5. They forgot to mention arguably the most shocking and scariest part of this moment (which I understand, because there was a lot to be shocked about, but still)…

   That in 2006, in an Adidas commercial, an incident eerily similar to this was portrayed (1:53–2:00 in the video below)! In that commercial, Lampard shoots the ball towards the crossbar as German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn reaches out with one outstretched arm, the ball hits the crossbar and comes down near the line as Kahn grabs it, and Lampard and his team start celebrating a goal while Kahn denies it and there's controversy over whether the ball crossed the line! The commercial even showed Gerrard and Schweinsteiger (both of whom were on the field playing when that ghost goal happened in 2010) being the primary field players standing next to Kahn arguing about it! And yes, obviously, at the time, that was supposed to be a reference towards the 1966 controversy, but the fact that that "modern-day reenactment" of that controversy actually happened with the exact same England player taking the controversial shot four years later and spotlighting two more actual participants in the real-life event 4 years later is downright chilling!
   
   
   

   Real life truly is sometimes stranger than fiction!

16. It was totally irrelevant cos Germany would have won either 4-1 or 4-2.

17. No this wasn't the most shocking moment of the WC. If the goal stands, we never know how the game ends. Maybe England still goes out regardless. We'll never know. So this can't be the most shocking moment.

    The most shocking moment is Luis Suarez's handball against Ghana. If Suarez doesn't save that ball with his hands, the balls goes in and Ghana make history by being the first African country to make it to a WC semi final.

    So no. It's not the most shocking because the result remains unknown if Lampards goal stands, whereas if Ghana's goal stand, Uruguay go home, and Ghana are through to the next round.

21. How do you disallowed a goal where the ball bounced so far behind the line. Everyone knew it was in. It’s not the referees fault

22. Maradona’s handball, Sol Campbell’s disallowed header and this ghost goal … and yet all people want to talk about is the 50/50 penalty decision against Denmark like it’s the greatest injustice in football history.
