"Football doesn't get any simpler than that" said Mark Lawrenson as Miroslav Klose tucked in another supreme counter attacking goal to wrap up this one. He's probably right.
Germany were always going to win.
Argentina could have done with some forewarning.
A single goal behind at half time, having had a goal of their own disallowed, they got caught by a couple of sucker punches on the break in the second half. If only they'd watched the England game...
Although to even begin to liken England's performance to Argentina's is offensive in the extreme. Sorry, Diego!
The more observant of you will have noticed that England's exit coincided with the death of my enthusiasm for this World Cup.
This is only partly true.
While Germany were flattening Maradona & Co. I was enjoying a long weekend in the village of Little London in East Sussex. The weather? Well it was very similar to what it's like now, thank you very much. Which makes me realise that in between this game and this blog, we've made it through an entire winter:
