Now that´s correct, but when Rooney was banned from the playground, the English defense was impressive. The English team started poor, but has improved until today. I have respect for the morale they showed with 10 men. I can live with that outcome, namely because of the arrogance of so many English fans towards my country (Germany). Some still fight the battles of WW2, and refuse to respect us. Therefore, it´s alright that Germany is among the best four teams, and England not (= "In your face!" to those who have no respect).

The end of regulation and OT were the best by both teams. Not many shots on goal before then and both teams seemed content to play a rather slow game, with a few exceptions.

I honestly didn't care about either team. I just can't work myself into a England supporter as most of their fans that live here in the US (ex-Pats) seem to be jerks who *always* root against the USA. Maybe it is just where I live.
