Evidence: Why Lampard's goal was rightly disallowed!

The following photo document, hitherto kept under lock and key by FIFA officials, was leaked to us by a mole and reveals clearly why Frank Lampard's would-be equalizer in minute 38 of the World Cup round of 16 match Germany vs England was rightly disallowed by referee Jorge Larrionda and his linesmen.

Now, finally, the score is even as far as "Wembley goals" are concerned…

Euro U21 Final: Germany vs England 4-0 (all goals)!

Amazing final...

1-0: Castro (23’)

2-0 Oezil (48’)

3-0 Wagner (79’)

4-0 Wagner (84’)

Good show! Hope some of them will meet again in South Africa 2010!
