Germany V England

[TornadoShaunUK]

I think we need to start making a few pansy dives in the box. The ref might wanna even things out in this game...

 

[LCFCmonkey]

No-one has mentioned it yet, so I will. Klose was offside for the first.

 

[Jeff]

Klose was offside for the first.

No he wasn't.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Rooney and Gerrard are really getting on my tits...

The OFFICIAL SOCCER SITE - Law 11

XI - Offside

Offside Position

It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if:
he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent
A player is not in an offside position if:
he is in his own half of the field of play or
he is level with the second last opponent or
he is level with the last two opponents

Offence

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
interfering with play or
interfering with an opponent or
gaining an advantage by being in that position

No Offence

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:

a goal kick or

a throw-in or
a corner kick

nice goal

 

[Jeff]

4-1

England's defending has been awful

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

what terrible defending throughout the match. You just have to wonder what might have been if that goal had been given it may have changed the shape of the game completely...

 

[Motown Fox]

Twice we gave the ball away whilst on the attack and they broke away and scored

 

[DesertFox]

Wish I'd put money on the 4-1 to Germany I predicted before the game...

 

[RHYDAL]

Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over. That'll be England.

 

[DesertFox]

Some people are on the pitch, they're all over the place. That'll be England's defence.

You're not wrong, my Welsh chum.

 

[Jeff]

Are Wales out yet?

 

[RHYDAL]

Are Wales out yet?

Out in New Zealand shagging.

 

[Motown Fox]

Germans taking the piss now. We are pathetic and Capello's not got a clue

 

[Jeff]

Out in New Zealand shagging sheep.

They can stay at home and do that.

 

[Listy]

don't feel that bad now about the Aussies losing 4-0 to this lot now. And we had 10 men.

 

[Macky]

SWP coming on... that could make all the difference

 

[RHYDAL]

Anyone have Rooney for the Golden Boot?

 

[Motown Fox]

They can stay at home and do that.

Different class of sheep though
