The game was played in a very good spirit, hardly any fouls and almost any contact was coincidental while battling hard for the ball.

Other than de Rossi's shirt-tug dive (as in, de Rossi was pulling on the England players shirt and fell over) that negated an England corner. I hate that guy, mostly for the
elbow on McBride which was just not a soccer play in any way. At least Gattuso's gone...
Too bad England was so disjointed going forward. The loss was deserved but disappointing. They only needed one goal.
I'm now rooting for Germany. I like their style, and they have the best national anthem.
