4:2

Two killer goals (1:0 and 4:2), one clear offside goal against us and a ref who likes to be in the player's way. Entertaining, fun, won. Next one, please.

It was on-side - replay shows he was level with the last defender (both times). The Fifa rules is to play advantage to the attacker... :-)

Ok, you can't disagree with the Match XML, surely?:

"12 mins: GOAL Germany 1-1 Costa Rica
The German defence is furious with the linesman but replays show Paulo Wanchope was not offside as Ronald Gomez played a defence splitting pass. The former Premiership player waltzes through on Jens Lehmann and takes his time before picking his spot low to the keeper's right."

I mean, XML never lies... ;-)
