2010 FIFA World Cup: England Out, Time To Introduce Video Replays
Match Statictics:
2010 FIFA World Cup: If you don’t know by now, England was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup by Germany, in part, a shocking decision by the match officials.
The match ended 4-1, so in some ways the goal that never was is academic, but it came at a critical time in the contest and England would have drawn level with the Germans had Frank Lampard’s strike gone in.
England were in the ascendancy and it would have changed the game. Now we will never know how it would have shifted.
In truth, Germany were a lot more incisive going forward and always looked the more likely to score. England was poor at the back and were vulnerable and they couldn’t cope with Germany’s movement.

2010 FIFA World Cup: Illegal Argentina Goal Sinks Mexico
2010 FIFA World Cup: Everybody loves Brazil.
Everyone adores Argentinean stars: Diego Maradona, Kempes, Roa, Caniggia, Crespo, Batitusta, and now Messi.
We’re delighted to watch these teams and players.
But we must abhor decisions that gift them undue advantage, especially in games like the FIFA World Cup, where the stakes are so high.
One must decry the bad officiating which has blighted this FIFA World Cup.
The Coulibaly fiasco, some questionable red cards, like the one Vs. Switzerland's Valon Behrami, Fabiano's goal from 2 hand balls, England's disallowed goal Vs. Germany, and Argentina's illegal goal this evening against Mexico especially stand out.

2010 FIFA World Cup: Soundoff: Did Fernando Torres Dive?
2010 FIFA World Cup: Hopefully we can all agree that Chile’s Marco Estrada did not deserve to be sent off for the above incident. Even though he was. Seems that whatsoever contact he made with Spain’s striker Fernando Torres – if any at all – was accidental. So referee Marco Rodriguez got it wrong.
The only question for me: How complicit was Torres complicit in this unjust sending off? Did Fernando Torres just trip over his own feet, or did he dive? The only evidence we’ve is the YouTube video above, and the .gif below:
I would say the .gif is the more incriminating for Torres, but that may be due to the fact it has him stuck in some sort of time loop, falling down for ever. The YouTube video suggests to me that Fernando Torres ran acorss Estrada’s path accidentally, causing El Nino to innocently trip over his own feet and What do you think?
