Sports Forum - RE: England vs Germany - Page 9
Elite
By that logic Paull ALL goals are flukes. England have been the biggest users of the long ball/direct approach lately so to start criticising a team that used it during one small phase of a match smacks of hypocrisy.
As I pointed out earlier a fluke is by definition "an accidentally good or successful occurrence". Therefore you are suggesting that the Germans didn't mean to pass to Klose it was just a fortunate accident. Thats poppycock quite simply. Whether the tactic is deemed good by yourself is irrelevant the fact remains that the Germans passed to Klose intentionally who then intentionally shot at goal and scored. No part of that can be labelled a "fluke" since it was all intentional.
If the pass to Klose had been a mis-kick and the pass was intended for someone else then yes its a fluke. If Klose had been aiming for the corner flag and ended up scoring then thats a fluke too. Running on to a pass that was aimed at him though and scoring is just a tame goal which the England team should have defended better.
Labelling it a fluke is just being a sore loser.

I can only think of one way to respond to your very mature response there Paull. That response may result in this thread getting locked and me getting a warning on this site but its a price I'm willing to pay so here goes.......

Again I'm assuming you're saying there will be a video ref who signals the "proper ref" to give the decision.
The problem I think is people are thinking purely about the England and Spurs goals that went yards over the line, whereas I'm saying what about the ones that just cross.
How many different angles do you need to see it from sometimes before you are sure. Again it's going to take what 15seconds to see it from 4different angles and even then sometimes, you want to see the four angles again to be sure.You only need 1 angle. Directly on the goal line can be seen within a few secs. Why would it take any longer to see if was or wasn't? Directly on the goalline gives no parallax error. As long as you see the whole ball over it's a goal. Assuming it's not offside or a foul.........

In the vertical plane you only need one angle.... could be more than one camera.

Actually two would work one on either side of the goal (or in the goal posts) if they were both blocked then like in all other sports benefit of the doubt to the defending team.
Competent
Was the reason they played so poorly due to a scandal involving an england captain, his wife's sister and a baby by any chance?
High court gagging order in place for 14 days, so watch this space....

Just posted that in the liverpool thread

If these rumours are true, then that puts a different slant on Capellos job. As I said before, I would not have taken either Terry or Gerrard.
