At the City of Roses, Bloemfontein , the German team thrashed England 4-1. The emphatic win in the Round of 16 was completed by Mueller the young striker of Germany. Germany took the lead in the first half during 20th minute from Miraslav Klose. The second goal came of the boots of Podolski . England was 2 down but in the dying minutes of first half showed some dominance. England netted their first from Upson but were denied the equaliser from Lampard thanks to some bad refereeing. Well the ball bounced back almost 2 feet behind the goal line. But then this was an unlucky day for England. Lampard,Gerrard,Terry the so called golden generation of England had a disappointing day in the field.
The second half was completely dominated by the Germans. They remained a cohesive unit with superb counter attacking skills exposing England's defense more than once.
