We didn't deserve to win anyway imo. Still rather gutted.

There is actually a lot of next generation players, sat in the chelsea, man utd, everton, man city reserves. And our under 17's I think (maybe even younger) won the last euros (beat spain) playing "total football". The problem is where do they go?!

The problem is the way the premier league is... they will never get, or get very limited chances when at their age they need to be playing week in week out in the big games, like the german squad that just beat us.

Unless the F.A changes the rules then we are "doomed" as money talks.

Speaking of money the whole game from an English perspective is fucked, not just on the field either, from grass roots to professional level, from the managers , to the owners of clubs, to the majority of people who attend matches now, to the numpties on the phone ins after matches - it has all been ruined by money and very poor management by the F.A, the "beautiful" game, the working class "religion" - lying in tatters.

Ahem.

If ever there has been a case for video review of goals, this World Cup is surely it.

America scored a goal against Slovenia that was disallowed for reasons that no referee could explain.

Argentina scored a goal while offsides against Mexico. This goal was allowed even though it should have been disallowed.

England scored a goal against Germany that was disallowed.

That's THREE instances where goals weren't counted properly. It makes NO sense, when we have the technology to review the goal. It would only take 30-45 seconds per goal, and that would only be on the contested goals. Either that or adopt a rule similar to the NFL that allows a coach one challenge per game (and allow video review for the coach's challenge).

Apparently FIFA is going to review using technology to help the referees, but not until after this world cup has finished. I think it's a good idea to use the technology that is available in order to help the referees make a decision. I also agree that they should wait until after the world cup finals have been played as it would be unfair to introduce any changes before the end.

FIFA won't do anything, just watch, they will just repeat what they always do when something like this happens. I can't stand Blatter and Platini is nearly as bad.
