Needed a van Basten volley there by Higauin.

Come on, that's a blatant yellow. Horrible refereeing.

So unlucky Mexico. Two great attempts at goal. 10 mins in and looks like it might be a class game.

Look at Upson. Look at him. That's a tart right there.

James - 5 Johnson - 5 Terry - 3 Upson - 2 A.Cole - 5 Milner - 4 Lampard - 5 Barry - 3 Gerrard - 2 Defoe - 3 Rooney - 3 Ratings out of 10 of course.

Ozil has been fantastic. He's not the finished article, but still, smashing player.

Germany are a team of decent to good footballers. They're mobile, fit, technically competent, well drilled, composed, versatile, and can tuck away chances consistently. Despite being average overall. England are a collection of overpaid, overrated, slow, technically poor, s*** touch, s*** passing prima donnas (or premaradonas as someone on here once said). Most of them are so limited in some way or another it's embarassing. Their strengths (and the strength of the top foreign players) only mask their weaknesses in the Premiership - those weaknesses are then exposed at international level. Shameful.

I wish I was wrong. Say that England will get back into this and win on penalties, and I shall grant you your wish.

Damn. That's ownage to be fair to the Germans.

Schweinsteiger just molested Barry there. He's been quality for ze Germans despite having legs that would make Geremi look like Speedy Gonzalez.

What the f*** was the point of that? Think he's testing the water to see how badly he can play before Fabio does something about it.

Gerrard

Nice shot, but was always too high.

Should just merge it after the game is over.

Great shot by Lampard. First contribution of the WC by him, need to see more of that as he's been useless otherwise. Rooney/Defoe have struggled because of the poor midfield service. Gerrard needs to fuck off with the long balls. Just play it simply more often. Keeps looking for the killer ball. Milner has had one good cross, he's been back pocketed by Boateng the rest of the time but it still looks like he might be capable of providing an assist.

God damn. That's bullshit.

Quality ball by Gerrard.

Oh my God. Upson is abysmal.

What a finish after a poor touch. Nutmegged and in off the post.

This could easily be a Deutchsland spanking mit dem Brockwurst here.

Fuck off Terry and Upson. Holy shit they're awful together.

Wouldn't have: Gerrard, Defoe, Milner, Lampard, Johnson, Upson, James ahead of any of the Germany players. Not for this level.

Terry may have played his part, but in no way should Klose have ended up in front of Upson. Upson let his man get in front of him and got brushed out of the way like a kid.

Weak as piss by Upson. He was in front of the player when the ball bounced. Terrible.
