Germany 4-1 England: Brilliant Germany Dismantle Unlucky Three Lions
England are out of the 2010 World Cup after being thrashed by Germany at Free State Stadium. Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski scored and it looked comfortable, but Matthew Upson's tally gave England a chance to comeback. The Three Lions will be aggrieved that a Frank Lampard strike was wrongly disallowed at the end of the first-half, but Thomas Mueller's second-half brace gave coach Joachim Leow's side a convincing 4-1 victory.

World Cup 2010: Steven Gerrard admits mistakes cost England in 4-1 loss to Germany
Steven Gerrard says Germany deserved to win against England after ending the Three Lions’ World Cup 2010 in emphatic style.
Joachim Loew’s side went 2-0 up through Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski before Matthew Upson pulled a goal back before half-time.
Thomas Mueller then grabbed a second-half brace, converting two chances from poorly-defended counter attacks to win 4-1 and set up a tie with either Argentina or Mexico.
Gerrard says Germany deserve to progress to the quarter-finals and admits England weren’t good enough.
“Germany are a fantastic team and deserved to win,” Gerrard told BBC Radio 5 live.
“Unfortunately as a team we made big mistakes today and got punished.
“They were more clinical in front of goal and made less mistakes than us.”
