FIFA World Cup moments: When Frank Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany provided impetus for goalline technology
FirstpostBesides being an ‘England v Germany’, Lampard’s ‘goal’ came at a pivotal juncture in the knockout game. The scoreline read 2-1 in the favour of Germany, when the former Chelsea midfielder’s shot would have been the equaliser at the same time providing England the momentum. Call it a ghost goal, a disallowed goal, phantom goal or simply goal, all stand correct while describing England midfielder Frank Lampard’s effort against Germany in the Round of 16 tie during the 2010 World Cup game in Bloemfontein. The scoreline read 2-1 in the favour of Germany, when the former Chelsea midfielder’s shot would have been the equaliser, and at the same time providing England the momentum. While it drew various reactions from world over, Lampard, who had his arms aloft first in triumph and later in dismay, didn’t dwell on what could have been another World Cup goal for his nation.
