Most of media pundits will remember the goal was taken away from England in the first half. Yes, this was a bad call but in reality, it was small factor in the out come of the German 4-1 dismantling of England.

The Three Lions have played like crap since the World Cup began. England should have killed the USA instead wound up with one all tie.

England couldn’t score against an inferior Algerian squad and this ended in a nil-nil draw.

England struggled in a 1-0 over Slovenia.

German was faster and stronger.

The Germans first goal, in the 20^th minute, was a lightening quick counter attack.

Actually, the German keeper Manuel Neuer punted the long ball. The punt split the English “D” down the middle.

Miroslav Klose beat two defenders to the ball. English keeper David James instead of taking charge he stood his ground.

This was a dumb move.

Klose scored to make it 1-0 Germany.

The English “D” was horrible.

This was the match changer.

The English played without heart.

Germany scored a few moments later on a great easy goal by Lukas Podolski nailed the winner in the 32^nd minute to make 2-0.

A header by Upson in the 37^th minute cut the gap to 2-1.

Then Lampard’s goal that was not a goal and all broke loose in the media as well as on the pitch.

Sure, this may have changed the direction of the match in the English favor but Germany was a far superior side on this day.

The Germans kicked the English butts all over the pitch.

England was not ready to play.

Germany beat the English to every free ball, every crossing ball into the box, every ball period.

The sad fact is this England was overrated.

Wayne Rooney played like crap.

The English defense was Swiss cheese.

Lampard, Cole, Gerrard, James, Defoe, and Terry looked like they were running cement boots.

You could have timed these clowns with a sundial.

Fire the coach. Fire the players. Do what Brasil did after we were embarrassed in the 2006 World Cup. Get rid of the fat cats. Bring in younger players who are hungry and want to win.

Fire Rooney, Cole, Gerrard, Cole, James, and Terry.

England you got what sowed.

Bupkis.

Another controversial goal in the World Cup so what else is new?

Argentina rolls past Mexico 3-1.

Tevez’s first goal was clearly offside by at least two yards. The ref said it was good. Argentina was up 1-0 after the 26^th minute.

This goal took the wind out of the Mexican sails.

A dumb turnover near the Mexican goal gave Gonzalo Higuain a gift in the 33^rd minute.

Argentina was up 2-0.

Tevez powered a bullet of strike from 25 yards out in the 52^nd minute to give Argentinos a 3-nil lead.

Mexico started out like a house on fire.

The Mexican side had two good strikes on goal.

Argentina didn’t succumb to the pressure.

The superior Argentina side took control of the match.

And then rout was on.

Higuain now has scored four goals in the World Cup.

Argentina has a hot date with Germany the team that knocked them out of the 2006 World Cup Quarterfinals.

This is deja vu all over again.

I expect and Argentina-Brasil final.

Pompey fought the gallant fight but in the end Chelsea’s superior firepower, won the FA Cup in a thrilling 1-0 win.

Chelsea had the most scoring chances but the Blues couldn’t pull the trigger until Didier Drogba’s deadly free kick from twenty yards out was squeezed between Portsmouth keepers David James out stretched hand the right post in the 59^th minute.

Prior to Drogba’s deadly strike Pompey had a golden chance to spin the match on its head but Kevin-Prince-Boateng’s PK was stone cold stopped by Blues keeper Petr Cech in the 56^th minute.

Wham bam just like that in a span of three minutes the match was twisted on its ear and the Blues stuck a fork in Pompey’s dream of winning the FA Cup.

Portsmouth is broke and given the heave-hoe all in one season, yet this was a glorious run by the foreclosed side.

The money made from reaching the FA Cup might help the bankrupt Pompey.

Frank Lampard had a chance to increase the Blues lead in the 89^th minute but Portsmouth keeper David James said “No way Jose” and shut em down.

Way to go garoto.

All in all Chelsea was in complete control of the match from beginning to end.

The Blues achieved the daily double winning the EPL and FA Cup titles.

Trust me when I say this Chelsea is heading down the backside of forty. This means Drogba and the boys are getting older. Their window of opportunity is rapidly closing.

They need to bring in younger players to replace the fading stars.

The “Special One” Jose Mourinho brought Drogba and the rest in but the management has not found replacements for them.

Mourinho is good a winning titles with other peoples talent but his ability to build a championship squad stinks.

This is not Mourinho’s strong suit.

Man U had a down year by their standards but remember the Red Devils lost the fake Ronaldo and few other players. The mighty boys from Old Trafford played a very young squad.

Watch out EPL!

My guys from Arsenal are in the same boat. We were besieged by injuries. Younger guys such as Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, and Carlos Vela were asked to step in big time to replace RVP and Cesc Fabregas who were hit by the injury bug.

My Gunners will be ready next year to win the title as well.

Flamengo battles Vitoria later today.

Lets hope Rubro-Negro doesn’t stink the joint out on the road in Salvador.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

Mengao is in shambles.
