Youth is being served by the Germans.
On that breakaway, the german player just flew past the defender. :eek:
Right now, they are making England look old & slow. :s

England should move their backs up to midfield, considering they arent doing anything anyway! Or even better, substitute Rooney with someone decent.
Yes, the ref played a major role but in the 2nd half the Germans dominated the match.
English defence and keeper were awful. German keeper and defence were not much better and things could be different if Capello didn't insist on useless Rooney..
England should limit the zillions of foreign players that play in Premiership, me thinks.
Rooney is one of are best players but i agree something was wrong and to be brutally honest England are crap... Germany are good any way but were just simply dont have what it takes. Its not the manager...its not the ball...its the bloody playersQuote:

Disgraceful. And I wish the pundits would stop banging on about the disallowed goal. We have been terrible throughout this tournament and were completely outclassed today.
I wish there was a Plan B but there just isn't. Utterly hopeless.
Well at least getting walked on in the second half should take away some of the sting of that disallowed goal :p :

Yeah right... blame dem furriners :laugh:
An average German team rips England apart!
The sad thing is that all of the German goals were so easy. It was the worst defensive performance I've ever seen (maybe apart from Italy the other night).
Glenn Johnson should be dropped as he is lazy and has never sprinted in his life.
Gareth Barry was dreadful as the holding midfielder. How did he get beaten to the ball by Ozil for the 4th goal? Carrick or a fit Hargreaves are much better in that role.
I've never seen Terry play so bad, he looked lost without Rio Ferdinand next to him. The Klose goal that came from the goal kick....first rule for a center back with a long ball played at you is DO NOT LET THE BALL BOUNCE! What the hell were they doing?
And Rooney?...........WTF?
When it comes to the goal that wasn't given - it changed the match. England would not have been so attacking if it was 2-2.
England missed Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves. Wes Brown would have been a more solid defender than Upson, especially when on the ball.
At least England don't get embarrassed by Argentina now.
