THE ARTICLE
From http://www.BreakingNewsEnglish.com/world_cup_news_2010/germany_england.html
The head of FIFA Sepp Blatter played his part in
Germany’s 4-1 demolition of England. With the score
at 2-1 to Germany, England’s Frank Lampard fired a
shot a metre over the line. It was not given by the
referee. Blatter’s refusal to allow video technology in
football cost England dearly. Blatter’s 19th-century
thinking aside, Germany clearly deserved to win this
game. The English defense failed four times. German
attackers showed four times how brilliantly they can
finish. Miroslav Klose powered in front of England’s
Matthew Upson to slide the ball past goalkeeper David
James for the first. Lukas Podolski beat the 'keeper
from a tight angle for Germany’s second. Matthew
Upson got one back for England before Lampard scored
to equalize, but didn’t. England came out the stronger
after the break but two goals from Thomas Mueller put
the game to bed.
