Footballing atrocities happen every day at all levels of football.
But it is rare that an avoidable game changing footballing atrocity is witnessed live by a worldwide audience.
I will admit that after seeing Lampard's goal ruled out that I felt quietly confident that the referee would award England a dodgy penalty in the 2nd half, or at least wrongly rule out a good German goal for offside.
Upon witnessing the Tevez offside fiasco my first thought was that Argentina would allow Mexico to walk the ball into the net from the restart.
But I am English. Yes, I'll admit it. I was raised by English parents and Grandparents. If someone drops a pound coin I pick it up and give it back to them. I don't slide my foot over it and watch them crawl around, then kick them repeatedly in the anus. I don't vote for or serve a government intent on ethnic cleansing, nor do I provide welcome for the fleeing cowards that do.
Reputation management is the new P.R. Both nations have a chequered and some might say uneasy relationship with the rest of the world. should Germany & Argentina volunteer a rematch?
