That goal,

Posted 29 Jun 2010 by Walaa Idris

Is already dividing opinions and will continue to, I saw it go in, and so did most of the football watching world! Sadly the referee was busy elsewhere and disallowed it and that is that.

But it is the GOAL that changed the outcome of this World Cup, and England’s stand in it. Yes, if that goal was allowed the England team – no matter how tired, exhausted or disorganised they would have found the energy and vigour – because the desire is there – to play differentially and might even have turned things around – but now we’ll never know.

I don’t know about you, but when the dust settles and the pain subsides – when all the blame and counter blame has been exchanged. Everybody will see that goal was ONE of the reasons we left the competition when we did.

Hi Walaa,

The first thing to day is that the best team won. However, despite having a central defence at sixes and sevens at 2-2 the mtch may of been completely different. You saw the surge in confidence after we scored one, I thought the Germans looked shell shocked. It would of been unlikely that we would of gone 3-2 up but at half time Capello could of calmed the players down, changed tactics, brought on Carragher for Upson and stabilised the defence.

The whole game could of been different.

Hi Dave,

I both agree and disagree with you. That serge in confidence would have doubled with the second goal. If you can bare it, try to watch the game again and focus on the noise coming from the crowed and the way the players subconsciously react to it, not the game itself, and you will see what I mean.

Nice chatting with you and thank you for commenting
