They need to have a challenge system like in American football! Throw down a flag or something to challenge a call that the ref made and have a limited amount of those a game (3 maybe). That way both teams won't be cheated out of goals and calls and refs won't be scrutinized if they make bad calls due to bad judgment.

That is way too complicated because there are stoppages every 10 seconds in american football compared to real football. The easiest way to implement this is for the ref to blow the whistle and tell the 5th referee to review the play. There is no need for red flags or for anything of that sort. If the ref is unsure about a crucial play, then he should stop play for a review. It should not take more than 2 minutes to review a given play which is about how much an injured player takes off the clock when he's hurt, or pretends he's hurt.

I did tweet earlier that England got Blattered, but there is no need for the play on words now, we pretty much got battered!

I've always picked West Ham in Football Manager because in addition to the fact that I support them, I always wanted a challenge, on this showing, maybe I should pick England instead - That might be near enough impossible!

I just played a quick game of FIFA 2010 online as England in World Cup mode. I lost 4-0 to USA, drew 1-1 with Algeria and lost 4-1 to Slovenia. Although this is more likely due to the fact that I play like an arse at these games. Although I did finish 6th in the league when playing in the premiership as Liverpool.

Obviously that wasn't a goal. The game was never tied @ 2. Anyone who isn't blind can obviously see that the ball never went over the line. Just like the US, which had this happen to them twice (though under different circumstances). The refs are always right. Wait...

Well, I didn't watch the game, but after reading up on it and watching some of the videos, and reading these thoughts by the beebs pundits, things really must change.

So what if there was more than one crucial play? What do you call a "crucial play"? Red card agressiveness? A penalty? Shots like these? etc....

what ,nobody found this funny?

No. You failed.

All of you who are crying, saying it would have been different 2-2, saying England was robbed.........

Stop crying and whip the tears.

They need to get some sodding goal line technology in there, having this **** happen in this day and age is a ****ing joke. Would of been a completely different game had it been 2-2 at the beginning of the second half.

German keeper feels he ?fooled the referee?

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer admitted he ?fooled? referee Jorge Larrionda into making the most controversial decision of the World Cup.

Neuer carried on playing even when Frank Lampard?s 38th-minute lob bounced over the line and appeared to give England a clear goal at Free State Stadium. The 24-year-old grabbed the ball and swiftly kicked it upfield as England?s disbelieving players rounded upon Larrionda and begged him to reconsider his decision.

?I didn?t react because I just wanted to concentrate on carrying on and making the game fast,? said Neuer, who plays for Schalke in the German Bundesliga. ?I realized it was tight, but I was quite sure it was over the line. I think that perhaps the way I carried on so quickly fooled the referee and made him think it was not over.

?After the game I was in doping control and saw it on the television. And yes, of course it was over and should have been a goal for England. It was lucky for us and unlucky for them.?

The German team was equally as stunned as England by its slice of good fortune. Head coach Joachim Loew was spotted nudging his assistant and smiling at their luck, while England boss Fabio Capello fumed nearby.

Neuer insisted, though, that the Lampard no-goal made no difference to the eventual outcome Sunday, 4-1, claiming Germany would have won the match in any case.

?It was one incident and yes, it was important,? Neuer said. ?But I believe we were the stronger team and deserved to win the game even without this.

?If you look at the way the match played out then I think our team would have scored the goals we needed just like we did. When you have good luck in football it is important to capitalize on that luck, and we did.?

Germany next takes on Argentina in a quarterfinal at Cape Town?s Green Point Stadium on Saturday.

Things would have been different if it was 2-2 at half time - you could see as soon as Germany scored a third goal and it went to 3-1 England pretty much gave up.

To be honest, I feel sorry for Lampard the most. One inches away, one deflected off the post, and one actually past the goal line - and still no goal! The man deserved one IMO regardless of the end score.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
