Its quite strange That FIFA still do not take help of technology While the role of technology in Cricket is increasing Day by day.I think In cricket the time is coming when there will be no umpires and bowler just have to appeal against third umpire
FIFA World Cup 2010 - Thank You, South Africa!

Sometimes You have to payback the deeds of past.
3. War reparations: England versus West Germany, 1966
Soccer truly came home when the World Cup was played for the first time in England, the nation which invented the game. The hosts won their only championship, but the legality of their winning goal has always been hotly contested, and their beaten foe, West Germany, proceeded to become one of their greatest rivals.

Sometimes You have to payback the deeds of past.
3. War reparations: England versus West Germany, 1966
The final was played at Wembley Stadium in London, a city the Luftwaffe had nearly blitzed into submission 26 years before. The 93,000 who packed the stands were bolstered by 400 million others tuning into televised broadcasts of the game -- the first played between these two rivals since the war. The game was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. Eleven minutes into overtime, English striker Geoff Hurst smashed the ball goalward from close range inside the German box. The ball cannoned off the underside of the German bar and appeared to bounce either over the line or exactly on it depending whether you are English or German. The only opinion that mattered, though, was that of Soviet linesman Tofik Bakhramov, who awarded the goal. There is an apocryphal story that when Bakhramov was on his deathbed he was asked how he was so sure it was a goal and he gave the one-word reply "Stalingrad," referring to the bloody World War II battle in which 750,000 Soviets died.

Recent digitally-enhanced footage is said to clearly illustrate that Geoff Hurst's second goal did not cross the line
German press hails 'revenge' for 1966
"Thank you football God," read Bild's headline following Germany's inflicting England's worst World Cup finals defeat, 4-1 on Sunday, in their Last 16 match.
"After 44 years, the Wembley goal is finally balanced out. Now the English know how we have felt the whole time."
"Sorry," said the Die Welt broadsheet in English. "Now we're even."
"YES!" exclaimed the Berliner Kurier. "That was the revenge for Wembley."
The Neues Deutschland was at least somewhat more balanced in its headline of "Germany advances to the quarter-finals against Argentina with good passing football -- and a little bit of luck."

kanwardeep Singh Ji yes we are fully aware of those facts you have just provided, it still does not stop one from feeling upset over some injustice, 1966 to be honest i was not even born then but you are right there has been a friction between England and Germany since. We had nowhere near the technology we have today to see with pinpoint accuracy. Anyway goodluck to them they were the better team on the day. Just watched the Brazil match it was Fab.
Either FIFA accept use of technology which is now used in almost every sport
or just accept these things as part of game.
In the argentenia vs mexico match a clear offside was given goal.Almost all
the mexican players surrounded the referee but he did not change his decision
Yeah! Dutch play really solid though unattractive Football but they deserved to win in the end... Brazil caught napping due to obvious superiority complex... Dutch can go all the way with only two wins away from title but i think Germany and Argentine are very powerful teams right now in the fray and winner of that match should be confident enough to stake a claim as well... Dutch would cherish this day rest of their lives... i guess... icecreammunda

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what you mean by "unattractive." I think you mean the Dutch use basic moves and have a lot of motivation and stamina. But they lack a kind of inspiration that is seen in great athletes. I know very little about this game, and to tell the truth, it would help to know what that inspiration or attractiveness looks like in order to appreciate the play more.

Yeah! one of the best matches! and what a presence of mind by both of the Uruguay defenders... both decided in an instant to use hands to deny that goal and LO! they still has a chance if the penalty is stopped... he gets a red card but becomes a folklore hero of coming Uruguay generations... Tomorrow is GERMANS ver ARGENTINIANS! icecreammunda That would be another hearth breaker... both teams deserve to be in the finals...

My guess Germany will be World Champion, Let see
The front page of The Hindu is now full of stories about the upset. Late in the World Cup, the news is at high tide. It has turned out to be bitter and with Germany now according to the newspaper trying to soften the rhetoric between the two countries. It must be so difficult so late in the game for Argentina to lose, with no chance to come back.
Heroes of yesterday now eliminated.

Germany has made it to at least the semi-final stages in the last 15 World Cup tournaments...that's a hugely impressive record
Shame a country with the population of India can't field a team when the African nations can, and have done so well too...just look at Ghana
There's a lot of investment in Cricket and I find the Indian Super-league hugely entertaining. Why not football??
