At the second meeting in round 16 of the team, in circumstances behind 1-2, a Lampard shot on 39 minutes through the German defense and goalkeeper can not reach Manuel Neuer. Throws the ball slide, bounced into the goal, and replays showed clearly has passed the goal line.

Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda did not blow the whistle alias does not regard it as a goal. English players protested-yack. British officials at the bench, from Fabio Capello, the assistant coach Stuart Pearce until "the captain did not play" David Beckham, got up from his chair, raised his hands aloft, muttering uncontrollably.

In the end, Germany won 4-1 - their defeat more crushing than 44 years ago. England lift the suitcase from the World Cup, faster than the two previous editions while they lasted until the quarterfinals stage.

"It's a joke. Judges lines very close from there. They tried to return us to the year 1966," exclaimed a British fan was quoted in The Sun. An other fans shouting, "We need a line judge from Russia!"

Russia is the Tofik Bakhramov, the Soviet Union long line judge who told the referee Gofffried Dienst (Switzerland) in the final in 1966, that saw the ball passed the goal line. But Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda did not even discuss it with his assistants to assume that Lampard's shot was not a goal.

Interestingly, Larrionda rumored to say "Oh, God!" during halftime when he sees replays of the incident.

In 1966, a study calculates that the ball did not go entirely and still is 6 inches from the goal. Tonight, the British press dare mention that Lampard has entered the ball shot 60 and even 90 cm.

Events in Bloemfontein this must be remembered the world let alone England. They would say, "If that goal, means a score of 2-2, and anything can happen."

But German commentators assess it more worthy of winning because they play better than England.
