If the goal was awarded when lampard scored it wont be easy to get a third goal for the Germans.

@op
I like that. lol

As far as FIFA is concerned, if the ball did not rock the net, it is not a goal.
So the net takes precedence over the goal-line even though the goal-line precedes the net? seems  illogical. Get rid of the goal-line.

@IYA NGBALI,i disagree with u,if the score have been 2-2 at that time things would av change and the final score might not be 4-2 as u put it.

For me it is not wheather Germany won or if England could have won the game were the goal allowed. It is about how to modify the game so as to eliminate all these arguements caused by human error.

As of Now, a goal is only a goal when the referee says so. It is not a goal even if all the people in the stadium see it plus all the replay and slow motion when the referee does not see it.

Does this not leave too much power in the hands of the referee?? Dont forget that a lot of money $$BILLIONS are at stake in the game. Pride and patriotism are also ingridients that come to play here  too.

In my opinion all these can be enhanced if we use goal line technolgy to assist the referee. Tennis, Ice hockey and other games are already using technology to help the referee settle important disputes. I think football should adopt it.


But i ask myself " how we go take dey play our game now for that field wey dey mushin?? Abi na different kind football we go dey play?? So where we go get money take install goaline tech. for our own field for backyard

lol

If coulibaly (Malian Refree) deserve to b sent home for disallowing US goal then the refrees dat refered England/Germany Argrntina/Mexico,CIV/Brazil n many others shud hav been sent home by now.Frank Lampard's goal is a good Goal while Carlos tevez and Luis Fabianos' goals shud av been disallowed, poor Refereeing.FIFA pls work 2wards dat, 'cos it's killing d game. Also FIFA help reduce RACISM to minimum ratio.

Very Funny!!

Its also funny that some guys do not see the humour in the original post.

its ok guys, we need not to quarel over dis,
let us award the goal dat was cancelled to england

Simple Arithmetic coupled with Daton's atomic theory of matter

Put the goal at Germ. (3)---- Eng. (2) , and not as you said above.

Nairaland has lost it's humor. You're supposed to laugh.

@OP: That's some funny excreta you've got there. The referee's view perhaps?

Laugh like tomorrow no dey

aawwwww

I can see people are really vexing but the post was meant to be a joke with the pic photoshoped

the best joke of the year

on a serious note, 10 of the referees who made blunders during 1st and 2nd round have been sent home (including the id1ot who didnt allow Lampard goal),LOL!!

The 10 referees deemed to be the worst in the tournament were excluded from the final list of elite officials who will be in contention to take charge of the all-important quarterfinal rounds onward.

All 10 packed up their things from the secret refereeing base near Pretoria – where the officials have lived in isolation since the start of the World Cup – and were due to catch flights home either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

In the list of those axed was Koman Coulibaly, the referee who gained notoriety for controversially denying the United States a potential game-winning goal against Slovenia in the group stage. Uruguay’s Jorge Larrionda, who committed the most high-profile mistake of the event by denying England’s Frank Lampard a goal against Germany, even though his strike landed more than two feet over the goal line.

Another referee to be sent home was Stephane Lannoy of France, a leading European official who was originally expected to take charge of key matches late in the tournament. But Lannoy’s fate was sealed when he sent off Brazil’s Kaka against the Ivory Coast for an innocuous challenge. So too was that of Italian Roberto Rosetti, who allowed Argentina’s hotly disputed first goal against Mexico in the round of 16.

HAD IT BEEN IT IS 2-2, THE game will have not ended wit dat scores. But still Germany teams really look like machine dat day!

av said it times without number English boys dont understand football their techniques are weak.And it is why i dont like to watch their league
Lampard is over-rated,Gerrard is over-rated,Rooney is over-rated

even if the goal was counted Germany would definitely carried the day cuz those german boys were on fire and every body could notice it in dem they were all over the pitch unlike dem English boys who suck
