Podolski played poorly, that goes without saying, but that ref is the story really, he was punishing clean plays, sending Klose off was really, really weak, and then his whole style of refereeing changes in the last 30 minutes. I liked that the Germans went for it, putting on strikers, that was good.

I agree with you. I feel the Germans were better because they controlled the possesion more. Also, it's not that they were better, it's just us having a weak menatlity. Were we scared to attack or what, I don't know. All I know is they allowed the Germans to attack even with 10 men. but that said, our win was not undeserved because we too created good chances and could and should have scored couple of more (Jovanovic post, Zigic crossbar). As for the red card, it was deserved, you can't just go on tackling people from behind. And while I might see it, why you think the ref played for us, you have to remember he also very easily handed out yellow cards to us as well. Not to mention the penalty given to the Germans, which was a penalty though. Not a great reffed game but not that horrible either.
