Like I said I didn't see the game so I don't know how they were playing.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230281155790900414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-66533061754854423532010-06-30T09:02:21.593+09:002010-06-30T09:02:21.593+09:00Hi Heather...excuse me while I go all soccer-nerdy...Hi Heather...excuse me while I go all soccer-nerdy on you....YES! it did make a difference, because after the ignored goal England had to go on the offensive and in that mode they opened up to more mistakes...and that means the other side have more goal chances.<br />It's like if you are doing experiments for a research paper, and suddenly someone says the results of one set of experiments doesn't count at all - and you have to do MORE experiements to prove the same point...the more experiements are done under pressure and maybe not so good!<br /><br />But - I always thought Germany would win, because the England team this time were old and heavy. But 2-2 is a much stronger position to be in than 3-1 and then 4-1.<br /><br />anyway.......sad sad sad....Oyome-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658655347848108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-25490992647916694012010-06-29T17:38:32.475+09:002010-06-29T17:38:32.475+09:00You can clearly see how the heat has melted my bra...You can clearly see how the heat has melted my brains- I can't spell right anymore...or have I been here too longHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230281155790900414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-36376352528151307152010-06-29T09:43:58.481+09:002010-06-29T09:43:58.481+09:00After all the crap (lit. and fig) of the past few ...After all the crap (lit. and fig) of the past few days/weeks, I think you need to start wearing the white tea-towel with blue edging on your head.Might stop this infernal heat from melting your brains...<br />I completely missed the game and replay, but even the guys in my work said it was a goal. Still Germany did score 4 goals so would the extra one to England have made the difference in the end? 4-2 instead of 4-1? I'm retreated now to the safety of the lab so you can't throw things ;)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230281155790900414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-38788360196687942732010-06-29T06:08:56.287+09:002010-06-29T06:08:56.287+09:00The touble is I don't think ANY heads will rol...The touble is I don't think ANY heads will roll for that one....the England win in 1966 was on an "iffy" goal and many people think this was just kharma...Oyome-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658655347848108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-69668839060409437432010-06-28T21:46:24.330+09:002010-06-28T21:46:24.330+09:00I agree - they so need a video ref for soccer.

Also read article about the goalie - saying he knew it was over but kept the ball in play anyway. Craziness. Heads will roll for that for sure.<br /><br />Nice to hear you had such a good day with okaasan.
