Lampard Scores In Extra Time To Keep Our Hopes Alive.
Special Report from South Africa 2010. World Cup Round of 16: England 5-4 Germany
With about 30 million viewers glued to their TV sets, it wasn't just the power demand on the National Grid that surged earlier today. ??England transformed themselves from pedestrian to perfection after going two down in 12 minutes and the game itself turned on a controversial decision, which, had technology not intervened, could have been so different for Fabio Capello's men.
England appeared low on energy and ideas and when Klose and Podolski scored to give Germany a 2-0 lead, it was difficult to see a way back. ??Even after Upson scored, England were still second best, but then a thunderbolt from Lampard, which cannoned in off the crossbar, had us all believing. ??Incredibly, the referee initially disallowed the goal, but such was the protest from England the video ref was called into action and the goal stood, tying the game at 2-2.
Justice clearly prevailed and England were immediately lifted by the moment, shaking off their lethargy and taking the game to Germany. ??The change was electrifying and goals from Rooney and Terry put England 4-2 in front , sending the 20,000 England fans in??Bloemfontein into raptures. ??They thought it was all over, but this wonderful advert for World Cup football, had two more twists in the tale. ??Mueller scored twice bringing Germany level and forcing extra time before the dramatic winner from Lampard. ??Bring on Argentina!
Whether on the pitch or in the office, technology empowers human performance and can be the difference between winning and losing. In sport the use of technology is an area of debate, but in business there is no argument. Get It Right. Because Business Is Not A Game.??Click here??to find out more.
