Good soccernet article by Uli Hesse:

"Germany low on budget big on ideas"

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-c...901&ver=global

"I'm probably part of a very small minority in my own country when I say that the 38th minute was crucial, but I have been clamouring for instant video replays for so long (see "Men and Machines, 2005") that I'm positively enraged at still having to live with such an appalling refereeing decision in an important World Cup game."

"I, for one, am not sure our young players would have recovered so easily from conceding two goals in less than two minutes at a point in the game when they should have been up by three or even four. Not to mention that England might have finally broken out of that strange stupor which has held them captive ever since the World Cup began."

"But enough of that. I should probably take a similar stance to former Scotland international-turned BBC pundit Alan Hansen, who said: "England were hammered. The bottom line is they are lucky it was only four.""
