Germany 4 England 1 (27th June, 2010)

The head of FIFA Sepp Blatter played his part in Germany’s 4-1 demolition of England. With the score at 2-1 to Germany, England’s Frank Lampard fired a shot a metre over the line. It was not given by the referee. Blatter’s refusal to allow video technology in football cost England dearly. Blatter’s 19th-century thinking aside, Germany clearly deserved to win this game. The English defense failed four times. German attackers showed four times how brilliantly they can finish. Miroslav Klose powered in front of England’s Matthew Upson to slide the ball past goalkeeper David James for the first. Lukas Podolski beat the 'keeper from a tight angle for Germany’s second. Matthew Upson got one back for England before Lampard scored to equalize, but didn’t. England came out the stronger after the break but two goals from Thomas Mueller put the game to bed.
