield. When you do that, you leave the back with little cover.

It helped that the Germans were younger and faster than the England back four (See John Terry - seaside donkey).

At least now we can watch decent teams play.

Argentina x Mexico will surely be an epic game.

Sorry, mates

I wasn't surprised. Germany has been playing very well since game 1.

and now, Go Mexico !!!!!!!
